TRAFFIC

Qualifiers:

DELETE <MMM - dd hh : mm> or D <MMM - dd hh : mm>

FILES or F

PRINT <MMM - dd hh : mm> or P <MMM - dd hh : mm>

STATUS or STA

STOP or STO

Purpose:

Allows traffic measurement on the system.

Details:

Qualifier	Description of the Qualifier
DELETE	Deletes the specified traffic-related files from the mass storage system. The traffic report files are deleted automatically by the system once the total number of reports exceeds the value programmed (up to a maximum of 10). The date-time parameter is required (see description below).
FILES	Lists all the traffic reports currently in mass storage. The file names obtained by this command are used to request printouts of traffic reports through the Traffic Print command. The maximum number of files held is 10.
PRINT	Prints traffic reports from mass storage to a previously assigned printer output port. Ensure that the printer is powered up before attempting to use the Traffic Print command or the traffic report printout may be lost. Should this occur, reissue the command. The date-time parameter is required (see description below).
STATUS	Displays a summary report on the current traffic measurement parameters. Traffic parameters are assigned in the Traffic Report Options form. See below for a description of the STATUS qualifier output parameters.
STOP	Stops the current traffic period data collection and produces a Traffic report for the start of the period to the Traffic Stop time. Traffic data collection will resume at the next active traffic period. The optional <FORMAT> parameter formats a traffic file if the data collection status was ON. The formatting of a traffic report following a TRAFFIC STOP command may take several minutes to complete.

Date-time Parameter

The date-time qualifier <MMM - DD HH : mm> for the PRINT and DELETE qualifiers is the name of a traffic report file obtained through the Traffic Files command. The hour designations (HH : mm) are in 24-hour notation. Spaces are required between each field: MMM space - space DD space HH space : space.

To print/delete more than 1 of the 10 currently held traffic reports, enter an asterisk under any of the four file identification fields: MMM, DD, HH and/or mm. This ensures that any reports having any of the other parameters in common will be deleted/printed. For example:

TRAFFIC DELETE MAR - 15 15 : 00 deletes the traffic file for March 15 at 3:15 P.M.
TRAFFIC PRINT JUN - 24 * : 30 prints all the traffic reports made at the bottom of every hour on June 24.
TRAFFIC PRINT * - 01 07 : * prints all the traffic reports made on the first of each month at 7:00 A.M.
TRAFFIC DELETE * * - * : * deletes all the traffic reports.

STATUS Output Parameters

DATA COLLECTION The current status of traffic data collection (ON or OFF). Indicates whether or not the Performance Monitor is currently monitoring call processing and storing traffic data in its internal buffers.

AUTOPRINT Indicates whether or not the AUTOPRINT feature is on or off.

OUTPUT PORT Indicates to which printer the traffic reports are currently directed. This is controlled by the System Ports form and the Application Logical Ports form.

PROGRAMMED

PERIOD Defines the duration of a period of a traffic measurement session. The duration is either 15, 30, or 60 minutes.

REPORTING UNITS Specifies whether traffic reports are in ERLANGS or CCS.

ACTIVE SESSION Identifies the specific traffic measurement session and the hour at which it started, in a 24 hour period.

DURATION IN

PERIODS Defines the duration of the traffic measurement session in PERIODS.

ACTIVE PERIOD Identifies the specific period of a traffic measurement session which is active at the time the command is entered, and the time at which that period started.

DURATION IN

MINUTES Defines the duration of the active period of traffic measurement, in minutes. Should be the same as the PROGRAMMED PERIOD (15, 30, or 60 minutes).
