Repository Data Components

A repository data component implements the business logic that decides which data to return from the PCRF for a given set of circumstances. Administrators define the business rules and decisions by creating repository data tables inside the repository data components. You can attach repository data components to product offers to define subsets of Sh data that apply to a product offer.

Each repository data table associates a decision table with a results column. The decision table can consist of zero or more normalizer columns and at least one row for a possible decision. Each index in the table represents a value for a normalized parameter and the result column indicates the policy to apply if the conditions in the row have been met.

Repository data components typically have one policy table that has a balance distribution normalizer set up with one or more parameter values. More complex repository data components based on many variable conditions can contain multiple tables.
