Call Out Response Data MDCs

The call out session information contains the results of a set of pre-rating queries for different pieces of information that were performed at the same time, such as when an IDP is received and a MAP call out is required to query location and MNP data, or when an LDAP call out is required to retrieve subscriber information. The call out session data is structured as follows:

MtxCallOutSessionInfoData {
    unsigned int32 LastResult
    unsigned int32 LastMapResult
    unsigned int32 LastMapErrorCode
    unsigned int32 AttemptCount
    MtxCallOutResponseData CallingCallOutResponse {...}
    MtxCallOutResponseData CalledCallOutResponse {...}
    MtxCallOutResponseData CallOutResponseList {...}
    unsigned int64 UsedActionProfileIdList
    }

In addition to the MtxCallOutResponseData MDCs, it logs the combined results of the call out requests for the current message in the following top level fields, and uses this information to decide if the call out has successfully retrieved all the required information:

LastResult

LastResult is set for all types of call out request (both MAP and LDAP). It holds the combined results of the single queries for this message:

• 0 — Success means that all the queries were successful.
• 1 — Fail means that one or more queries was unsuccessful.
• 2 — Timeout means that one or more queries timed out.
• 3 — Config error means that there is a problem in the pricing file configuration for pre-rating queries. The details of the problem, such as the same pre-rating profile being selected more than once by the pre-rating profile generator for the same session message, are logged as an error.

LastMapResult

The MAP protocol specific result for the last set of profiles processed, where:

• 0 — Success means that all the MAP queries were successful.
• 1 — Timeout means that the last MAP query timed out.
• 2 — Routing failure means that the last MAP query failed because a TCAP notice primitive was received indicating that the message could not be sent to its destination.
• 3 — Error means that the last MAP query failed due to a ReturnError component being received in response to the MAP operation.
• 4 — Aborted means that the last MAP query failed when a TCAP ABORT was received.
• 5 — Unexpected message means that the last MAP query failed when an unexpected message was received.
• 6 — System failure means that the last MAP query failed because there was a problem in the MATRIXX platform.

LastMapErrorCode

Set only for MAP call outs. If a ReturnError was received for the last MAP query, the error code is recorded in LastMapErrorCode. Otherwise, this field is not present.

AttemptCount

Set for all types of call out request (both MAP and LDAP). It records the number of call out attempts for this message. If the AttemptCount field is not present, it means that either the last time call outs were made for this message, they were all successful, or no call outs have been made.

When a new ApplyChargingReport message or a new Diameter accounting start or accounting interim message is received, these fields are removed from all the query logs and from the top level fields.
