Load the Configuration of a Local Device to Configure a Device

A copy of the configuration on a network function (NF) is loaded on the Oracle Communications Session Element Manager application database so that this configuration can be viewed, modified, and validated with minimal interaction with the NF. You must load the configuration to view the configuration and expand it in the navigation tree. After the configuration is loaded, you can check if the configuration copy in the database is current with the configuration version of the device. If the configuration version is not current, the Oracle Communications Session Element Manager application retrieves the latest configuration from the device. This on-demand loading of a configuration ensures that the local copy of the configuration and the configuration on the device are always synchronized.

Note:

For Oracle Enterprise products, the following procedure supports only the Enterprise Session Border Controller (ESBC).
  1. Expand the Configuration Manager slider, and select Devices.
  2. In the Managed Devices table, expand the folder hierarchy, and click the NF folder to expand its device(s).
  3. Click any device you want to load, and click Load.
  4. In the success dialog, click OK.
    The NF configuration is loaded.

Navigate Configuration Manager Views

You can use different Configuration Manager views to navigate the top-level configuration elements of your device by selecting the configuration element and its associated parameters, which appear in the display pane. You can switch between the following views at any time during your session.

Select from the following drop-down list views below the Configuration Manager slider:

Note:

For Oracle Enterprise products, configuration views supports only the Enterprise Session Border Controller (ESBC).
  • Default view—The top-level configuration elements are grouped into logical, function-specific Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager category labels that are grouped for a required configuration task and its associated parameters.
  • CLI view—The top-level elements display in the active product device folder as they appear and are grouped in the device CLI. The product device configuration labels are listed according to their corresponding CLI parameter format.
  • List view—The top-level elements display in an alphabetically-ordered list, and in a CLI parameter format. There is no special grouping as there is with the other two views.
In the CLI view and List view, you can see more element attribute columns by checking the Retrieve all attributes check box. Next, when you select the column arrow menu to access element attribute column selections, all display. See the Customize the Display section in the Overview chapter of the Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager Administration Guide for more information.

Note:

If the Retrieve all attributes check box is checked, it stays checked for the duration of the session.
