This chapter contains information for configuring the supported node chains for Oracle Communications Offline Mediation Controller Nortel GSM/UMTS AMA cartridge pack. To view diagrams of the supported node chains, see "Architecture diagrams".
To configure a chain for G-CDR collection with AMA DIRP file distribution, you must create and configure a DMS-MSC CC and a DMS-MSC AMA DIRP DC, and connect the two nodes using multicast routing.
You must configure the DMS-MSC SDM to send the unprocessed files to this CC. When configuring the G-CDR stream, ensure you configure the DMS-MSC SDM to send files to the configuration input directory on the DMS-MSC CC for this stream. In the DMS-MSC CC node configuration window, on the AMA CC tab, the Input Directory value should match the setting on the DMS-MSC SDM.
In the node configuration window, on the AMA CC tab, select FTP Push.
The AMA DIRP DC can be configured to write all Network Accounting Records (NAR) from one input file to one output file. This one-to-one (1:1) matching applies to GSM version hiding as well.
To activate the file matching feature, click on the File Matching tab in the configuration window and check the Generate File Based on Input File.
Table 7-1 lists the instances where 1-to-1 file matching is supported when the appropriate 1:1 NPL rule file is chosen:
To configure a chain for G-CDR collection with NRTT distribution, you must create and configure a DMS-MSC CC and a DMS-MSC NRTT DC, and connect the two nodes using multicast routing.

In the DMS-MSC CC node configuration window, on the AMA CC tab, the Input Directory value should match the setting on the DMS-MSC SDM. On the DMS-MSC CC node configuration window, on the AMA CC tab, select OpenFTP Push. Connect the DMS-MSC CC to the DMS-MSC AMA DIRP DC using multicast routing.
To configure a stream for processing GHOT active files with AMA DIRP file distribution, on the NRTT CC node configuration window, on the NRTT CC Node tab, the Input directory value should match the setting on the DMS-MSC SDM. Configure the DMS-MSC SDM to send files to the same directory as the one provisioned for the stream to process closed GHOT files. Connect the NRTT CC to the DMS-MSC AMA DIRP DC using multicast routing.

To configure a stream for processing GHOT active files with NRTT distribution, on the NRTT CC node configuration window, on the NRTT CC Node tab, the Input directory value should match the setting on the DMS-MSC SDM. Configure the DMS-MSC SDM to send files to the same directory as the one provisioned for the stream to process closed GHOT files. Connect the NRTT CC to the DMS-MSC NRTT DC using multicast routing.
This node chain contains three streams - one for processing G-CDR files, one for processing closed GHOT files and one for processing active GHOT files.
To configure a stream for G-CDR collection with AMA DIRP file distribution, you must configure the DMS-MSC SDM to send files to the configuration input directory on the DMS-MSC CC for this stream. In the DMS-MSC CC node configuration window, on the AMA CC tab, the Input Directory value should match the setting on the DMS-MSC SDM. On the DMS-MSC CC node configuration window, on the AMA CC tab, select FTP Push.
The DMS-MSC CC to DMS-MSC NRTT DC portion of the node chain processes Closed GHOT files and sends the data to the buffered port of the Hot Billing Centre.
The NRTT CC to DMS-MSC Active GHOT NRTT DC portion of the node chain processes Active GHOT files and sends the data to the active port of the Hot Billing Centre.
You should configure the two GHOT streams if you want a stream to handle active data and a recovery stream to handle data when there is a loss of connectivity with the HOT Billing Centre. You can configure the two GHOT streams to output data to the same HOT Billing Centre server, or to different ones.
Configuration rules for the GHOT streams
In the GHOT streams, configure both the NRTT CC and the DMS-MSC CC to have the same input directory, to ensure the NRTT CC only processes the active files and the DMS-MSC CC only processes the closed files.
Ensure you configure the DMS-MSC SDM to send files to a different directory than the one provisioned for the G-CDR stream. In the DMS-MSC CC node configuration window - on the AMA CC tab, and in the NRTT CC node configuration window - on the NRTT CC tab, the Input Directory value should match the setting on the DMS-MSC SDM.
To configure a recovery stream for GHOT unprocessed file collection, you must configure the DMS-MSC CC to collect and process only the closed files. In the CC node configuration window, on the AMA CC tab, select Open FTP Push.
Use Multicast routing to connect the NRTT CC to the DMS-MSC Active GHOT NRTT DC.
When starting the GHOT streams, start both DCs first, then start the CCs. When stopping the GHOT streams, stop the CCs first, then stop the DCs.
This node chain contains multiple streams to process G-CDR files, closed GHOT files and active GHOT files.
