To Create a Diameter Application

Use the create-diameter-application command in remote mode to create a vendor-specific Diameter application. If you do not specify the --target option, the default instance is used. If the task applies to a cluster, the --target option must specify the cluster name.

Before You Begin

The Diameter service must be created before a Diameter application can be created.

1. Ensure that the server is running.

   Remote commands require a running server.

2. Create a Diameter application by using the create-diameter-application(1) command.

   Information about the options and properties of the command is included in this help page.

Example 2–4 Creating a Diameter Application

This example creates a vendor-specific Diameter accounting application that is added to the application set referenced by the ID apps_1. The vendor ID of this application is 10415.

asadmin> create-diameter-application --applicationsid apps_1 --acctappid 300 10415
Command create-diameter-application executed successfully.

You can also view the full syntax and options of the command by typing asadmin help create-diameter-application at the command line.

To Delete a Diameter Application

Use the delete-diameter-application command in remote mode to remove a Diameter application for a specific vendor. If you do not specify the --target option, the default instance is used. If the task applies to a cluster, the --target option must specify the cluster name.

1. Ensure that the server is running.

   Remote commands require a running server.

2. List the Diameter applications in a by using the list-diameter-applications(1) command.

3. Delete a Diameter application by using the delete-diameter-application(1) command.

Example 2–5 Deleting a Diameter Application

asadmin> delete-diameter-application --applicationsid apps_2 2000
Command delete-diameter-application executed successfully.

You can also view the full syntax and options of the command by typing asadmin help delete-diameter-application at the command line.

To Delete a Diameter Application Set

An application set is a place holder that is used to group a set of applications that have different vendor IDs. This helps peers to refer to applications easily. Use the delete-diameter-applications command in remote mode to remove a Diameter application set. If you do not specify the --target option, the default instance is used. If the task applies to a cluster, the --target option must specify the cluster name.

1. Ensure that the server is running.

   Remote commands require a running server.

2. Delete a Diameter application set by using the delete-diameter-applications(1) command.

Example 2–6 Deleting a Diameter Application Set

This examples deletes the application set named apps_2.

asadmin> delete-diameter-applications apps_2
Command delete-diameter-applications executed successfully.

See Also

You can also view the full syntax and options of the command by typing asadmin help delete-diameter-applications at the command line.

To Delete Diameter Accounting Application

Use the delete-diameter-acctapp command in remote mode to delete a Diameter accounting application. If you do not specify the --target option, the default instance is used. If the task applies to a cluster, the --target option must specify the cluster name.

1. Ensure that the server is running.

   Remote commands require a running server.

2. Delete a Diameter accounting application by using the delete-diameter-acctapp(1) command.

3. Restart the server for changes to take effect.

   Use the stop-domain(1) and start-domain(1) commands.

Example 2–7 Deleting a Diameter Accounting Application

This example deletes the accounting application 300.

asadmin> delete-diameter-acctapp --applicationsid apps_1 --vendorid 10415 300
Command delete-diameter-acctapp executed successfully

You can also view the full syntax and options of the command by typing asadmin help delete-diameter-acctapp at the command line.

To Delete a Diameter Authentication Application

Use the delete-diameter-authapp command in remote mode to delete a Diameter authentication application. If you do not specify the --target option, the default instance is used. If the task applies to a cluster, the --target option must specify the cluster name.

1. Ensure that the server is running.

   Remote commands require a running server.

2. Delete a Diameter authentication application by using the delete-diameter-authapp(1) command.

3. Restart the server for changes to take effect.

   Use the stop-domain(1) and start-domain(1) commands.

Example 2–8 Deleting an Authentication Application

This example deletes authentication application 200.

asadmin> delete-diameter-authapp --applicationsid apps_1 --vendorid 10415 200
Command delete-diameter-authapp executed successfully.

You can also view the full syntax and options of the command by typing asadmin help delete-diameter-authapp at the command line.

To List Vendors for a Diameter Application Set

Use the list-diameter-application command in remote mode to list the vendor IDs for a specific Diameter application set. If you do not specify the --target option, the default instance is used. If the task applies to a cluster, the --target option must specify the cluster name.

1. Ensure that the server is running.

   Remote commands require a running server.

2. List vendor IDs for a Diameter application set by using the list-diameter-application(1) command.

Example 2–9 Listing Vendor IDs for a Diameter Application Set

This example lists the vendor IDs for application set apps_1.

asadmin> list-diameter-application apps_1
10415
Command create-diameter-service executed successfully.

See Also

You can also view the full syntax and options of the command by typing asadmin help list-diameter-application at the command line.

To List Diameter Applications

Use the list-diameter-applications command in remote mode to list the Diameter applications in a specific cluster or server instance. If you do not specify the --target option, the default instance is used. If the task applies to a cluster, the --target option must specify the cluster name.

1. Ensure that the server is running.

   Remote commands require a running server.

2. List the Diameter applications in a particular server or cluster by using the list-diameter-applications(1) command.

Example 2–10 Listing Diameter Applications

This example list the Diameter applications on the default instance.

asadmin> list-diameter-applications
apps_1
Command list-diameter-applications executed successfully.
