2.9.3 Adding a Rule to a Rule Set

Use this procedure to define a new rule in a Rule Set.

Note:

The maximum number of provisioned rules per template/rule set depends on the template type. For slow-search templates, which have at least one slow-search condition, the maximum number of provisioned rules is 250. For fast-search templates, the maximum number of provisioned rules is 2000. To determine if the template is a fast-search reference Fast Search versus slow search.

There are two sections of a Diameter, and then Mediation, and then Rule Sets, and then {name} [Insert] page: IF (zero, one, or more Conditions and the condition set of the ANDed, ORed and/or complex expression) and THEN (an Action). For a list of the Rule Template elements that appear in a rule and their definitions, see Rule Template elements.

When a Rule Template is in the Active or Test state, this Rule Template appears as a Rule Set in the Diameter, and then Mediation, and then Rule Sets menu folder. The order in which rules appear on the page determines the order in which the conditions are processed.

  1. Click Diameter, and then Mediation, and then Rule Sets, and then {name}.
  2. Click Insert.
  3. Enter the value for each condition that appears under IF in the Field section for the new rule.
  4. Enter the value for each attribute of the Action that appears under THEN in the Field section for the new rule.
  5. When the rule definition is complete, click:
    • OK to save the new rule and return to the Diameter, and then Mediation, and then Rule Sets, and then {name} page. The rule name appears in the list on the page.
    • Apply to save the new rule and remain on the Diameter, and then Mediation, and then Rule Sets, and then {name} [Insert] page for additional changes.
    • Cancel to return to the Diameter, and then Mediation, and then Rule Sets, and then {name} page without saving the changes.
  6. When the Rule Set definition and testing are complete, go to the Diameter, and then Mediation, and then State & Properties page.
    1. Change the Rule Template State from Test to Active.
    2. Set the Action Error Handling property, if needed.
    The state can be changed to Active after the testing is successful, the Rule Set data is provisioned, the Rule Set is associated with a Trigger, and the Rule Set is ready to use in live traffic.
