Software Increment Release Notes ================================ Increment ID: I10A1960 Release: AN1960 Date created: 2-28-2006 Increment Type: OPC Title: OPC: NMA secu, Prov Mgr, Ring delete, INM ConnMgr, EXT DST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This Increment addresses the following issues. See below for more details. 1. tl1shell NMA ent-user-secu not working 2. Connection and Provisioning Managers not opening. 3. Deleting a node from a ring without OPC association fails. 4. INM Connection Manager fails to open - large number of connections. 5. Changes to Daylight Savings Time. 6. INM fails to display all connections in Connection Manager. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. tl1shell NMA ent-user-secu not working * Description: Adding a user via TL1 using the tl1shell nma ent-user-secu command fails to properly add the password and keyboard idle timeout period values to the newly created ID. This results in the inability to use the newly created ID. * Pre-Increment Impact and work-around: The OPC Central User Admin tool is required to fix the password and keyboard idle timeout period values. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Connection and Provisioning Managers not opening. * Description: The Provisioning Manager fails to open at times. This increment fixes all the known causes for the tools not opening properly. * Pre-Increment Impact and work-around: Prior to this increment, the Provisioning Manager may fail to open. Direct TL1 commands can be used to provision facilities, DS0 services and manage cross-connects in AN1960. Refer to document 830-00381-02 for the TL1 users guide. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Deleting a node from a ring without OPC association fails. * Description: Customers who desire to delete a node from a ring and who do not follow the procedures described in CAP 98-9 will encounter problems if the node is physically removed from the ring (and thereby dropping association) before it is deleted from the ring configuration manager. Should this occur, the user will not be able to delete the node from the OPC's span of control. This increment introduces a new tool that will allow for node deletion from a ring when the node in question does not have association with the OPC. * Pre-Increment Impact and work-around: Follow CAP 98-9 when removing a node from a ring. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. INM Connection Manager fails to open - large number of connections. * Description: The INM Connection Manager would fail to open once a significant number of connections were added. This change allows the INM Connection Manager to open with more connections. Contact GSS for fine tuning these changes if problems are still encountered after applying this increment. * Pre-Increment Impact and work-around: Connections would not be able to be queried, deleted, or added from the INM Connection Manager. OPC Connection Manager can be used to perform these actions on the local OPC. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Changes to Daylight Savings Time. * Description: This increment updates the information used to track the time of day changes in regards to Daylight Savings Time as directed by congress with the passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. * Pre-Increment Impact and work-around: Failure to apply this increment will cause the OPC and Network Elements to continue to alter Daylight Savings Time in accordance with the Uniform Time Act of 1966. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. INM fails to display all connections in Connection Manager. Description: This increment resolves an issue where Preside (INM, ONM) would not display all of the connections in the Connection Manager on ring nodes. For the first STS assigned, any traffic routed through the group/channel assignments of 2,4 3,1 3,2 3,3 3,4 would not display. If a connection was attempted to be made on these ports, Preside would validate the connections, but then fails to write them and reports the following error: "The connection was unable to be provisioned because of unavailable trib, channel, route, connection service or unsupported configuration or the OPC connection service has been disabled" * Pre-Increment Impact and work-around: Do not use the group/channel assignments noted above. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Increments Needed: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Increments I01A1960 through I09A1960 need to be successfully applied prior to application of this increment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Loads Affected: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- After successful application of this increment, the OPC load will be: ACNL19KH ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Instructions: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- None. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation Instructions: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Please refer to the Incremental Software Delivery Users Guide for general installation instructions.
