It is recommended that once each day you perform the following:
Examine logs for abnormalities. For more information, see Daily Examination of Logs for Abnormalities.
Determine the success or failure of the database and file system backups by examining the backup log (/var/TKLC/log/backup/backup.log) and the surveillance log (/var/TKLC/lsms/logs/survlog.log). For more information, see Daily Determination of Success or Failure of Backup.
Examine the following logs for any abnormalities once a day, preferably near the end of the day. In each of these logs, <MMDD> indicates the month and day. Each log is kept for seven days. For more information about these logs, refer to the Database Administrator's Guide. You can view the logs using the GUI or you can use any text editor.
Examine the following exception log files:
Run the chkfilter command and then examine /var/TKLC/lsms/logs/trace/LsmsSubNotFwd.log.<MMDD>. This log contains subscription versions (SVs) or number pool blocks (NPBs) that have been received from an NPAC but could not be forwarded to a network element because the LSMS has no EMS routing defined for the SVs or NPBs.
/var/TKLC/lsms/logs/<clli>/LsmsRejected.log.<MMDD>. This log contains transactions that the LSMS attempted to forward to a network element, but which were rejected by the network element.
Examine the following alarm logs to verify that you are aware of all alarms (these events will also have been reported in the GUI notifications display).
/var/TKLC/lsms/logs/alarm/LsmsAlarm.log.<MMDD>. This log contains events associated with the Local Data Manager, the Local Services Manager and regional NPAC agent processes.
Examine the following transaction logs for any abnormalities:
/var/TKLC/lsms/logs/<clli>/LsmsTrans.log.<MMDD> for each network element identified by <clli>. These logs contain all transactions forwarded to EMS agents, including information associated with M-Create, M-Set, and M-Delete operations initiated from the NPAC.
Examine the Surveillance log /var/TKLC/lsms/logs/survlog.log for any abnormalities. This log contains all surveillance notifications that have been posted.
Each day, check the backup log from the previous day on each server (as you can see from the timestamps in Figure 1 and Figure 2, backups generally begin a few minutes before midnight). Ensure that the backup logs contain text similar to that shown in the referenced figures. If you need help interpreting the logs, contact the My Oracle Support (MOS).
If you determine that the automatic backup(s) did not complete successfully, perform a manual backup right away.
