Statistics
IPSMGWFetchIMSI statistics are tracked by the sentinel.ipsmgw SBB
and can be found under the following parameter set in REM:
SLEE-Usage → sentinel.ipsmgw service → sentinel.ipsmgw SBB → feature → IPSMGWFetchIMSI
or with rhino-stats:
"SLEE-Usage.Services.ServiceID[name=sentinel.ipsmgw,vendor=OpenCloud,version=4.0.0].SbbID[name=sentinel.ipsmgw,vendor=OpenCloud,version=4.0.0].feature.IPSMGWFetchIMSI"
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
SavedIMSI |
Incremented when we successfully retrieve the IMSI from the HLR |
SentSRIForSM |
Incremented when the SRIForSM is sent to the HLR |
FailedToSendSRIForSM |
Incremented when the SRIForSM fails to be sent to the HLR |
SuppressedSRIForSM |
Incremented when the SRIForSM is suppressed |
Configuration
The feature is configured with configuration scoped according to a Sentinel Selection Key.
The Profile Table used to hold feature configuration is IPSMGWSharedConfigProfileTable.
The following attributes are available
| Attributes | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
HlrAddress |
String |
Address of the HLR to request the IMSI from, used when establishing the MAP dialog if |
UseMsisdnAsHlrAddress |
Boolean |
Controls whether to address the outbound HLR leg using a GT address formed from the subscriber MSISDN, instead of using the configured |
SentinelOriginatingAddress |
String |
Address of Sentinel used when establishing the MAP dialog |
SentinelIPSMGWAddress |
String |
The IP-SM-GW address that the feature will include it in MAP SendRoutingInfoForSMRequest request to send to HLR |
SriSmDeliveryNotIntended |
Boolean |
If true, specify the SmDeliveryNotIntended flag when performing an SRI for SM IMSI-only query (i.e. during SMMA callflows). |
SuppressHLRInteraction |
boolean |
If true, no MAP messages will be sent to the HLR. Can only be set to true when DeliveryOrder is PS_ONLY. For more information, refer to Suppression of HLR Interaction |
Using MSISDN as HLR Address
The Fetch IMSI feature can optionally address the HLR leg using a GT address formed from the inbound subscriber MSISDN, as opposed to using the destination addresses configured in the IPSMGWMapProxyConfigProfileTable profile table described above.
This behaviour can be enabled or disabled by setting the UseMsisdnAsHlrAddress attribute in the Shared Configuration Profile.
MAP Application Context
The feature uses MAP Application Context shortMsgGatewayContext_v2_ac.
This application context was added in GSM MAP Phase 2.
|
If SriSmDeliveryNotIntended is set to true, the feature will create a MAP v3 dialog instead of a v2 dialog.
Only enable this configuration if this parameter is supported by the configured HLR.
|
Behaviour
When run with mode fetch the FetchIMSI feature will read the MSISDN out of session state. It is then used to send a SendRoutingInfoForSMRequest to the HLR.
The request always has the SM-RP-PRI flag set to TRUE, and optionally has smDeliveryNotIntended set to "only IMSI requested" (based on the SriSmDeliveryNotIntended configuration flag).
When run with mode response the feature will look for the receipt of the SendRoutingInfoForSMResponse, it extracts the IMSI and sets it in session state.
If the SendRoutingInfoForSMRequest results in an error response then it will
set the SRI4SMResult and SRI4SMError session state fields instead.
If the feature is run without a mode parameter it returns a Feature Error.
The feature can be inhibited if the IPSMGW is configured to suppress HLR Interaction (see Suppression of HLR Interaction)
