Description

How to Upload Multi-NE Log Files

technical field

The invention relates to network management and maintenance, in particular to a method for simultaneously uploading multiple network element log files to an operation and maintenance center.

Background technique

In the network system, such as WCDMA, the centralized operation and maintenance center or network management can manage the network elements under its jurisdiction, such as NodeB (base station), RNC (radio network controller), SGSN (serving GPRS support node), GGSN (gateway GPRS support node) , HLR (Home Location Register), etc. An important means of maintenance management includes uploading maintenance log files and operation log files of network elements. On the one hand, these log files can be used to locate network element faults, and on the other hand, they can provide basic data for equipment manufacturers to analyze and design reliability of products. Among them, the maintenance log file records the operation performed by the user on the network element, and the operation log file is generally used to record the operation status of the network element.

Taking NodeB as an example, each NodeB managed by the centralized operation and maintenance center has a unique IP address, and communicates with NodeB through IPOA (Internet Protocols over ATM, ATM carries IP protocol). When uploading a NodeB log file in the prior art, the name of the log file (ie, the file name) is fixed. For example, the maintenance log file is called oplog.txt, and the operation log file is called runlog.txt. In the centralized operation and maintenance center, the log files of each NodeB can be uploaded sequentially through MML (man-machine interface language) commands. The MML command needs to specify the target folder for storing log files in the FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server of the operation and maintenance center, the IP address of the FTP server, the login user name and password. Examples of MML commands are as follows:

ULD FILE: DSTF="D:\NodeB Files\", IP="10.161.73.53", USR="admin", PWD="admin";

This MML command uploads the log files of NodeB to the D:\NodeBFiles\ folder of FTP 10.161.73.53, and the file names are oplog.txt, runlog.txt, etc. The file structure is as follows:

Disadvantages of existing technology:

Since the uploaded file name is fixed (oplog.txt/runlog.txt/..), an MML command can only specify one target folder. Therefore, when the same MML command is issued to all NodeBs, the log files of all NodeBs will be uploaded to the same folder with the same file name, which will cause conflicts in writing files. Therefore, at most one NodeB log file can be uploaded successfully.

In the prior art, if the log files of multiple NodeBs need to be uploaded, the user needs to operate each base station separately. There are hundreds of NodeBs managed in the actual network, so this method of uploading log files requires user intervention, which is cumbersome, time-consuming, and error-prone.

Contents of the invention

The invention provides a method for uploading multi-network element log files to solve the problem in the prior art that network element log files cannot be automatically uploaded in batches to the operation and maintenance center.

A method for uploading multi-network element log files provided by the present invention includes:

A. The operation and maintenance center issues log file upload commands to multiple network elements;

B. The network element stores the local log file with a specified file name different from other network element log files, and uploads it to the operation and maintenance center.

According to the above method of the present invention, it also includes the step of sending the network element to the operation and maintenance center to upload the success or failure message of the log file.

As described in step B, the log file is stored with the specified file name. The specific method is: the network element modifies the existing file name of the local log file to the specified file name.

As described in step B, the log file is stored with a specified file name. The specific method is: the network element copies the local log file and stores it in a temporary file named with the specified file name.

The temporary file and the local log file are located in the same storage directory.

According to the above method of the present invention, it also includes the step of starting a timer while uploading the log file;

When the log file is successfully uploaded or the timer expires, the temporary file is deleted.

The specified file name is the existing file name of the local log file of the network element plus the current IP address information of the network element.

The specified file name is the existing file name of the local log file of the network element plus the name information of the network element.

The log file upload command is an MML command.

The present invention also provides a method for uploading multi-network element log files, including:

a. The operation and maintenance center issues upload commands including log file storage paths and different designated target folders to multiple network elements;

b. According to the received upload command, the network element uploads the locally saved log file to the designated target folder of the operation and maintenance center.

The upload command including different designated target folders is automatically decomposed and generated by the operation and maintenance center according to an upload command input by the user including the storage path of the log file.

The name of the specified target folder is the current IP address information or network element name of the network element

The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

1. By adopting the method of the present invention, automatic batch uploading of network element log files to the operation and maintenance center can be realized;

2. With the method of the present invention, the user only needs to issue one log file upload command once, which can significantly reduce the maintenance workload of the user;

3. The method of the present invention applies the IP address information or the name information of the network element to the file name of the log file, and simply and effectively distinguishes the log files of each network element.

Detailed ways

Taking the log file uploaded by the base station as an example, the method of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Referring to Fig. 1, it is a log file upload flow chart of Embodiment 1 of the present invention, including the following steps:

Step S11, the user starts the process of uploading log files in the operation and maintenance center;

Step S12, the operation and maintenance center sends a log file upload command to multiple base stations under its jurisdiction at the same time; an MML command is sent as follows, in the MML command, specify the IP address, server The storage path and target folder, login user name and password and other information in the

Step S13, after the base station receives the command to upload the log file, rename the log file stored locally; if the original log file name is oplog.txt, runlog.txt, etc., modify it to a specified file name that is different from other base stations ; The specific file name designation rules can adopt the method of "current IP address of the base station + space + original log file name", or "base station name + space + original log file name"; the purpose of modifying the log file name is to ensure The log files uploaded to the operation and maintenance center do not have duplicate names;

Step S14, the base station uploads the renamed log file to the target folder specified by the operation and maintenance center; during the log file upload process, multiple base stations can upload independently at the same time;

Step S15, the base station judges whether the log file is uploaded successfully, if so, execute step S16; otherwise, execute step S17;

Step S16, the base station sends a log file upload success message to the operation and maintenance center;

Step S17, the base station sends a log file upload failure message to the operation and maintenance center;

Step S18, the operation and maintenance center displays information about the success or failure of uploading of each base station through the window interface, so as to facilitate the user to grasp the specific status of each base station's uploaded log files and analyze and process them;

Step S19, ending the process of uploading the log file this time.

Referring to Fig. 2, it is a flow chart of log file uploading in Embodiment 2 of the present invention, including the following steps:

Step S21, the user starts the process of uploading log files in the operation and maintenance center;

Step S22, the operation and maintenance center issues a log file upload command to multiple base stations under its jurisdiction; an example of the MML command is as follows:

ULD FILE: DSTF="D:\NodeB Files\", IP="10.161.73.53", USR="admin", PWD="admin";

This MML command will indicate to upload the log file of the base station to the D:\NodeB Files\ folder of FTP 10.161.73.53;

Step S23, the base station copies the log file (generally stored in FLASH or base station memory) stored locally to a temporary file with a specified file name, the temporary file can be in the same storage directory as the original log file, and the naming rule of the specified file name You can use the method of "the current IP address of the base station + a space + the original log file name". For example, if the IP address of a NodeB is 12.13.15.32, the temporary files are named "12.13.15.32 oplog.txt", "12.13.15.32 runlog. txt" and so on; if the IP address of another NodeB is 12.13.15.42, the temporary file name is "12.13.15.42 oplog.txt", "12.13.15.42runlog.txt", etc.; or the temporary file name is "base station name+space+space+ "Original log file name", if the name of a base station is "NodeB 11", the temporary file name is "NodeB 11 oplog.txt", "NodeB11 runlog.txt", etc.; if the name of another base station is "NodeB 12", then The temporary files are named "NodeB12 oplog.txt", "NodeB 12 runlog.txt", etc.;

Step S24, the base station uploads the temporary file to the operation and maintenance center, and starts a timer; as in the above example, if the IP address of the base station is applied to the temporary file name, the storage structure of the log file uploaded to the operation and maintenance center is as follows:

If the base station name is applied to the temporary file name, the storage structure of the log file uploaded to the operation and maintenance center is as follows:

Step S25, the base station judges whether the log file is uploaded successfully, if so, execute step S26; otherwise, execute step S27;

Step S26, the base station sends a log file upload success message to the operation and maintenance center, and goes to step S29;

Step S27, the base station judges whether the timer is overtime, if so, execute step S28, otherwise, execute step S25 after waiting for a fixed duration;

Step S28, the base station sends a log file upload failure message to the operation and maintenance center, and continues the following steps;

Step S29, closing the timer and deleting the temporary file, so as to prevent the temporary file from occupying the memory of the NodeB and affecting the performance of the base station;

Step S30, ending the process of uploading the log file this time.

Referring to Fig. 3, it is a log file upload flow chart of the third embodiment of the present invention, including the following steps:

Step S31, the user starts the process of uploading log files in the operation and maintenance center;

Step S32, the user enters a log file upload command in the operation and maintenance center, and specifies the storage path of the log file in the server in the upload command, for example: the MML command input by the user is:

ULD FILE: DSTF="D:\NodeBFiles", IP="10.161.73.53", USR="admin", PWD="admin";

Step S33, the operation and maintenance center automatically decomposes the above command into multiple upload commands containing different target folders, and sends them to each base station respectively; for example: there are 3 base stations to be uploaded logs, and their names are respectively NodeB11 and NodeB 12. NodeB 13, the operation and maintenance center converts the user's MML command into three:

1 entry: ULD FILE: DSTF = "D:\NodeB Files\NodeB 11", IP = "10.161.73.53", USR = "admin", PWD = "admin";

2 entries: ULD FILE: DSTF = "D:\NodeB Files\NodeB 12", IP = "10.161.73.53", USR = "admin", PWD = "admin";

3 items: ULD FILE: DSTF = "D:\NodeB Files\NodeB 13", IP = "10.161.73.53", USR = "admin", PWD = "admin";.

The operation and maintenance center sends these three MML commands to NodeB 11, NodeB 12, and NodeB13 base stations respectively;

Step S34, the base station uploads the locally stored log file to the target folder indicated in the command according to the MML command received respectively; according to the method above, the structure of the log file uploaded to the file server of the operation and maintenance center is as follows:

Step S35, the base station judges whether the log file is uploaded successfully, if so, execute step S36; otherwise, execute step S37;

Step S36, the base station sends a log file upload success message to the operation and maintenance center;

Step S37, the base station sends a log file upload failure message to the operation and maintenance center;

Step S38, the operation and maintenance center displays the information of each base station uploading success or failure through the window interface, so as to facilitate the user to grasp the specific status of each base station uploading log file, and analyze and process it;

Step S39, ending the process of uploading the log file this time.

Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalent technologies, the present invention also intends to include these modifications and variations.
