4. PREREQUISITES

This section describes the prerequisites required to install OmniVista 4760 server and client

applications.

4.1. Server PC prerequisites

4.1.1. Hardware and software

Minimum hardware requirement:

Notes

Minimum implies a targeted use of the application. The use of the client PC on the server PC must be

minimum, that is to say with a single module opened.

There is no mass processing (more than 100 entries managed in the grid). Otherwise, the

requirements must be modified to take account of the needs associated with the client application.

In all cases, the performance of the OmniVista 4760 client part is better if the client application is

started from a remote PC.

Capacities greater than 30000 users and 400 PCX require Alcatel agreement to check your system

configuration and to help you to generate the license file.

OmniVista 4760


5.2.01.04.c - RELEASE 5.2

TC1599 12 Ed. 02 / 02-21-2012

Windows® 7 and 2008 are not supported for PPP connectivity, SIP Manager, migration from previous

4760 versions ( a database backup of the Omnivista 4760 made on Windows® 2003 or Windows®

XP could not be restored on Windows® 2008 or Windows® 7)and SNMP proxy

For OmniPCX Office, Windows® Vista and 7 are supported from OXO R7.0, and Windows® 2008

from OXO R8.0

2 Ghz CPU and 4 GB RAM are strongly recommended for Windows® 2008 R2 server

Only VMware ESX, operating system installed as Virtual machine is validated, no PPP connection

(only IP), SIP manager not supported, maximum 30000 users, directory replication not supported,

VMware versions supported from 3.5 (VMware itself is not supported by Alcatel-Lucent)

Data Centre and other specific Windows® editions are not validated. Regarding Small business

edition this Windows® edition is packaged as a Windows® Domain Controller: it includes Active

directory server, an LDAP server which prevent OmniVista 4760 default installation.

For any request regarding such validation, you can contact the Alcatel Professional Services.

Processors types are given as examples. The frequency clock is a minimum requirement.

Maximum size of database supported by 4760 is 10 GB or 30 Million of Tickets

For OmniVista 4760 R5.2 Alcatel-Lucent has selected:

- HP PC Compaq pro 6000 from HP

4.1.2. Software and hardware compatibility

The installation on a dedicated Server PC in accordance with the prerequisite allows a correct

operation of the software. If the number of users is lower than 250 and if the Server PC must support

other applications, you should analyze the compatibility, estimate the performance requirements of

other applications and strictly follow the installation/uninstallation procedure. Moreover, the

operation of these other external applications is not supported.

The Security Guide provides a description of parameters to take into account to study compatibility

between an external application and OmniVista 4760 server.

4.1.3. Configuring the Server PC

The space disk requirements and the rules of disks partitioning are described in the Installation

manual.

Here are the essential points.

Hard disk.

A NTFS partition must be set for installing the SunTM

DSEE Server. When installing the server, it is

better to keep the defaults directories and to change only the physical drives.

RAM.

Check that the virtual memory is correctly set; the size of the maximum virtual memory must be

twice the physical RAM. Moreover the disk using the exchange file must have enough free space.

Refer to the technical communication TC0835 Managing the disk and RAM in Release 4.1.

An other JAVA application can use the Classpath environment variable. In that case, the line of

parameters can exceed the limit size and prevent the installation of the server.

The Path environment variable giving the access path to Windows® and to its dll, which will

receive the access path to OmniVista 4760 binary and to Sybase must be valid.

The Path is managed through the System icon of Windows® Control Panel.

OmniVista 4760


5.2.01.04.c - RELEASE 5.2

Ed. 02/ 02-21-2012 17 TC1599

Before installation, you should have only Path = C:\Windows®\system32; C:\Windows®.

If the Path is too long, a blocking can occur during installation.

The Path must not have obsolete path, ;; doubles or \\ doubles.

If there is an error message regarding the Path on installation, change its value and keep

only the access path to the operating system %systemroot% ; %systemroot%\system32.

According to your configuration, it is:

C:\winnt ; C:\winnt\system32 or

C:\Windows® ; C:\Windows®\system32

The name of the computer must not have the following characters ., -, + (dot, dash, plus). You

make sure that the "NetBios name of the computer" is the same as the "name of the computer".

To read the "NetBios name of the computer", click on the button Other from modification

window of the name of the computer.

For the first OmniVista 4760 server installation on a new PC, this one has to be connected to the

IP network. Otherwise the installation would fail during the SunTM

DSEE server installation. The

message in the log file is:

com.iplanet.install.svrutil.wbSvrutil::getHostName: can't determine

host name: java.net.UnknownHostException:

4.2. PCX prerequisites

The compatible OmniPCX 4400 releases depend on the type of PCX Server connection.

The problems related to phase out PCX releases are not fixed (example: the hang-up via STAP is not

available in OmniPCX 4400 Release 3.0).

They are essential to undertake the server installation.

Management data.

They are used to define with the client the information to be completed after installation.

5.2. Company directory

The company directory management is described in the technical communication TCV060 Directory

Management.

5.3. Carrier configuration

The Code book import function is used to automatically import all accounting carrier parameters in

a database from previously created text files.

Refer to Administrator Manual Section 4 – Accounting/Traffic/VoIP, to create these text files in

required formats.

An A4715/A4740 -> A4760 carrier migration tool can be used to retrieve the carrier data of the

same tariff area. This tool operates only from version 4_4.14x of Alcatel 4715/A4740. Its

functioning is described in the technical communication TCV002 Alcatel 4715/4740 carrier data

migration to OmniVista 4760.

An A4755 -> A4760 carrier migration tool can be used to retrieve the carrier data of the same tariff

area. Its functioning is described in the technical communication TCV017 Carrier data migration

CAUTION

Each Code book import must be followed by a cost recalculation. It can be scheduled or run

manually. The recalculation process can take several hours depending on the number of tickets.

There are ten Code book files. Generally, they are located in a directory which has the carrier

name:

Information file : .inf,

Area file : .rgn,

City / Country file : .ccn,

Direction file : .dir,

Tariff file : .trf,

Calendar file : .cal,

Installation file : .itl,

Adjustment file : .adj.

ISDN services file : .fct

Trunk groups file : .trg (starting from R4.2)

The .inf ; .itl ; .dir ; .ccn files must be changed depending on the site.

The .cal file must be completed with local holiday days.

In the .itl file, the node names must be exactly the same as declared in the system directory;

ensure the correct case.

Note

The import never deletes an object. It can only create or update the objects information in the files.

The needed deletion is carried out manually or with the ‘Clean Carrier Configuration’ application in

the scheduler. These cleans are needed to keep the OmniVista 4760 performances.

5.4. Security

The Security Guide provides all useful information to integrate OmniVista 4760 into a secured

company network.

Establish with the client, the access security to manage inside the application:

access security to OmniVista 4760 modules,

access security when configuring the various PCXs.

5.5. Backup mode

Establish with the client:

the backup period,

the backup location on the disk or on the network.

6. INSTALLATION

6.1. Additional installation of an integrated PC in factory

Only Operating System and JRE are factory installed on the PC delivered by Alcatel. Disabling the

On-access scan mechanism can provide a real installation time gain.

6.2. Standard server installation procedure

The complete procedure is described in the Installation Manual.

Before beginning the installation, prepare the Server PC accordingly to section 4

PREREQUISITES.

The installation fails if the operating system is not running in SP1 at least.

Refer to technical communication TC1007-Ed02 OmniVista 4760 Installation /

Uninstallation chapter 6.14.

It is recommended to stop all Antivirus programs. Especially the Etrust software (Computer

Associates) prevents the installation of JRE.

If the PC has Dell Open Management services, close these services and copy the JTC1012.dll

file from 4760\bin directory to c:\Program Files\Dell\openmanage\oldiags\bin directory before

confirming the reboot of the PC when the installation is completed.

If the application has been installed previously and you must restart with an empty database,

refer to Appendix 3.

Main installation steps are given below (for more details refer to Installation Manual):

Preliminaries

Create debug.lock file to prevent rollback under Temp directory:

Default: Document Settings/Administrator/Local Settings/Temp/

This folder is hidden by default in Windows® Explorer:

select from Tools/Folder options/View: Show hidden files and

folder

Unset hide protected operating system files.

To set trace mode installation, after copying 4760 software on hard disk, modify

ServerSetup.ini:

replace 1=/v REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vamus ALLUSERS=2 /Lie

by 1=/vREINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vamus ALLUSERS=2 /L*v

On 4760 Server:

Installation log file on server is in:

Document Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\

Omnivista4760_install.log for Server (if XP or Win2003)

Document Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\

Omnivista4760Client_install.log for Client (if XP or Win2003)

OmniVista 4760


5.2.01.04.c - RELEASE 5.2

Ed. 02/ 02-21-2012 25 TC1599

Client log connections are:

4760\Client\bin\4760Client.log on server

Client4760\bin\4760Client.log on client

To get an extended uninstallation log, launch:

msiexec /uninstall {C3CF0589-B127-4C15-A347-E0DCCBC74E87} /L*v

“%TEMP%\OmniVista4760_uninstall.log”.

By default, on a DVD, data (directories and files) of the version must be located under

the root.

For copying more versions on a same DVD, you should modify the

\Setup\fix_media_source.vbs file to ispecify the actual path:

Example:

“MediaPackage”, “\4760_R5.2.01.03.d\Setup\”.

Then the version must be burnt under the 4760_R5.2.01.04.c directory.

Any error management at this level generates the “Insert Disk 1” message when

installing or updating.

Installation

To install or upgrade a remote server using a Terminal Server or Remote

Desktop connection, it is mandatory to start the session as “console “

(command mstsc.exe /console (Windows® 2003, Windows® XP SP2) or

mstsc.exe /admin (Windows® XP SP3, Windows® Vista)).

Otherwise the operation would fail.

In the installation fails, contact the Technical Support by providing the OmniVista

4760_install.log log.

If an installation fails, refer to the technical communication TC1007 OmniVista 4760

Installation / Uninstallation for a possible “manual” uninstallation.

The registry key is found in the place:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog.

During installation, the setup files are extracted and copied in the %Temp% folder. If the

space in the %Temp% folder is less than required, then it will not copy all the files in the

%Temp% folder. So to make sure that there is enough space in %Temp% folder a check has

been done during installation. The setup will not continue to install if the temp size is less

than 100 MB. The threshold value is maintained at 100 MB to make sure that it has enough

space to keep the extracted files from the setup during installation. The estimation is

calculated from the space occupied by the installation files in the %Temp% folder. This space

checking is only applicable for Server.

3 If the correct Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (1.6.0_11) is not detected, its installation will

start automatically.

4 Indicate the location of the xxyyyzza.sw4760 license file, supplied on diskette or in a

7. UPGRADES

Perform OmniVista 4760 server data backup then a defragmentation before starting upgrade.

7.1. Prerequisites

Close all Windows® opened before starting server upgrade but do not stop

NMC Services.

The installation fails if the operating system is not running in SP1 at least

Stop if necessary the SIP DM Server services.

Temp4760 folder

This folder will be created under the %Temp% folder. During the upgrade it makes a backup of the

data and then uninstalls and reinstalls and finally makes an import of the data backup. So during

the backup operation the Temp4760 folder is used to keep the backup files. It stores the files in ace

format. Currently ten ACE files are stored. The Temp4760 folder is created depending upon the path

given during installation of LDAP, Sybase or 4760.

If the path drive letter for the LDAP is E: then Temp4760 will be created in the path

E:\Temp\Temp4760\.

During the LDAP database backup the Save_Ldapbasesfiles.ace file will be stored in the path

E:\Temp\Temp4760\. If the Sybase is installed in path drive D: then the

Save_ASAdatabasefiles.ace file will be available in the path D:\Temp\Temp4760.

7.2. License file update

1 Close the NMC service manager with the OmniVista 4760 service manager.

2 As soon as the dependent services have all been closed, copy the field of type

xxyyyzza.sw4760 supplied by Actis, renaming it nmc.license after renaming old

nmc.license file (and not nmc.license.txt). Check this name by right clicking

\Properties. Then move this file in the 4760\etc installation directory.

3 Restart NMCService Manager.

4 Check that the licenses have been updated: Help\About menu.

Ed. 02/ 02-21-2012 33 TC1599

7.3. Upgrading the OmniVista 4760 server to version R5.2.01.04.c

The minimum versions susceptible of being upgraded to R5.2 are:

Releases Versions

R5.0 5.0.07.02.b/5.0.07.03.c/5.0.07.05.b

R5.1 5.1.04.00.b

R5.1.1 5.1.06.03.c

R5.2 5.2.01.03.d

These versions are available on the BPWS.

Versions lower than R5.0 cannot be upgraded in R5.2. Actis will propose a license update of the

nmc.license file but this does not allow an upgrade of the server. You need to reinstall a new

application R5.2 or perform an upgrade with an intermediate allowed version.

Procedure for versions before R5.0

Backup parameters (PCX in System Directory, Logins, Directory, Carriers definitions,

accounting tickets).

Reinstall if necessary a new operating system compatible with OmniVista 4760 R5.2.

Install OmniVista 4760 R5.2, then configure OmniVista 4760.

Procedure for versions starting from R5.0

Before the upgrade:

IMPORTANT

Get the directory manager and dba passwords. You should have a license compatible with the

Release R5.2 (version 12 or 13).

Perform a database de-fragmentation.

Save the application data.

The customizing carried out on the various "themes" offered for Web Client will be saved during

the upgrade in the 4760\(web)client\thèmes directory.

The customizing carried out on the welcome page of Web Client is not saved. If necessary, you

should save the modified data of the 4760\webclient (R4.0) or 4760\client (other

releases) directory.

The customizing of the topology is saved during the upgrade. For security, it is possible to first

export the data from the system directory:

Nmc\nmcConfiguration\globalPreferences\topology

The Java RunTime Environment (JRE) will be installed if its version is not correct:

1 It is advisable to stop any On-access scan mechanism. Disabling the On-access scan

mechanism can provide a real installation time gain.

2 Check all OmniVista 4760 services have been started.

3 Launch the server update with the Serversetup.exe command.

4 Specify the location of license file when the system requests it.

OmniVista 4760


5.2.01.04.c - RELEASE 5.2

TC1599 34 Ed. 02 / 02-21-2012

5 Once the upgrade is completed, carry out all the checking jobs of the installation.

6 After any upgrade operation, it is recommended to save 4760 databases using 4760

Maintenance application.

7.4. Installing a corrective patch

The corrective patches are installed automatically at the end of 4760 server update if they are

available in the installation CD-ROM.

To manually install a patch copy the correspondent .ace file in the 4760\Install\Patches folder

and launch the 4760\install\Patchinstaller.exe command.

You can consult the patch installation log in \4760\install\patch_installer.log.

The installed patch list is in \4760\install\patch_history.ini.

7.5. Upgrading the OmniVista 4760 client to version 5.2.01.04.c

When a client PC running an earlier version connects to a server in 5.2.01.04.c, the system proposes

an update from this server. This update is running correctly only from a client version equal or

greater than 3.2.05.00.b. For client version less than 3.2.05.00.b, do not accept the update

procedure otherwise client could not open anymore. Under such circumstance, it is necessary to

uninstall the client and to reinstall it.

If the client is in version lower than R5.1, it is kept. An additional new client in R5.1 is installed in a

directory named Client4760 5.1.

This allows the cohabitation of several versions on a same PC.

A client can also be installed by launching the ClientSetup.exe file.

The rules of cohabitation above will also apply.

7.5.1. Installing the patch

There are no more patches specific "clients".

When connecting a client to server, the version of the nmc50.jar file is checked.

If the client version is below, an upgrade is available when connecting to the server. The upgrade is

carried out automatically.

7.5.2. Disabling the automatic upgrades of JRE

In order to retain the correct version of JRE, you should disable the automatic check of upgrades.

8. OmniPCX OFFICE

Refer to the Technical Communication TCV049 Installation procedure for Release 2.1/3.x for

OmniPCX Office (IP, ppp, Accounting, Alarms, Troubleshooting).

8.1. Writing rights on dedicated OmniPCX Office directories

The management described below has to be applied, not only for the save/restore/download

operations, but also to enter into PCX configuration.

The OmniPCX Office data are saved by default on the 4760 server PC in the directory

4760_ARC/OXO/data. This directory is shared as 4760-databases during 4760 installation (or

4760-PM5 in case of upgrade operation), with read access to everyone.

CAUTION

If the 4760_ARC\OXO\data directory already exists before 4760 server installation (for instance

after uninstalling a previous 4760 server) and has a shared name, this name will not be modified by

4760 R4.1 installation. To use OmniPCX Configuration application from 4760 server, Windows®

directory shared name must be the same as the name defined in OmniVista 4760 System directory

(this name can be configured in /NmcConfiguration GlobalPreferences / Config /

OXOAccess).

The PC administrator has to allow the writing right on the sharing to a local user. Remove "Everyone"

from the list of users. In the sharing management, for the user limit, "Maximum allowed" has to be

validated. A reboot of the PC can be needed to take into account the management.

This local user has to be declared in the 4760 server:

System directory / NmcConfiguration / GlobalPreferences/Config/OXOAccess

The URGALARM user can be used if it’s already created or all other local user with permanent

password.

The software versions to be downloaded to the PCX have to be stored in the directory

4760_ARC/OXO/sw. For security reasons, it is no more required to share this directory.

8.2. OMC

From R4.0, OmniVista 4760 does not support PM5 software. To configure OmniPCX Office

(whatever is the version) through OmniVista 4760, OMC software has to be installed on the server

and client PCs.

OmniPCX Office can be configured from a 4760 client after following the procedure below:

Uninstall PM5 software install on the PC.

Reboot the PC.

Install OMC software 700/xx or OMC 800/xx

Reboot the PC.

Run 4760 client, open Configuration application and launch the "Configure" menu after

selecting an OmniPCX Office: OMC client will be automatically open.

Notes

The same procedure has to be applied on PC hosting 4760 server to perform OmniPCX Office

maintenance operations.

Administrative parameters (mandatory customer information) must be configured on each

OmniPCX Office that we aim to manage from OmniVista 4760.

9. ALCATEL-LUCENT OFFICE (4200)

OmniVista 4760 R4.2 is the last release compatible with Alcatel-Lucent Office

(4200).

OmniVista 4760 R5.2 is no more compatible with Alcatel-Lucent Office (4200).

Ed. 02 / 02-21-2012 3 TC1599

1. INFRASTRUCTURE / INSTALLATION

1.1. TCP ports to be opened

Refer to Installation Manual.

1.2. Installation of MOXA driver

Driver version for Windows® 2000/XP, that is supplied with MOXA box, is not supported:

Plug and play problems.

Not stable.

Use only the 1.5.18 version supplied on folder TOOLS\MOXA of OmniVista 4760 CD-ROM.

1.3. Use of MOXA equipment

It‟s necessary to disable DHCP:

Using Telnet:

Telnet on MOXA IP address.

Config server \ DHCP (disable).

Restart.

Using MOXA menu:

Main menu\network Setting\DHCP (disable).

It is recommended to manage the MOXA IP address in the same sub-network than the server one.

It is not recommended to use more than 3 MOXA boxes.

2. SECURITY

2.1. Password

A unique password is initialized on installation from scratch:

Directory Manager for the SunTM

DSEE manager.

Admin for the SunTM

DSEE administrator.

AdminNMC for the OmniVista 4760 administrator.

DBA for the accounting database access account.

Rules

ASCII characters

Length at least = 8

LDAP constraint: characters not in : ,+"\<>;#&%|^ and <space>

ASA constraint: characters not in !"%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?\^`{|}~ and <space>

OmniVista 4760

APPENDIX 2

RECOMMENDATIONS


5.2.01.04.c - RELEASE 5.2

TC1599 4 Ed. 02 / 02-21-2012

Do not lose this password:

Admin and DBA are needed for the maintenance and the upgrade of server,

Admin and Directory Manager cannot connect to the OmniVista, they are used for advanced

management of the SunTM

DSEE.

Do not use AdminNMC, after installation for standard management of OmniVista 4760. Create

other administrator or manager accounts in order to retain the preferences of the various

administrators and managers and always keep a supervisor account even if the password is lost.

2.2. Rights

To allocate a right to an OmniVista login, select the predefined groups such as Directory Expert,

Network Expert and add members to these groups.

A login can belong to several predefined groups. In this case, these rights correspond to the sum of

rights of each group.

If there is no relevant profile:

allocate the rights individually:

select each application,

add a specific right (read, write, etc.) corresponding to the individual.

3. DIRECTORY

3.1. Implementing the photos

Be careful to disk space needed if you inserting photos in the directory: a 20 KB jpg format photo

takes 70 KB in LDAP (10 000 photos => 700 MB in LDAP base).

3.2. Creating the PCXs

When creating the PCX, you must specify the number of network node. On network 0 node 1, you

must not enter 001 but directly 1 otherwise the Past Time Performance files loading in database no

longer works.

Avoid the used of . (dot) in the name of the Network, Sub-Network and PCX (In some cases it could

be a problem during restoration of archives accounting tickets)

Example to avoid: Name of PCX : Brest.Alcatel

4. CONFIGURATION

4.1. Changing the PCX connection

Make sure to cut all connections in progress to this PCX via OmniVista 4760:

OmniVista 4760


5.2.01.04.c - RELEASE 5.2

APPENDIX 2

RECOMMENDATIONS

Ed. 02 / 02-21-2012 5 TC1599

cut Telnet,

close Configuration,

but above all in the technical directory, deactivate the Alarm Processing.

As soon as the connection has been cut, carry out your modification in the "Connectivity" tab then if

necessary reactivate the alarm processing.

4.2. Free users name in the PCX

It‟s extremely inadvisable to name a great amount of free users in the same way (example:

name=FREE). This rule as well concerns Dect Shells.

It‟s recommended adding an information in the First name field (example: extension number).

To prevent from entry creation for these extensions in the Enterprise Directory, you have to not

validate the Call by name function.

These extensions „s successive allocations / unallocations lead to a lot of inactive sets creation into

the accounting organization.

The cleaning of a great amount of inactive free of ticket entries regularly fails; refer to XTSce15452.

5. ALARMS

5.1. Alarm supervision

If a PCX has to centralize all the network alarms and events, you must correctly manage the nodes

supervised by this PCX in the PCX incident management. Do not set the node to supervise itself.

If the management is incorrect, the alarm server will be saturated by the events sending which

damage the application operation (slow down, close of some services and disk saturation).

At 4760 server level, create this alarm centralizing PCX to do not restore alarms from a PCX still

unknown in 4760. Do not check the box Alarm Review on the PCX monitored otherwise the alarms

will be doubled.

Starting from R2.1, a character "_" is added to the server name, in the "Events Routing discriminator"

created in the OmniPCX 4400 and Enterprise (SERVER_ instead of SERVER). The number of names

being restricted to 16, it is recommended to suppress previous names in the PCX. If a PCX is not able

to create an "Events Routing discriminator" the alarms are not sent to the corresponding server.

6. TOPOLOGY

When the OmniVista 4760 manages a complex PCX network including a lot of inter-nodes links, the

topology display delay can be very long. According to the configuration type, following two solutions

decreases this display time:

a parameter in the Topology application, allows to enable/disable the display of the VPN links:

Preferences\Topology\Configuration\Display VPN links

OmniVista 4760

APPENDIX 2

RECOMMENDATIONS


5.2.01.04.c - RELEASE 5.2

TC1599 6 Ed. 02 / 02-21-2012

a script allows to suppress the display ot the inter-node links to reduce the display delay of the

network. It is included in the TOOL directory of the installation CD.

To launch this script proceed as follows:

edit the delnodelink.bat file and enter your own Directory Manager password,

then launch the script on the Omnivista 4760 server PC.

This modification is lost after every network synchronization. So we have to program an

automatic re-launch job in the scheduler:

make a copy of the script under 4760\bin,

add a new job in the scheduler,

add a new task to launch the delnodelink.bat file.

Before any upgrade operation, caution has to be taken to be able to retrieve the work.

7. ACCOUNTING

7.1. Accounting: Local currency and referenced currency

7.1.1. Management overview

OmniVista 4760 allows the following management:

definition of a referenced currency (Euro for instance),

definition of local currencies (with a conversion rate),

input the carrier tariffs in the local currency or in the referenced currency,

cost calculation will be performed in the referenced currency (after applying a conversion rate, if

necessary),

Predefined reports are generated in the referenced currency only.

7.1.2. Installation of country = Default

At server installation, the selection of country = Default takes into account the country defined in

Regional Settings of Windows® and initializes referenced currency.

7.2. Cost centers different from those of the PCX

This option is only for OmniPCX 4400 and OmniPCX Enterprise Ux and Lx PCXs.

During the installation, you must define the management method of cost centers. If you choose to

dissociate the PCX cost centers from the OmniVista ones, you must manage them in the OmniVista

application. The Cost Center field, in OmniVista, will be completely independent from the cost

center managed on the PCX, there will be no synchronization in either direction.

To force a cost center in the accounting organization:

manage the cost center information in the company directory,

create a cost center directly in the accounting organization; then move the entries in this cost

center.

OmniVista 4760


5.2.01.04.c - RELEASE 5.2

APPENDIX 2

RECOMMENDATIONS

Ed. 02 / 02-21-2012 7 TC1599

The Configuration module will continue to see the PCX cost centers.

7.3. Purging the accounting tickets

By default, the tickets and reports are purged after 3 months (94 days).

Before modifying these parameters, analyze the site to check that the limit of 20 GB of accounting

data (30 millions tickets) will not be exceeded. Then make the modifications:

in the Directory, Technical tab, move to

NMC/PC_Name/servers/PC_Name/NMCDatabase

select the Database tab,

change the CleanTicketAndAffiliatedOldThan attribute.

7.4. Carrier management

7.4.1. Tariff: Managing the period

During management of tariffs, period, only the start time is managed, the application

automatically manages the end time.

Do not forget to create the period which begins at 00H00 and loop back with the 1st

one

managed.

7.4.2. City / Country name: Loss of performance

During normal use, the number of Town / Country must be reduced. This information is in fact used

to identify in the reports the telephone directions frequently used; for example, to identify the

subsidiaries of a company.

It is not used to calculate the cost of telephone calls.

When the number of City / Country names becomes too high (>5000), the coherence check system

slows down the performance during accounting modifications.

Beyond 10000 Cities/Countries, the calculation of cost is impossible.

It is necessary to create areas and directions to optimize the treatment of the cities/countries.

Example

City country Name Region Paris Prefix 0170

Paris 0170 Prefix 0171

Paris 0171 Prefix 0172

Paris 0172

In this example, for the Cities/Countries, the Paris entry appears 3 times whereas by using the

regions and directions, the Paris entry appears only once.

8. REPORT GENERATOR

8.1. Weekly accounting report

CAUTION

The week defined in the report application does not begin on Monday but Sunday at 00h00 AM and

finishes on Saturday at 11h59 PM.

9. SCHEDULER

9.1. Tasks succession order

One„s attention has to be given to the task‟s succession.

The 4760 data backing up must never start when other tasks are running. Actually the saving

operation needs the all services stopping. This may have important bad consequences on

synchronization, tickets loading and cleaning operations.

10. MAINTENANCE

10.1. Rule of partitioning

It is recommended to have only one partition per physical disk and to separate the partition system

from the application. In effect, if a partition seems to be too small, it is impossible to extend it

without being obliged to format and re-install.

Example: put OS on C: on a disc of 80 GB, and the application on D: on a disc of 72 GB.

If the network allows it, it is recommended to use "network" disk as working space to carry out

upgrades, defragmentation data backups. In effect, each of these operations requires for their

working space near the twice Sybase size therefore depending on the cases up to 40 GB.

10.2. Backing up the databases

In case you need to re-install the application, it is possible to use some managed parameters of the

existing OmniVista 4760. To ensure you have as much information as possible on installation, you

must schedule:

the company directory LDIFF export,

the PCX network LDIFF export,

the carrier Code book export.

10.3. Backing up the OmniVista 4760 database

By default, no backup is scheduled. Only closing the server once a week on Sunday at 1 AM is

planned to impose a memory release under Windows®.

The backup stops the services (the server is not available) and compresses the databases in zip

format. To carry out the backup, you must have twice as much space free as the total size of all the

databases.

OmniVista 4760


5.2.01.04.c - RELEASE 5.2

APPENDIX 2

RECOMMENDATIONS

Ed. 02 / 02-21-2012 9 TC1599

You must schedule a backup at least once a week of the OmniVista 4760 data and purge these

backups to avoid the disk saturation.

Refer also to the chapter “Tasks succession order” (Scheduler) to correctly schedule this task.

Note

A backup must be carried out before any important operation on the server (Upgrade, Retrospective

Cost Calculation on the complete database, etc.).

10.4. Defragmentation of the OmniVista 4760 database

It is recommended to schedule a monthly defragmentation of the databases. The defragmentation of

OmniVista 4760 databases allows to optimize the performances of jobs relative to Alarms,

Accounting, Past Time Performance or VoIP applications.

It is also recommended to run a defragmentation before upgrading a version.

CAUTION

This operation stops the services: the server is not available.

On a large database of about 1 GB, allow about 2H30min.

10.5. Backing up / Restoring OmniPCX 4400/Enterprise

10.5.1. Backup

You can schedule periodic backups of OmniPCX Enterprise PCXs.

From OmniVista 4760 R5.0, there is no need to use the swinst PCX tool to setup this operation.

If the download is scheduled at the PCX network level, only the PCXs which have ticked Automatic

database save on the tab Data Collection of the PCX declaration (Technical directory

module) will be backed up.

10.5.2. Restore

The data is restored in two steps:

1 OmniVista 4760 places the backup in a local directory of the PCX disk. The PCX can refuse the

copy if this local directory (\usr4\BACKUP\IMMED) already contains a backup.

2 Use swinst to restore this backup.

1. INFRASTRUCTURE / INSTALLATION

1.1. Reinstalling the server

To reinstall the OmniVista 4760 server application with an empty database on a PC where

OmniVista has already been installed, you must first uninstall the application. The server module

must be uninstalled using a local administrator account.

To uninstall the OmniVista 4760 server:

Close all the OmniVista 4760 client applications. The SNMP and/or Compaq manufacturer

services must not be enabled during the uninstall phases.

Use the Add/Remove programs interface from the Control Panel.

Select the OmniVista 4760 Server program and click on Remove.

The uninstall procedure will take several minutes.

The SunOne Directory server and the SQL Anywhere Studio 9 software will also be removed.

Note

The Java Runtime Environment is not uninstalled.

Restart the computer to complete the uninstallation procedure.

CAUTION

If you cannot access "OmniVista 4760 Server" from Add/Remove programs you should

proceed to a manual uninstallation of various items.

This procedure must be applied when Windows® Installer cannot restore the original state of the

PC after an incident when installing or upgrading.

It must also be applied if the automatic uninstallation fails.

CAUTION

As the registry is involved during this operation, it is recommended to perform before a system

backup for a possible restore later.

From Add/Remove programs, remove if necessary the visible programs (Directory

Server and SQL Anywhere Studio 9 – Software).

Remove the Windows®\system32\productregistry file.

The presence of this file may prevent the re-installation of Sun One LDAP server on the same

path as the previous installation

Copy the PsExec directory from the uninstall tool.zip file available on the DVD of

the version (Tools) to c:\Program Files.

Launch reg_del.bat.

This commands opens the registry editor.

Import the del_regkeys_TS_50.reg file.

Reboot the PC.

Remove the directories where are installed various components of the system: 4760 server,

Sybase, Netscape, SQL database.

Refer to the technical communication TC1007 OmniVista 4760 Installation / Unsinstallation for

additional information about the manual uninstallation.

1.2. Change the IP address

1.2.1. Change procedure

1 Inform the users then stop the NMC Service Manager service.

2 Change the IP address of the server.

3 In the \4760\data\Notify directory, delete all files EXCEPT Notify.cfg.

4 Reboot the server.

1.2.2. Add a new IP address

To prevent having to change the server IP address (example for OmniVista 4760 on an installer's

portable computer), leave the main IP address alone but add a secondary IP address on NT.

Then PCXs can be defined on the sub-network corresponding to this secondary address.

1.3. Change the PC name or the Windows® DNS suffix

This operation is not supported.

In such a case, the workaround consists in recovering the data of the old PC in the following way:

Export/import the PCX Technical data and Company directories,

Export/import the carriers configuration.

Recover the SQL database files in the 4760\data directory to copy them on the new PC after

installing the 4760 in the same version.

1.4. Change the passwords

The passwords of following accounts can be changed:

dba

Admin

Directory Manager

The change is made by using the toolsOmnivista tool available from 4760\bin directory.

Directory Manager password is needed to change account passwords.

For more information, please refer to the technical communication TCV045 How to change

OmniVista 4760 server passwords?.

1.5. Re-assignation of accounting tickets to active entities

The toolsOmnivista tool is used to update the organization of the accounting. It is used to assign

the tickets of inactive entities to the corresponding active entities. Then these inactive entities are

removed.

3. ALARMS - TOPOLOGY

3.1. E-mail server

OmniVista 4760 can send alarms, reports or a accounting monitoring notification to an e-mail

server specifying a local or external e-mail address. Transmission is done via SMTP on the default

port 25.

The sender's name of messages can be customized in the technical directory (nmc\server_name).

To check that the e-mail server can be reached by SMTP on port 25, try to connect via Telnet. On the

server PC, at the DOS command prompt, execute :

Telnet Server_Name_mail 25

If the SMTP port of your e-mail server is not the standard port 25, change it during the Telnet test. If

the test is successful on this port, copy the port number in the OmniVista 4760 application :

run the Directory application then click on the Technical tab,

click on the machine name in the tree structure. In the data area, modify the attribute E-mail

server and set :

E-mail_Server_Name:Port_Number (do not put spaces around the „ : ‟)

For more information, refer to the troubleshooting guide TG0026 Reports.

4.1. Schedule a report export

4.1.1. Restriction

To schedule a report with a file export to a network drive, OmniVista 4760 must be able to use a

Windows® account with certain rights.

If the password is wrong or obsolete, the report will no longer be exported.

4.1.2. Procedure

Use an account with local administrator rights on the OmniVista Server PC. We will suppose that this

account is named ADM4760 and that the Server PC is named PCSERVER.

If the Server PC is installed in a Windows® domain and that the users log in DOMUSER, therefore the

login of this account is DOMUSER\Adm4760.

If the Server PC is installed in a workgroup, the login of this account is PCSERVER \Adm4760.

1 Run a Windows® session as local administrator of the server PC.

2 Define a default printer for "User4760", if necessary.

1. INFRASTRUCTURE

OmniVista 4760 server has been tested and validated for 30.000 users on a VMWare ESX Virtual

Machine.

2. AUDIT

The application handles now "system" actions (linux commands) from OmniPCX Enterprise.

Data is coming from the following files:

\var\log\auth.log

\var\log\shell.log

Note

The Reports application can only generate reports for PCX configuration data (MAO).

3. ALARMS

Some old OmniPCX Enterprise versions keep for a long time some no more valid alarms that were

downloaded at every synchronization.

It is now possible to manage the 4760 server so that it will not save alarms older than x days.

This parameter is common to all the OmniPCX Enterprise.

System Directory\Server_Name\Servers\Server_Name\AlarmServer\specific\

Process Limit for OXE/4400 incidents (days).

The default value -1 means that no filter is applied.

4. DIRECTORY

It is now possible to replicate one or several branches (country, city, company, department) from a

master server to a client one.

The client update needs to be scheduled. It is not done on the fly.

The replication management is accessible from the Company directory (Preferences menu).

1. INFRASTRUCTURE

Support of OmniPCX Enterprise R9.1;

2. DIRECTORY

When creating an OmniPCX Enterprise in System directory, the FTP Username and FTP

Password fields are automatically completed (adfexc/adfexc).

This account will be used to create the /usr4/tmp/ov4760 folder which contains information used

for check of license. This account is only allowed to write in this directory.

If the FTP account is modified, the check of license process fails and generates alarms. If the

problem is not resolved in time, the system can switch to restricted operating. Being informed that

data automatically when creating the PCX, limit the risk of error at this level.

3. AUDIT

The application displays connection information of clients to the server and the access to

Accounting and Reports applications which contain confidential information.

The synchronization of PCXs can be launched from Audit application.

Time/Date stamp of exported files on the server.

The grid of System tab displays by default only the activities containing commands performed

by the PCXs.

The purge of data is based on the date of actions and not depending on the date of entry into

the base.

New columns in System grid: "Process Id" and "Details".

4. REPORTS

Two new predefined Audit reports are available:

Connection of clients to server.

Downloading application of PCX versions:

It is possible to define the starting date and duration of period when the transfers of version are

allowed between OmniVista 4760 to OmniPCX Enterprise. This allows for transfers outside of

working hours.

It is possible to define the maximum number of simultaneous downloads. This is the number of

simultaneous FTP transfers of the version from 4760 to the Masters

Administrator can configure this attribute to make software download job to run in batches for large

PCX networks.

For example, if number of parallel software download attribute value is 10 and there are 200

master PCXs in the network and duration configured is 5 hours, then job will start with 10 master

PCX. Once finished with first 10 PCXs, we will check if it is in the timeframe allowed for the transfer.

If so, it starts the transfer to the 10 following PCX masters. Transfers will continue if necessary until

the end of the period allowed. After this period, if there are transfers to perform the task will be

paused and will be automatically scheduled the next day at the same time.

The "Software Update Status" has been improved.

All the information is now available from a unique window.

Installation

The identifiers of Experts groups must not have accents.

Using a Web administration client on XP SP2 with firewall activated

The default automatic firewall configuration is only performed on standard 4760

client. If you are using the Web applet, you need configure manually the XP firewall

and add the Corba port 30500 to 30509 on the XP client.

Path of installation for Sybase binaries

Do not install Sybase directly on the drive root (D:). In that case, if 4760 is

uninstalled, all data on D: will be removed.

Recommendation

Use C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) default folder to install

Sybase.

Refer to technical communication TCV056 Complete erasing of hard disk following

OmniVista 4760 uninstallation

Sybase software must not be installed in the same directory as OmniVista 4760; the

upgrade of server would fail.

Firefox limitation

If Firefox 1.0 is your default browser, you cannot launch the external application

that use Default Browser setting.

In technical (system) directory, in General tab, under NMC>Application>

External Applications, the default setting of the browser has to be replaced

by:

Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

SP1 installation on Windows® 2003 Server

Some PCs, especially the HP ML370G4, require a Bios and some drivers update

before Windows® 2003 Server SP1 patch installation. Otherwise the update

procedure would fail and the only solution would be to reinstall the operating

system. It's mandatory to have a 4760 data backup on a remote device. Refer to the

technical communication TCV066 Installation of Service Pack 1 for Windows® 2003

over a HP/Compaq ML370 server will end in a definitive crash of the PC and all

data will be lost.

Server Migration

The migration of server is not possible:

A database backup of the Omnivista 4760 made on Windows® 2003 or

Windows® XP could not be restored on Windows® 2008 or Windows® 7.

5. MAINTENANCE

PCX versions before E2.504 (UNIX versions) do not accept the backup commands sent by OmniVista

4760.

For these versions, OmniVista 4760 can only recover the mao-dat and cho-dat files daily created

by the PCX in the /usr4/BACKUP/DAY directory.

The files created by the PCX immediate backup command can no more be recovered by OmniVista

4760 Maintenance application.

A possible backup can be carried out by a "manual" FTP transfer.

Software Download

Starting from OmniPCX Enterprise R9.1, intermediate log files for a software update are managed

differently:

– Before R9.1:

A unique SofwareUpdatestus_X file in the /var/ftp/pcx/logs folder.

(X=context Id)

– Starting from R9.1:

Several files are created in the /tmpd/soft_install folder:

SofwareUpdatestus_X_1 (log for the remote load operation)

SofwareUpdatestus_X_Y (one file per installed client)

In both cases the final SofwareUpdatestus_X_end file is located in the /var/ftp/pcx/logs

folder.

Following this modification, OmniVista 4760 versions before R5.1.06.03.c are no more able to

retrieve intermediate logs during an update for PCX starting from R9.1.

language

Alarms: Diagnosis of the alarms in the OXE language

Audit: content of the logs (object, action) in the OXE language

Reports: export on pdf not supported

For Name/Surname displayed in Arabic on the 8000 & 9000 series phone sets

As of OXE 9.1 latest version, the language can be chosen for each phone set,

from the phone set MMI or from OmniVista 4760 Configuration

The Arabic names are managed in OmniVista 4760 Configuration. Arabic

characters appear from right to left, aligned on the left.

Once a name is set up in Arabic, it is displayed in Arabic on all the OXE

phone sets

Names/surnames in Arabic (UTF8) are not synchronized in the OmniVista

4760 web Directory.

Only the English (non UTF8) names/surnames are synchronized. It

means that, for the web Directory or the Call by name overflow,

names should be created in Arabic and in English as well for the

Directory.

Modification of English names is synchronized between OXE and the

Directory, but modifications in Arabic names should be made on both

sides.
