PARAMETERS CHANGE HISTORY

OVERVIEW

This function is used to find parameters that had their values modified during a defined period. Its operation is similar to Parameters Compare. Here, it is used the option Compare Each Day, and, basically, the difference is the output mode. While in the Parameters Compare it is generated a file to download the results, in the Change History option the results are shown directly on the NetChart screen.

NOTE: The configuration of all parameters in NetChart is updated once a day, usually in the morning. So, the done parameter changes in the current day only can be seen in NetChart in the next update.

Parameters_Change_History_1

The tab with the WCEL with ID 23810 was selected to analyze the changes. Let’s observe the results in the highlighted parameters:

  • AdminCellState: had its value changed from 0 to 1 between 14-Dec-15 and 15-Dec-15 and kept this value until the last day of selection.
  • WcelSate: had its value changed from 67 to 192 between 14-Dec-15 and 15-Dec-15 and kept this value until 17-Dec-15, when it changed to 0, as can be observed on day 18-Dec-15.

COMMON ERRORS

  • Looking for a table that belongs to a different level of elements.

NOTE: the available tables are displayed according to the selected element in the treeview.

  • Looking for a table that belongs to other vendor/technology.
