Application Routing Rules Configuration Elements
Field (* indicates required field)	Description	Data Input Notes
* Rule Name	Name of the Application Routing Rule. The Name must be unique.	Format: text box; case-sensitive; alphanumeric and underscore (_); cannot start with a digit and must contain at least one alpha (A-Z, a-z) Range: 1 - 32 characters
* Application Route Table	Application Route Table associated with this Rule.	View Only
* Priority	Priority of the Rule in relation to other Rules. The lower the Priority number, the higher a Priority a Application Routing Rule will have. That is, the Application Routing Rule with a Priority set to 1 has first priority, the Application Routing Rule with a Priority set to 2 has second priority, and so on.	Format: text box; numeric Range: 1 - 99
* Conditions	Conditions associated with this Rule. Each condition has three parts: Parameter Operator Value
	Parameter: Destination-Realm Destination-Host Application-ID Command-Code Origin-Realm Origin-Host	Format: Operator and Value for each Parameter
	Operator Sets the relationship between the Parameter and the Value. For example, if the Operator is set to Equals then the Diameter message Parameter must match the set Value.	Format: Pulldown list Range: See Application Routing Rule operators for a description of operators available for each parameter. Default: "-Select-"
	Value The value in the Diameter message that the Application Routing Rule uses to determine a match. The Value field is required when the Operator is "Equals", "Starts With", and "Ends With". The Value field is disabled for the Operators "Present", "Absent", and "Always True".	Format: text box or pulldown list Destination-Realm and Origin-Realm: text box; case-insensitive string consisting of a list of labels separated by dots, where a label may contain letters, digits, dashes ('-') and underscore ('_'). A label must start with a letter, digit or underscore and must end with a letter or digit. Underscores may be used only as the first character. A label can be at most 63 characters long and a Realm cab be at most 255 characters long. Destination-Host and Origin-Host (FQDN): text box; case-insensitive string consisting of a list of labels separated by dots, where a label may contain letters, digits, dashes ('-') and underscore ('_'). A label must start with a letter, digit or underscore and must end with a letter or digit. Underscores may be used only as the first character. A label can be at most 63 characters long and a FQDN can be at most 255 characters long. Application-ID: pulldown list of configured Application Ids Command-Code: pulldown list of configured Command Codes, including Extended Command-Code (ECC) immediately after their parent Command-Code Note: An ECC is a Command Code that also takes into account the value of a specific AVP for that Command Code that gives the "true" command type (for example, CCR-I, CCR-U, and so on). Range: One or more Parameters with Operator and Value for each Parameter Default for Application-Id and Command Code: "-Select-"
Action	The action that will happen if the Diameter message matches the conditions set in the Application Routing Rule: Route to Application: routes a message to an Application associated with this Rule. Forward To Egress Routing: forward the message to PRT to route to Peer Send Answer: send and answer response containing the required Result-Code and optional Vendor Id and Answer Error Message associated with the application routing rule Abandon With No Answer: abandon message routing without sending an Answer response to external peer.	Format: selection box Range: Route to Application, Forward to Egress Routing, Send Answer, and Abandon With No Answer Default: Route to Application
Answer Result-Code Value	The value to be placed in the Result-Code AVP of the Answer message. A Diameter answer code is required if the Action is set to Send Answer.	Format: selection box radio button for pulldown list; radio button for text box Range: 1000 - 5999 Default: none
Vendor Id	The value to be placed in the Vendor Id AVP	Format: text box; digits only Range: 0 - 4294967295 Default: none
Answer Error Message	String to be placed in the Error-Message AVP of the Answer message	Format: text box; case-sensitive; alphanumeric and underscore (_); cannot start with a digit and must contain at least one alpha (A-Z, a-z) Range: 0 - 64 Default: null, no Error-Message AVP in Answer message
* Application Name	DSR Application Name associated with this Rule.	Format: pulldown list Range: All activated DSR Applications Default: "-Select-"
Gx-Prime	If this Rule matches a Request, Policy DRA treats the Request's Diameter Application as Gx-Prime.	Check box
