My MATRIXX Configuration

During charging configuration in My MATRIXX, pricing administrators can configure prerating callout actions that define the queries to send to the LDAP server.

Pricing administrators define prerating queries for LDAP callout services by configuring the following prerating data:
  • LDAP Call Out Actions — A prerating callout action that defines LDAP callout request properties, such as the following:
    • The LDAP server to query.
    • The LDAP request string.
    • The custom MATRIXX Data Container (MDC) type to use to hold the request data, and the number of seconds to wait for a response before timing out.
  • Data Modify Actions — A data modify action defines how to manipulate a field value in the following MATRIXX Data Containers (MDCs) before the message is passed to rating:
    • MtxDiamRoMsg or MtxTcapMsg MDCs, or descendant of these MDCs.
    • MtxLdapRequestDataExtension MDC, or its descendants. You can use this data modify action type to set LDAP call out request fields.
    You can use a data modify action to:
    • Delete a field value in the destination MDC.
    • Replace a field value in the destination MDC with a constant.
    • Copy a field value from the source MDC to a field in the destination MDC. You can use the following source MDCs: MtxDiamRoMsg, MtxTcapMsg, MtxSubscriberObject, MtxLdapResponseDataExtension or a descendant of these MDCs.
  • Profiles — A prerating profile is a collection of prerating callout actions and data modify actions. Rrerating actions can belong to more than one prerating profile.
  • Generators — A prerating generator defines the decision tables to use when determining the LDAP callouts to perform. The results can be a prerating profile or a SKIP value.
  • The service type and service context to associate with each prerating generator.
