Introduction

Cisco Prime Optical (formerly Cisco Transport Manager) is a carrier-class, multitechnology management system that integrates the end-to-end management of traditional transport networks and new carrier packet transport networks. It can help maintain the integrity of existing services, plus deliver interactive, content-based services and high-bandwidth applications.

Cisco Prime Optical manages the entire Cisco optical portfolio, including:

Metro core

Metro dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM)

Metro edge and access products

New Carrier Packet Transport (CPT) System products

Prime Optical also serves as a foundation for integration into a larger overall Operations Support System (OSS) environment by providing northbound gateway interfaces to higher-layer management systems.

New Features and Enhancements

Using the Bug Toolkit

This section explains how to use the Bug Toolkit to search for a specific bug or to search for all bugs in a release.


Step 1 Go to http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit.

Step 2 At the Log In screen, enter your registered Cisco.com user name and password; then, click Log In. The Bug Toolkit page opens.


Note If you do not have a Cisco.com user name and password, you can register for them at http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do.


Step 3 To search for a specific bug, click the Search Bugs tab, enter the bug ID in the Search for Bug ID field, and click Go.

Step 4 To search for bugs, click the Search Bugs tab and specify the following criteria:

Select Product Category—Network Management and Automation.

Select Products—Cisco Transport Manager.


Note Do not enter Cisco Prime Optical. Cisco Prime Optical is the new product name for the former Cisco Transport Manager. At this time, the Bug Toolkit does not accept Cisco Prime Optical as the product name.


Software Version—Select a particular release or select Any.


Note The Bug Toolkit does not support search at the x.x.x release level; for example, 9.6.3. It supports search only to the x.x level; for example, 9.6.


Search for Keyword(s)—Separate search phrases with boolean expressions (AND, NOT, OR) to search within the bug title and details.

Advanced Options—You can either perform a search using the default search criteria or define custom criteria for an advanced search. To customize the advanced search, click Use custom settings for severity, status, and others and specify the following information:

Severity—Choose the severity level.

Status—Choose Terminated, Open, or Fixed.

Choose Terminated to view terminated bugs. To filter terminated bugs, uncheck the Terminated check box and select the appropriate suboption (Closed, Junked, or Unreproducible) that appears below the Terminated check box. Select multiple options as required.

Choose Open to view all open bugs. To filter the open bugs, uncheck the Open check box and select the appropriate suboptions that appear below the Open check box. For example, if you want to view only new bugs in Prime Optical 9.6, choose only New.

Choose Fixed to view fixed bugs. To filter fixed bugs, uncheck the Fixed check box and select the appropriate suboption (Resolved or Verified) that appears below the Fixed check box.

Advanced—Check the Show only bugs containing bug details check box to view only those bugs that contain detailed information, such as symptoms and workarounds.

Modified Date—Choose this option to filter bugs based on the date when the bugs were last modified.

Results Displayed Per Page—Specify the number of bugs to display per page.

Step 5 Click Search. The Bug Toolkit displays the list of bugs based on the specified search criteria.


Note In the search results, the headlines and Release-note enclosures might contain both Cisco Prime Optical and Cisco Transport Manager product names. For example, if a bug applies to both Prime Optical 9.6 and CTM 9.2, the headline and Release-note enclosure contain the earlier CTM product terminology.


Step 6 To export the results to a spreadsheet:

a. In the Search Bugs tab, click Export All to Spreadsheet.

b. Specify the filename and location at which to save the spreadsheet.

c. Click Save. All bugs retrieved by the search are exported.

If you cannot export the spreadsheet, log into the Technical Support website at http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/support/index.html or contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
