Procedure

1. Log in to the eSight server.

   In Windows, log in to the eSight server as the Administrator user. In Linux, log in to the eSight server as the ossuser user.

2. Configure a related item for generating NTA northbound files. For details, see section Configuring the Generation of NTA Northbound Files.
3. Open the nbi.xml file.
   • Windows

     Access the <Installation directory>/AppBase/etc/oms.nbi directory and use the text editor to open the nbi.xml file.

   • Linux

     Run the following commands:

     cd <Installation directory>/AppBase/etc/oms.nbi

     vi nbi.xml

4. In the nbi.xml file, configure the interconnection between eSight and third-party systems in pull mode.

   eSight can interconnect with a maximum of 20 third-party systems. Each <UserInfo> node indicates a third-party system.

   • If the push mode is used, eSight proactively uploads the file. You need to configure the FTP server of the third-party system.
   • If the pull mode is used, the third-party systems proactively obtain the file. You only need to configure the name of the third-party system. For details, see section Configuring the Interconnection with the third-party system (pull).
   • The NTA FTP northbound interface uses pull as the transmission mode.

5. Save the modifications.
   • Windows

     Choose File > Save from the main menu of the text editor and close the window.

   • Linux

     Run the following command:

     :wq

6. Restart the eSight service to make the configurations take effect.
7. Check whether the northbound FTP interface is configured successfully. For details, see section Verifying Configurations.
