On the

General Options can be configured:
Note: General Options is also available to be viewed on the SOAM. However, these options are only able to be sorted and filtered on the SOAM. Modifying these options is only permissible on the NOAM.
- General Options
- Indicate whether or not the Policy DRA function of PCA is enabled.
- Indicate whether or not the Online Charging DRA Function of PCA is enabled.
- Set the number of Policy and Charging SBR Server Groups that will host the Policy Binding database.
- Set the number of Policy and Charging SBR Server Groups that will host the Policy and Charging Session database in mated sites
- Audit Options
- Change the Default Stale Session Timeout value to a value other than the default value in the field.
This setting is a time value (in hours), after which a session is considered to be stale. For PDRA, a session is considered stale only if no RAR/RAA messages are received in longer than this configured time. For OCDRA, a session is considered stale if no any in session messages are received in longer than this configured time. If a session's age exceeds this value, that session is eligible to be audited out of the database.
This value is only used if a session is not associated with a configured Access Point Name in the Access Point Names configuration table. For sessions that are associated with a configured Access Point Name, the appropriate Stale Session value in the Access Point Name configuration table is used.
- Change the Maximum Audit Frequency default value to a different number of records per second for auditing the SBR database.
The fields are described in General Options elements.
