Saving the Network Configuration

Save your network configuration frequently as you work, and every time you finish the stack configuration. In the context of SS7 Monitor, this is referred to as checkpointing.

On a 2-host platform the configuration is saved to both SS7 hosts. When HP OpenCall SS7 starts, it automatically loads the most recently checkpointed configuration and activates MTP level 3.

You can checkpoint your configuration from with the SS7 Monitor, or from the command line.

Checkpointing the Configuration using SS7 Monitor

If you made some changes, you are prompted to checkpoint in the following situations:

• when you leave the Configure Entities sub-menu

• when you enter the (q)uit command

• after several minutes (default value is 5 minutes) of inactivity within the submenus

You can also checkpoint at anytime by typing C if this option is shown in your window.

Checkpointing from the Command Line

You can checkpoint from a prompt using the ss7Checkpoint command.
