Connect / Disconnect
The ConnectDisconnect composite is responsible for starting and stopping the recording of usage data for a meter.
Composite Properties
Property Name
Default Value
Description
CB_​CDCallbackEndpoint
http://[SERVER_​NAME]/soa-infra/services/DG/ConnectDisconnect/CB_​ServerService
The default endpoint to which MultiSpeak should send the asynchronous CB_​Server callback.
isExecutingCDReceivedCallout
true
Controls whether the Request Received callout executes.
isExecutingCDCompletedCallout
true
Controls whether the Request Received Completed callout executes.
isExecutingCDStatesChangedArrivedCallout
true
Controls whether the CD States Changed Notification arrival callout executes.
CallbackTimeoutYears
0
The number of years to await a response from the MultiSpeak server. This property only takes effect when the expTime element is not supplied in the input to the service.
CallbackTimeoutMonths
0
The number of months to await a response from the MultiSpeak server. This property only takes effect when the expTime element is not supplied in the input to the service.
CallbackTimeoutDays
0
The number of days to await a response from the MultiSpeak server. This property only takes effect when the expTime element is not supplied in the input to the service.
CallbackTimeoutHours
0
The number of hours to await a response from the MultiSpeak server. This property only takes effect when the expTime element is not supplied in the input to the service.
CallbackTimeoutMinutes
0
The number of minutes to await a response from the MultiSpeak server. This property only takes effect when the expTime element is not supplied in the input to the service.
CallbackTimeoutSeconds
45
The number of seconds to await a response from the MultiSpeak server. This property only takes effect when the expTime element is not supplied in the input to the service.
Composite WSDLs
Composite
Description
ConnectDisconnectService
Entry point for the ConnectDisconnect operation. After a synchronous reply, further updates will be sent to the specified location asynchronously using DG-ConnectDisconnectStateChgNotification.
CB_​ServerService
MultiSpeak WSDL hosted to receive asynchronous CDStatesChangedNotification callbacks from the head end system.
CB_​ServerCallout
Reference describing the process callout used when the asynchronous callback from the head end system arrives.
CD_​ServerCallout
Reference describing the process callout.
CD_​ServerProxy
Reference describing the proxy used to invoke the head end system.
AuxiliaryRoutines
Reference to common helper routines in the Common composite.
DG-ConnectDisconnectStateChgNotification
A reference to an inbound web service capable of processing asynchronous results from a Connect/Disconnect request.
Process Flow
1. SGG/OUAF invokes InitiateConnectDisconnect operation using ConnectDisconnectService.
2. Composite properties are loaded and local variables are initialized.
3. Test whether the input includes a expiration time
◦ If Yes: Use AuxilaryRoutines to compute timeout.
◦ If No: Use composite properties and AuxiliaryRoutines to compute expiration time.
4. Both the Header and Body inputs are transformed to MultiSpeak format.
5. If required, execute a process callout in CD_​ServerCallout. Assign updated data to head end request.
6. Add a callback URL to the head end request. This is the endpoint the head end will use to send the results.
7. Invoke InitiateConnectDisconnect via the CD_​ServerProxy to the head end system.
8. If required, execute a process callout in CD_​ServerCallout. Assign updated data to head end response.
9. Transform Header and Body head end responses to SGG/OUAF format.
10. Reply to SGG/OUAF with synchronous results.
11. Check for ErrorObject in the head end response.
12. If error object not found:
Await asynchronous response from head-end system for the period of expiration time calculated during start of this flow:
◦ Receive CDStatesChangeNotification from CB_​ServiceService.
◦ Generate reply with no errors for CDStatesChangeNotification
◦ Synchronously reply to the head end.
◦ If required, execute a process callout in CB_​ServerCallout. Assign updated data to the incoming request.
◦ Transform Header and Body of incoming request to OUAF inbound web service format described in DG-ConnectDisconnectStateChgNotification.
◦ If request contains responseURL
▪ Invoke the inbound web service on given responseURL with the transformed incoming request.
◦ Else
▪ Invoke the inbound web service on definedURL with the transformed incoming request.
