DESCRIPTION

cnai is the CNA file interface. Data can be exported from

either a planned or a valid area and imported into a planned

area.

Simple usage scenario:

# cnai export valid -i > myarea.txt

# cnai import myarea -i < myarea.txt

The first line exports all data from the valid area and

stores it in a text file "myarea.txt". "myarea.txt" may then

be modified and later imported into a planned area named

"myarea" (where current user automatically will be prepended

like user:myarea).

An MO name is constructed from its location in the hierar-

chy, for example channel group "1" in internal cell "IC1" in

BSC "B1" is uniquely identified by the name "B1:I1:1".

Neighbour relation MOs are dealt with slightly differently.

differently.

A GSM
GSM cell
cell relation from BSC "B1", internal cell "IC1" to

BSC "B2", internal cell "IC2" is identified by

"B1:IC1:B2:IC2"
"B1:IC1:B2:IC2" and similarly an UTRAN neighbour relation is

identified by "B1:IC1:RNC1:UC1"
"B1:IC1:RNC1:UC1" (UTRAN neighbour relations

are one-way only, with direction GSM->UTRAN).

 

Wildcards may
may be used to select
select multiple MOs in one selection. An "*" is used to denote "all
MOs".

Some examples:

# cnai export valid -i ic=B1:* -- export all internal cells below BSC B1.

# cnai
cnai export
export valid
valid -i chgr=B1:*:* -- export all channel groups
groups below BSC
BSC B1.

# cnai export
export valid -i chgr=B1:*:0
chgr=B1:*:0 -- export channel
channel group 0 below BSC
BSC B1.

Partial wildcards are not supported. Examples of invalid

wildcardss are: *B1:ACELL, B1:*CELL.

wildcard

Wildcards may need to be escaped when typed in a shell.

The selection works bothways, that is during export it filters out which MOs to
transport from a CNA area to the

transport file and during import it filters out which MOs to

transport from the transport file to a CNA area.

All actions taken by cnai are logged to a report file. The

report file contains information

information about all involved MOs and

any transport
transport failures. The report
report file can also be used to

track transport progress for lengthy operations. An easy way

to accomplish this is:

 

# tail -f myreport.txt
