GPM for NAP / CAP - Unisys Communications Application Platform
If you are running the NAP / CAP telephony application on your Unisys ClearPath platform, then GPM for NAP gives you all the information you need to monitor, alarm on and report your system.
GPM for NAP is based on the GPM Performance Tool, which has:
- System Module - allowing you to effectively monitor CPU, Memory, I/O, Disk Space utilisation, and other ‘hardware’ related items.
- Workload Module – allowing you to group NAP tasks together to form meaningful workloads on the system e.g. UVMS, GNS, VCH, Voice.
- Database Module – allowing you to monitor the performance of, and identify bottlenecks in, any of the NAP databases e.g. UVMSDB, GNSDB.
- BNAV2 module – allowing you to identify any bottlenecks or errors in the BNA network interconnecting your platforms.
- HOSTALARM module – allows you to feed GPM alarms via a TCPIP/IP link to a third party Alarm Management system e.g. Netcool, TeMIP, NMS5000.
There are also additional specialist probes that give you access to the detailed data that you need to monitor, alarm and report on your NAP / CAP system.
NAP Module
Easy access to all the available information in the Unisys NAP Statistics Library
- Response statistics
- Application statistics
- Voice File statistics
- Resource Group information
- User Agent Statistics
- NIU statistics
- TSP statistics
- CAS Signalling information
- Linkset Status information

GNS Module
Access to statistics and error counts from the Unisys GNS Statistics Library, allowing you to effectively monitor, alarm and report on the GNS Application.
BICSS Module
Reads the BICSS Events records from the Activity file in near real time to give you a configurable and usable way to monitor, alarm and report on the huge volume of information in the BICSS log from all the Unisys NAP / CAP Applications.
BICSSANALYZER
BICSSANALYZER allows detailed analysis of BICSS records by mailbox. It produces CSV file output suitable for importing into Excel or databases.
GPM Data Warehouse
The GPM Data Warehouse facility is an optional, add-on capability for GPM that simplifies the long-term storage and analysis of performance and capacity planning data for NAP / CAP systems. Data is automatically extracted from one or more Unisys ClearPath hosts on a daily basis and stored in a Microsoft SQL Server database.
Is your ClearPath NAP / CAP system performing as well as you would wish? Do you have concerns about what impact new telephony products and services will have on your NAP / CAP system? If so, then find out more about our NAP Services.
If you are a NAP / CAP user, then you need GPM – the industry standard for monitoring, alarming and reporting on NAP.
