G3 Management Applications Reports and Data
Acquisition Utilities
Through the G3-Management Applications, which run on UNIXWARE-based per-
sonal computers, DEFINITY ECS supports reporting and data acquisition not
available through the switch-based reports. This supports the consolidati on and
formatting functions that large organizations need. When excess data surpas s a
multiple-screen display capability, the ranging, sorting, and filtering capability
provided by standard report-generation programs allows to restrict reports to
only the desired data. The data acquisition feature supports two capabilitie s:
■The ability to collect data from the switch via the operation support syste m
interface
■The ability to use personal computer-based software, such as standard
database programs or report-generation packages, to create custom
reports from G3-Management Applications
For the G3-Management Applications reporting capability, data from se lected
switch-based reports is accessible on the G3-Manageme nt Applications in stan-
dard personal computer file format (such as ASCII G3-Management Applica-
tions). G3-Management Applications reporting allows you to do the foll owing:
■Create files of switch data on the personal computer in a format
compatible with available report-generation programs, such as Informix.
■Substitute the DEFINITY ECS-generated field headers with
customer-defined headers
■Administer the file format, including which character to use as a field
separator (space, comma, etc.) and which characters to use as a field
value delimiter (quotes, no character, etc.)
ECS Reports Generator
The ECS Reports Generator is an easy to use, graphical reporting tool t hat does
the following:
■Maintains a location database of all the systems manage d (in addition to
the DEFINITY ECS, it supports Lucent Technologies System 75, G1 and
G3 systems)
■Provides automated connections via pre-defined scripts to the various
systems
