Recovery

1. Check Early binding Processing with PCRF Pool in the Error Resolution appendix of the Policy and Charging Application User Guide to investigate and understand the circumstances where the error occurs.
2. Go to the PCA SOAM GUI at Main Menu, and then Status & Manage, and then Server to obtain the Policy DRA DA-MP and binding SBR status.
3. Go to the Main Menu, and then Alarms & Events, and then View History to obtain the congestion alarm/event for Policy DRA DA-MP and/or binding SBR, if congestion occurs. Some congestion conditions may be released after a short while. The error may not persist after the congestion condition is gone.
4. Get the measurement report from Main Menu, and then Measurements, and then Report for, but not limited to, "SBR Binding Exception" and "Policy DRA Congestion" Measurement Groups.
5. Go to PCA NOAM GUI at Main Menu, and then Policy and Charging, and then Configuration, and then Policy DRA, and then Network-Wide Options to check the Maximum Early Binding Lifetime value. Re-configure the value if necessary.

   Note:

   The measurement SbrEarlyTooLongSrRemoved indicates the frequency at which binding sessionRefs are discovered in an early state for longer than expected. This unexpected condition could occur if the binding SBR was in congestion and load shedding prevented the session from being transitioned from the early state to a final state. It could also occur if the Maximum Early Binding Lifetime value is configured to be nearly equal to or shorter than the Diameter transaction timer.
