2 Cartridge Pack Overview

This chapter contains an overview of Oracle Communications Offline Mediation Controller Nortel DMS Operational Metrics (OM) cartridge pack.

The Nortel DMS Operational Metrics (OM) cartridge pack provides functionality to gather files containing OM records from various telecom switches using file transfer protocol (FTP). The Offline Mediation Controller OM node chain does not modify OM records. The OM collection cartridge (CC) gathers files from switches and delivers them tone or more remote computers for archival or processing. The OM distribution cartridge (DC) receives DIRP encoded OM files from the CC and transfers these files to downstream applications using FTP Push or Pull.
