1.2.2 Color Ranges for a Bar GraphYou can configure multiple colors in a bar graph.

In Traffica Admin Tool, if you have configured multiple colors in a bar graph, you can view these graphs in Traffic Views. You can also configure multiple colors in a bar graph in Traffic Views and save it to the work set. These changes will then be retained in the next login session.

Multiple colors can be configured in a bar graph in the following styles.

• Single - The entire bar color changes when the graph touches specific values that can be configured.

• Multi - Different colors are applied to different sections of the bar.



• Counters without history (data collected from a single or combined TNESs or sepa-rately from multiple TNESs). • Multi set counter. • Multi set relative counter/counter.

1.2.2.1 Bar colors changing at configured counter values (Single)You can configure threshold values at which there is a change in the color of the bars. As the counter value exceeds the configured threshold values, the color of the entire bar changes to reflect the configured colors.

The following table illustrates how you can configure threshold values and colors.

Figure 1 Configured threshold values and colors

In this example, a bar is green from counter values 0 to 20000. When the counter value exceeds 20000, the color of that bar changes to red. When the counter value exceeds 45000, the color of that bar changes to yellow.

Figure 2 Bar colors changing at configured counter values

To apply the Single coloring style to a graph, see Configuring Color Ranges in a Bar Graph (Single)

1.2.2.2 Different colors for different sections of the bar (Multi)You can configure threshold values at which there is a change in the color of the bars. As the counter value exceeds configured threshold values, the color of the correspond-ing section of the bar changes to reflect the configured color.

About Traffic Views

If you convert a graph of one type to another, colors configured for this graph in Traffic Views will be lost after the conversion. Only the colors configured in Traffica Admin Tool will be preserved. You can preserve the colors configured for a graph in Traffic Views by saving it to the Traffic Views Work Set.The Color Ranges option in the Data Colors tab will be disabled for line graphs.

Colors for different TNESs

In the following example, a line graph has been used to represent a single set counter with history, where data is collected from multiple TNESs. Each TNES has been repre-sented by a separate line. The following graph illustrates how you can compare the number of calls that are getting dropped in different TNESs using a line graph.

Figure 5 Line graph representation of a single set counter with history for data col-lected separately from different TNESs.

Colors for different Data Sets

In the following example, a line graph has been used to represent different sets of a multi set counter with history. Each set of the multi set counter is represented by a separate line. The data is collected from a single TNES. The following graph illustrates how you can compare the percentage of success of PDP context activations and PDP context deactivations in a single TNES using a line graph.

In Traffica Admin Tool or Traffic Views, a graph can be set to table format. The graph is displayed as a table in Traffic Views.

In Traffic Views, you can convert graphs of other graph types (for example, bar graphs) to table format.

1.4.1 Single Color in a TableIn Traffic Views or Traffica Admin Tool, you can configure a single color for the table using the Single color option (Graph Properties->Data Colors). If you configure the color of the table with this option, the color does not vary according to the changes in the counter values.

The default color of the Single color option of the table format is white.

g If you configure a color for a table using the Single color option and change the table to another graph type (For example, bar graph), this color is not applied to the table and vice versa. An example of this behavior is given below.

Create a table. The default color of the table is white. Change the color of the table from white to grey using the Single color option. Change the table to a bar graph.

Table (Grey) --> Bar Graph (Default Blue)

The grey color of the table is not applied to the bar graph. So the bar graph has the default color blue.

Now change the color of the bar graph from blue to red using the Single color option. Convert the bar graph to table format.

Bar Graph (Red)-->Table (Grey)

The red color of the bar graph is not applied to the table. The table has a grey color, which you previously configured.

Now convert the table to bar graph.

Table (Grey) --> Bar Graph (Red)

The bar graph has a red color, which you previously configured.

Thus for Single color option, changing the color of the bar graph to red did not affect the color of table. Similarly, changing the color of the table to grey, did not affect the color of the bar graph.

1.4.1.1 CCMA types supporting single color in tableThis feature is available only for graphs of CCMA types with the following properties

• Vectors without history (data collected from combined TNESs or separately from multiple TNESs). • Single set vector. • Single set relative vector/vector. • Single set relative vector/counter.



1.4.2 Table cell colors changing at configured counter values (Single)In Traffic Views or Traffica Admin Tool, you can configure threshold values at which there is a change in the color of a cell of the table (color ranges).

The Multiple Colors option in the Data Colors tab will be disabled for the table format.

You can preserve the colors configured for a table in Traffic Views by saving it to the Traffic Views Work Set.Consider a color ranges table configured with threshold values and colors as shown in the figure below.


When threshold values are configured as shown in the table above, the table is dis-played in Traffic Views as shown below. In the table, a cell of the table is green until counter value 1000. When the counter values exceeds 1000, the color of the cell changes to yellow. When the counter values exceeds 5000, the color of the cell changes

This example illustrates how you can use the table format to compare the values of R.A Updates, PDP Context deactivations, PDP Context activations, Attaches and Detaches in three different TNESs, CUS TS, West Wing TNES and East Wing TNES. The table has been created using a graph of CCMA type multi set counter with history for data col-lected from multiple TNESs.

1.5 Support for Negative valuesNegative values are now supported in Traffic News. You can now view negative values in the following:

• Bar Graphs • Line Graphs • Table Format

Negative values are not supported by Pie charts.

Data labels can also be set as negative values.

You can also configure negative threshold values at which the color of the graph changes. An example of a graph with negative threshold values is given.

Figure 9 Negative Threshold values at which color of the bar graph changes

CCMA types that support graphs with negative valuesGraphs or tables created using the MOVE and SUM counters support negative values.

1.6 Support for viewing float values in the data labelsYou can define data labels in Traffica Admin Tool to display values with a precision of one or two decimal places in Traffic Views graphs. You cannot define data labels to display these values in Traffic Views. For more information, see Data labels.

You cannot filter for these values. These values are displayed in the data labels because the original values have been divided by 10 or 100. The data labels are defined in Traffica Admin Tool. Filtering should be done for the original values and not for the values displayed in the data labels.

Graph RepositoryThe Graph Repository shows all graphs and graph sets of a user group in a folder hierarchy. To modify graphs and graph sets they have to be copied to the Work Set and/or the Content Frame.

Note that there are linked graphs which include root graphs and child graphs. Both root graphs and child graphs show in the Graph Repository but only root graphs can be copied from the Graph Repository to the Work Set and/or the Content Frame. Once a root graph is copied child graphs follow. Child graphs are operated through root graphs. If a bar is clicked in the root graph, the child graph shows further data on the basis of the value that the particular bar represents. If other bar is clicked then the child graph is updated to show data on the basis of new value.

The Graph Repository can be hidden by clicking the one-touch expandable button visible on the top right-hand side of the pane. The pop-up menu of Graph Repository is only available in Tabbed mode.

Graph Type Details Y-axis

Select the type of Y-axis

Dynamic Y-axis scaleSelect to enable a dynamic Y-axis scale. When the graph values vary, the Y-axis is adjusted dynamically, so that the graph can be viewed within the graph window.

Logarithmic Y-axis scaleSelect to convert the y-axis of a graph into a logarithmic scale. The values on the y-axis will read as 1, 10, 100, 1000, etc. Each interval in the logarithmic y-axis scale will be larger than the previous interval by a factor of 10. This option is useful when viewing graphs with values spanning large ranges.

In a logarithmic Y-axis scale, there is no data visible in the graph between values 0 and 1. This is because this range of values is unde-fined on the logarithmic scale.

Fixed Y-axis scaleSelect to enable a fixed y-axis scale. The behavior of this option is listed for each graph type. You can enter both positive and negative values in the maximum and minimum fields.

Graph locationYou can set the location of the graph in the Content Frame by entering coordi-nates.

AbsoluteCheck this button to position graph absolutely. When graph is saved, it is saved in absolute position in pixels in the Content Frame.

RelativeCheck this button to enter coordinates to position a graph in the Content Frame. Define the position by entering the coordinate of a top left corner of the graph window and by entering the graph’s width and height relative to the Content Frame size. The top left corner of the Content Frame has the coordinate 0,0 and the bottom right has the coordinate 1,1. When the graph is saved, it is saved in the given coordinates. The graph is then fixed in that particular location in the Content Frame. When the graph set is opened the next time, graphs will be in the locations they were given coordinates for.

XEnter the position of the graph on the X-axis of the Content Frame. Use frac-tions (1/3) in entering the position. Also, 1 and 0 are applicable. The width is defined as relative width to the Content Frame. For example 1/2 means half of the width of the Content Frame.

YEnter the position of the graph on the Y-axis of the Content Frame. Use frac-tions (1/3) in entering the position. Also, 1 and 0 are applicable. The height is defined as relative height to the Content Frame. For example 1/2 means half of the height of the Content Frame.

MultiplierMultiplier is a value that is used to multiply data values in a graph. For example in relative percentual graphs multiplier is 100. The value is a read-only type and only Traffica Administrator can change it.

Guard ValueType in the guard value as integer.

Guard value is only available for relative graphs. It shows the minimum value for the divisor. Data points whose divisor value is equal or lower than guard value do not appear in the graph. You can use guard value, for example, to exclude data with small divisor values which could distort the results.

For example, a data point value is calculated 3 divided by 10, the bar showing value of 30% will be visible if the guard value is 9 or lower, and not visible if the guard value is 10 or higher.

Graph errors window In faulty graphs there is an Errors button in the graph area. The Errors button opens the Graph errors window. The window shows error messages about what is wrong with the graph.

Possible error messages:

Errors from server:

1. CCMA path not found from TNESCCMA path specified in graph definitions does not match with TNES CCMA defini-tions. Contact Traffica Administrator to check the graph and CCMA definitions.

2. Incompatible time classes in subscription replyIf graph definition has multiple time classes then time class interval, time zone of the time class and number of time slices must be the same. If data source is TNES group then all group elements should use the same time class. All relative, summed and average graphs that use multiple TNESs, should use exactly the same time class. Contact Traffica Administrator to check graph and time class definitions.

3. All subscription replies not received. Data in the graph is outdated.One or more subscription replies, which are needed to update graph data, have not been received in time. Contact Traffica Administrator to check that all TNESs involved in the graph have correct system time and time zone settings. Note that if two TNESs are located in the same time zone, it is not enough that the system time is the same, also the time zone setting needs to be the same. If time settings are correct, this problem may occur because of a delay in network connections between TNESs and TS (that contains Views Server).

4. Connection lost to TNESConnection between Traffic Views Server and TNES or Traffic Views Main Server and Traffic Views Extension Server is lost. TNES or Traffic Views Extension Server may be down or the physical network connection is not OK. Please, try accessing the same graph later. If the problem persists, contact Traffica Administrator.

5. Subscription reply not receivedGraph initialization has failed. Close the graph and open it again.

6. Cannot connect to Counter ServerConnection between Traffic Views Main Server and Traffic Views Extension Server is lost. Traffic Views Extension Server may be down or the physical network connec-tion is not OK. Please, try accessing the same graph later. If the problem persists, contact Traffica Administrator.

7. Error while sending subscription to Counter ServerProtocol level communication error occurred. Please, try accessing the same graph later. Traffica Administrator can check if there are any errors printed in logs. If the problem persists, contact Nokia Siemens Networks.

8. Filter range defined to wideCCMA path in graph definition contains filter definition with too wide a range. The maximum range is 10 000 items. Change filter values to smaller from graph proper-ties.

9. Data is not reliable. Data is filtered because of too much data.Data is not reliable because there are too many vector items and all of them are not shown. The amount of shown data depends on the used time class. The data is selected according to item IDs. This means that vector items with large values may have been left out.To see the data left outside the graph try to use a different graph set (shows same data) that could filter the data. If the graph allows filters, you can try to change filter values to show only the wanted data. In daily time classes and single TNES graphs only 20 000 vector items are subscribed in the order of item IDs. For daily TNES group graphs the number of shown items is calculated by formula: 15 000 divided by the number of TNESs.In historical time classes the maximum limit of 150 000 is divided by the number of history items. To see data left outside the graph, try to use a daily time class. For historical TNES group graphs the limit 15 000 is used and it is divided by the number of TNESs.

10. Dividend or divider information is missing • Dividend is missing • Divider is missing • Dividend vector is missing • Divider vector is missingDividends or dividers subscription reply fails in relative graph. Check if there is a subscription error or if connection has failed.

11. No visible data source in graph Views server that you have an open connection to does not see the selected data source. Select some other data source or login to some other Views server that might be able to see the data source. If unsuccessful, contact Traffica Administrator. The Administrator can tell you the right Views server.

12. Requested entity type did not match with ccma pathCCMA path specified in graph definitions does not match with the CCMA type. Contact Traffica Administrator to check the CCMA definitions and CCMA type.

Errors from client:

1. Data is partly missing. Counter values are not reliable.Counter values in the graph are not reliable because the counters have not been continuously updated. Possible reasons: • Connection lost between TNES and network element

• TNES workspace has been started more recently than the longest time class history

• Time class is reset manuallyReliability factor for historical time classes is calculated as follows:Views Servers have collected time from all time slices that shows how much data has not been received in time (not collected time from all slices) and Views Client calculates percentage of how much of all collected data (all slices) is reliable.Reliability factor for non-historical time classes is calculated as follows:Views Servers have collected time that shows how much data is not received in time (not collected time) and Views Client calculates percentage of data that has not been received after the last time class reset.If reliability factor is more than 99%, this error is not shown. Yellow symbol is shown if reliability factor is more than 90% but less than 99%. Red symbol is shown if reli-ability factor is less than 90%.If graph shows data from multiple TNESs, reliability factor is shown according to the worst TNES. Note that reliability factor does not indicate time when connection between TNES and TS is lost since it does effect counter values.

2. TNES group does not contain any TNESsData source for the graph is the TNES group that does not contain any TNESs. Contact Traffica Administrator to check the data source definition for this graph.

3. Traffic Views Client lost connection to Traffic Views ServerConnection to Traffic Views Server is lost. Traffic Views Server is not running, physical connection to Traffic Views Server is not OK, or Traffica Administrator has changed topology configuration. Please, relogin after a while. If the relogin fails, contact Traffica Administrator.

4. Subscription errorSubscribing graph fails. Close the graph and open it again. If it still does not work, contact administrator. The administrator can check server logs if there is some infor-mation for solving the problem.

5. Unknown subscriptionSubscribing graph fails. Close the graph and open it again. If it still does not work, contact administrator. The administrator can check server logs if there is some infor-mation for solving the problem.

6. Visible datapoint value set to maximum <value> value because vector item count exceeded the limitThere is a maximum limit for how many vector items it is sensible to show at the same time. That is the reason why there is an automatically defined visible datapoint value for graph properties.

7. Cannot select a TNESThere is no element in TNES group that could be selected for graph. Contact Traffica Administrator to check data source definition for this graph.

8. Internal client errorIf some other client errors occur, please, contact Nokia Siemens Networks. Please, send also client (C:\TVClient.log) and server logs (C:\Traffica\ErrorLog\TrafViews*.log) to Nokia Siemens Networks.

9. Graph data source no longer existsThe graph does not have a data source defined. A Traffica Administrator needs to define a data source for the graph.

10. Generating combined graph failed because of data overflow errorThe calculation of combined graph failed because a sum of values got so large that it could not be represented internally. The shown graph data is unreliable.

11. Visible data points and others bar calculation failed because of data overflow errorThe calculation of visible data points and/or others bar failed because a sum of values got so large that it couldn't be represented internally. The graph is shown without visible data points feature.

12. Timestamps in the tooltips are shown in GMT+0 format because TNESs in the graph are located in several time zonesThis warning occurs when combining a TNES group graph where TNESs are located in different time zones. In this case timestamps are shown in GMT+0 format no matter what the original timestamps were.

13. When a graph is deleted by administrator and user has created a graph based on that to Work Set, following error message shows:General: Graph is invalid. Metagraph not found. Current graph may have been removed from the graph repository and this could be the reason why the metagraph is not found. Contact the administrator for solving the problem.

14. Too large value range or value is not in value rangeThis error is displayed in the following cases • When filtering is done for a large range of values, as there are too many values

within this range. • When filtering is done for negative values in a graph that does not support

negative values. • When filtering is done for values that are too small or too big.
