Enable Statistics

Enable this option to collect processing statistics for the Nortel collection cartridge. This is useful for monitoring performance and troubleshooting.

Logging Level

Select whether to create a log file. The possible values are On or Off.

Max Log File Size

Enter the maximum size, in bytes, for the log file. After the maximum is reached, the node creates a new log file.

Optimize Reading and Writing of Files

Select to enable batch processing of read and write operations.

Batch Size

Enter the number of records that will be submitted by Offline Mediation Controller to ECE before waiting for responses. Larger batch sizes may help improve throughput. and may require the Waiting time per batch to be increased to permit all responses to be received from ECE before submitting the next batch.

Max records per suspense/success file

Enter the maximum number of records per file that should be written in the OMC_home/ocomc/suspense or the OMC_home/ocomc/success directory. The minimum value is 1 and the maximum value is 50000.

Waiting time per batch

Enter the duration, in milliseconds, the node waits for the batch to be processed. The minimum value is 1 and the maximum value is 1800000.

Timeout for Archiving NAR files

Enter the frequency at which partially filled no-response, duplicate, and bad NAR records should be closed and moved to their corresponding destination locations. This permits partially filled files of failed NARs to be closed and moved (the max file size is controlled by the OCECESuspenseBatchSize configuration or, by default, will be 10000 records).

Response Timeout

Enter the frequency with which the node should check for requests that have not received a response from ECE. The records are stored in memory until there is a response. Any record that has been waiting for a response for more than the "Response Timeout" will be written to the no-response NAR file. Note that as this parameter controls both the timeout and the frequency with which this check is executed, a no-response would be detected at latest two times the value of this timeout.

Request Throttling

Select in cases where the ECE server may not be responding as quickly as normal; it can be helpful to pause submission of more work for a short time. When enabled, the number of outstanding requests will be checked after each batch. If the number of outstanding requests is larger than the 'High-Water Mark', processing of the record stream will be halted until the number of outstanding requests drops below the 'Low-Water Mark'.

(Only appears when Request Throttling is selected)

Enter the minimum number of outstanding requests allowed before processing resumes. When the number of outstanding requests drops below this value, the node continues processing.

(Only appears when Request Throttling is selected)

Enter the maximum number of outstanding requests allowed. When the number of outstanding requests exceeds this value, processing is paused until the count falls below the Low-Water Mark.

Output bad records as NAR

Select to generate a NAR for the bad records.

Log success records

Select to enable writing the records successfully processed by the ECE to a file in the OMC_home/ocomc/success directory. When enabled, the OCECE DC node logs successfully processed ECE records to the success file. This feature is particularly useful when the advice of charge notification in ECE is configured to include events such as in-session notifications on the usage response message (PIGGYBACK). For more details on configuring advice of charge notifications, consult the ECE documentation.

Submission-throttling milliseconds

Enter the amount of time (in milliseconds) that the OCECE DC Node will pause before submitting new requests to ECE. Whilst Request Throttling controls submission at a batch level, the micro-throttling feature permits throttling of submission within a batch of records as a flow-control mechanism. If, at any time, the number of outstanding requests (those sent to the ECE server but for which responses have not been received) exceeds the Max outstanding requests before throttling configuration, the ECE DC Node will add this pause before submitting new requests to ECE.

Max outstanding requests before throttling

Enter the maximum number of outstanding requests that will be permitted before the ECE DC Node begins pausing the submission of requests to ECE. See "Submission-throttling milliseconds," which defines how long each pause will be. Once the number of outstanding requests drops below this threshold, records will be submitted normally.

Max MSCC batch size

Enter the number of input records in each batch that are for the same user identity. In cases where there are multiple input records in each batch that are for the same user identity, grouping those records into a single request for the ECE server permits them to be processed together. This can optimize throughput when a large proportion of records are for a small number of distinct user identities. Typical values would be in the range of 1 to 10. There is generally little additional benefit from using larger batch sizes (and none when all user identities are distinct).

Backup NAR Files
