Requesting a remote audit

You can use this task to request a site-wide remote database audit of a specified subset of MSISDN, IMSI, NAI User or Wildcard NAI User data. The request is sent to all nodes and the results are merged back up to SDS. Because each node is responsible for managing its own resources, some nodes might decide to delay or cancel the requested audit in order to maintain sufficient resources to process signaling traffic.

Note:

A valid input file name can be up to 80 characters in length.

1. Select SDS, and then Maintenance, and then Remote Audit.
2. Click Insert located on the bottom of the page.
3. Select the type of data you want included in the audit from the Data Type list.
4. Select Range for Audit By and enter data in the following fields:
   • Start of Range field: Starting address of data to be included in this audit. This must be between 8 and 15 digits for MSISDN or 10-15 for IMSI.
   • End of Range field: Ending address of data to be included in this audit. This is an optional field that, if used, must be between 8 and 15 digits for MSISDN or 10-15 for IMSI.

   Or, select File for Audit By and browse to the file containing ranges of values to be included in this audit.

5. Enter any text about the audit you want to include in the Comment field, if needed.
6. Perform one of these actions.
   • Click OK. If field validations succeed, the database audit request is made. The status of the request can be viewed on the SDS, and then Maintenance, and then Remote Audit page. If the page contains any values that are not valid, or if a required field is empty, an error message appears.
   • Click Cancel to abort changes on this page and return to the previous page.
