This parameter controls the content of the charging answer in the case a session cleanup occurred during a charging request. The same value as for Transaction Set to Return applies here.

Session Time To Live

Defines the default session 'time to live' (in seconds) for the session charging request. This is the time period during which a session is considered active if no updates occurred.

Default Session Resolution

This parameter controls the default session termination to apply when a session has reached its 'time to live'. The session (in fact, the last reservation) could be either: 

• Cancelled - Cancel

• Confirmed - Confirm

Reservation Renewal Listener

Listener Identifier

Identifies the listener that the client binds to in order to receive Reservation Renewal Events. The Listener Identifier registered by an agent must be in the range of 1 to 127. If several agents use the same Listener Identifier the first agent to register will receive the events. If the first agent to register the Listener Identifier becomes unavailable, the second agent to register will receive the events.

Enable Flow Control

This parameter determines if the flow controller is activated or not on the SAP CC Stateful Service Client.

Queue Properties

Queue Size

This parameter controls the maximum number of waiting requests to be executed by the SAP Convergent Charging core server. This is mandatory to make sure that the core server is not flooded with too many requests. Requests that cannot fit in the queue wait until the size reaches the Re-accept Request Threshold parameter explained below.

The value of this parameter depends on:

The total number of incoming requests that can be handled by the available SAP CC  Dispatchers (refer to the description of the SAP CC STATEFUL_SERVICE_QUEUE_SIZE parameter)

The number of SAP CC Stateful Service Clients connected within the different workflows. 

Re-accept Request Threshold

This parameter defines the threshold of the queue below which waiting requests are processed again. This parameter is only relevant when some requests are waiting because the queue has reached its size.

Enable Global Event

Select to send a CC Monitoring Event when the Workflow is stopped.

Enable Spot Event

Select to send a CC Monitoring Event with a configured frequency, see Spot Frequency below.

Spot Frequency

Configure the frequency (in seconds) for how often a CC Monitoring Event shall be sent. Default frequency is every second (1).
