Goal

Within Oracle Communications Network Charging and Control (NCC/OC-NCC) product, Charging Control Services (CCS) uses GnuPG to produce encrypted voucher and account batch files for printing. The encryption is used to provide security for the vouchers or subscriber accounts the files hold.

In this context, the following scripts from Service Management System (SMS) node (/IN/service_packages/CCS/bin) have to be changed after installation on NCC software in order to set GPG and GPG_HOME environment variables:

ccsAccountWithPrivacy.sh

ccsVoucherStartup.sh

ccsGPGDeletion.sh

ccsGPGImportation.sh

ccsGPGValidation.sh

The problem is that the way GPG and GPG_HOME variables are set within these shell scripts is not consistent - some of them are setting the value for both (ccsGPG*sh scripts), but other are setting only value of GPG (ccsAccountWithPrivacy.sh, ccsVoucherStartup.sh) - see below:

Also, there is no mention in NCC Installation Guide that above mentioned scripts have to be changed in order to set these variables.
