Procedure: Migrating historical FAS data from 2.7.1 (or earlier) to 2.8.1 (or later):
In 2.8.1 (or later) FAS data is stored in a new interference episodes format. This new data format is used to populate the
new FAS dashboard and other FAS views. The episodeGenerator.bat script tool is available to migrate historical FAS
data (retained in the database) to the new format.
The tool stops the Provision Plus service, creates the new episodes data, and then restarts Provision Plus.
Steps to run the tool :
1. Install new release of PV+ (e.g. PROVISION-PLUS-SETUP-2.8.1-b198-prod.exe build).
2. After installation and Provision Plus is running, the “episodeGenerator.bat” can be found in the
‘c:\data\backup’ folder.
3. Right click on “episodeGenerator.bat” file and select “Run as administrator”.
4. On completion, login to PV+ and verify the data is presented in the FAS Dashboard.

Product Licensing

Product Modules
ProVision Plus is licensed as a set of Product Modules, intended to be mixed and matched to the
specific requirements of a customer.
Please note that the usage of certain Product Module requires the licensing of one or more pre-
requisite Product Modules. In other words, to license the said Product Module the customer must
also license all pre-requisite Product Modules.

Product Prerequisite Requires Supported Description

Availability standby redundant server capability.

Technology License and Device Licenses

To use a Product Module, the customer needs to purchase:


• Technology License for the said Product Module.
• An appropriate number of Device Licences of the appropriate Device Class for the said
Product Module, if the said Product Module requires Device License.

A Technology License for a Product Module entitles a customer to install the associated software
on a reasonable number of servers. The customer may choose to install the software on more
than one server in order to reduce the server load. Conceptually a Technology License is similar
to a server license but without the restriction of a single server.
For a Product Module that requires Device Licenses, for each device to be managed by the
Product Module, a Device License for the Device Class to which the said device belongs is
required. The Device Classes are defined in “Device Class”.

Please note that 100% coverage is required for Device Licenses. For example, for a given
Product Module if the network is calculated as requiring 20 WTM 4000 Device Licenses and 10
CTR 8740 Device Licenses according to “Rules regarding Device License”, then the customers
must have at least 20 WTM 4000 Device Licenses and 10 CTR 8740 Device Licenses for said
Product Module assigned to the ProVision Plus server managing the network.

Device Class
The following Device Classes are defined:

Device Class Type of devices in the Device Classes


WTM 4000 WTM 4100, 4200, 4200 MIMO,
4500, 4500T, 4500XT,

System Requirements
This section identifies the system requirements for installing and operating ProVision Plus,
including the following:
• Minimum hardware requirements
• Supported Operating Systems and versions
• Supported web browsers and versions
• Minimum monitor resolution for ProVision Plus clients

Hardware Requirements for Server

Standalone ProVision Plus Server


The following table presents the minimum hardware specification for the ProVision Plus server
application for both physical server and VM installation, for a given sized network of devices
managed using a specific Product Module. For clarity, the Notes column indicates the device
types supported by each Product Module.
When installed on the same physical server or VM as ProVision EMS, these hardware
requirements are additional to those of ProVision EMS.

Discovery TBD Slow discovery of changes to WTM 4000 currently doesn’t provide a notification when
WTM 4000 device configuration there’s a change to the device configuration. CTR 8740

This results in a significant delay in discovery until PV+
performs the next background configuration collection poll
(every 1 hour) from the network devices.
Workaround: Wait for the next PV+ poll, or manually initiate
configuration discovery from the PV+ user interface.
It’s proposed that future release of WTM software provide
this notification capability.
