IMS Charging Vector Mode Adaptation

This adaptation to the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller’s IMS functionality provides the ability to remove the P-Charging-Vector from incoming requests for a session and store it. Then the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller inserts it into outbound responses related to that session in a P-Charging-Vector header.

IMS Charging Vector Mode Configuration

Typically, the ACLI charging-vector-mode parameter is set to delete-and-respond (which supports removing and storing the P-Charging-Vector for later insertion in outbound response) on the core, trusted interface. On the access, untrusted side, this same parameter is set to insert.

1. In Superuser mode, type configure terminal and press Enter.

   ORACLE# configure terminal
   ORACLE(configure)#

2. Type session-router and press Enter.

   ORACLE(configure)# session-router
   ORACLE(session-router)#

3. Type sip-interface and press Enter. If you are adding this feature to a pre-existing SIP interface, you need to select and edit that configuration.

   ORACLE(session-router)# sip-interface
   ORACLE(sip-interface)#

4. charging-vector-mode—Change this parameter to delete-and-respond to remove the P-Charging-Vector from incoming requests for a session and store it. Then the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller inserts it into outbound responses related to that session in a P-Charging-Vector header.
5. Save and activate your configuration.
