MPs

A Diameter Agent Message Processor (DA-MP) is a computer or blade hosting the Diameter base protocol and one or more DSR Applications. Multiple DA-MPs are supported in a DSR system.

An SS7 Message Processor (SS7-MP) is a computer or blade hosting the MD-IWF SS7/TCAP Application that is used in translating MAP Request messages to Diameter Request messages.

An MP Profile defines maximum and threshold values for an MP. An MP Profile must be assigned to each DA-MP and SS7-MP in the system configuration. Select the appropriate MP Profile according to the hardware and application or applications that are running on the MP, as shown in Table 1. The only supported combination of session and database applications running on the same DA-MP is PCA and RBAR.

Note: The profiles listed here and that appear on the MPs GUI pages might not include all of the profiles that are available for all Oracle Communications products. Product-specific profiles and instructions for assigning them are included in the Installation Guide for each product.

MPs Profiles Elements describes the user-configurable and engineering-configured values in an MP Profile.

Note: The Ingress Message Rate Alarm Threshold values for the PCA application are user-configurable on the NOAM Policy and Charging > Configuration > Congestion Options GUI page; they are not shown in MPs Profiles Elements.
