2.1 OCNADD Feature Descriptions

Release 25.1.100

Oracle Communications Network Analytics Data Director (OCNADD) 25.1.100 has been updated with the following enhancements:

  • Model D Support: Model D implies indirect communication with delegated discovery, where consumers do not perform discovery or selection. Instead, discovery is delegated to the SCP, which performs discovery via NRF and selects the suitable producer instance based on the parameters sent by the consumer. In Model D, the SCP takes over the entire process of NF discovery and selection. Additionally, the discovery and selection processes are handled in a single request, unlike Model C, which requires two separate requests.

    The SCP Model D support has been added in the following OCNADD features:

    • Message Sequencing
    • dd-metadata-list
    • Correlation

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

  • Alarm UI Enhancement: The Alarm dashboard has been enhanced to improve troubleshooting and diagnostics related to alarms. Users can now apply filters on severity, status, and other columns. For more information, see the Oracle Communications Network Analytics Data Director User Guide.
  • Metadata Enrichment Support for Time Window Mode: Metadata enrichment within the Data Director is now supported for the TIME_WINDOW mode in message sequencing. For more information, see the Oracle Communications Network Analytics Data Director User Guide.
  • Non-Centralized Deployment: Support for non-centralized deployment has been deprecated and removed. The centralized deployment model with a default worker group will replace the non-centralized mode. Customers must upgrade to the centralized deployment mode when upgrading to the 25.1.100 release. For more information, see the Oracle Communications Network Analytics Data Director Install, Upgrade, and Fault Recovery Guide.
  • Message Feed Feature for Oracle PCF: The latest release introduces a message feed feature for Oracle PCF, including support for the following features when Oracle PCF is used as a traffic source for the Data Director:
    • Data Aggregation Rules
    • Data Filtering
    • Message Sequencing
    • Metadata Enrichment
    • Correlation

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

  • Performance Improvements: Performance benchmarks have been added to the benchmarking guide:
