Which application generates the commissioning file(s)?

The Commissioning and Provisioning aPplication (CPB) is the designated Nokia tool for generating the commissioning files required to bootstrap a network element (NE). The CPB takes network design data, typically exported from the Engineering and Planning Tool (EPT), and uses it to create the specific XML-based configuration files. These files contain the initial boot options (BOF) and configuration parameters that enable a new NE to come online and establish communication with the Network Services Platform (NSP) for ongoing management.

A. NFM-T is a network management application within NSP used to monitor and manage transport network elements after they have been successfully commissioned.
B. NSP is the overall platform. The CPB is a specific, standalone application within the NSP ecosystem that performs this function, making it the more precise answer.
D. EPT is the Engineering and Planning Tool used for network design. It provides the source data input to the CPB, but it does not generate the final commissioning files.

1. Nokia Network Services Platform NFM-P Commissioning and Management Guide, Release 21.11 (Document ID: 3HE-17318-AAAA-TQZZA), Chapter 2, "NE commissioning and management workflow", Section: "Commissioning and Provisioning aPplication".

Quote: "The CPB is a standalone Java application that generates the commissioning files for an NE. The CPB uses network design data that is exported from the EPT." This statement directly confirms that the CPB generates the files using EPT data as input.

2. Nokia Network Services Platform NFM-P Commissioning and Management Guide, Release 21.11 (Document ID: 3HE-17318-AAAA-TQZZA), Chapter 2, "NE commissioning and management workflow", Section: "Engineering and Planning Tool".

Quote: "The EPT is a standalone Java application that is used to create and manage network designs. The EPT exports network design data for use by the CPB." This clarifies the EPT's role as the source of design data, not the generator of the final files.
