Configurable Intermediate Period

You can set how often the OCSBC generates periodic interim records for H.323 and for SIP.

• H.323—The periodic timer (set to the value you specify in the accounting configuration) is dynamically created when the OCSBC receives a Connect message and an H.323 call answer method is invoked. The OCSBC deletes the timer when the H.323 session is terminated.
• SIP—The periodic timer (set to the value you specify in the accounting configuration) is dynamically created when the OCSBC receives an initial INVITE message. The OCSBC deletes the timer when the session is terminated.

  To set the timer for periodic interim records:

1. In Superuser mode, type configure terminal and press Enter.

   ORACLE# configure terminal

2. Type session-router and press Enter.

   ORACLE(configure)# session-router

3. Type account-config and press Enter.

   ORACLE(session-router)# account-config

4. intermediate-period—Enter amount of time in seconds between generating periodic interim records during a SIP or H.323 call. This parameter defaults to zero, which is not a valid value.
5. Save and activate your configuration.
