Creating New Activation Cartridge Projects

You can use the New Studio Activation Cartridge Project wizard to set up Activation Network and Activation Service cartridge projects and to specify cartridge project attributes (vendor, technology, and software load). After you create the cartridge project, you can add additional details using the Project editor.

To create Activation cartridge projects:

  1. From the Studio menu, select Show Design Perspective.

  2. From the Studio menu, select New, then select Project, and then select Activation Cartridge Project.

    The New Studio Activation Cartridge Project wizard appears, displaying the Activation Cartridge Info dialog box.

  3. In the Project name field, enter a name for the project.

  4. (Optional) Select a location for the project.

    By default, Oracle Communications Design Studio saves the project to your default workspace location. To identify a location different from the system-provided default:

    1. Deselect Use default location.

    2. Click Browse.

    3. Navigate to the directory in which to save the project.

    4. Click OK.

  5. In Studio Settings, for Cartridge Type, select Activation Network Cartridge or Activation Service Cartridge, as appropriate.

  6. Select the appropriate target version, and enter the package name.

  7. Click Next.

    The Cartridge Details dialog box appears.

  8. Do any one of the following:

    • For Activation Network cartridge projects, specify the vendor, technology and software load attributes for the cartridge.

      When specifying vendors, for example, you might use its stock symbol, such as ERIC (for Ericsson). Examples of technology include HLR (home location register) and DMS (digital multiplex system). You might represent software loads with the release number and dash combination, such as R11-0.

    • For Activation Service cartridge projects, specify the service and domain attributes for the cartridge.

      Examples of services:

      Service: Prepaid Domain: Mobile, Service: Postpaid Domain: Mobile, Service: Residential Domain: POTS, Service: VPN Domain: IP.

  9. (Optional) Click Next.

    The Create Default Routing Schema dialog box appears. The dialog box appears when for the first time an Activation cartridge project is created in a workspace. A default Data Dictionary containing default routing parameters is created. For example, a default routing parameter like ID_ROUTING for ID Routing type.

  10. (Optional) Click Next.

    You can modify the Java configuration in the Java Settings dialog box. For example, you can add libraries in the Libraries tab (you can decide to change the configuration later).

    If you modified the Java settings, click Finish to save changes and complete the cartridge project.

  11. Click Finish.

    A new Activation Network cartridge project or Activation Service cartridge project appears in the Studio Projects view. The project contains an entity that represents the network cartridge and also has a Documentation group (which provides access to the Cartridge Guide generation feature for documenting the completed cartridge). See "Documenting Cartridges" for more information. Along with the Activation Network cartridge project or Activation Service cartridge project, an ActivationRoutingDictionary project is also created in the view.
