Balance Data

The balance amounts from the balances and meters in subscriber and group wallets are stored in the balance set database.

A balance set contains the reserved balance amount and the gross balance amount for each balance instance in a wallet. Because subscriber balances are updated at a high frequency and often concurrently, storing these quantities in a separate database allows MATRIXX Engine to optimize all operations performed on them.

Subscriber management operations can be performed on balances by using the Subscriber Management (SubMan) APIs. This includes adjusting start and end dates, performing credit and debit adjustments, transferring balance amounts, and forfeiting balances. For more information about managing subscriber and group balances, see the discussion about subscriber data in MATRIXX Subscriber Management API.
