New Features

New and Improved User Experience Enabled by OJET

The user interface of OCSM 5.0 has been transformed to improve user experience using the OJET GUI Framework. The new user interface does not change the functionality, but only provides an interactive new look and feel.

Note:

The user interface for Mediation Engine Connector has not been changed to reflect OJET features.

Inclusive Terminology

Staying consistent with the Oracle-wide initiative to have a more inclusive and a culturally sensitive usage of terminologies across all software products, the OCSM 5.0 GUI, product documentation and marketing collaterals have been updated. We are moving away from the usage of terminologies such as 'Blacklist' and 'Whitelist'. You will now see the usage of inclusive terminology such as 'Blocklist' and 'Allowlist'.

Support for Monitoring Non-Call Events (Presence)

OCSM 5.0 supports monitoring of non-call events such as - Subscribe, Notify, and Publish. Non-call events form a critical part of network transactions and can impact the network performance. This feature enhances the level of information a user can access to identify and troubleshoot network issues. It also helps you debug issues related to non-call messages.

Note:

Monitoring of SIP MESSAGE and OPTIONS are not supported in this release.

A new page - Subscriptions has been added to OCSM 5.0. Using this page, you can monitor presence events for:

Calls
Alerts
KPI definition
User Tracking
Devices
IP Tracking

For more information, see the Subscriptions section in the Operations Monitor 5.0 User's Guide.

KPI Enhancements

This feature provides options to select only the required KPIs for a device or tag type, and to avoid the creation of unwanted and redundant KPIs by introducing templates. This enhancement provides an option to remove duplicate platform-wide KPIs created by multiple users with the Delete Common KPI option.

You can now choose to apply KPIs for a device or tag type using the Default KPI template or the Custom KPI Template. The admin user can now manage the unwanted KPI creation by assigning users with the four new permissions - KPI Management, Expand KPI, Shrink KPI, and View common KPI from other users. For more information, see the KPI Enhancements section in the Operations Monitor 5.0 User's Guide.

Support for Displaying Custom Logo on the User Interface

You can now select a custom logo file to be displayed on the application header using the Custom logo for application header option. You can upload and also customize the logo using different alignment positions.

Fraud Monitor Enhancements

Expiry Timer Enhancement
This features allows you to set the Never Expire option for the expiry timer that never expires for subscribers added to the Blocklist, Rate limit, Redirect, and Allowlist lists.
Rule Broken Enhancement
The Rule Broken column displays the name of the rule that was broken or violated for an incident in the Fraud Monitor Incidents page.
Comments on the Incident tab
This feature enables you to add, edit, search, and delete comments for incidents. This feature helps the Fraud detection team know if an action needs to taken over an incident by providing comments for a single or multiple incidents.

BICC Support

You can now distinguish between ISUP and BICC messages by the protocol name looking at the Ladder Diagram section. To enable the capture of BICC messages, enable SIP/ISUP from the Signaling Protocols page in PSA.
