Description

How to manage statistical data in the exchange system

The present invention relates to a method for managing statistical data of an exchange system, and in particular, to store, delete and retrieve corresponding statistical data using a workstation that provides a graphical interface function and a DBMS function, and statistical data of the exchange system through a graphical environment. The present invention relates to a method for managing statistical data of an exchange system, so that management of the data can be performed.

In general, in order to obtain statistical data from the exchange system, the operator must input the necessary statistical parameters so that the collection of the statistical data starts from the input point and is provided to the operator through the operator terminal at the time required for output. If the operator did not require statistical data, the statistical data was not collected.

Such a statistical data management structure of the conventional switching system includes an OMP (Operation and Maintenance Processor) 11 that performs an operation and maintenance function of the corresponding switching system 10, as shown in FIG. Or a plurality of MPs (Main Processors; 12-1 to 12-n) for performing relay line management or call processing related switching functions, and the OMP 11 is a statistics input from an operator PC (Personal Computer). According to the result of analyzing the parameters, output the request signals for collecting and transmitting statistical data to each MP 12-1 to 12-n, collecting statistical data on various internally generated events, and collecting each MP (12). -1 ~ 12-n) collect the statistical data transmitted, and then analyze the collected statistical data and provide it to the operator.

Each MP 12-1 to 12-n collects statistical data on various events generated internally according to the collection and transmission request of the statistical data from the OMP 11, and transmits the statistical data to the OMP 11. .

The statistical data management operation in the conventional switching system 10 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. 2 as follows.

First, when an operator of the switching system 10 inputs a statistical parameter for statistical data required by operating an operator PC, that is, a statistical time, a statistical item, an additional item, and the like, the corresponding statistical parameter is set by the operator PC. 11) (step S21). Accordingly, the OMP 11 analyzes the input statistical parameter, generates a statistical data collection request signal for each statistical item according to the analysis result, and applies the result to each MP 12-1 to 12-n to perform statistics. The collection of data is requested (step S22).

Then, each of the MPs 12-1 to 12-n starts collecting statistical data on various events generated internally as the statistical data collection request signal is applied, and simultaneously responds to the corresponding statistical data collection request signal. The signal is applied to the corresponding OMP 11 to indicate that the collection of the statistical data is started (step S23).

On the other hand, the OMP 11 collects statistical data on various events generated internally, checks whether the time counted by itself has reached the statistical data output request time (step S24), and the statistical data output request time. If it is not reached, the flow returns to step S23 to continue collecting the corresponding statistical data. If the statistical data output request time is reached, a statistical data transmission request signal is generated and sent to the respective MPs (12-1 to 12-n). The transfer of the authorized and collected statistical data is requested (step S25).

Accordingly, the MPs 12-1 to 12-n stop collecting the statistical data, and then transmit the statistical data collected so far to the OMP 11 (step S26).

Then, the OMP 11 analyzes and processes the statistical data transmitted from each of the MPs 12-1 to 12-n and the collected statistical data according to the statistical items, and provides them to the operator. Therefore, it outputs to an operator PC, a magnetic tape, or a printer side (step S27).

As described above, in the conventional exchange system 10, statistical data is collected from the OMP 11 and each of the MPs 12-1 to 12-n from the time when the operator inputs the statistical parameters to the time required for the output of the corresponding statistical data. Then, receiving the statistical data collected in each MP (12-1 ~ 12-n) in the OMP (11), by analyzing and processing the received statistical data and their own statistical data, providing the corresponding statistical data to the operator There was no way to check the statistical data that occurred before the requested point of time, and if a fatal error occurs in the corresponding exchange system 10, the statistical data cannot be collected because the statistical data cannot be collected. It was difficult to determine the exact cause of the error that occurred in the switching system 10, and the statistical data collected from each MP 12-1 to 12-n is concentrated in the OMP 11, so the load of the corresponding OMP 11 increases. It became.

In addition, in the past, the OMP 11 provided only the fixed data in order to provide the corresponding statistical data to the operator.In order to check the statistical data output in the past, only some statistical data stored in the memory on the operator PC or the magnetic tape were analyzed. The availability of the statistical data was low because it could be verified, and the program itself of the exchange system had to be changed to provide the output of the statistical data for the new demands of the operator.

As described above, in the conventional exchange system, statistical data is collected at the operator's request, the collected statistical data is analyzed and processed by OMP, and provided to the operator, thereby providing only fixed data. In the past, there was a problem in that the checking function of the output statistical data was inconvenient, which was restricted in the utilization of the corresponding statistical data.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to use a workstation including a graphic interface function for providing a graphical environment and a DBMS function for various and stable storage, retrieval and management of statistical data. By providing a variety of stable statistical data monitoring functions to the exchange system operator and providing graphic outputs, it improves the convenience for managing the state of the exchange system and at the same time provides a graphical interface of the workstation for new needs of the operator. It is to enable simple and various implementation using the function and DBMS function.

Analyzing and processing the received statistical data and storing the statistical data in a database storage area corresponding to each statistical item; The method includes retrieving and storing the stored statistical data for each statistical item according to an operator's request and providing the operator with the graphic screen.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Statistical data management structure of the exchange system according to the present invention, as shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 3, is made by the interworking of the corresponding exchange system 30 and the workstation 40, OMP 31 and a plurality of MP 32-1 to 32-n, statistical data extraction section 41, graphical interface section 42, DBMS 43 and database 44 are provided.

The OMP 31 and each of the MPs 32-1 to 32-n collect statistical data on various internally generated events, and work on the collected statistical data using IPC (Inter Process Communication) at set intervals. The data is transmitted to the statistical data extraction section 41 of the station 40.

The statistical data extracting unit 41 receives data transmitted from the OMP 31 and the respective MPs 32-1 to 32-n of the switching system 30 by using the IPC, and receives statistical data from the received data. Extract and apply to DBMS (43).

The graphic interface unit 42 performs a matching function for providing a graphic output corresponding to various output requests from the operator.

The DBMS 43 analyzes and processes the statistical data applied from the statistical data extracting unit 41 and stores the statistical data in a storage area of the database 44 corresponding to each statistical item, according to an operator's request through the graphic interface unit. In addition to storing, deleting, and retrieving statistical data for each statistical item stored in 44), various outputs in graphic form for checking the status of the corresponding exchange system are provided to the corresponding operator through the graphic interface unit 42. .

The database 44 stores various statistical data for the OMP 31 and the respective MPs 32-1 to 32-n of the switching system 30 for each statistical item.

Referring to the statistical data management operation of the switching system according to the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

First, statistical data about various events occurring internally in the OMP 31 and each of the MPs 32-1 to 32-n are collected, and the collected statistical data is pre-set at a predetermined period, that is, the corresponding exchange system 30. And the statistical data extracting unit 41 of the workstation 40 using the IPC at intervals set through dialogue between the workstation and the workstation 40.

At this time, the statistical data extraction unit 41 of the workstation 40 has a communication function implemented with the switching system 30, which is transmitted from the OMP 31 and the respective MPs 32-1 to 32-n. Various data are received using the IPC, statistical data is extracted from the received data, and applied to the DBMS 43.

Accordingly, the DBMS 43 analyzes and processes the statistical data extracted by the statistical data extracting unit 41 and applied every predetermined period, and stores the data in the database 44, respectively, in a storage area corresponding to each statistical item. Allows the operator to operate the corresponding exchange system 30 in a graphical environment.

In addition, the DBMS 43 maintains the corresponding exchange system 30 through a graphic screen that provides stored statistical data according to the requirements of the operator, that is, to search only the desired contents in a desired form through various menu screens. In this case, the search form by the DBMS 43 performs the desired contents for each statistical item by inputting a start time and an end time, that is, a search time, but the corresponding search time is counted by the workstation 40 itself. If the time is earlier, the desired content is fetched using the statistical data pre-stored for each statistical item in the database 44, and then the extracted statistical data is provided to the operator as a graphic screen through the graphic interface unit 42. If the retrieval time is later than the time counting itself at the workstation 40, statistics from the switching system 30 After storing the statistical data applied through the data extraction unit 41 for each statistical item in the DBMS 43, when the end time is reached, the desired content is retrieved and provided to the operator through a graphic screen.

In addition, the statistical data transmitted from the OMP 31 and the respective MPs 32-1 to 32-n of the switching system 30 at predetermined intervals are stored in the DBMS 43 of the corresponding workstation 40 at intervals determined by the operator. By providing to the operator online via the graphical interface 42, the statistical data monitoring function is periodically provided to the operator.

For example, the statistical data extraction unit of the workstation 40 using IPC to collect all statistical data collected every 5 minutes from the OMP 31 of the switching system 30 and the respective MPs 32-1 to 32-n. When the data is transmitted to the DBMS 43 through the 41, the DBMS 43 transmits statistical data transmitted every 5 minutes to a 5-minute storage area of the database 44 (hereinafter referred to as a '5-minute database'). Save it.

At this time, if the monitoring function of the 5-minute cycle and the daily reporting function is set by the operator, and the daily reporting function is set, the DBMS 43 performs the necessary monitoring function according to the preset monitoring function and daily reporting function. Here, the monitoring function provides a predetermined statistical data at a predetermined cycle to monitor the state of the switching system 30, and the daily reporting function provides the predetermined statistical data at every specific time. This function is used to automatically create a daily view.

Meanwhile, the DBMS 43 uses predetermined statistical data stored in the 5-minute database to perform a 5-minute monitoring function, and the statistics stored in the 5-minute database when the scheduled time comes according to the daily reporting function. The data is summed and stored in the one-hour storage area of the database 44 (hereinafter, referred to as "one-hour database").

In this way, among the statistical data stored in the database 44, the statistical data stored in the 5-minute database is stored for three days, and the statistical data stored in the one-hour database are stored for three circles and then deleted by the corresponding DBMS 43. In addition, 24 hours of data is generated using statistical data stored in the corresponding 1 hour database and reported to the operator through a graphic screen.

As described above, the present invention monitors various and stable statistical data to the operator of the exchange system by using a workstation including a graphic interface function for providing a graphical environment and a DBMS function for storing and retrieving and managing various statistical data. By providing the function and graphic output, it is possible to improve the convenience for managing the state of the switching system. It is also easy to use the workstation's graphic interface function and DBMS function for the new needs of the operator. Various implementations are possible.
