Release 24.3.0

Oracle Communications Network Analytics Data Director (OCNADD) 24.3.0 has been updated with the following enhancements:

  • Message Feed Feature for Oracle BSF: The latest release introduces message feed support for Oracle Communications Cloud Native Core, Binding Support Function (BSF), including the following features where BSF is used as a traffic source for OCNADD:
    • Data Aggregation Rules
    • Data Filtering
    • Message Sequencing
    • Metadata Enrichment
    • Correlation

    For more information, See the Oracle Communications Network Analytics Data Director User Guide.

  • Traffic Segregation Support with OCCNE CNLB: In the current combined stack (OC-CNE, OCNADD, CN BRM/ECE), it is not possible to logically separate IP traffic of different profiles, For example, latency-sensitive traffic from configuration and management traffic, as all traffic is internally handled through a single network (Kubernetes overlay). To avoid network congestion, this feature ensures that these networks (for example, OAM, signaling, and data replication) are never cross-connected or share the same routes on the NFVI provider side. OCNADD now supports traffic segregation for external applications by utilizing OCCNE CNLB capabilities.

    For more information, see "Traffic Segregation using CNLB" section in the Oracle Communications Network Analytics Data Director User Guide.

  • OCCM Migration Simplification: The migration from script-based certificate generation to OCCM-managed certificates has been simplified. Users can now migrate to OCCM-managed certificates by simply upgrading DD with OCCM enabled in custom values.

    For more information, see the Oracle Communications Network Analytics Data Director Install, Upgrade, and Fault Recovery Guide.

  • Enhancements for the PCAP Export: The latest release introduces enhancements to PCAP export, allowing the association of the existing synthetic feed L3/L4 configuration with PCAP-based data export.

    For more information, see "Export" section the Oracle Communications Network Analytics Data Director User Guide.

  • Customization of the cnDBTier Parameters: The latest release introduces customization options for the cnDBTier parameters in OCNADD. A custom values file for the cnDBTier parameters is provided in the OCNADD package.
