Session Delivery Manager Product Plugin Service

A product plugin is used to activate fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security (FCAPS) in Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager. For example, the Session Delivery (SD) product plugin activates Oracle Communications Session Element Manager in SDM for session delivery devices, such as the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller (SBC).

SDM has limited functionality until a plugin is uploaded and installed in SDM. Product functionality activated by the plugin in the SDM GUI is specific to what the plugin supports. For example, if you see a drop-down menu, field or checkbox that cannot be accessed, the plugin does not support this functionality in the GUI.

Use the plugin service in Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager to install the product plugin, which provides different sliders depending on the instructions contained in the product plugin. For example, the Dashboard Manager, Configuration Manager, Performance Manager, Report Manager, and Route Manager sliders appear once the SD plug-in is installed. See the product plug-in documentation for more information about supported sliders.

More than one product plugin can be installed on SDM at the same time, and the functionality of the plugin(s) is propagated to other SDM nodes in a clustered environment. The following example shows how the SD and Enterprise product plugins provide their respective devices access to Session Element Manager, Report Manager and Route Manager.
