Sample STM SAA accounting files configuration
SAA accounting file configuration scenario
This sample describes the configuration of SAA accounting files that are to be collected following the generation of an NE schedulable test of VLL services.
A network provider wants to use the NFM-P to view test result information for an NE schedulable test of VLL services, and wants the NFM-P to process the OAM results MIB entries and produce a compressed XML record that is stored in SAA accounting files on the nodes.
To perform this task, an NFM-P administrator creates an NE schedulable test for VLL services that records test result information in SAA accounting files. The administrator creates one accounting policy, one file policy, one test policy, and one test suite.

The following steps describe the end-to-end configuration for this sample. For clarity, only the configuration steps required for the sample are described. See the procedures in Procedures to use the STM for complete STM configuration information.
