A product plugin is used to activate Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager to provide fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security (FCAPS) for devices, and control communications with network elements over secure protocols.

More than one product plugin can be installed on OCSDM at the same time, and the functionality of the plugin(s) is propagated to other OCSDM nodes in a clustered environment. The following example shows how the Service Prover and Enterprise product plugins provide their respective devices access to Session Element Manager, Report Manager and Route Manager.
