Redundant Database Subscriber Lookups in NCC/OC3C Convergent Charging Deployments (Doc ID 2171087.1)

Last updated on MARCH 27, 2023

Applies to:

Symptoms

In all versions of Oracle Communications Network Charging and Control (OCNCC or NCC) and Oracle Communications Convergent Charging Controller (OC3C), when deployed as a Convergent Charging solution (with a non-NCC Voucher Wallet Server (VWS)) which does not store subscriber information, a redundant subscriber database lookup is still being performed by the Service Logic Controllers (SLCs) for every request which triggers to the platform.

This unnecessarily adds latency to the overall request, additional CPU usage, and additional database resource usage for a query which will always return no information (because there is no subscriber information on the platform).

Changes

Installation of new OC3C/NCC software as a Convergent Charging solution.
