Q3ADE 3G R. 508c2 is officially released

August  2010

The Q3ADE 3G R. 508c2 is now available for download.

UH Communications A/S (UHC) hereby officially releases the version 5.08c2 of Q3ADE 3G, a versatile element and network management platform including advanced integrated alarm management and incident/trouble ticket management.

Amongst a long list of improvements, this release includes the following:

The CISCO equipment monitor

The new CISCO equipment monitor enables access to the SNMP agent in CISCO equipment supporting a number of CISCO specific information models. It provides access to the CLI interface of CISCO equipment. You may invoke standard CLI commands or enter your own. It also transforms standard CISCO event log traps into Q3 Alarms.

The Alvarion/BreezeAccess monitor

This Alvarion/BreezeAccess monitor enables access to the SNMP agent of various equipment from Alvarion (www.alvarion.com).

Automatic Alarm pre-processing by Incidents

The integration between the Incident Manager component (IMGR) and the Alarm Manager (AMF) has been further improved. From an incident record, you may now suppress the generation of alarms from a specific set of alarm sources for a specific period of time or as long as the incident is open. You may for example suppress irrelevant alarms during a repair activity. You may even raise an incident in advance before a planned repair activity and have it suppress the alarm generation from the affected equipment(s) for a specific period of time.

Integrated Database Mirror Function

The Q3ADE 3G server manages its own object oriented database. To be able to perform fast crash recovery, the dabase manager has now been extended with a database mirror function, which may be configured to maintain one or more consistent copies of the database on a local file system or a remote file server. The mirroring is performed on-the-fly, which means you do not have to shutdown the Q3ADE 3G server to obtain a consistent database image.

Automatic archiving of alarms

 To maintain a reasonable performace, you should remove old alarms from the system if the alarm log contains in the excess of 100.000 alarms. A new function, the AMF Archiver, has been added, which performs automatic archiving of old alarms to a file in ASCII format. This function enables automatic archiving of the alarms according to various criterias. You do not have to shutdown the Q3ADE 3G server to perform the archiving process.
