Naming Diameter Manipulations

The Oracle Communications Session Border Controller restricts the way you can name a diameter-manipulation rule. Specifically, observe the rules below when naming manipulation elements:

  • Character limit - diameter manipulation rule names cannot be longer than 24 characters.
  • Numeric characters - diameter manipulation rule names must not start with a numeric character.
  • Special characters - Special characters are not supported within diameter manipulation rule names, with the exception of the underscore and hyphen characters.
  • Capital letter characters - The Oracle Communications Session Border Controller includes reserved keywords that are named using all-capital letters. To avoid conflicts between keywords and diameter manipulation rules, do not configure diameter manipulation rule names using ll capital letters.

Note that, although diameter-manip-rule and avp-header-rule names have the same character-type restrictions, they do not have a character limit.
