3 Background Processes

Overview

Introduction

This chapter explains the processes that are started automatically by Service Logic Execution Environment (SLEE).

Note: This chapter also includes some plug-ins to background processes which do not run independently.

sua_if

Purpose

sua_if is the main binary in the SIGTRAN TCAP Interface, for a SUA installation.

Startup

sua_if is an SLEE Interface and is started during SLEE initialization. The line in the SLEE.cfg which starts the sua_if is: 

INTERFACE=sua_if sua_if.sh /IN/service_packages/SLEE/bin
EVENT

For instructions about starting and stopping sua_if, see Service Logic Execution Environment Technical Guide.

Configuration

sua_if is configured by the:

  • File set by the ESERV_CONFIG_FILE environmental variable (usually this will be sigtran.config)
  • Command line parameters that can also be set in tcapif.def

For more information about configuring this binary, see Configuration Overview .

Output

The sua_if process writes error messages to the system messages file. It also writes additional output to the /IN/service_packages/SLEE/tmp/sigtran.log file.

m3ua_if

Purpose

m3ua_if is the main binary in the SIGTRAN TCAP Interface, for a M3UA installation.

Startup

m3ua_if is an SLEE Interface and is started during SLEE initialization. The line in the SLEE.cfg which starts the m3ua_if is: 

INTERFACE=m3ua_if m3ua_if.sh /IN/service_packages/SLEE/bin
EVENT

For instructions about starting and stopping m3ua_if, see Service Logic Execution Environment Technical Guide.

Configuration

m3ua_if is configured by the:

  • File set by the ESERV_CONFIG_FILE environmental variable (usually this will be sigtran.config)
  • Command line parameters that can also be set in tcapif.def.

For more information about configuring this binary, see Configuration Overview .

Output

The sua_if process writes error messages to the system messages file. It also writes additional output to the /IN/service_packages/SLEE/tmp/sigtran.log file.
