6.2.1 Policy Database Query

Use the Policy and Charging, Maintenance, and Policy Database Query screen to enter a value for an individual query for a specified binding key. The tool queries the Binding database to determine if the binding key exists.
  • If the binding key exists, a report is generated that includes the PCRF that the key is bound to and information about which Diameter session or sessions are associated with that binding key.

    The returned session information includes all other binding keys that were included in the session, the session creation time, and the session last touched time.

  • If the queried binding key does not exist, an error message is displayed..

Note:

  • The Policy Database Query tool can be used only with Gx sessions. It is not applicable to Rx sessions.
  • Port 8192 must be open or whitelisted for the SBR Query GUI to work appropriately. NOAM needs to communicate with the SBRs through 8192 port.

The fields are described in Policy Database Query elements.

  1. On the Active NOAM, click Policy and Charging, Maintenance, andPolicy Database Query.
  2. Select the Binding Key Type in the drop down list.
  3. Enter the Binding Key value.
  4. Click Search.

To enter another query, click Clear, select and enter the values for the new search.
