Routing Fields

Clicking the Route icon displays the route list. Note the Route Tree widget displayed by default at the bottom of the route list. This widget provides a graphical depiction of the route selected in the list.

To add routes, click Add. The Oracle Enterprise Communications Broker displays the Add routing entry fields.

Note:

The routing engine finds the optimum route based on the Source and Destination agents. Oracle recommends avoiding wild cards in both Source and Destination Agents. When these values are configured as wild cards, the ECB must check the entire routing table for a match and this negatively impacts performance.

The following list describes the fields available in the Add dialog and the corresponding configuration instructions.

Source agent	Select the agent from which the traffic must come to match the route. The default is the wildcard *, meaning to match traffic from any agent.
Calling number	Type in the number from which the traffic must come to match the route. A valid entry includes numeric characters or an FQDN resolvable through ENUM. The default is the wildcard *, meaning to match traffic with any calling number.
Dest agent	Select the agent to which the traffic must be targeted to match the route. The default is the wildcard *, meaning to match traffic to any agent.
Called number	Type in the number to which the traffic is targeted to match the route. A valid entry includes numeric characters or an FQDN resolvable through ENUM. The default is the wildcard *, meaning to match traffic with any called number.
Route	Select the agent that is the next hop in the route path.
Cost	Enter a cost associated with this route to specify route use preference when there are multiple routes to the same destination. A valid entry is numeric ranging from 0 to 100, with the lowest number (cost) being the preferred route.
Description	Enter any descriptive text you find helpful in identifying this route.
Tags	Enter any text that you want into the Tags field. You can apply as many labels to a configuration object as you want. You can create and filter reports using tags as a means of organizing these objects. The Tags field provides a list box with Add, Edit, and Delete controls that allow you to configure individual tags.
