Ericsson XML Collector for SGSN MME devices 

Fri December 29, 2023 02:35 PM

About this Automation:

This automation reads in Ericsson xml files generated by an Ericsson EMS system:

The files conform to:  "http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/specs/archive/32_series/32.435#measCollec"

<fileHeader fileFormatVersion="32.435 V9.0" vendorName="Ericsson">
The files are expected to be deposited into the "inbox" folder defined in the workflow, and are expected to be an xml file that has been gzipped.  
Once the automation processes a file, it will move it from the inbox to the outbox folder for historical purposes.  In production, you should implement logRotate service on your NMS to trim the outbox folder so that it doesn't fill up your file system.

List of requirements:

Rapid Network Automation Version: 1.1 or newer

SevOne Version: 6.6.0 or newer

Environment Required:

NMS Credentials

SSH Credentials for NMS

Setup:

  • Import workflow folder -- Will create a folder in RNA called "Ericsson XML Collector"
  • Create Authentications:
    • "nms" -- type:  SevOne
    • "nms_ssh" -- type: SSH
  • Modify the start block for the workflow entitled "Install xml inbox and outbox folders".
    • modify the folder paths as desired.
    • verify the SSHCredentials field contains your "admin/nms_ssh" authentication.
  • Run the workflow entitled "Install xml inbox and outbox folders".  This should create the folders where you will place your inbound xml files in gzipped format (inbox), and where the automation will move the files to after processing them (outbox).
  • copy the example included xml file to the inbox folder.
  • Modify the start block for the workflow entitled "Ericsson XML Collector"
    • modify the folder paths as desired
    • verify the SSHCredentials and NMSCredentials fields contain your authentications created earlier.
  • Run the workflow.

Expected Results:

There should be a new test device called "BR1MME01" added to your system, along with several Ericsson "deferred" objectTypes created.
