User Interaction Announcement Administration

The following sections describe how to administer application announcements:

About user interaction announcements

When an application using a user interaction SC is connected to WebLogic Network Gatekeeper, announcements for the application have to be recorded and installed in the network. Since the announcement ID used in the network SRFs differs from the IDs used in application, a mapping between the IDs has to be performed.

The service provider has to provide lists of announcement ID used by the application.

Preparations

Before the connection can be made, the announcements have to be recorded and installed in the SRF. This is equipment dependant.

Connecting application announcement IDs to SRF IDs

Follow the instruction below to connect an announcement ID used in the application to the ID of the actual announcement installed in the SRF.

When connecting large numbers of announcements to the same SRF, it is recommended to write a batch file performing the translations. See Writing OAM Batch Files.

Start an Network Gatekeeper Management Tool and log in.

Select one of SLEEs where the user interaction service is installed.

Double-click the ESPA_call_userinteraction service.

Double-click the setTranslation method.
