To modify the primary subscriber identification script or URL

Purpose

This procedure allows an NFM-P operator to modify the primary subscriber identification script without service disruption. Perform this procedure only when the primary script and URL are operational.

CAUTION 

CAUTION

Service Disruption

Modifying the primary subscriber identification script is potentially service-affecting if no functional backup script is administratively enabled. Modifying a backup (secondary or tertiary) subscriber identification script is unlikely to be service-affecting if the other backup script (secondary or tertiary) functions properly and is administratively enabled. Ensure that at least one administratively enabled backup script is accessible to the NFM-P and the NEs to which it applies before you proceed.

Steps
 
1 

Choose Policies→Residential Subscriber from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Subscriber Policies form opens.

2 

Select a subscriber identification policy and click Properties. The Subscriber Identification Policy (Edit) form opens.

3 

Copy the operational primary script URL and paste it to the secondary position. This action ensures that an operational backup script is in place in the event that there is a problem with the new primary script or URL.

  1. Set the Secondary Script Administrative State parameter to Disabled.

  2. Click Apply and confirm the operation. The NFM-P administratively disables the secondary script.

  3. Configure the Secondary Script URL parameter with the value of the Primary Script URL parameter.

  4. Set the Secondary Script Administrative State parameter to Enabled.

  5. Click Apply and confirm the operation. The NFM-P administratively enables the secondary script.

    You must administratively disable and enable a script URL to cause the NEs to which the subscriber identification policy applies to load the script using the URL.

4 

Modify a renamed copy of the former primary script or create a replacement script, as required. Record the new or modified script URL.

5 

Configure the new URL as the primary script URL.

  1. Set the Primary Script Administrative State parameter to Disabled.

  2. Click Apply and confirm the operation. The NFM-P administratively disables the primary script. The secondary (former primary) script is the active script.

  3. Configure the Primary Script URL parameter with the new URL value.

  4. Set the Primary Script Administrative State parameter to Enabled.

  5. Click Apply and confirm the operation. The NFM-P administratively enables the primary script. The new primary script is the active script.

    You must administratively disable and enable a script URL to cause the NEs to which the subscriber identification policy applies to load the script using the URL.

6 

Save your changes and close the forms.
