Session Delivery Manager Product Plug-in Service

A product plugin is used to activate Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager to provide fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security (FCAPS) for devices, and control communications with network elements over secure protocols.

OCSDM has limited functionality until a plugin is uploaded and installed in OCSDM. Product functionality activated by the plugin in the OCSDM GUI is specific to what the plugin supports. For example, if you see a drop-down menu, field or checkbox that cannot be accessed, the plugin does not support this functionality in the GUI.

Use the plugin service in Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager to install the product plugin. More than one product plugin can be installed on OCSDM at the same time, and the functionality of the plugin(s) is propagated to other OCSDM nodes in a clustered environment. The following example shows how the Service Prover and Enterprise product plugins provide their respective devices access to Session Element Manager, Report Manager and Route Manager.
