1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Scope of the document

This document specifies the A1353-RA Remove Inventory Export (ARIE) Interface forRelease B10 onwards.

The way the corresponding files (called ARIE files in what follows) are transferred is out ofthe scope of this document.

The way the corresponding files are build in the equipment is out of the scope of thisdocument.

1.2 Overview of the ARIE interface

The A1353-RA Remove Inventory Export (ARIE) interface is an interface that permits toaccess to ARIE files located in the A1353-RA File Transfer Repository (AFTR).

An ARIE file contains the necessary data for a precise identification of an item (hardware,firmware, ...) of a given equipment.Examples of such remote inventory data are:

− board manufacturing information (serial number, factory release date),

− board identification (name, identification),

− board history information (date of warrant, first in service date),

− repair history (date of last repair).

The inventory data retrieval can be processed in different ways, automatic or on demand,according to the A1353-RA operators needs.

The ARIE files produced can be distinguished according to:

− The concerned equipments.• For Evolium BTS equipments, the files are called A1353-RA BTS Remote

Inventory Export files (ABTRIE files for short).

• For MFS equipments, the files are called A1353-RA MFS Equipment RemoteInventory Export files (AMERIE files for short).

• For BSC equipments, the files are called A1353-RA BSC Equipment RemoteInventory Export files (ABSRIE files for short).

• For TC equipments, the files are called A1353-RA TC  Equipment RemoteInventory Export files (ATCRIE files for short).

− The granularity of the exported data.

• If the granularity is the equipment itself, the qualifier 'unitary' will be used as prefix;

• If the granularity is the A1353-RA instance, the qualifier 'full' will be used as prefix.

A similar convention is used for related issues (directories, export mechanisms, ...).

1.3 Conventions and notations

To specify the form taken by a number of items (names, etc..), the following conventionsare used:

2. A1353-RA REMOTE INVENTORY FILE EXPORT REPOSITORY

The A1353-RA has a repository dedicated to file transfers to external clients, called theA1353-RA File Transfer Repository (AFTR). The information required to reach this moregeneral file repository is predefined at the installation of an A1353-RA instance.

One sub-directory under AFTR is dedicated to the A1353-RA Remote Inventory Interface.The A1353-RA Remote Inventory Export directory is named ‘ARIE’.The full ARIE files (produced per A1353-RA instance) are directly placed under thatdirectory.

Under the ARIE directory, the following (sub-)directories are defined for unitary ARIE files:

−−−− The unitary A1353-RA BTS Remote Inventory Export directoriesThere is one sub-directory per BSS used for the unitary ABTRIE files for that BSS. Ithas a name of the form:

‘ARIE_BSS<BSCId >export’where <BSCId > is an integer that identifies the BSC equipment (called the BSC ID in

what follows). It is equal to the value of the “M.3100”:managedElementComplexId of thecorresponding “EML”:alcatelManagedElementComplex object instance.When a BSC is declared/removed by an A1353-RA operator, then the correspondingdirectory is automatically created/deleted by the A1353-RA.

− The unitary A1353-RA MFS Equipment Inventory Export directory There is one sub-directory dedicated to the unitary AMERIE files. It has the followingname:

‘ARIE_MFSexport’It is created at the A1353-RA installation time.

− The unitary A1353-RA BSC Equipment Inventory Export directory There is one sub-directory per BSS used for the unitary ABSRIE files for that BSC (the

same as for BTS). It has a name of the form:‘ARIE_BSS<BSCId >export’where <BSCId > is an integer that identifies the BSC equipment (called the BSC ID inwhat follows).When a BSC is declared/removed by an A1353-RA operator, then the correspondingdirectory is automatically created/deleted by the A1353-RA.

− The unitary A1353-RA TC Equipment Inventory Export directory There is one sub-directory dedicated to the unitary ATCRIE files. It has the followingname:

‘ARIE_TCexport’It is created at the A1353-RA installation time.

Only the A1353-RA is allowed to create or delete such directories. The files contained insuch directories can only be created/modified/deleted by the A1353-RA. On the other hand,any application can fetch them via ftp.

3. THE ABTRIE FILES

3.1 Format and name of the ABTRIE files

3.1.1 Unitary ABTRIE files

The format used for a unitary ABTRIE file is plain ASCII text, organized in lines withmaximum 255 characters each.

Its name corresponds to the serial number of the first rack, which is defined so as to bealways unique.More precisely, this serial number has the following form:

<factory ><year ><week number ><XY ><ABC >where:

− <factory > is two characters identifying the factory in which the rack has beenmanufactured.

− <year > is the two digits representation of the year at which the rack was manufactured.− <week number> is the two digits representation of the week number at which the rack

was manufactured.

− <XY ><ABC > is five (2+3) characters ensuring the uniqueness of the serial numberamong the racks manufactured in the same factory the same week of the same year.

The corresponding unitary ABTRIE file name is <factory ><year ><weeknumber ><XY >.<ABC >. Its length is therefore of 12 characters.For example, if the first rack has the serial number EK0023AB146

− it is a rack manufactured in the factory identified by EK, week 23 of year 2000 with arelative identifier equal to AB146

− the name of the corresponding ARIE file is EK0023AB.146

3.1.2 Full ABTRIE filesThe format used for a full ABTRIE file is the (so-called) Comma Separated Value (CSV)format that consists in several lines separated by CR, each line being of the form:

<linePart >[;<linePart >];where <linePart > contains only characters different from ‘;’ and CR.It is the same as for the ACIE MOC files. See [ACIE-gene] for more information on thisformat.

The name of a full ABTRIE file is of the form:<A1353RAInstance>  _abtrie.csv

where <A1353RAInstance> is a character string that indicates the concerned A1353-RAinstance.

More precisely, it is a predefined value that uniquely identifies the A1353-RA instancethroughout the world. It is assigned at the A1353-RA instance installation time. Its length isat most 32 characters.Example: A1353RA_83193b5b_abtrie.csv

3.2 Structure of the unitary ABTRIE files

3.2.1 General description

The unitary ABTRIE file is divided in three areas (that appear in that order):

<ABTRIE header data area><ABTRIE item data area><ABTRIE  final data area >

Each data area consists in a set of lines.

Each line represents one type of information. It begins with a first character, called the lineindicator, followed by a character that is either a space or "-" (see section 3.2.2).

3.2.2 Line indicator description

The line indicator indicates the structure and meaning of the rest of the line.The following table indicates, for each of the possible line indicators, the character following

it, the type of line and the area in which such a line can appear:

final data area

Table 1: The possible line indicators

In particular, each line beginning with character 'C' followed by a space character is a

comment line. Such a line can be inserted anywhere in the file. Its contents are onlycomments intended for human readers, e.g. for additional information or just to improve thereadability of the file (table titles, split lines, ...).

3.2.3 Header data area description

The header data area gives general information concerning the entire file.It consists in a set of header data lines that can appear in any order.

3.2.4 Item data area description

3.2.4.1 Structure of the item data area

The item data area defines the properties of all inventory items.

It is arranged as a table in which:

− Each column corresponds to one property.The set of possible properties together with the corresponding layout window (startcolumn + length) are specified in section 3.2.4.2 and the characteristics that depend onthe concerned object are specified in section 3.2.4.2.The position of a property value within its layout window is not relevant (i.e. itsalignment can be left, centered, right or justified)

− Each line corresponds to one object which can be one of the following:

• a rack,

• a shelf (also called a subrack),

• a firmware,

• another replaceable item (also called module)

If this item provides remote inventory data itself, it is called a module, otherwise, itis called an additional module

The aforementioned objects are mainly considered to be organized into racks containingshelves, themselves containing slots. This corresponds to a classic hardware organisation.

Some hardware equipment architecture or aforementioned objects differ from the classicrack/shelf/slot organisation. For example, a box may contain modules without anyrack/shelf/slot organisation. For such type of hardware, the rack/shelf/slot value should beconsidered as a logical number. Further information on this logical organisation can befound in section 3.2.4.2.

Item data lines are sorted by ascending order of the position in that rack/shelf/slot

organisation, i.e.:− The first item data line describes rack number 1 (called the basic rack)

− The next item data line describes the first available shelf in rack 1.N.B.: Shelf data lines can be omitted if shelves are not treated as replaceable items

− The following item data lines describe all replaceable items located in this shelf inascending order of the slot number.

3.2.4.2 Further information on the rack/shelf/slot organisation

The following conventions are used as regards the rack/shelf/slot organisation assumed bythe item data area:

−Rack/shelf/slot convention for firmware items The rack/shelf/slot values for a firmware item are deduced from those of thecorresponding hardware item on which it is mounted using the following convention:

• firmware item rack value = hardware item rack value

• firmware item shelf value = hardware item shelf value + 10

• firmware item slot value = hardware item slot valueFor example, for a hardware item placed in rack1, shelf2, slot5, the associated firmwareis considered to be placed in rack1, shelf12, slot5.

Notes:(1)  The mnemonic of a firmware item are deduced from that of the corresponding hardware

item on which it is mounted by suffixing the latter's mnemonic with "FW".For example, for the hardware item with mnemonic "TRGM ", the associated firmwarehas the mnemonic "TRGMFW".

(2)  The mnemonic of an additional module is equal to "ADDIMOD".

3.2.4.5 Final data area description

4. THE AMERIE FILES

4.1 Format and Name of the AMERIE files

4.1.1 Unitary AMERIE files

The format used for the unitary AMERIE file is the (so-called) Comma Separated Value(CSV) format that consists in several lines separated by CR, each line being of the form:

<linePart >[;<linePart >];where <linePart > contains only characters different from ‘;’ and CR.

Its name is of the form:mfs<MFSId >_amerie.csv

with <MFSId > an integer value equal to the MFS Identifier.Example: mfs500_amerie.csv

4.1.2 Full AMERIE files

The format used for a full AMERIE file is the (so-called) Comma Separated Value (CSV)format that consists in several lines separated by CR, each line being of the form:

<linePart >[;<linePart >];where <linePart > contains only characters different from ‘;’ and CR.It is the same as for the ACIE MOC files. See [ACIE-gene] for more information on thisformat.The name of a full AMERIE file is of the form:

<A1353RAInstance>  _amerie.csvwhere <A1353RAInstance> is a character string that indicates the concerned A1353-RAinstance.More precisely, it is a predefined value that uniquely identifies the A1353-RA instance

throughout the world. It is assigned at the A1353-RA instance installation time. Its length isat most 32 characters.Example: A1353RA_83193b5b_amerie.csv

4.2 Structure of the unitary AMERIE files

5.1 Format and Name of the ABSRIE files

5.1.1 Unitary ABSRIE files

The format used for the unitary ABSRIE file is the (so-called) Comma Separated Value(CSV) format that consists in several lines separated by CR, each line being of the form:

<linePart >[;<linePart >];where <linePart > contains only characters different from ‘;’ and CR.

Its name is of the form:mxbsc<BSCId >_absrie.csv

with <BSCId > an integer value equal to the BSC Identifier.Example: mxbsc7_absrie.csv

Note: Only BSC Evolution has remote inventory capabilities.

5.1.2 Full ABSRIE files

The default format used for a full ABSRIE file is the (so-called) Comma Separated Value(CSV) format that consists in several lines separated by CR, each line being of the form:

<linePart >[;<linePart >];where <linePart > contains only characters different from ‘;’, CR and ‘,’.It is the same as for the ACIE MOC files. See [ACIE-gene] for more information on thisformat.

Note: The operator can choose the separator (‘;’ or ‘,’) from A1353-RA interface.

The name of a full ABSRIE file is of the form:<A1353RAInstance>  _absrie.csv

where <A1353RAInstance>   is a character string that indicates the concerned A1353-RAinstance.More precisely, it is a predefined value that uniquely identifies the A1353-RA instancethroughout the world. It is assigned at the A1353-RA instance installation time. Its length isat most 32 characters.Example: A1353RA_83a8ed03_absrie.csv

5.2 Structure of the unitary ABSRIE files

5.2.1 General descriptionThe unitary ABSRIE file is divided in two areas (that appear in that order):

< ABSRIE header data area>< ABSRIE item data area>

Each data area consists in a set of lines.

Each line represents one type of information. It begins with a first character, called the lineindicator, followed by a character that is either a ‘;’ or "-" (see section 5.2.2).

5.2.2 Line indicator description

The line indicator shows the structure and the meaning of the rest of the line.

The following table indicates, for each of the possible line indicators, the character followingit, the type of line and the area in which such a line can appear:

Line indicator (first character)

In particular, each line beginning with character 'C' followed by a space or “;” character is a

comment line. Such a line can be inserted anywhere in the file. Its contents are onlycomments intended for human readers, e.g. for additional information or just to improve thereadability of the file (table titles, split lines, ...).

5.2.3 Header data area description

The header data area gives general information concerning the entire file.It consists in a set of header data lines that can appear in any order.

A header data line is of the following form:<headerDataName >;<headerDataValue >;

where:

<headerDataName > is a character string in which the character case is not relevant (allcharacters are treated as uppercase ones).

− <headerDataValue > is the value of the corresponding header data, beginning at aspecific column.

7. EXPORT MECHANISMS

7.1 Unitary Remote Inventory Export sessions

Triggers:A unitary Remote Inventory Export session can be triggered either by an A1353-RAoperator (entitled to perform Remote Inventory tasks) or automatically.

Pre-conditions:None.

Inputs:

− Export session mode: either automatic or on-demand

− Additional inputs for automatic export:

• administrative state (locked/unlocked)• acquisition period (in days)

• acquisition time

(same value for all kind of unitary Remote Inventory Export session).− Additional inputs for on-demand export

• List of selected equipments(BTS equipments for unitary ABTRIE sessions, MFS equipments for unitaryAMERIE sessions, BSC equipments for unitary ABSRIE sessions, TCequipments for unitary ATCRIE sessions)

• Force Remote Inventory (FALSE/TRUE) only in case of BTS remote inventory

Outputs:In the concerned export directory, the corresponding ARIE files are produced.More precisely,

• For a unitary ABTRIE session:

The concerned export directory is the unitary A1353-RA BTS RemoteInventory Export directory corresponding to the associated BSC (i.e. thecorresponding ARIE_BSS<BSCId >export directory)

− The corresponding produced ARIE files are unitary ABTRIE files.• For a unitary AMERIE session:

− The concerned export directory is the unitary A1353-RA MFS EquipmentRemote Inventory Export directory (i.e. the ARIE_MFSexport directory)

−−−− The corresponding produced ARIE files are unitary AMERIE files 

• For a unitary ABSRIE session:

− The concerned export directory is the unitary A1353-RA BSC RemoteInventory Export directory corresponding to the BSC (i.e. the correspondingARIE_BSS<BSCId >export directory)

− The corresponding produced ARIE files are unitary ABSRIE files.

• For a unitary ATCRIE session:− The concerned export directory is the unitary A1353-RA TC Equipment

Remote Inventory Export directory (i.e. the ARIE_TCexport directory)

−−−− The corresponding produced ARIE files are unitary ATCRIE files 

Description:

The inventory data can be exported by different means:

− Automatically by configuring an acquisition period and positioning appropriately theadministrative state (equal to unlocked)In that case, the A1353-RA polls all the equipments having the remote inventorycapability with the periodicity indicated by the acquisition period argument and at thetime indicated by the activation time argument. The ARIE export repository is updatedwith most recent files.This allows the A1353-RA to provide up-to-date inventory data at a user-definedperiodicity.

− Automatically by positioning appropriately the administrative state (equal to unlocked)In that case, whenever the A1353-RA detects the extension or reduction of equipmentshardware, it exports the corresponding ARIE files.This allows the A1353-RA to provide automatically up-to-date ARIE files.

− On operator's demandIn that case, the A1353-RA uploads the ARIE files for each of the selected equipments.This allows detecting the minor changes or is an alternative of the automatic mode.

The operator can lock/unlock the autonomous triggering of the ARIE files export. Whenlocked, no automatic export is performed, but the A1353-RA operator can always performthe on demand inventory. The lock allows not to jeopardize the performance of long

activities like a migration.

In case of BTS equipment, on A1353-RA request, the equipment polls its inventoryEEPROM. The equipment only sends back its inventory data if and only if hardwaremodifications have been done since the last acquisition. This allows, in the nominal case, toeasily reduce the inventory data flow with the equipments. The acquisition can be onlyforced in the on demand case.In case of MFS equipment, on A1353-RA request, the inventory data is transferred toA1353-RA. Based on checksum mechanism, the new inventory data is kept (if different thanprevious) or not.In case of BSC equipment, on A1353-RA request, the equipment polls its inventoryEEPROMs. Then the inventory data is transferred to A1353-RA. Based on checksummechanism, the new inventory data is kept (if different than previous) or not.

In case of TC equipment, on A1353-RA request, the inventory data is transferred to A1353-RA. Based on checksum mechanism, the new inventory data is kept (if different thanprevious) or not.

On reception of inventory data, the A1353-RA stores the inventory data as file.There is at most one ARIE file produced per equipment.

When choosing the automatic mode, the operator can modify the acquisition period fromone day to 30 days (7 days is the default value). The inventory data retrieval is usually madeduring non-busy hours and does not disrupt the other data retrieval (alarms,performances,…). Nevertheless, the user has the capability to stop the automatic mode atany time (lock/unlock inventory). In that case, the operator can still retrieve the inventorydata by using the “on demand” function.

Files cleanup:An ARIE file thus produced is deleted when the equipment is no longer supervised orwhen the related NE (BSC for unitary ABTRIE files, MFS for unitary AMERIE files, BSCfor unitary ABSRIE files and TC for unitary ATCRIE files) is no longer managed by theA1353-RA.

7.2 Full Remote Inventory Exportsessions

Triggers:A full Remote Inventory Export session can be triggered either by an A1353-RAoperator (entitled to perform Remote Inventory tasks) or automatically by the A1353-RAafter the automatic ACIE export sessions.

N.B.: These automatic ACIE export sessions are triggered automatically by theA1353-RA every day at a time that is defined at the installation of a A1353-RAinstance. For more information, see [ACIE-gene].

Pre-conditions:None.

Inputs:

− Export session mode: either automatic or on-demand

− For a full AMERIE session:In an internal temporary directory:

− A temporary file is created with the AMERIE sub-header.− For each unitary AMERIE file in the ARIE_MFSexport directory, the Remote

Inventory data of each line are converted as one line appended to thetemporary file according to the new format and structure for full AMERIE files(see above).

− Then the header is added to the temporary file.When this is completed, the temporary file is copied to the ARIE directory as thedefinitive full AMERIE file.

− For a full ABSRIE session:In an internal temporary directory:

− A temporary file is created with the ABSRIE sub-header.

− For each unitary ABSRIE file in the ARIE_BSS<BSCId >export directory, theRemote Inventory data of each line are converted as one line appended to thetemporary file according to the new format and structure for full ABSRIE file(see above).

− Then the header is added to the temporary file.
