Create PM Collection Job
Purpose
The PM Collection Job Wizard allows the user to create new PM collection job and to modify or duplicate an existing PM collection job.
The wizard has two types of panels: Job Properties and Selection Panel.
The Job Properties panel allows the user to define the Job Name, Statistics, and to activate the Job.The Selection Panel allows the user to specify the PM data collection point(s), which depends on the selected NE and Unit. In general, for FOX61x NEs, the collection point can be on the level: NMS, Network Elements, Units or Ports.
Please note:
Only select NEs of the same product family when creating a PM collection job. Do not mix NE types like e.g. FOX61x and FOX51x in one job since such mixed jobs will not be saved and applied correctly.
The PM collection process is shown in the diagram below.
Please note:
In the PM collection process diagram below, steps 5 and N are applicable only to NEs of type FOX51x. For NEs of type FOX61x, only steps 1 to 4 are available.
