Synopsis 
Description 
This interface instructs the EMS to store historical PM data in a file, and to notify the NMS when the 
request is complete. Within the request a list of TP/layerRate measurement points and a time frame are 
specified. For each measurement point, the granularity (15-minute, 24-hour) and location 
(PML_NEAR_END_RX, PML_FAR_END_RX) can be specified. A filtered set (scoped by the input 
parameter pmParameters) of PM parameters collected for a particular TP/layer rate measurement point for 
the specified granularity, location, and time window is made available. 
Measurement intervals and the time frame are considered as closed intervals (that is, [startTime <= t 
endTime] ). 
Performance monitoring data on multiple TPs of multiple MEs is transferred in one data file. The PM file 
format is defined by the TMF. Prime Optical generates a unique filename and saves the file in the CTMS-
home/pmData/username/ directory. This file is retained for six hours after Prime Optical finishes writing 
the requested PM data. After six hours, the file is deleted. When GateWay/CORBA restarts, it retrieves a 
list of all existing PM files and deletes them after six hours. 
This is an asynchronous operation. Once Prime Optical receives the request, it validates it and the call 
returns. In the background, Prime Optical begins writing to the file. Upon successful completion, it 
notifies the NMS session by invoking nmsSession::NmsSession_I::historyPMDataCompleted. If Prime 
Optical fails to create this file or write into the file, the NMS is notified by invoking 
nmsSession::NmsSession_I::historyPMDataFailed. 
Prime Optical allows only one request from each NMS session at a time.  
For ONS 15454 SDH NEs, this operation is not supported on low-order STM-path, but is supported on 
path parameters on E3 and DS3 cards.
