Data Buffering and Access (DBA)
Access DBA
The OTM Data Buffering and Access (DBA) application provides a Windows interface
to start a live data buffering session and define the session properties for collecting data
from a CS 1000 and Meridian 1 system. A network or PPP connection allows collection
of CDR and Traffic data. A serial connection allows collection of ASCII data only.
With a PPP or network connection, you can perform the following tasks:
Schedule a single or routine backup of your system’s database files.
Schedule the retrieval of buffered CDR and Traffic data from a system.
View collected CDR and Traffic data.
Back up and restore a system’s database to and from a remote device for database
recovery.
If you lose a connection or have connection problems during a live data session, the
system saves the CDR and Traffic data. You can retrieve the data when the connection
is restored.
A serial connection does not support the DBA Backup and Restore functions. With a
serial connection, you can perform the following tasks:
Set up the actions and rules for generating alarms.
View collected serial data.
If you lose a connection or have connection problems during a live serial data session,
data is lost.
Use the DBA application to schedule the following tasks:
Archive CDR and Traffic from the system.
Perform a Database Disaster Recovery (backup only).
To access DBA:
From the Utilities menu in the OTM Navigator window, select Data Buffering and
Access.
