How to Configure RAR Support in NCC (Doc ID 2894460.1)

Last updated on APRIL 16, 2024

Applies to:

Oracle Communications Network Charging and Control - Version 12.0.0.0.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

As of version 12.0.0.0 of Oracle Communications Network Charging and Control (OCNCC or NCC), Diameter Re-Authorization Requests (RARs) are now supported in Diameter Control Agent (DCA) with the Voucher and Wallet Server (VWS).

To quote the 12.0.0.0 Release Notes, with this new feature:

... ongoing Diameter sessions will now be informed of certain "out-of-band" events, such as voucher balance top-ups or depletions, which may affect obtainable reservation durations. The client (by means of a server-initiated RAR message) will be prompted to resubmit a new CCR-UPDATE.

Diameter Control Agent (DCA) has been enhanced with capabilities to initiate RAR and process incoming RAA and CCR-U response sequences.

 How to exactly implement this feature is a little unclear in the documentation so this article will supplement the documentation to try to clarify this.
