Table -1 Oracle Communications Session Delivery Plug-in Documentation Library

Document Name	Description
Session Element Manager User Guide	Provides information for managing and optimizing network infrastructure elements and functions with comprehensive tools and applications used to provision Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security (FCAPS) support for managed network functions and their associated devices in Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager (SDM).
Report Manager User Guide	Provides information about configuring Report Manager to interoperate with Oracle BI Publisher and about creating reports on Session Delivery product network devices.
Report Manager Installation Guide	Provides information for installing the Oracle Communications Report Manager as an addition to SDM including the Oracle database and BI Publisher components. You must add the Oracle Session Delivery product plug-in to Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager before performing the Report Manager installation.
Route Manager User Guide	Provides information for updating Local Route Table (LRT) data on a single device or multiple devices.
Session Element Manager SOAP API Guide	Provides information for the SOAP and XML provisioning Application Programming Interface (API) client and server programing model that enables you to write client applications that automate the provisioning of devices. The web server provides operations that the system can perform on devices managed by the SDM server and data structures used as input and output parameters for such operations.

Table -2 Oracle Communications Session Element Manager Documentation Library

Document Name	Document Description
Administration Guide	Provides the following administration information: Implement ESEM on your network as a standalone server or high availability (HA) server. Login to the ESEM application, access GUI menus including help, customize the ESEM application, and change your password. Access the product plugin service through the GUI to manage product plugin tasks, including how product plugins are uploaded and installed. Manage security, faults, and transport layer security certificates for east-west peer ESEM server communication, and southbound communication with network function (NF) devices. Configure northbound interface (destination) fault trap receivers and configure the heartbeat trap for northbound systems. Monitor ESEM server health to detect heartbeat messages and display the server status to prevent health problems, or view server disk utilization information and server directory statistics. Maintain ESEM server operations, which includes database backup and database restoration and performing server cluster operations. Use available ESEM server scripts, the contents of fault trap notifications, and a list of northbound notification traps generated by the ESEM server.
Installation Guide	Provides the following installation information: Do pre-installation tasks, which include reviewing system requirements, adjusting linux and firewall settings, completing ESEM server settings and configuring your NNCentral account for security reasons. Do the typical installation to perform the minimal configuration required to run the ESEM server. Do the custom installation to perform more advanced configurations including the mail server, cluster management, Route Manager, transport layer security (TLS), and Oracle database configuration.
Release Notes	Contains information about the administration and software configuration of the ESEM feature support new to this release.
Security Guide	Provides the following security guidelines: Use guidelines to perform a secure installation of ESEM on your server, which includes methods for securing the server, firewall settings, system support for encryption and random number generators (RNG), using HTTPS, and password guidelines. Review Security Manager features that are used to configure groups, users, operations, privileges, and manage access to the system. Follow a checklist to securely deploy ESEM on your network and maintain security updates.
REST API Guide	Provides information for the supported REST APIs and how to use the REST API interface. The REST API interface allows a northbound client application, such as a network service orchestrator (NSO), to interact with ESEM and its supported product plugins.
SOAP API Guide	The SOAP API guide provides information for the SOAP and XML provisioning Application Programming Interface (API) client and server programing model that enables users to write client applications that automate the provisioning of devices. The web service consists of operations that can be performed on devices managed by the SDM server and data structures that are used as input and output parameters for these operations.
