store

Each manipulation rule has the ability to store the data that was contained in the AVP as a string. This is useful for creating conditional logic to make decisions whether to execute other manipulation rules or to duplicate information within the Diameter message.

Every manipulation rule performs an implicit store operation prior to executing the specified action type. All store operations are based on regular expression patterns configured in the match value. The information that is stored in the rule is the resultant of the regular expression applied against the specified string. The comparison-type is ignored when the action is set to store as the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller assumes that the match value is a regular expression. Conditional logic cannot be used to make a decision whether to perform a store operation or not; storing always occurs. Values stored in a manipulation rule are referred to as user defined variables.
