Configuring the Rf Application

The Rf API is packaged as a Diameter application similar to the Sh application used for managing profile data. The Rf Diameter API can be configured and enabled by editing the Diameter configuration file located in Domain_Home/config/custom/diameter.xml, or by using the Diameter console extension. Additionally, configuration of both the CDF realm and host can be specified using the cdf.realm and cdf.host initialization parameters to the Diameter Rf application.

Example 3-3 shows a sample excerpt from diameter.xml that enables Rf with a CDF realm of "example.com" and host "cdf.example.com:"

Example 3-3 Sample Rf Application Configuration (diameter.xml)

  <application>
    <name>rfcharging</name>
    <class-name>com.bea.wcp.diameter.charging.RfApplication</class-name>
    <param>
      <name>cdf.realm</name>
      <value>example.com</value>
    </param>
    <param>
      <name>cdf.host</name>
      <value>cdf.example.com</value>
    </param>
  </application>

Because the RfApplication uses the Diameter base accounting messages, its Diameter application id is 3 and there is no vendor ID.
