ENIQ 11 Statistics, Report migration workshop LZU1088100 Description You have knowledge about the ENIQ performance management capabilities. You are now acquainted with the operation of ENIQ using product and customer reports, but need further comprehensiveness of this new performance tool. You know ENIQ is an improvement on the previous solutions, in terms of performance and capacity, but you were used to the old ways, with the old reports. You feel some reports are missing, some counter information seems to no be available, and you do not know where to start. ENIQ 11 Statistics, Overview and ENIQ 11 Statistics, Operation courses were aimed at developing your competency in using ENIQ from scratch. This ENIQ Migration Workshop will guide you in the process of mapping your existing reports to ensure all your information is taken into account. It will be based on a migration from SDM to ENIQ as a use case, but will provide you with startegies to perform migrations from other systems. It will also demonstrate some of the most common pitfalls in migrating your reports, in order to retain as much backward compatibility as possible. At this stage the conceptual differences between your previous PM solution and ENIQ will become clearer. This workshop is extremely flexible, and is aimed at resolving real-life issues. Therefore it is even more beneficial if delivered on your equipment. At the end of this course you will be able to migrate yourself reports of low to medium complexity, and you will be able to prepare and monitor the migration of more complex reports if you require Ericsson to take care of them as a service.

Ericsson Network IQ 2 Operation LZU1087729 Description Can you imagine watching digital TV on a black-and-white TV Set, without a remote control to zap between the thousands of chanels? That is the feeling you will have if you do not match the increasing complexity of statistical output of your Network (UTRAN, GRAN, Core, IMS, non-ericsson vendors, etc). You are familiar with Performance Management (PM), you already use reports to better monitor the performance of you network. So you know that the number of counters available is increasing exponentially, and current systems cannot cope with that amount of data. Ericsson Network IQ (ENIQ) is your Ericsson solution to enable you to handle the complexity of your Radio Access and Core Network. It can handle multiple other technologies and multiple different vendors too. It is fully integrated to OSS-RC but it can be used as a standalone solution too. It is as flexible as you need it to be. This course is intended for users who are new to ENIQ, but are familiar with Performance Management. It describes the functionalities of ENIQ, and the main Business Objects operations you will need to carry out. It provides for a lot of practical exercises too.

Ericsson Network IQ 2 Report Migration Workshop LZU1087730 Description You are impressed with the ENIQ performance management. You are now acquainted with the ENIQ Operation using product reports, but sometimes you feel lost with the comprehensiveness of this new Performance Management solution. You know ENIQ is an improvement on the previous solutions, in terms of performance and capacity, but you were used to the old ways, with the old reports. You feel some reports are missing, some information seems to no be available, and you do not know where to start. ENIQ Overview and ENIQ Operation trainings were aimed at developing your competency in using ENIQ from scratch. This ENIQ Migration Workshop will guide you in the process of mapping your existing reports to ensure all your information is taken into account. It will be based on a migration from SDM to ENIQ as a use case, but will provide you with techniques to perform migrations from other systems. It will also demonstrate some of the most common pitfalls in migrating your reports, in order to retain as much backward compatibility as possible. At this stage the conceptual; differences between your previous PM solution and ENIQ will become clearer. Finally it will train you in the use of the Alarm Module, to allow you to raise alarms automatically when certain Performance Management thresholds are reached. At the end of this course you will be able to migrate yourself reports of low to medium complexity, and you will be able to prepare and monitor the migration of more complex reports if you require Ericsson to take care of them as a service. Note: This course does not deal with specific counter values or KPI s interpretation, this is covered in the corresponding PM course. It is not a substitute for Business Objects training if you are involved in developing reports. Learning objectives On completion of this course the participants will be able to: 1 Map SDM report objects to ENIQ objects 1.1 Inventory counter objects from reports 1.2 Identify the BO Universe objects or SQL queries objects 1.3 Trace the Universe back the node level counters 1.4 Ensure the counters are collected from the nodes 1.5 Match the counters back to the ENIQ BO Universes 2 Migrate a simple report 2.1 Agree on complexity criteria 2.2 Identify reports qualifying for migration 2.3 Migrate a Deski (*.rep) report to the Webi format (*.wid)

This course gives an introduction to the various Core Network applications available in OSS-RC 10.3 for the Packet and Circuit Switched domains, covering the core nodes for GSM, WCDMA, SAE and IMS. An introduction is also given to all GSM applications for management of Ericsson BSS. The full suite of tools for managing an Ericsson WRAN/LTE network is also covered in this training. Along with identifying the OSS applications and tools for management of specific technologies there are also a number of common applications that will be described in this training, such as those used for fault and performance management. The course approaches network management proactively, introducing the OSS-RC applications that are used for the following key aspects of network management: Finding the current status of the network, and troubleshooting the network in the event of errors. Identifying trends in the network, prediciting problems and optimising the network as a result. Regular maintanance tasks to keep the network running smoothly at all times. After the course, the participants should have a basic understanding of how to use all the common OSS-RC applications and of how to proceed using the application themselves.
