General Options

On the Policy and Charging > Configuration > General Options page on an Active NOAM, 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.

The fields are described in General Options elements.

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.

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 Binding Audit Session Query Rate, which is the maximum rate at which a binding SBR can send query messages to session servers to verify that sessions are still valid.
• Change the Audit Operation Rate

  For session SBRs – the maximum rate at which Diameter sessions are checked for staleness.

  For binding SBRs – the maximum rate at which binding session references are examined, if not already throttled by the Binding Audit Session Query Rate.
