Elements of Oracle Communications Unified Session Manager Configuration

Oracle Communications Unified Session Manager consists of multiple configuration elements. This guide presents these elements, separating them along conceptual category with chapters roughly equating to configuration sequence. This section lists configuration elements, providing the reader with a consolidated picture of overall product configuration.

Oracle documents this product using an Essentials model, which results in a unique OCCSM Essentials Guide document, and refers to the OCSBC Documentation Set for additional, related components, features and procedures. The documentation set, listed in the front matter of this document, provides configuration information across all session control products. The OCUSM and OCCSM filter out configuration elements, sub-elements and parameters that do not apply to themselves, preventing you from performing invalid configuration procedures.

See the Base Configuration Elements Appendix for minimal configuration setting examples that establish an operable Oracle Communications Unified Session Manager.
