2 Installing and Configuring Online Mediation Controller

This chapter explains how to install and configure Oracle Communications Online Mediation Controller.

Online Mediation Controller Hardware and Software Requirements

Online Mediation Controller does not have additional hardware needs beyond those listed in Oracle Communications Service Broker Installation Guide. See Oracle Communications Service Broker Installation Guide, for more information on hardware requirements.

Install Online Mediation Controller by completing the procedures for installation and domain creation as described in the chapter in Oracle Communications Service Broker Installation Guide.

A typical Online Mediation Controller implementation may also contain the following components:

An online charging system (OCS) such as Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management (BRM) or Oracle Communications Elastic Charging Engine (ECE).
Network components or simulators that generate traffic for Online Mediation Controller to mediate.
An internal or external data source functioning as a subscriber store.
A client workstation containing a supported Web browser and other development tools such as a MBean browser or other test tools.

Installing and Deinstalling Online Mediation Controller

Online Mediation Controller is a Service Broker component installed by selecting the Online Mediation Controller 6.1.0.0 option during installation. For details on installing and deinstalling Online Mediation Controller, see Oracle Communications Service Broker Installation Guide.

Creating Domains, and Managed and Administration Servers

An Online Mediation Controller implementation must have an Administration Server and one or more Managed Servers in the same domain. A single Online Mediation Controller node can contain both one Administration Server and one Managed Server. The Online Mediation Controller installation includes domain configuration scripts. See the chapter on setting up domains in the Oracle Communications Service Broker Installation Guide, for more information.

The system topology required by your implementation needs differs depending on intended Online Mediation Controller use. For example, configure a basic development system with the Administration Console and Online Mediation Controller processing and signalling domains on the same physical server in a unified domain. Production systems may include multiple managed servers for load balancing and separate domains for processing and signalling. For additional information on configuring Online Mediation Controller domains and servers, see Oracle Communications Service Broker Administrator's Guide.
