To create a retry profile:
- From the Policy Server section of the navigation pane, select Retry Profile.
The content tree displays the Retry Profile group.
- Select the Retry Profile group.
The Retry Profile Administration page opens in the work area and lists any available retry profiles.
- Click Create Retry Profile.
The New Retry Profile page opens.
- Enter the Name for the profile.
The name can only contain the characters A–Z, a–z, 0–9, period (.), hyphen (-), and underline (_). The maximum length is 255 characters.
- Enter the Description/Location.
Free-form text describing the profile.
- Select the Retry Profile Type from the list:
The available choices are:
- For Wireless:
PCC Retry Profile and ADC Retry Profile (default).
- For Cable and Wireline:
Best Effort — Transmission opportunities are granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Appropriate for upstream service flows such as Web browsing, email, or instant messaging.
- Enter the Maximum Retry Attempt (per Retry Cycle).
The maximum number of retry attempts during a retry cycle in the range from 1 to 10. The default is 5.
- Enter the Initial Retry Interval.
The length of time to wait, in seconds, after a reported failure
or the end of the Back Off Interval before retrying. Enter a value from 0 to 30 seconds. The default is 10 seconds.
Note: To specify a retry immediately after a reported failure, enter 0.
- Enter the Maximum Retry Interval.
The maximum wait, in seconds, after a reported failure or the end of the Back Off Interval before retrying during a retry cycle. Enter a value from 1 to 180 seconds. The default is 60 seconds.
- Enter the Back Off Interval.
The interval from 1 to 86400 seconds between successive retry cycles. The default is 300 seconds.
- Enter the Maximum Retry Cycles.
The number of retry cycles ranging from 1 to 4. The default value is 1 cycle.
- Rule Failure Code
The upper box lists available rule failure codes. The lower box lists rule failure codes installed in the profile.
Note: The failure codes RESOURCES_LIMITATION and RESOURCE_ALLOCATION_FAILURE are installed by default.
- To add a rule failure code to the profile, select it in the upper box and click Add.
- To remove a rule failure code from the profile, select it in the lower box and click Delete.
Note: If the total number of retry attempts (Maximum Retry Attempt multiplied by the Maximum Retry Cycles) exceeds 12, the CMP displays a warning message that the configuration might increase the signaling load in the network and asks if you want to continue with the specified settings.
Note: If the profile does not contain any rule failure codes, the MPE device retries the rule installation regardless of the failure code reported.
- Click Save.
The retry profile is defined in the CMP database and can now be used in a policy.
