Before you begin

Overview

Nokia recommends that you do the following before you start to work in the XML development environment.

• Review the requirements for license key configuration and platform size considerations. See the NSP Planning Guide for more information.

• Preconfigure the device that you want the NFM-P to manage. See the device documentation, or procedures about network management configuration in the NSP System Administrator Guide for more information.

• Back up the NFM-P database. Nokia recommends a database backup before you implement any major, network-wide configuration changes. A database backup utility is available in the NFM-P client GUI and through a CLI. See the section on backing up the main database in the NSP System Administrator Guide for more information.

• Understand OSS interfaces and standard XML schema constructions
