To run an OAM validation test for a VLL service

Prerequisites

An OAM validator test suite must be created for the tested entity. See Chapter 89, Service Test Manager for more information about how to create a validator test suite.

Note: As an alternative, you can also run an OAM validation test on the service by performing a One Time Validation. This is a mostly automated procedure and is described in To run a one-time validation test on a service .

Steps


1	Choose Manage→Service→Services from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Services form opens.
2	Choose a service and click Properties. The VLL Type_of_VLL (Edit) form opens.
3	Click Validate. If an OAM validator test suite is not associated to the service, a dialog box appears: Click OK to associate the service with an existing OAM validator test suite. Select an OAM validator test suite.
4	View the State Cause indicators. When the validation test fails, a check mark appears beside the OAM Validation Failure indicator.
5	Click on the Tests tab. The Test Suite tab is displayed.
6	Click on the Tested Entity Result tab.
7	Choose an entry and click Properties. The Tested Entity Result (Edit) form opens.
8	Click on the Results tab to display the validation test results.
9	If you need to compare two test results from the same type of test, choose the two test results and click Compare; the Difference form opens. Otherwise, go to Step 12 .

11	Close the Difference form.
