5.4. FILES IMPORT

Once a database is created, you can import data into it. ALU 9358 RFO is able to
import data from:
- files on local machine
- WMS servers
When disk space is low on the drive where ALU 9358 RFO databases are stored, a red
exclamation mark may appear in the Data Manager next to the database icon. This
icon appears when disk space is low and may be insufficient for further operations
with the database.
The user should free up disk space or consider changing database location in the ALU
9358 RFO options, and then recreating the database and load the files anew.
Note: database size depends on the type of imported XML trace files and their
content. You can take into account that the ratio of raw XML trace files to the
database size is something of 1 to 3 (for example, 1 Mb of raw files means a 3 Mb
database size).

Using Report Builder you may view reports content, modify it and save to a file.
You can also navigate a report you wish to work with through the list of available
reports. Usual steps to modify a report are the following:
1. Select the report type.

The report type determines how this report will be computed: per call or
per cell. Note that when you change it, indicators incompatible with
selected report type are removed from both lists.
2. Add indicators.
A list of available indicators is organized into groups. You can read a
description for any indicator in the field below. To add indicators to your
report drag them to the list of reports indicators or use Pickup selected
context menu command (or its respective shortcut key: Ctrl+G).
3. Remove indicators
To remove indicators from the list of reports indicators you should select
ones you want to be deleted and use Remove selected context menu
command (or its respective shortcut key: Delete). You can also remove all
indicators but the selected ones (cropping) by using the corresponding
context menu command (or its respective shortcut key: Ctrl+Delete). It is
also possible to remove indicators simply by dragging the selected ones out
from the Used indicators in report pane.
4. Add a description.
Use this field to add any information about your report.
5. To save your report to already existing file (its name is displayed in the
title) use button Save. If you want to save it in a new file use button
Save As....
6. To re-arrange indicators in the Selected indicators list, use Move up and

Move down buttons or corresponding context menu commands (or its
respective shortcut keys Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down Arrow accordingly). Note that,
you can also re-arrange selected indicators by dragging them with mouse.
The order of indicators defines the order of the columns in the Report
View window (for more detail information about Report View window,
please read 6.3.5 section).
6.3.4 CALLS/CELLS SELECTION

You are able to select calls/cells that will be analyzed during user-defined reports
computation. It can be done via controls that are presented on the panels Calls
and Cells (Figure 6-14). It also can be accessed through the corresponding items in
the View section of the Main menu (see Section 3.2 of the document for details).
Figure 6-15 Call and Cell Lists
These two controls are identical. The only difference is that the Calls list manages
calls, while the Cells list manages cells.
Each control is divided into two major areas (Figure 6-15). Upper area is Showcase
contains a list of all calls/cells currently stored in the database. It is empty when
you start ALU 9358 RFO, because there no database is selected in the Data Manger.
To populate it with calls/cells a database should be selected (see Section 5 of the
document for details). Every time when you import new data in the database or
select another database this area is refreshed.
At the bottom the lists and the consequent managing tools are located (see list
managing operations in the Table 6-10). You can work with several lists at a time,
but process items (calls/cells) from only one you have selected.

Figure 6-16 Components of the Call/Cell List

Table 6-9 Components of the Calls/Cells List
1 Showcase - list of the all available items (calls/cells of the current database)
2 List - list of the selected items (calls/cells)
3 Desk set of the available lists
4 Toolbar managing operations that can be performed over the list or desk
You may add any number of lists to the desk and fill it with any calls/cells from the
Showcase. So, each list on the desk will contain its own set of the calls/cells. It is
very handy to have a desk with lists you want analyze. You can quickly build
different reports just switching between these ones (note that when you run report
computation, calls/cells from the current list are used).
To create a new list use button New List . After the new list has been created
you can add calls/cells to it from the Showcase. Simply drag items from the
Showcase (upper section of the Calls/Cells List control) or use context menu item
Pick up selected (it can be accessed by its corresponding shortcut key: Ctrl+G). To
remove all or specific calls/cells from the list use the corresponding context menu
or toolbar items: Remove all (respective shortcut key: Ctrl+X) or Remove
selected (respective shortcut key: Delete). You can also remove all items but
selected ones (cropping) by using Remove all but selected menu option (it can
be accessed by its corresponding shortcut key Ctrl+Delete).
After you constructed some list you may want to save it for further use. Such ability
is provided. You may save/open/delete lists. They are stored not on the disk, but in
the current database. This is done because a list is a subset of calls/cells is present
in the database. And so, this is reasonable to associate it with the database.
The following operations may be performed:
Save the current list to the storage (database) by using button Save
List.
Delete a list from the storage database by using button Delete a saved
List. In this case the current list is erased in the storage and removed from
the desk.
Open a list from the database by using button Open a saved List.
Loading is performed via the following dialog (Figure 6-16) that displays all
lists stored in the storage.
Figure 6-17 Stored lists dialog box
Another useful option is an ability to memorize lists that are currently opened on
the desk to be automatically restored when you select this database next time. It
can be obtained through the button Save List Set also. When desk is saving
the all changed lists are saved in the storage too. You can also to restore manually
all the memorized lists via button Restore List Set .
For all available managing operations, please see the table below (Table 6-10).

6.3.5 REPORT VIEW

Report View displays the result of user-defined report computation.
A new Report View window is created each time when you start computation using
Report Manager. You may open several Report Views for the same report. They may
differ from each other since there is no automatic synchronization. For example you
may compute some report once, then remove some indicators from the report and
compute it again. In this case you will have two Report Views with different results,
but for the same report. If you want to refresh already existing window use option
Refresh (see below).
All Report Views are closed when you delete currently selected database or select
another database.

The result of report computation is a table. Each row corresponds to one call or
cell. The first column contains ID of call/cell. Other columns represent values of
calculated PIs.
You are able to perform standard grid operations like filtering, sorting etc. Also

there are the following specific options that may be accessed through toolbar
buttons or the corresponding context menu items:
o Refresh:
You are able to refresh a Report View to reflect recent changes made to the
report, database or list of selected calls/cells. In this case the report will be
computed again using fresh data and the result will be displayed in already
opened Report View.
o Add Calls/Cells To List:
This options allow you to select calls/cells in the Report View and add them
to the list of selected calls/cells. Note that you can also do it by simply
dragging the specified items to Calls/Cells List with mouse.
o Add to Active File List:

This option allow you add corresponding active files of currently selected
calls to Active file list. You can also add the specified calls to Active File
List by dragging them with mouse. (Note: this option is available when
Call type of report is selected).
o Transpose:
You can improve your report results browsing by using this feature. It swaps
columns of indicators with rows of call/cells (as it is depicted on the Figure
6-18 below). The columns in this mode are split into the pages and can be
listed through the navigator panel at bottom of the Report view window.
Figure 6-19 Using of Transpose command
o Save file name list:

You can save the list of call trace files associated with the selected calls in a
.txt file (also the list of folders containing these files is saved). Then
created *.txt file may be used during import (see section 5.4.1 for details).
o Export:
You are able to export able to export the result of computation in the CSV
or TXT format.
In the Export to file dialog enter the file name and select the format (CSV or
TXT).
Figure 6-20 Export to File Dialog
If you select the TXT format the additional export option dialog will
appear..
Figure 6-21 Export Options Selection Dialog Box
There are the following export options:

1. Text separator this is a string that will be placed between data fields.
There are two predefined separators: TAB (tabulation) and comma (,).
2. Quote strings with separators whether to surround data fields that contain
text separator with quotes.
6.4. USER-DEFINED SCENARIOS

NOTE: This section describes features available for professional edition only.
6.4.1 OVERVIEW
User-defined scenarios allow you to analyse calls and collect required information
about them.
Scenario is a state machine that is executed on a call. It determines an algorythm of

analysis. Call events are processed one by one. When an event with specified
characteristics is encoutered, variables are modified and transition to a new state
occurs.
Definitions of scenarios and entities used to construct them (events, variables,

states) are stored in scenario file. It has XML format and may be edited via
Scenario Builder. Management of scenario files is performed via Scenario
Manager.
Processing of scenarios may be run either on calls imported to a database or directly
on call trace files. The Scenario Results view allows to display the results of
processing in different forms and export them if necessary.

placed on the Scenario Builder toolbar or via the corresponding menu item of
Quick access view.
Create new scenario file
To create a new scenario file click toolbar button New scenario file . A file
with the minimum contents will be generated and opened for editing.
Save scenario file
To save all changes to a scenario file click toolbar button Save . If the button
is disabled, it means that no modifications were made and there is nothing to save.
Use toolbar button Save As , if you want to save a file to a specific location or

6.4.3.3 SCENARIO BUILDER VIEWS
Editing of scenario file is performed by using:
Scenario makeup desktop

Event manager
Variable manager
Each of these views is in charge of a certain part of scenario file. Events manager
and Variables manager are responsible for events and variables lists respectively.
Scenario makeup desktop manages states list and the most important part of
scenario file - scenarios lists.
Mostly these views are intended for addition, removal and duplication of items.
Editing of items contents is performed via the Properties view which displays
properties of the currently positioned item.
The Quick access view serves as a browser with ability to glance over contents of
loaded scenario files (except current) and copy items from them to the currently
opened scenario file.
You can configure Scenario Builder views according to your preferences: dock any
view at the desired position, hide, close or open it. To do that, use views buttons
and menu View located on the Scenario Builder toolbar.
6.4.3.4 SCENARIO MAKEUP DESKTOP
Overview
Scenario makeup desktop is the most important part of Scenario Builder. Its
main purpose is management of scenarios that are contained in the edited scenario
file. Using this control you can add, remove, duplicate scenarios and define their
structure.
Also Scenario makeup desktop manages states contained in the current scenario file.

3. Expand expand a node and all its descendants
4. Collapse collapse a node and all its descendants
5. Expand all expand all nodes in the tree

6. Collapse all collapse all nodes in the tree

Figure 6-27 Scenario makeup desktop context menu
Scenario makeup tree
Data in Scenario makeup desktop is represented in the form of tree where each
node is an element of scenario file. This tree consists of two parts:
1. States list.
All states used in scenarios are displayed here.
2. Scenarios list.
This part of tree defines scenarios.
Table 6-16 Scenario makeup tree nodes
States list all states from the scenario file are displayed under this
tree node.
Scenario defines scenario properties. Scenarios must have unique
names.
These nodes have different meaning depending on their position in
the tree.
1. When they are displayed under node States, they represent
states defined in the scenario file.
States should have unique names. States Start and Finish
are predefined and their properties and position in the tree
cannot be changed. Take into account that states are shared
between all scenarios and may be referred by several
scenario-states. If you modify or remove a state, all related
scenario-states will be affected.
2. When these nodes are displayed under scenario node, they
represent scenario-states.
Each scenario may contain one or more scenario-state. Each
of them references a state from states list. A scenario must
contain scenario-state referring predefined state Start (it
cannot be removed). Also optionally it may have state

Finish and several scenario-states defined by the user. Two
scenario-states cannot refer to the same state.
State-event
Each scenario-state may contain several state-events. Each state-
event refers to an event from events list. When this event is
encountered during processing and all conditions defined in the
state-event are met, actions associated with this state-event are
performed and transition to Next state occurs. Text => State A
means that Next state for this event is state with name State
A.
Postprocessing
This element contains a list of actions that are performed after a
scenario is moved to state Finish or the last event of a call is
reached.
Action
This node defines an action that should be performed on the
corresponding variable.
Next sections describe operations that may be performed by using Scenario makeup
desktop.
Adding new element
To add a new element, use an appropriate toolbar button or a context menu item.
After an element is created it is automatically positioned and its properties became
available in the Properties view. Then use the Properties view to configure a
new element as you want.
Add new scenario
Click toolbar item Add new scenario . A new scenario with default properties
and contents will be created.

generated and added to the states list. Then a scenario-state that refers to the
newly created state will be added to the specified position.
Add new scenario-state using existing state

Position on a scenario where you want a scenario-state to be added or on an existing
scenario-state and click toolbar item Add existing state . In opened drop-down
list select a needed state. A new scenario-state that refers to the selected state will
be added to the specified position.

Add new scenario-state using existing state via Drag & drop
Drag a state from states list to a desired position. A new scenario-state that refers
to the dropped state will be added to the specified position.
Add new state-event

Position on a scenario-state where you want a state-event to be added or on an
existing state-event and click toolbar item Add new event . A new event will
be generated and added to the events list. Then state-event that refers to the
newly created event will be added to the specified position.

Position on a state-event where you want an action to be added or on the
Postprocessing element or on an existing action and click toolbar item Add new
action . In opened drop-down list select a needed variable. A new action for
the selected variable will be added to the specified position.
Add new action via Drag & drop
Drag variable(s) from another view (Variables manager or Quick access) to a

desired position. New action(s) for the dropped variable(s) will be added to the
specified position.
Remove selected
Select the items you want to remove. Click toolbar item Remove selected .
Note that some items cannot be removed due to their specifics (e.g. predefined
state Start). Also if there is a relationship between item to remove and some
other items additional modifications will be made automatically. For example if you
remove a state from states list all scenario-states that refer to it will be removed as
well. In such cases you will be asked whether you want to continue the operation.
Duplicate
Almost all items located on Scenario makeup desktop may be duplicated. To do
that position an item that you want to duplicate and click toolbar item Duplicate
. A copy of the specified item having the same contents will be created.
Editing Name and Comment fields

Each item in the Scenario makeup desktop tree has name and comment. They are
displayed in the corresponding columns and may be edited by simply typing a new
text in the desired cell. Note that editing for some items is restricted due to their
specifics (e.g. name of predefined state Start cannot be changed).
Drag & drop support
You can use drag & drop:
to change order and location of items inside tree

to create scenario-states by dragging states from states list to scenarios
for adding new items by dragging them from other controls (Quick
access, Events manager, Variables manager)
to define a transition between states
How and where a dragged item is placed and what action is performed depends on
the type of item you drag and item that is currently under the cursor. An icon
explaining potential drag-drop action is displayed in front of position where you are
going to drop item.
Figure 6-28 Scenario makeup tree item dragging
In the example on the figure scenario-state State A is dragged over scenario

Scenario 2. And icon indicates that this scenario-state will be appended as a
child to this scenario. Other possible cases are the following:
1. - this icon indicates that a dragged item will be inserted before

currently positioned item
2. - this icon indicates that a dragged item will be inserted after currently
positioned item. Note that by default items are inserted before currently
positioned item. To insert it after hold SHIFT key.
3. - this icon indicates that a dragged scenario-state will be set as Next

for the state-event that is currently under the cursor
Move items inside tree
You can change order and location of items inside tree for your own purposes. To do
that, simply drag an item to a new position.
Moving may be restricted if it may lead to any syntax error in the scenario file. For
example if you try to move a scenario-state to a scenario that already contains it,
such operation will be rejected, since scenario should not contain two scenario-
states with identical names.
Also moving may lead to some changes of scenario items properties. Such changes
are made to keep the scenario file consistent. For example if you move a scenario-
state to another scenario, all state-events that refer it as Next in old scenario
now will refer to predefined state None. In such cases you will be asked whether
you want to continue the operation.
Define transition via Drag & drop

You can define transition between states by dragging a scenario-state that should be
Next to a state-event that should lead to transition. If transition is allowed an
icon in front of the target scenario-state will change to .

6.4.3.7 PROPERTIES VIEW
This view provides ability to browse and modify properties of scenario files
elements. The currently positioned element of the current view is displayed.
Figure 6-32 Properties view
Table 6-19 Properties view areas
1 Properties of the selected element
2
Description of the selected property
Each row of the Property view corresponds to a property of scenario element.

Properties are organized in tree-like structure. This is done to group them by
meaning and to display properties of related scenario elements. If a property is a
reference to another element of scenario file, properties of the referred element
are displayed as child rows of this property. For example properties of event are
available via properties of state-event. They are displayed as child rows of the
Associated event row. This is useful when you want to modify an event related to
the current state-event. In this case you do not need to go to Events manager and
look for a needed event. Just use view Properties that provides access to the
events properties.
Properties that cannot be edited are grayed out.
In most cases drop-down list for combo box editors contains only those values that
may be assigned to the current property. For example, when you select state
associated with scenario-state, editors drop-down list does not contain states that
are already used in the scenario.
Most of properties are edited via usual text or combo box editors. But some of them
require a specific editor. The following control is used for editing of call trace
events causes list.

For each loaded scenario file, the Quick access view displays lists of events,
variables, states and scenarios. You can see structure of each scenario and
properties of each element, but any editing is restricted.
The elements that cannot be copied are grayed out. The rest may be copied to the
currently opened scenario file by dragging them to a desired position.
Events may be copied to:
o Events manager - a copy of event is created

o Scenario makeup desktop a new state-event and a copy of event
are created

Variables may be copied:

o Variables manager - a copy of variable is created
o Scenario makeup desktop a new action and a copy of variable

are created
Scenarios may be copied to Scenario makeup desktop only. A copy of
scenario is created. Also all states, events and variables that are used in the
scenario are copied too.
Note that if an element with identical name already exists in a target scenario file,
a new name is generated and assigned to the copied element. A warning is displayed
in this case.
6.4.4 SCENARIO RESULTS VIEW

6.10. SYNCHRONIZATION
Several views may be open in parallel, it can be several views of the same kind
(several Graph views, for example) or of different kind (a Graph, a Message view).
The synchronization is based on the timestamp. If you select data in one view, the
data with the same timestamp (or the closest one) in all other synchronized views is
selected:
Figure 6-90 Synchronization
Each view may be unsynchronized; in that case this window doesnt change if
another timestamp is chosen in another synchronized view, or if another logical file
is chosen in the active file list. Press button on the window toolbar to make it
synchronized/unsynchronized.
You can switch between modes by pressing button on the toolbar or by

selecting View > Switch Synchronization Mode from menu.

Figure 6-91 Synchronization, Switching between Modes
Warning: all opened views will be closed after pressing the button.
Two modes of synchronization may be used:

- Single-file synchronization - all the open views are synchronized with the
logical file selected in the Active File List.
- Multi-file synchronization - when you open a view, it is synchronized for the
selected file of the active file list, so you can open different views for
different logical files by selecting them in the Active File List
6.10.1 SINGLE-FILE SYNCHRONIZATION MODE

In the single-file synchronization mode, make a file active in the Active File List
by double-clicking or by right-clicking and choosing Select file from menu.
As a result all opened views are updated for that selected file.
6.10.2 MULTI-FILE SYNCHRONIZATION MODE

Making active file from Active File List is the same like for a single-file
synchronization mode.
In the multi-file synchronization mode, choosing another file from Active File List
will not replace any opened views.
