Release configuration settings allow the MRA to release active subscribers and remove their bindings. These settings allow a task to be started that iterates through the bindings in the database and sends RARs for each session contained in each binding. These RARs indicate a session release cause, triggering the PGW/HSGW to terminate the corresponding sessions. Upon receiving a message to terminate the session, the MRA removes the session from the binding, and when the binding no longer has any associated sessions, the session is removed. Any new sessions are redirected to the active MRA.
The release configurable variables are:
Indicates whether the binding release task is started. Valid values are TRUE or FALSE; the default is FALSE. Setting this to FALSE stops the release process.
The rate (in RARs/sec) at which the release task queues RAR messages to be sent; they will be evenly spread across the entire second. Valid values are a positive integer; default is 250. Setting this to a negative integer stops the release process.
Indicates if the release task removes the session information from the binding as soon as it is processed by the release task, or if it waits until it receives a CCR-T before updating the binding. Valid values are TRUE or FALSE; the default is FALSE.
Internal flag used by the release task to indicate if it has completed. Values are TRUE or FALSE; the default is FALSE
.This value indicates the origin host to use when sending RARs initiated by the release task. Valid values are MPE or MRA; the default is MPE.
