This chapter explains how to start and stop the SS7 process on Signaling Servers.
The SS7 process is a native SS7 stack wrapper, required in every solution in which Service Broker communicates with entities in the SS7 network. The SS7 SSU sends and receives SS7 traffic through the SS7 process.
The process is included in all Service Broker packages, excluding the Policy Controller that does not require SS7 connectivity.
The SS7 process needs to run on each of the servers where the SS7 SSU is deployed. In a clustered split domain (that is, when deploying separate Signaling and Processing domains), you run the SS7 process on each of the Signaling Servers in the Signaling domain. In a basic single domain deployment, you run the SS7 process on each of the servers in the domain.
There are two types of SS7 processes, one for each type of SS7 network: SIGTRAN and TDM. For each network type, there are two process binaries, one for Linux and another for Solaris.
The binaries of the SS7 process are located in the following directory:
Oracle_home/ocsb61/managed_server/ss7stack
To start the SS7 process for SIGTRAN networks:
Depending on the operating system you use, enter one of the following in the command shell:
Linux: convergin.ss7stack.sigtran.linux port_number
Solaris: convergin.ss7stack.sigtran.solaris port_number
port_number is the port that the SS7 process use to listen to messages from the SS7 SSU.
To start the SS7 process for TDM networks:
Depending on the operating system you use, enter one of the following in the command shell:
Linux: convergin.ss7stack.dialogic.linux port_number –src=ss7_process_module_id -sccp dialogic_sccp_module_id
Solaris: convergin.ss7stack.dialogic.solaris port_number –src=ss7_process_module_id -sccp dialogic_sccp_module_id
port_number is the port that the SS7 process use to listen to messages from the SS7 SSU.
ss7_process_module_id is the ID that the SS7 process use to identify itself when connecting to the underlying SS7 stack.
dialogic_sccp_module_id is the identifier of the underlying SCCP module of the SS7 stack.
