B Enabling RTDBLSMS Audit on ELAP

Appendix B describes how to enable an RTDBLSMS audit on the ELAP when it has been disabled. An RTDBLSMS audit cannot be performed unless the ELAP has this setting enabled.

Introduction

Under normal conditions, an audit does not require any operator action at the network element. However, it is possible for the NE operator to disable the ability to process an audit. This is sometimes necessary when the NE operator is trying to debug a problem. If the NE operator has disabled the ability to process an audit, the LSMS will receive a rejection that is posted on the GUI as the following error message:

 Connection already in use or operation not enabled at NE '<IP address>'

If this message occurs, request that the network element perform Enabling an RTDBLSMS Audit.

Enabling an RTDBLSMS Audit

If the LSMS operator requests that the NE operator enable an RTDBLSMS audit, perform the following procedure:

  1. Log in to the ELAP GUI with the name and password of any user who is authorized to use the Maintenance menu items (for more information about connecting to the ELAP GUI and user authorization, refer to Administration and LNP Feature Activation Guide for ELAP).
    The ELAP Main Menu displays, as shown in enabling-rtdb-audit-elap1.html#GUID-63527C77-5838-4399-8849-EAD35B90317B__V2355287.

    If the ELAP that you logged into is not Active, and the other ELAP is active, select Select Mate from the main menu. (If both ELAPs are Standby, correct the situation preventing one ELAP from taking the active role, and repeat this step.)
  2. Select Maintenance, and then RTDB Audit, and then Change Enabled.
    The window shown in Figure B-2 displays.

  3. If the Information field indicates that the RTDBLSMS HS Audit for this ELAP is currently Disabled (as shown in Figure B-2), click the Enable RTDBLSMS HS Audit button.
    (If the Information field indicates that the RTDBLSMS HS Audit for this ELAP is Enabled, the ELAP is already prepared for the audit.)
    You have now completed this procedure.
