1 Introduction

This chapter provides a brief description of the Stateful Applications feature of the Oracle Communications EAGLE. The chapter also includes the scope, audience, and organization of the manual; how to find related publications; and how to contact Oracle for assistance.

Overview

This manual provides feature descriptions, along with commands, maintenance, measurements, and configuration details associated with the Stateful Applications feature of the Oracle Communications EAGLE. The Stateful Applications feature allows the Signal Transfer Point (STP) to validate the messages coming in for a subscriber roaming out by validating them against the Visitor Location Register (VLR) the subscriber was last seen by the Home Location Register (HLR). If the HLR provides a validity of the new VLR, the EAGLE will let the message into the network; if not, the message will be handled per configuration (either silent discard, fallback, or respond with error).

Scope and Audience

This manual is intended for anyone responsible for installing, maintaining, and using the Oracle Communications EAGLE Stateful Applications feature. Users of this manual must have a working knowledge of telecommunications and network installations.
