File name formats

This table describes the file name formats for HLR Router import and export files. These variables are used in the file name formats:

File Name Formats
File Type File Name Description
Backup

Backup.<application name>.<hostname>.<groupname> [And<groupname>… [And <groupname>]] .<NodeType>.YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.(AUTO | MAN).tbz2

A BZIP2 compressed tar file (tape archive format). This format can contain a collection of files in each tbz2 file. This file must be unzipped before it can be viewed.
Logs

Logs.<application name>.<server name>.<time_date>.tgz

Log file. This is a g-zipped (GNU zip) tar file (tape archive format). This format can contain a collection of files in each tgz file. This file must be unzipped before it can be viewed.
Measurements

Meas.<application name>.<server name>.<time_date>.csv

Comma-separated value file format used for storing tabular data. Measurement reports can be exported to the file management storage area, and are stored in csv format.
PDBI Export

export_<id>.<datatype>.<yyyymmdd><hhmm>.<format>

PDBI export files are stored locally on the NOAM in the file management storage area. Provisioning data type exported (Scheduled exports only) possible values:
  • all: All data types
  • ne: Network Entities
  • imsi: IMSIs
  • dn: DNs
Export file format possible values:
  • pdbi: (PDBI format)
  • csv: (comma-separated values format)
PDBI Import import_<filename>.pdbi Import file names on the remote server must be prefixed with “import_” and suffixed with “.pdbi” to be automatically downloaded and imported into the EXHR system’s provisioning database.
PDBI Import Log File import_<filename>.pdbi.log An import log file is created for each file that is imported and a copy is automatically uploaded to the same location the import file was downloaded from on the remote server. The log file has the same name as its corresponding import file with “.log” appended.

These might include a procedure to delete files after transferring them to an alternate location using the data export feature. Refer to the Data Export section of the Operations, Administration, and Maintenance Guide.
