Preparing the LMF
Overview of Packet BTS files
R16.0 and earlier releases had the configuration file called CDF for each
BTS and CBSC used by LMF. In 16.1 Packet BTS, BTS with GLI3
booting in packet binary, the CDF is replaced by two new configuration
files called Network Element Configuration Base (NECB) and Network
Element Change Journal (NECJ). The NECB contains the baseline
configuration and is analogous to the CDF, while the NECJ contains all
the changes made to the configuration since the last time the NECB was
re–generated. Once the NECJ gets to 80% of its maximum size, the
NECB is re–generated and all the updates are rolled into it.
These files play much broader and vital role than previous CDF files.
GLI3 booting in circuit binaries works similar to R16.0.
A few LMF related important facts about these files are listed below.
S Both files (NECB and NECJ) are in XML format.
S NECB contains all the up-to-date static configuration information and
NECJ contains all the recent changes (including operations) which are
not updated in the NECB.
S Both files can be viewed in any XML viewer (most easily available is
Internet Explorer V5.0 and higher). They can be also viewed by any
other word processor, but the XML tags will also be seen with them.
S These files will be created by OMC–R from MIB as per the BTS
provisioning.
S These files will be regenerated for each software release upgrade on
the system for each BTS.
S These files will reside on both OMC–R and Packet–GLI3 (unlike
CDF) and will be synchronized periodically between them.
S Both NECB and NECJ file contain a “SoftwareVersion” field in their
header section indicating the system release version of these files.
S Instead of the bts#.cdf file, the packet LMF uses a bts#.XML file,
which is a copy of the NECB.XML file.
S Packet–GLI3 will need these files for site initialization.
S The scope of NECB has grown much broader than CDF and has much
more BTS centric information. The use of generic version of these
files should be strictly avoided for the correct site initialization.
