My MATRIXX Help
- About My MATRIXX Help
  My MATRIXX Help provides information about My MATRIXX, a web application that offers a central location for creating pricing plans and configuring MATRIXX charging and rating behaviors. My MATRIXX is intended for pricing administrators who are responsible for creating and maintaining pricing plans and for IT administrators or developers who configure the rating and charging behavior of the online charging system.
- Introducing My MATRIXX
  The following information describes the My MATRIXX interface.
- Using My MATRIXX
  You use My MATRIXX to validate and compile the pricing configuration file, compile pricing, and set up and manage user roles and domains; create and manage catalog items and catalogs, manage eligibility features and rules, and manage the Normalizers interface; create and manage balances, pricing, offers and bundles, general components, and application-related components; and policies for charging and rating. Use General Configuration to create components that support pricing items and charging functionality such as announcements pricing components, attribute definitions, denial codes, products, decision tables, Final Unit Indication (FUI) profiles and generators, general ledger transaction types, notification profiles, normalizer templates, and subscriber information query actions, profiles, and generators.
- Home Menu
  The following information describes the tasks that can be performed using the My MATRIXX Home menu.
- Catalog Configuration
  Catalog Configuration contains the Catalog Items interface that you use to create, change, or delete catalog items; the Eligibility interface to manage eligibility features and rules to determine whether a subscriber, group, or device is eligible for a catalog item; and the Normalizers interface you use to edit normalizers.
- Charging Configuration
  Charging Configuration has the interfaces you use to create and manage balance, pricing, product offer and bundle, general, and application-related components.
  - Balance Configuration
    Balance Configuration contains interfaces you use to create and manage price components including aggregation selectors, balances and balance classes, balance state update profiles and components, meters, and rollover profiles and components.
  - Pricing Configuration
    Pricing Configuration contains interfaces you use to create pricing plan components. Pricing plan components managed through this interface include decision tables, finance and service contracts, filters, price components including charges, discounts, grants, refunds, and forfeitures, and rate tags.
  - Offer and Bundle Configuration
    Offer and Bundle Configuration contains interfaces you use to create and manage pricing and rating components including bundles, offer priority generators, product offers, and product service types and attributes.
  - Normalizer Configuration
    Normalizer Configuration contains interfaces you use to create and manage normalizers, normalizer templates, and normalizer value lists.
  - Tax Configuration
    Tax Configuration contains interfaces you use to create and manage tax classes and selectors, and US taxation. You must have the Manage Tax domain user role to enable this menu.
  - General Configuration
    General Configuration has interfaces you use to create pricing plan components. Pricing plan components managed through this interface include announcements, product and system attributes and definitions, currency codes for rate tables, denial codes, field definitions for use in normalizers and rate tables, Diameter Final-Unit-Indication (FUI) profiles and generators, General Ledger (GL) transaction types and info generators, grace period profiles, languages, notification profiles, parameter definitions, pre/post-rating profiles and generators, SH Repository data, Subscriber Information Query components, tax classes for offer categorization, usage quota profiles and components, purge profiles, virtual fields, and usage triggers.
  - Application Configuration
    Application Configuration components are used by My MATRIXX for creating pricing plan items and are used by MATRIXX Charging Application and MATRIXX Policy Application for charging and rating.
    - Billing Profile Templates
      The bill cycle specification associated with a subscription is retrieved from a predefined billing profile template in the subscription's wallet. The template is created as part of pricing configuration and forces all bill cycle pricing associated with the subscription to be applied with the same cycle settings. Each wallet can contain only one billing profile template, which defines the bill cycle specifications.
    - Currency Codes
      Currency balance classes are identified by an ISO standard currency code. You must define currency codes in My MATRIXX so pricing administrators can select one when creating a currency balance class.
    - Event Lifespan Codes
      The Event Purge utility uses event lifespan codes to determine when an event should be deleted from the Event Repository.
    - Event Mapping
      Subscription, user, group, and device operations, such as a subscription creation, usage refund, or device suspension, have a one-to-one mapping to respective events and define the fields to be included in the Event Detail Record (EDR).
    - Event Types
      MATRIXX Engine supports multiple built-in event types that are defined in a tree hierarchy based on pricing configuration and stored in the pricing database. You can define custom subordinate event types (sub events) for an event type.
    - Field Definitions
      You can add _glossary/mdc.html fields to your pricing plan and use them as a quantity type on which to base rating or to define the tiers used for closed user group normalizers.
    - Inbound Roamer
      In Inbound Roamer, you define the agreements with third-party operators that allow usage and policy requests for subscribers that are not identified in MATRIXX. You can define agreements for roaming requests and emergency requests.
      - Create a Roaming Request
        A roaming request defines the agreement with a third-party operator to allow usage when an inbound roamer is identified.
      - Change a Roaming Request
        You can change any of the roaming request properties.
      - Delete a Roaming Request
        Deleting a roaming request deletes it from the pricing plan.
      - Create a Roaming Identifier
        A roaming identifier identifies a partner agreement by the Mobile Country Code (MCC) and the operator's Mobile Network Code for that MCC. For readability in My MATRIXX, the roaming identifier includes the country name and operator name.
      - Change a Roaming Identifier
        You can change any of the properties of a roaming identifier.
      - Delete a Roaming Identifier
        Deleting a roaming identifier deletes it from the pricing plan.
      - Create an Emergency Request
        An emergency request defines the agreement with a third-party operator to allow usage when an inbound roamer makes a policy or usage request and an emergency identifier is included in that request.
      - Change an Emergency Request
        You can change any of the emergency request properties.
      - Delete an Emergency Request
        Deleting an emergency request deletes it from the pricing plan.
      - Create an Emergency Identifier
        MATRIXX Engine verifies if a partner agreement exists by validating the emergency Access Point Name (APN) value and corresponding roaming configuration. If an agreement exists, the request is allowed. Otherwise, the request is rejected.
      - Change an Emergency Identifier
        You can change the name of an emergency identifier.
      - Delete an Emergency APN
        Deleting an emergency APN deletes it from the pricing plan.
      - Emergency Request Properties
        An emergency request defines the agreement with a third-party operator to allow usage when an inbound roamer makes a policy or usage request and an emergency identifier is included in that request.
      - Roaming Identifier Properties
        A roaming identifier identifies a partner agreement by the Mobile Country Code (MCC) and the operator's Mobile Network Code (MNC) for that MCC. For readability in My MATRIXX, the roaming identifier includes the country name and the operator name.
      - Roaming Request Properties
        An inbound roaming request map includes a Mobile Country Code (MCC)/Mobile Network Code (MNC) key mapped to a pre-provisioned subscription (with a supporting product offer).
    - Notification Types
      In Notification Types you can define which fields from device, subscriber, group, wallet, and session objects are included in notification messages. You can also add filters to a notification type that determine when a notification message should not be sent.
    - Offer Life Cycle Profiles
      An offer life cycle profile consists of a set of offer statuses, a set of policies associated with each offer status that describe behavior that can be executed in this status, and a set of transitions that can have conditions defined that can trigger a transition and actions defined that are executed after the transition is performed. Both offers and bundles can have an offer life cycle profile defined. Use offer life cycle profiles to customize the behavior of MATRIXX for your business processes.
    - Offer Life Cycle Status Codes
      Offer life cycle status codes are linked to offer life cycle status definitions in an offer life cycle.
    - Roles
      A role defines the relationship between a user and its subscriptions and groups.
    - Service Types
      Each network message received for subscriber usage is associated with a service type, and each category of usage within the network message is associated with a service context.
    - Status Life Cycles
      A status life cycle is a collection of object states, policies, and transition rules that are defined for a specific object type. You can define a status life cycle for user, device, subscription, group, and offer objects to customize the behavior of MATRIXX for your business processes. For example, a device life cycle can begin with a provisioned status, transition to an active status, and finally transition to an inactive status.
    - Tenant Profiles
      Use a tenant profile to configure the unique ID for identifying a tenant across sub-domains, and to configure optional extensions to the tenant profile.
- Policy Configuration
  Policy configuration components are used by MATRIXX Charging Application and MATRIXX Policy Application for charging and rating.

Glossary

Inbound Roamer

In Inbound Roamer, you define the agreements with third-party operators that allow usage and policy requests for subscribers that are not identified in MATRIXX. You can define agreements for roaming requests and emergency requests.

Inbound Roamer Validation

For 4G (Diameter Gateway) and 5G (SBA Gateway) usage and policy requests, MATRIXX Engine parses the device IMSI (4G) or SUPI (5G) to get the Mobile Country Code (MCC) and the Mobile Network Code (MNC). MATRIXX Engine uses the MCC and MNC to find a partner agreement for roaming in the inbound roamer definitions. If an agreement exists, MATRIXX Engine allows the request.

Inbound Roamer Configuration

You must do the following to configure inbound roaming:

Create product offers and policies specific to your roaming scenarios. See the discussions about product offers and policies for more information.
Create a user (SubMan API MtxRequestUserCreate).
Create a subscription (SubMan API MtxRequestSubscriptionCreate).
The roaming subscription uses the TenantID and StatusValue from the subscription template. Create a unique TenantID for inbound roamers to identify those EDRs and to stream them to different Kafka topics, if necessary.
Create status life cycles that you configure specifically for inbound roamers. Consider conditions specific to inbound roamers, such as inactivity timeouts.
Associate the user with the subscription (SubMan API MtxRequestUserAddSubscription).
Note: Associate a unique user with each subscription. Create a custom user with fields that uniquely identify the inbound roamer and which give information in notifications that identify the inbound roamer.
Purchase the offers created in Step 1 for the subscription (SubMan API MtxRequestSubscriberPurchaseOffer).
In My MATRIXX, define the inbound roamer (roaming request and emergency request) and set the subscription template external ID to the subscription ExternalId defined in Step 3.
Note: To delete a subscription template assigned to an inbound roamer (roaming requests and emergency requests), you must first remove the subscription from the inbound roamer.

For information about the SubMan APIs, see MATRIXX Subscriber Management API.

For more information about inbound roamers, see the discussion about inbound roaming in MATRIXX Pricing and Rating.
