17356828, 17305659

When a subscriber does not have a purchased product, rerating a usage event through the rerating pipeline will fail on the real time rating side because no rating product can be found. This will occur even when a system product is available.

This has been fixed. When no purchased product is found, rerating now retrieves the system product if available. Also, the rerating pipeline input mapping is changed because a few fields may be missing for a system product when compared to a normal purchased product.

For Linux, the memory monitoring module was shutting down after reporting that the memory utilization was more than 80% even when more than 80% memory was available. This was because the module was calculating the total available memory by looking at "free" memory. However, for Linux, the total available memory is the sum of free, buffer and cached memory.

The has been fixed. The memory monitoring module now calculates the total available memory using the /proc/meminfo system file.

When the PCM_OP_SUBSCRIPTION_PURCHASE_DEAL opcode is called in the calc-only mode and if the input flist includes the PIN_FLD_CYCLE_END_T field for proration calculation, the PIN_FLD_TOTAL block was not getting populated in the output flist.

17475605, 17597768

The PCM_OP_RATE_POL_GET_TAXCODE policy opcode was not returning the user-defined tax codes from the taxcode map file.

This has been fixed. PCM_OP_RATE_POL_GET_TAXCODE now returns all the tax codes specified in the taxcode map file. Additionally, the opcode accepts PIN_FLD_FLAGS as an optional input parameter to determine which set of taxcodes are returned:

0: Return all taxcodes. This is the default.

1: Return taxcodes that are associated with a tax package only

2: Return taxcodes that are user-defined only.

With the current code and the advance_bill_cycle entry in the pin.conf file, the account creation done on 28th of any month will have a cycle day of month (DOM) as the 2nd of the next month.

3-8034642061

17841884

In the previous releases, processing a service order for a member service was failing because the subscription service was in the CLOSED state.

3-7899039371

17926541

In the previous releases, the performance of the PCM_OP_READ_FLDS opcode was degrading when run for objects with an array and a subarray. The select query for each second-level array was being run multiple times.

In the pipeline_upgrade.cfg file, for the MAIN DB, there was an instruction to specify the main "Portal Base database". This was confusing when separate databases were used for BRM and Pipeline Manager.
