4.7 User-Defined Parameters
The User-Defined Parameters tab allows you to view and define certain parameter constant values that can be used in a script. Changing the parameter values may directly affect the results of scripts using the affected parameters.
This feature is accessed by selecting User Defined Parameter from the Configuration menu on the Main Window.
Two steps are required for creating and using a user-defined parameter:
• Create a threshold set.
• Create an alias in a script for the user-defined parameter.
These steps are described below.
Create a Threshold Set with a UDP:
1. From the Main window, go to Configuration | User Defined Parameter.
2. Click the
New button
and enter a new Threshold Set Name.
3. In row 1, enter the Technology (e.g., Common, GSM, etc.). This will allow grouping of the UDPs within the Threshold Set.
4. Enter the Compact Name (e.g., CoverageOK).
5. Enter the threshold Value (e.g., -80). This value will be used by the script.
6. Enter the Unit, if applicable (e.g., dBm). The unit entry is optional information for the user.
7. Save the new Threshold Set.
Add an Alias for the UDP to Your Script:
1. In Script Builder, go to the Threshold tab.
2. Find your Threshold Set name in the tree and expand it.
3. Find the UDP name (the Compact Name defined when you created the threshold), drag it into the Alias list, and give it an alias.
4. Use the alias in your script.
