Classification of Logs
Classification of logs: According to the content recorded in

log files, logs are divided into Running Log, Debug Log, and Operation Log

Debug Log: A debug log records the software status that cannot be observed during system running, for example, object state migration and exceptional message records. R&D engineers can analyze the debug log to locate problems and understand the system running efficiency
Debug logs include: Common/extended/unknown debug log, BTS log, cell frequency point scanning log, LastWords, TC log, CHR log, and Dopra error log
Page 7

Classification of Logs
Running Log: A running log records the software running status that can be observed, for example, system starting and system status changing. Through running logs, system maintenance engineers can understand the running status of the system
Operation Log: An operation log records the command information delivered by the user through the operation and maintenance terminal so that maintenance engineers can manage the operation and maintenance records of the system.

Log Files
Generation of log files

The system periodically accesses the log information in the buffer area and records the log information in log files. Different types of logs have buffer areas of different sizes If logs in a buffer area occupy over 80% space of the buffer area, log management will save the content in the buffer area into log files

Page 9

Naming Log Files

Naming log files: Log files are named in the format of

YYMMDD_HHMMSS_NNNN.***log

YY, MM, DD, HH, MM, and SS respectively represent the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second when a file is created NNNN is a serial number of files that are created at the same time. The serial number starts from 0000 ***log is the suffix of a file name. *** is the name of the folder where the file is and represents the file type. For example the suffix of a

debug file is dbglog

Example: The first operation log that is created at 10:23:38 a.m. on 2005-09-18 is

named 20050918_102338_0000.oprlog

Maintain BSC Logs

BSC logs: BSC logs are saved in the server of GOMU. Operators

need upload BSC logs into the local maintenance terminal or designated server so that the BSC logs can be obtained and queried in future
The operations of maintain BSC logs include:

Query operation logs online Upload BSC log files Maintain CS CHR

Maintain PS CHR
Set BSC log parameter

Page 12

Query Operation Logs Online

Operation steps: Choose BSC Maintenance > Maintain Logs >

Query Operation Logs Online

Page 13

Upload BSC log files

Introduction: The function is used to upload the needed log

files onto LMT, query the log file information in the GOMU database, and forcefully save log files, so that operators can obtain related log files at any time

Maintain CS CHR
Introduction: The function is used to maintain and Call History

Record (CHR) objects. If the filter conditions are set, related CHR files can be obtained
Operation steps: Choose BSC Maintenance > Maintain Logs >

Set BSC log parameter

Introduction: The function is used to query and set the automatic

uploading parameters and file saving parameters of BSC logs so that operators can obtain the needed log files
Operation steps: Choose BSC Maintenance > Maintain Logs > Set BSC

log parameter

Page 22

Set BSC log parameter

Total size of the log files: It means the

maximum space occupied by a type of logs. The input value should be not bigger than the following static

configured value: Running Log is 30M;

Operation Log is 30M; Debug Log is 1000M

Page 23

Set BSC log parameter

Maximum size of the single log file: It should be not bigger than

the total size of the type of log file

Maximum time span of the log file: It means the number of

days for which a log is saved. In BSC6000, the parameter for all types of logs ranges from 30 to 90

BTS Work Log

The BSC6000 provides three ways to get BTS logs

Get BTS log to the GOMU

The BSC extracts BTS logs and saves them in the GOMU. You can obtain these logs through FTP, and then these logs saved in the BTS are deleted

Get compressed BTS log

You can download the compressed BTS logs to the local PC and view them

Browsing BTS log

You can browse the BTS logs on the LMT
If BTS log are extracted to GOMU and then get from GOMU, logs in BTS will be

automatically deleted after being extracted. If other modes are used to get logs, logs remain in BTS after being obtained
