Last updated: Nov 21, 2024

The relevant jar files required for the preparations must be obtained from the SAP CC server provider. The Core SDK jar files can be found in SAP Convergent Charging Installation Materials.

SAP CC Core SDK Jar Files for Version 2023

The following jar files are required by SAP CC agents when using with SAP Convergent Charging server version 2023:

  • common_message.jar
  • common_util.jar
  • core_chargingplan.jar
  • core_chargingprocess.jar
  • core_client.jar
  • jaxb-api-2.3.1.jar
  • jaxb-core-2.3.0.1.jar
  • jaxb-impl-2.3.8.jar
  • logging.jar
  • sap.com~tc~logging~java.jar

Note!

The version of SAP CC Core SDK client JAR files must match the version of your SAP CC core system (i.e.: the backend servers).

From the unpacked SAP Convergent Charging installer, the jar files can typically be found by navigating to the directory and unzipping the core_sdk.zip file located in DATA_UNITS/<CC_VERSION>_TOOLS_CONTENT_UC_OSIND.

Example - Unzip core_sdk.zip

$ unzip DATA_UNITS/CC2023_TOOLS_CONTENT_UC_OSIND/core_sdk.zip -d core_sdk

For the SAP Convergent Charging server patches, the JAR files can typically be found by unpacking the patch file for the SAP CC Core SDK software unit.

Example - Unzip SAP CC Core SDK patch file

$ unzip CORESDK02_0-80008788.ZIP -d core_sdk

Example - Listing SAP CC Core SDK jar files

$ ls -gG core_sdk/jars/

Setting up the jar files

You will need to copy the jar files into the specific persistent storage directory. Refer to Persistent Storage (3.1) for information on setting up persistent storage if you have not or if you would like to know more about the use of persistence in . The following steps will show you how to copy the jar files:

  1. Copy the jar files to the 3pp directory of the persistent storage.

    cp common_message.jar /nfs_share/persistent/3pp
cp common_util.jar /nfs_share/persistent/3pp
cp core_chargingplan.jar /nfs_share/persistent/3pp
cp core_chargingprocess.jar /nfs_share/persistent/3pp
cp core_client.jar /nfs_share/persistent/3pp
cp jaxb-api-2.3.1.jar /nfs_share/persistent/3pp
cp jaxb-core-2.3.0.1.jar /nfs_share/persistent/3pp
cp jaxb-impl-2.3.8.jar /nfs_share/persistent/3pp
cp logging.jar /nfs_share/persistent/3pp
cp sap.com~tc~loggging~java.jar /nfs_share/persistent/3pp

    Info!

    For users of the previous  versions, there will be no need to split it into separate directories for EC and Platform as the Platform and EC will retrieve the file from the same directory.

  2. Commit the changes by restarting the platform pod. The pod should reinitialize not long after.

    kubectl delete pod platform-0 --namespace <namespace name>

Secure Communications via TLS

The agent can be configured for secure communication via TLS. This requires that a keystore be created for each EC host. For more information about setting up secure communication, refer to SAP CC Secured Connection (3.1).

Note!

For SAP CC Online Agent, it is required to add the hostname information of the SAP Convergent Charging Core server Dispatcher Instance(s). This information is needed by the execution content server. The IP address needs to be explicitly mentioned. Refer to the SAP CC Online Agent Configuration(3.1) page.
