6 Mapping Custom Server Names

This chapter describes how to map custom server names to names patterns required by Oracle Communications Service Controller.

About Server Names

Processing Domain server names must use this format:

For Signaling Servers: ssu_server_number. For example, the following names are valid: ssu_1, ssu_2, ssu_3.
For Processing Servers: pn_server_number. For example, the following names are valid: pn_1, pn_2, pn_3.

During the installation, if you specified custom server names that do not follow these patterns, you need to map each custom server name to a name that follows the standard format as described above.

Mapping Custom Server Names to Service Controller Standard Names

You map server names using ServersMBean.

Figure 6-1 shows the ServersMBean hierarchy. ServersMBean might contain multiple instances of ServerMBean. Each instance of ServerMBean represents a single server whose name you want to map.

Figure 6-1 ServersMBean Hierarchy

To map a custom server name to a Service Controller standard name:

Create an instance of ServerMBean by invoking the following operation of ServersMBean:
```
ObjectName createServer()
```
Set the ManagedServerName attribute of ServerMBean to the custom server name that you specified during the installation.
Set the SbServerName attribute of ServerMBean to a standard Service Controller name.

See "Servers MBean" and "Server MBean" for more information.

Servers MBean

ServersMBean is a root MBean for configuration of mapping between custom names that you specify for Signaling and Processing Servers and server names that follow the patterns required by Service Controller.

Factory Method

Created automatically.

Attributes

string Name: Specifies a name of the mapping configuration

int MaxServerNumber: Specifies a maximum number of servers whose names are to be mapped

Operations

ObjectName createServer()

Creates an instance of ServerMBean

void destroyServer()

Destroys an instance of ServerMBean

ObjectName[] getServer()

Gets an array of references to instances of ServerMBean

ObjectName lookupServer()

Returns a specified instance of ServerMBean

Server MBean

Using ServerMBean, you can map a custom name of one server to a server name which follows the pattern required by Service Controller.

Factory Method

Servers.createServer()

Attributes

string ManagedServerName: Specifies the custom server name that you specified during server installation.

string SbServerName: Specifies a name that follows the pattern required by Service Controller.

string SbServerId: Specifies a unique ID that the server uses when generating TCAP messages. The ID must be unique across all domains.

Operations

None
