ItemDescription

Protocol

Enter the protocol type that you want the agent to use: Either TCP or UDP. For further information see Limitations - GTP' Transported Over TCP in 9.3637.5 GTP' Agent MZSH Commands, Events and Limitations.

Port

Enter the port through which the agent should await incoming data packages. This port must be located on the host where the EC is running.

Default value is 3386.

Note
titleNote!

Two workflows that are running on the same EC, can subscribe to the same Port and GSNs, if they use different  Protocol settings.


Accept any

Select this check box if you want the agent to accept any source endpoint (IP-address:port).

If you select this option, the GSN Address list needs to be empty.

GSN IP Address

The IP addresses or hostnames of the GSN nodes that provide the data.

Server Port

Enter the server port number for each node. The agent will detect GGSN source port changes via the Node Alive Request or Echo Request messages. If a change is detected, it is is registered in the System Log. The agent's internal configuration is updated.

...

The Miscellaneous tab includes collected format and storage settings of the data that is collected by the agent.

ItemDescription

Format

Must match the Data Record Format in Data Record Packet IE. This is applicable if the Packet Transfer Command is either Send Data Record Packet or Send possibly duplicated Data Record Packet.

Perform Format Version Check

When checked, the Data Record Format Version in Data Record Packet IE must be identical to the setting in Format Version.

Format Version

Must match the Data Record Format Version in Data Record Packet IE. This is applicable if the Packet Transfer Command is Send Data Record Packet or Send possibly duplicated Data Record Packet.

Directory

Enter either the relative pathname to the home directory of the user account, or an absolute pathname of the target directory in the file system on the local host, where the intermediate data for the collection is stored.

The intermediate data includes:

  • • Files that keep track of sequence numbers and restart values

  • • A directory called duplicates, where duplicates are saved.

    Note
    titleNote!

    This directory must be attended to manually.


    Note
    titleNote!

    When using several ECs, make sure that the file system that contains the GTP' information is mounted on all ECs.


Acknowledgement from APL

Check to enable acknowledgement from the APL module that follows the GTP' agent. This way the GTP' agent will expect a feedback route from the APL module, as well. No GTP packets will be acknowledged before all the data that is emitted into the workflow is routed back to the collector. Controlling acknowledgement from APL enables you to make sure that data is transmitted complete.

Clear this check box if you want the agent to acknowledge incoming packets before any data is routed into the workflow.

No Private Extension

Check to remove the private extension from any of the agent's output messages.

Use seq num of Cancel/Release req

Check to change the type of the sequence numbers that are populated in a Data Record Transfer Response to either Release Data Record Packet, or Cancel Data Record Packet, in the Requests Responded field. Otherwise, the agent applies the sequence number of the released, or cancelled, Data Record Packet.

ItemDescription

Decoder

Click Browse and select a pre-defined decoder. These decoders are defined in the Ultra Format Editor, and are named according to the following syntax:

<decoder> (<module>)

The option MZ Format Tagged UDRs indicate that the expected UDRs are stored in the the Image Added specific format. Select this option to make the Tagged UDR Type list accessible for configuration.

Tagged UDR Type

Click Browse and select a pre-defined Tagged UDR Type. These UDR types are stored in the Ultra and Code servers. The naming format is:

<internal>(<module>)

If the decoder is intended to reprocess UDRs of an internal format, the Decoder MZ format tagged UDRs has to be selected enabling this list. Once enabled, the internal format must be selected.

Full Decode

Select this check box to enable full decoding of the UDR, before it enters the workflow. This, in turn, might reduce performance rate.

Leave this check box empty to minimize decoding work in the agent. By leaving this check-box empty, you postpone decoding, and discovery of corrupt data to a later phase in the workflow.
