This document details basic procedures for system administrators managing, maintaining, configuring and deploying OpenCloud’s Service Interaction SLEE (SIS) 2.5.4 with Rhino.

Topics

This document includes the following topics:

  • About the SIS — a brief overview of the SIS and how it provides service interaction, with a focus on its functional description, configuration and subscription data, components and dependencies, and command-line console.

  • Installing and uninstalling the SIS — procedures for installing the SIS automatically and manually, and uninstalling the SIS.

  • Creating, removing, and reconfiguring a SIS instance — procedures for creating a SIS instance automatically and manually, removing a SIS instance, and reconfiguring a SIS instance.

  • Managing the SIS — using console commands, Ant tasks, and MBeans to manage SIS configuration, compositions, triggers, macros, address subscriptions, service key subscriptions, service configurations trigger-address tracing, and fine-grained tracing.

  • Using SIS modules — using and installing optional features available with the SIS.

  • Appendixes — details of SIS XML schema files, the SCCP address format, alarms, and recorded statistics (for network-initiated dialogs, service-initiated dialogs and service statistics).

Audience

This document is for system administrators (and anyone else responsible for) deploying, managing and maintaining the SIS on a Rhino SLEE.

This document assumes a basic knowledge of core concepts about Rhino, SIS, JAIN SLEE, and Java Management Extensions (JMX).

About the SIS

The Rhino Service Interaction SLEE provides service interaction for circuit-switched networks.

Specifically, SIS lets you:

  • run one or more services on a trigger from a Service Switching Function (SSF) or Serving Call Session Control Function
    (S-CSCF). These services may be:

    • local: JAIN SLEE services written using OpenCloud CGIN or EasySIP APIs:

      • SIS supports CGIN APIs for:

        • GSM CAP v1, v2, v3, and v4 (Voice and SMS only)

        • ETSI INAP CS1

        • Ericsson INAP CS1 (optional)

        • Ericsson INAP CS1+ (optional)

        • Nokia INAP CS1 (optional); Siemens INAP 7m+ (optional)

        • GSM MAP v4 (outgoing dialogs only).

      • EasySIP supports SIP (RFC 3261) and ISC (3GPP TS 23.218).

    • external: legacy CAP and INAP services in external network elements, or SIP application servers.

  • fully customise how the SIS selects the service composition (set of services) to run, using initial trigger scripts

  • manage the signaling interactions between the services that the SIS invokes, with powerful and flexible composition scripts

  • enable focused, service-interaction tracing for specific dialogs, without compromising the performance of the SIS, by using fine-grained tracing options for specific service compositions, address or service-key subscriptions, or arbitrary addresses from initial events.

Tip

For more the on SIS generally, see the SIS Overview and Concepts document. For a description of specific SIS features, see the following subtopics:

Functional Description

For SIP and IN, the SIS lets you define complex interactions between services, by applying a composition to each call attempt that it processes.

Note A composition is a pre-tested sequence of services or features that produce added value to a subscriber.

The SIS intelligently manages the interactions between each service and the network dialog.

The SIS FSM

Below is a high-level view of the SIS finite state machine (FSM), followed by descriptions of its three states.

insis highlevel state machine

State A: Inactive

Inactive is the initial and final state of the SIS FSM.

State B: Service Composition Discovery

Service Composition Discovery is the state the SIS FSM enters upon receipt of an initial event. The SIS applies trigger rules that analyse and examine the parameters of the initial event, to select a service composition to run.

If the SIS finds a composition, the SIS FSM transitions to the Monitoring and Event Delivery state. If not, the SIS:

  • sends a configurable "trigger failure" response to the network

  • terminates the network dialog

  • returns the SIS FSM to the Inactive state.

State C: Monitoring and Event Delivery

The Monitoring and Event Delivery state is divided into the following three substates:

  1. Event Delivery,

  2. Waiting for Instructions, and

  3. Monitoring:

insis fsm state c

State C.1: Event Delivery

Event Delivery is the state the SIS FSM enters whenever one or more events are available for potential delivery to one or more services. Typically, the network generates events, but the SIS may also synthesise them as a result of a particular service’s interaction with the network dialog.

insis fsm state c1
Event delivery direction

Events are delivered to the services in a composition in the forward or reverse direction — forward from events associated with the call’s originating party, reverse from events associated with the call’s terminating party. If an event is not associated with either the originating or terminating party, delivery is by default in the forward direction.

Service disposition towards receiving events

Each service may have one of three dispositions towards the receipt of each event:

  • Transparent — The service does not care about the event (will not receive notification).

  • Notify & Continue — The service wants to know but not do anything about the event (will receive notification, but not respond with any specific call-processing functions).

  • Interrupted — The service wants to know about and respond to the event before it goes to another service (will receive notification and may perform some call-processing functions). In this case, the SIS waits for the service to generate a response to the event before continuing with delivery of the event to any other service.

The SIS determines the disposition of a service by considering whether it can receive the event (the event-handler methods defined by the service), and whether it has asked to receive such events in the past (for example, for an IN EventReportBCSM indication event, whether the service has requested interest in its BCSM event type).

The SIS fires an event to the service if the event disposition is not Transparent. If the event disposition was Interrupted, the SIS FSM enters the Waiting for Instructions state.

Transitions to Monitoring or Inactive

After all events have been delivered by the SIS to the services in the service composition (according to the service dispositions) and the SIS has received all required responses from the services (according to the service dispositions), the SIS sends any required response to the network. If the network dialog remains open after this time, the SIS FSM transitions to the Monitoring state. Otherwise, it transitions to the Inactive state.

State C.2: Waiting for Instructions

insis fsm state c2

Waiting for Instructions is the state when the SIS has delivered one or more events to a service with Interrupted event disposition, and it’s waiting for that service to return a response. There are two exit paths from this state: the SIS either receives a response from the service appropriate for the event, or times out.

With a response, the SIS determines whether to continue delivering the event to any remaining services, or abort delivery and send an immediate response to the network. For example, if a service releases the call, the SIS will abort delivery and send the appropriate message to the network. With a timeout, the SIS excludes the non-responding service from further interaction with the network dialog and continues delivering the events to any remaining services.

State C.3: Monitoring

Monitoring is a state where the SIS continues monitoring the network dialog for more events. It also continues to monitor the services where it has delivered events for the composition, so it can respond to any requests they initiate (for example, to terminate the call).

Configuration and Subscription Data

The SIS uses the following ten profile specifications, and root configuration schema, to store its configuration and subscription data.

IN = SIS feature for IN only

Profile specifications

Profile specification What it does

root configuration

Defines basic service-interaction configuration information, and includes the names of other profile tables the SIS needs (see the root configuration schema).

macros

Allows common expressions to be reused multiple times in triggers, compositions or other macros.

triggers

Specifies how the SIS deals with initial events it gets from the network. Includes an expression that the SIS can evaluate against the initial event, composition-selection criteria and failure-handling instructions.

compositions

Prompts the SIS to process an ordered set of services, according to various details, when triggered.

interceptors

Provides custom logic to manipulate the signaling parameters of protocol messages.

extension references

network routes

Specifies how the SIS selects a network interface for outgoing traffic.

address subscriptions

Defines subscription to compositions using an address. (Address lookup may be based on various addresses present in the initial event.)

service key subscription
IN

Defines subscription to compositions using the mandatory service key parameter of IN initial events.

trigger address tracing

Lets you associate a tracing-debug level with any arbitrary address, so you can enable debug logging for a dialog with a specific address string in one of the initial event’s parameters.

experimental features

Identifies incomplete or untested features that may be enabled in the SIS.

Name of the profile table used to store fine-grained tracing information for arbitrary addresses that may appear in trigger events.

Originating trigger address tracing selection

 
com.opencloud.slee.resources.sis.profiles.TriggerAddressTracingSelector[]

An array of trigger-address-tracing selectors (which specify the initial event parameters to examine for initial events from the originating call state model), to look for a profile in the trigger-address-tracing profile table when fine-grained tracing is enabled. You can select the following parameters: Calling Party Number, Called Party Number, Called Party BCD Number, Redirecting Party ID, Location Number, Original Called Party ID, Additional Calling Party Number, Destination Subscriber Number, SmscAddress, Request-URI, From, To, P-Asserted-Identity, P-Called-Party-ID, and P-Served-User. You can specify zero or more selectors. The SIS searches for profiles in the trigger-address-tracing profile table using the unmodified address from each selected trigger event parameter.

Terminating trigger-address-tracing selection

 
com.opencloud.slee.resources.sis.profiles.TriggerAddressTracingSelector[]

Same as the originating trigger-address-tracing selection, except that it applies to initial events from the terminating call state model.

Third-party trigger-address-tracing selection

 
com.opencloud.slee.resources.sis.profiles.TriggerAddressTracingSelector[]

Same as the originating trigger-address-tracing selection, except that it applies to initial events for third-party (network-initiated) calls.

Concatenated FCI interaction mode delimiter
IN

 
byte[]

Byte array of length zero or more, used as a delimiter between multiple furnish charging information (FCI) requests sent during a particular instance of service interaction. Used only if the concatenated FCI interaction mode has been specified for a service composition.

Fine-grained tracing enabled

 
boolean

Boolean flag that indicates whether the fine-grained tracing facilities on the SIS are enabled (true) or disabled (false). Checking fine-grained tracing options for an initial event, such as looking up the trigger address tracing profile table, incurs a small additional overhead — so this option lets an administrator eliminate that performance penalty if not needing fine-grained tracing.

Default service timeout

 
long

The default timeout period, measured in milliseconds, that the SIS uses when waiting for a response to an event from a composition service or an extension component. If it gets no response within the timeout period, the SIS assumes the service or extension component is non-responsive, and if it is a composition service, removes the service from further interaction with the network dialog. The default timeout period is 2s, and the minimum permitted timeout is 100ms.

Audit level

 
com.opencloud.slee.resources.sis.management.AuditLevel

The SIS audit logging level.

Components and Dependencies

The SIS has the following components and dependences (with links to APIs).

Component/dependency Description

OpenCloud JAIN SLEE platform.

Provides the CGIN APIs, activities, and event types that the IN services use.

EasySIP resource adaptor type

Provides the EasySIP API, activity, and event types that SIP services use.

SIS Common library

Provides SIS functionality common to all SIS implementations, including the JMX management API.

Provides activity and event types that allow SIS extension components to determine which service composition the SIS should execute for a given initial event.

SIS Interceptor Extension resource adaptor type

Provides activity and event types that:

  • allow SIS extension components to modify signaling parameters in composition service input or output messages

  • allow SLEE services to invoke SIS interceptor components for arbitrary protocol messages.

SIS Composition Activity Provider resource adaptor type

Provides access to a SIS-managed activity object, related to the underlying network dialog that a service interacts with, through the virtual dialog layer (which the SIS provides, between the network and services, to manage service interaction).

This activity object lets multiple services share state using SLEE-provided features — without the services having to deal with state cleanup on network dialog termination.

Note For a given network dialog, the SIS uses the same activity object to represent service composition selection, interceptor, and composition activities in the SLEE. This means that state can be shared between composition services and SIS extension components if required.

IN This is a SIS feature for IN only

Service Interaction Manager

This component:

  • contains the service-interaction logic of the SIS

  • intelligently manages the delivery of events on a network dialog to multiple services, as well as the responses that it receives from those services

  • is packaged and deployed as a JAIN SLEE resource adaptor, but does not directly provide resource adaption for all resource adaptor types that it implements (a standard SIP or CGIN resource adaptor embedded inside the Service Interaction Manager provides resource adaption functionality for, and implements, the relevant protocol resource adaptor type)

  • injects interaction logic into the events that the embedded resource adaptor passes to it and into the responses that services generate

  • uses relevant protocol resource adaptor type APIs and the SLEE 1.1 specification to interact with the embedded resource adaptor, the SLEE, and composition services.

For IN, the embedded CGIN resource adaptor has two parts:

  • frontend component — a JAIN SLEE resource adaptor (in Java code), implemented according to the SLEE 1.1 specification, to provide functionality defined by the CGIN architecture.

  • backend component — an external TCAP stack which connects to the SS7 network.

See the CGIN documentation for more information on using SS7 networks.

For SIP, the embedded SIP resource adaptor contains the SIP stack and connects directly to the SIP network.

Command-Line Administration Tools

SIS command-line administration tools, in the admin directory of the SIS install, include:

Tool Description 
install-sis

Installs the SIS into Rhino (or Rhino SDK), and creates profile tables used to store basic configuration data for SIS instances.
See Installing the SIS for details.

 
create-sis-in-instance
create-sis-sip-instance

Creates a SIS instance for IN or SIP respectively. These tools prompt for configuration parameters necessary to create a SIS instance, then perform the necessary actions in Rhino (or Rhino SDK) to realise the SIS instance.
See Creating a SIS Instance for details.

 
sis-console

A command-line console that is an extension of rhino-console, that supports the set of SIS commands as well as the normal Rhino commands.
See Managing the SIS for details of console commands specific to the SIS.

 
sis-export

Extracts the current state of a SIS instance, including macros, triggers, compositions, and so on; and generates an Ant build script that can be used (in conjunction with a standard Rhino state export) to regenerate the SIS instance in another Rhino (or Rhino SDK).
See Exporting SIS State for details.

 
sis-import

Helper tool to execute an Ant build script generated by sis-export.
See Importing SIS State for details.

Installing and Uninstalling the SIS

This section includes the following procedures:

Installing the SIS

Installing the SIS

Below are the steps to install the SIS:

  1. Install and start Rhino.

  2. Install the CGIN Connectivity Pack.

  3. Unpack the SIS.

  4. Configure the SIS.

  5. Install the SIS.

... plus an example.

1. Install and start Rhino

Rhino (or the Rhino SDK) must be installed and running before anything else can be installed.

Warning

The deployable units for both SIS and CGIN include a large number of generated classes. It is highly recommended to increase the maximum permanent generation memory size used by Rhino to at least 256Mb to avoid seemingly random JVM hangs caused by garbage collection thrashing, out of memory errors, or other related problems that can be attributed to the JVM having to load this quantity of classes.

  • For Rhino, you need to edit the read-config-variables file in the ${RHINO_HOME}/etc/defaults directory and each ${RHINO_HOME}/node-XXX directory.

  • For the Rhino SDK, you need to edit the ${RHINO_HOME}/config/jvm_args file.

In each file, search for -XX:MaxPermSize and set the value of this option to 256m. Rhino (or the Rhino SDK) needs be to restarted for this change to take effect.

2. Install the CGIN Connectivity Pack

The SIS 2.5.4 depends on the CGIN Connectivity Pack 1.5.4 — you must download and install it before using the SIS.

Warning

See the SIS Compatibility Guide for further information on using CGIN with the SIS.

Note that the 'trial' version of the SIS can only be used in conjunction with the 'trial' version of the CGIN Connectivity Pack. Similarly, the 'full' version of the SIS can only be used in conjunction with the 'full' version of the CGIN Connectivity Pack.

Typically, the CGIN Connectivity Pack will be extracted directly into the Rhino (or Rhino SDK) directory:

$ cd RhinoSDK
$ unzip ~/downloads/cgin-connectivity-full-1.5.4.6.zip
Archive:  ~/downloads/cgin-connectivity-full-1.5.4.6.zip
   creating: cgin-connectivity-full-1.5.4.6/
   creating: cgin-connectivity-full-1.5.4.6/du/
   creating: cgin-connectivity-full-1.5.4.6/examples/
   creating: cgin-connectivity-full-1.5.4.6/examples/META-INF/
   creating: cgin-connectivity-full-1.5.4.6/examples/src/
  ...
Tip The fourth digit of the CGIN Connectivity Pack version indicates the patch release version and may be different from the example shown above.

3. Unpack the SIS

Typically, the SIS (like the CGIN Connectivity Pack) should be extracted directly into the Rhino (or Rhino SDK) directory:

$ cd RhinoSDK
$ unzip ~/downloads/sis-full-2.5.4.10.zip
Archive:  ~/downloads/sis-full-2.5.4.10.zip
   creating: sis/
   creating: sis/2.5.4.10/
   creating: sis/2.5.4.10/admin/
   creating: sis/2.5.4.10/admin/common/
   creating: sis/2.5.4.10/admin/etc/
   creating: sis/2.5.4.10/admin/lib/
   creating: sis/2.5.4.10/admin/lib/extensions/

    ...
Tip The fourth digit of the SIS package version indicates the patch release version and may be different from the example shown above.

4. Configure the SIS

Initial SIS configuration may require modification of the following files:

Directory File What it should contain 
sis/2.5.4.x
 
cgin-connectivity.properties

This file defines a property which specifies the path to the CGIN Connectivity Pack for the SIS, as either an absolute or relative path. If relative, must be relative to the sis/2.5.4.x directory.

The default value for the path is a relative path to the expected CGIN Connectivity Pack, extracted in the Rhino (or Rhino SDK) directory. For example, the full version of the standard SIS install has a default path value of ../../cgin-connectivity-full-1.5.4. Note that the path separator character / used in this file will automatically be converted to the local platform path separator when this file is used by the SIS.

If both the CGIN Connectivity Pack and the SIS have been extracted into the same Rhino (or Rhino SDK) directory, then this configuration file only needs to be modified to append the fourth digit of the specific CGIN Connectivity Pack patch release being used. Otherwise, the entire path will need to be modified as necessary.

 
sis/2.5.4.x/admin/etc
 
client.ant.properties

and

client.shell.properties

or in Windows:

client.windows.properties.bat

These files each define a property which specifies the path to the client directory of the Rhino (or Rhino SDK) install, as either an absolute or relative path. If relative, must be relative to the sis/2.5.4.x directory.

If both the CGIN Connectivity Pack and the SIS have been extracted into the same Rhino (or Rhino SDK) directory, then these files should not need to be modified.

5. Install the SIS

To install the SIS into Rhino, run sis/2.5.4.x/admin/install-sis (or install-sis.bat in Windows).

The SIS installation prompts for the following parameters:

Parameter Description 
IN Config Profile Table

Name of the profile table to create, to store SIS IN configurations.
Defaults to sis-configs-in

 
SIP Config Profile Table

Name of the profile table to create, to store SIS SIP configurations.
Defaults to sis-configs-sip

 
Rhino SIS license

File path to the Rhino license file to use with the SIS (if you have one).

The installer, after confirming values for each parameter, installs the required deployable units from the CGIN Connectivity Pack and the SIS, creates the SIS configuration profile tables, and installs the license file (if specified).

Example install-sis

Below is an example of a SIS installation.

$ cd sis/2.5.4.10/admin
$ ./install-sis

Uninstalling the SIS

Below are a note about what the uninstallation removes, instructions for using the cascade-uninstall command, and an example.

What’s uninstalled

Warning

Uninstalling the SIS will also remove from the SLEE:

  • all SIS instances

  • all SIS configuration and subscription information

  • all extension components that depend on the SIS Service Composition Selection resource adaptor type

  • all extension components that depend on the SIS Interceptors resource adaptor type

  • all extension components and services that depend on the SIS Composition Activity Provider resource adaptor type.

Using cascade-uninstall

The quickest and easiest way to uninstall the SIS is by using Rhino’s cascade-uninstall tool, located in the client/bin directory of the Rhino installation. You can specify which deployable units to remove, for example:

To uninstall…​ …​specify:

only the SIS, while retaining other CGIN and SIP-related components

 
file:sis/sis-common-2.5.4.x.du.jar

all CGIN-related components, including the SIS

Creating, Removing, and Reconfiguring a SIS Instance

Any number of SIS instances may be created in the same Rhino platform. While instances may share the same configuration and provisioning information, they typically each have their own.

This section includes the following procedures:

 

Note
What’s in a SIS instance?

A SIS instance consists of:

  • a root configuration profile

  • a macros profile table

  • a triggers profile table

  • a compositions profile table

  • an interceptors profile table

  • a network interface definitions profile table

  • a network route profile table

  • an extension references profile table

  • a service references profile table

  • an interceptor references profile table

  • an external platform definitions profile table

  • an address subscriptions profile table

  • a service key subscriptions profile table (IN only)

  • a trigger address tracing profile table

  • an experimental features profile table

  • a Service Interaction Manager resource adaptor entity.

Creating a SIS Instance

Below are instructions for creating a SIS instance.

Tip Afterwards, you can provision macros, triggers, compositions, and subscriptions for it — see SIS Management in the SIS Overview and Concepts guide.

Running an -instance tool

You create a SIS instance by running one of the sis/2.5.4.x/admin/create-sis-<protocol>-instance tools (or create-sis-<protocol>-instance.bat on Windows). There is one tool for each protocol that the SIS supports (SIP or IN). When you execute the tool, it:

  1. asks for configuration parameters

  2. creates the profile tables and profiles it needs

  3. creates the configured SIS instance

  4. prompts you to activate it.

Command-line options

The SIS instance-creation tools accept the following (mutually exclusive) command-line options:

Option Description 
-h

Displays command-line usage help.

 
-r

Runs the tool using the settings from a previous run (stored in the etc/last-<protocol>-instance.properties file after the user confirms them).

 
-u <filename>

Runs the tool using the settings from the specified file (a simple text file containing property variable assignments — see the etc/last-<protocol>-instance.properties file created by the tool after the first successful run for an example of its content).

 
-y

Runs the tool in non-interactive mode, automatically accepting all settings. This option must be used with either -r or -u <filename> to provide values for properties that have no default.

Configuring SIS Instance Parameters

Creating a SIS instance requires the following parameters — general settings, network settings, default network interface settings, and profile tables — for SIP or IN:

SIP parameters

Below are SIS parameters for SIP general settings, network settings, default network interface settings, and profile tables.

SIP general settings

Parameter Description Example 
Name

Name of the new SIS instance. This name is used for the Service Interaction Manager resource adaptor entity. Each resource adaptor entity in the SLEE must have a unique name.

 
sis-sip
 
Description

An optional arbitrary description for the SIS instance.

 
My SIP SIS
 
Default service timeout

Default timeout period, measured in milliseconds, used by the SIS when waiting for a response to an event from a service or extension component.

 
5000
 
SIS worker pool size

Number of processing threads available for handling internal SIS tasks.

 
4
 
SIS worker queue size

The size of the queue used for tasks awaiting the availability of a processing thread. If the queue is full, a subsequent task will be executed by the thread generating the task. If 0 is specified for the queue size, an unbound queue is used.

 
50
 
Maximum compositions

The maximum number concurrent active compositions the SIS will allow. This is to prevent the SIS from consuming excessive memory if composition state is not cleaned up due to an internal error. If the limit is reached, requests that attempt to start new compositions will be rejected with a 503 error response. A value of zero disables limiting.

 
0
 
Audit level

SIS auditing level — valid values are ALL, COMPONENT, and NONE

 
NONE
 
Fine-grained tracing enabled

Boolean flag indicating whether the fine-grained tracing facilities on the SIS are enabled (true) or disabled (false).

 
false

SIP network settings

Parameter Description Example 
Automatic 100 Trying support

Boolean flag indicating if "100 Trying" responses should be automatically sent whenever an INVITE is received.

 
true
 
Automatic 100rel support

Boolean flag indicating if "Supported: 100rel" headers should be automatically added to to outgoing requests in UAC mode.

 
true
 
Automatic Dialog ID Rewriting Enabled

Boolean flag indicating if the SIS should rewrite headers that contain embedded dialog IDs, when forwarding requests between dialogs as a B2BUA. This is so that user agents on one side of the B2BUA don’t see Dialog IDs from the other side, which wouldn’t be recognised.

Applies to Target-Dialog and Replaces headers, including Replaces header values inside a Refer-To header.

 
true
 
Offset ports

Boolean flag indicating if the SIS should add an offset to its configured SIP ports. Used when there are multiple SIS nodes on the same host.

 
false
 
Port offset

If Offset ports is enabled, then the value of Node ID - Port offset is added to the SIS’s SIP port numbers. This value should match the lowest node ID in the cluster.

 
101
 
SIP worker pool size

Number of processing threads available to the SIP stack for handling incoming messages.

 
4
 
SIP worker queue size

The size of the queue used for tasks awaiting the availability of a processing thread. If the queue is full, the SIP stack will drop the message (UDP) or temporarily suspend reads on the socket (TCP and TLS). If 0 is specified for the queue size, an unbound queue is used.

 
500
 
TCP I/O threads

Number of processing threads for handling TCP I/O. TCP connections will be divided between the I/O threads.

 
1
 
RFC3263 Failover Enabled

Specifies whether to use RFC 3263 failover and load balancing. By default this is disabled, to match existing behaviour. If enabled, the SIS uses RFC 3263 DNS procedures to find possible servers and automatically fails over to backup servers where available. If multiple servers are found in DNS they are sorted and tried according to their SRV priority and weight as per RFC 3263. If disabled, the DNS procedures are still used to find server addresses, but only the first address is used.

 
false
 
RFC3263 Failover Timer

Specifies the duration of the failover timer in milliseconds. If RFC 3263 failover is enabled and this timer expires before any responses were received, the SIS treats this as a transport error and tries sending the request to the next available server. This timer should be set to a value smaller than the default Timer B and Timer F timers (32s) so that failures can be detected promptly. A value of zero or less disables this timer.

 
10000
 
RFC3263 Blacklist Timer

The duration in milliseconds for which a server will be "blacklisted" after a failure is detected. This avoids the SIS trying to contact the server immediately after a failure, when it is probably just going to fail again. After this time has passed, the failed server may be tried again on subsequent client transactions. If a server specifies a Retry-After duration in a 503 response, that value will be used instead.

 
300000
 
UDP Max Request Size

The maximum size, in bytes, of SIP requests that may be sent sent using UDP. Requests larger than this will automatically be sent using TCP, as per RFC3261 §18.1.1. Values of zero or less disable this feature; the SIS will try to send with UDP anyway. This is not recommended as fragmentation and packet loss are more likely with large UDP datagrams.

 
1300

SIP default network interface settings

Parameter Description Example 
Virtual addresses

Optional comma-separated list of alternative hostnames that the SIS is known by, such as virtual IP addresses and hostnames in a cluster. When making routing decisions, the SIS will consider these names to be local.

 
sis1.mydomain.com, sis2.mydomain.com
 
IP address

The IP address or hostname for the SIS. The SIS will listen on this address. The address "AUTO" will automatically select the node’s primary IP address, for convenience and use in a cluster, where each node has its own IP address.

 
AUTO
 
Port

Port that will be used for unencrypted SIP transports (UDP, TCP).

 
5060
 
Secure port

Port that will be used for encrypted SIP transports (TLS).

 
5061
 
SIP transports

SIP transports to be supported by the SIS. This is a comma-separated list containing one or more of UDP, TCP or TLS.

 
UDP,TCP
 
Via sent-by address

Specifies an IP address or hostname that will be used in the "sent-by" field of Via headers added by the SIS. If a value is not specified the SIS will use the local IP address of the node. In some scenarios it may be necessary to specify a value to use a virtual server address.

 
sis.mydomain.com

SIP profile tables

Number of processing threads available for handling internal SIS tasks.

 
2
 
SIS worker queue size

The size of the queue used for tasks awaiting the availability of a processing thread. If the queue is full, a subsequent task will be executed by the thread generating the task. If 0 is specified for the queue size, an unbound queue is used.

 
5000
 
Maximum dialogs

Maximum number of concurrent network dialogs the SIS will allow before rejecting new first-party conducted dialogs. A value of zero disables limiting.

Note Assisting and third-party call dialogs are never rejected by the SIS because of maximum dialog limiting, but do contribute towards the total network dialog count. 
0

SIS auditing level — valid values are ALL, COMPONENT, and NONE

 
NONE
 
Fine-grained tracing enabled

Boolean flag indicating whether the fine-grained tracing facilities on the SIS are enabled (true) or disabled (false).

The minimum period that can be specified is 1000ms. The maximum is 86400000ms (one day). A value of 0 will disable this feature.

 
180000
 
ICA proxy SCCP address

SCCP address used by the SIS as the destination for dialog open requests created for third party call setup attempts initiated by services using an InitiateCallAttempt request. This setting is optional but must be specified in order for third-party call support to be enabled in the SIS. See also SCCP Address Format.

 
type=C7,ri=pcssn,pc=201,ssn=100

IN default network interface settings

Below are general default network interface settings, followed by those specific to the ocss7, signalware, mach7, and tcapsim stacks.

Note
Using TCAP stacks
IN general default network interface settings
Parameter Description Example 
Local SCCP address

SCCP address assigned to the SIS instance, included in dialog open requests sent by the SIS instance to the network. TIP: See also SCCP Address Format and Administering the CGIN Resource Adaptor Entity.

 
type=C7,ri=pcssn,pc=202,ssn=101
 
Responder SCCP address

SCCP address used by the SIS when sending responses to received dialog open requests. This setting is optional and only needs to be specified if an address different to that filled in by the TCAP stack when sending open responses is required. See also SCCP Address Format.

 
type=C7,ri=pcssn,pc=202,ssn=101
 
Default TCAP invoke timeout

The timeout period, measure in milliseconds, the SIS uses whenever it needs to send invoke requests to the network.

 
5000
 
Default dialog activity timeout

The default timeout period, measured in milliseconds, for dialogs with no activity before they are terminated.

 
1800000
 
TCAP fibers maximum pool size

The maximum number of threads in the TCAP layer fiber pool. If zero, then a pool is not used: work is done directly in the I/O thread.

 
4
 
TCAP fibers queue size

The maximum number of waiting fibers in the TCAP layer fiber pool.

If the queue becomes full and there are less than the maximum number of worker threads, a new thread is started. If the queue is full and no more threads are permitted, then subsequent fiber tasks are executed directly by the calling thread (usually the I/O thread).

A zero-sized queue is possible and implies that work is either immediately assigned an idle thread, or the work is done by the calling thread.

 
250
 
Inbound ACN mappings

Activity Context Name mappings for inbound dialogs: a comma-separated list of values in <external OID>:<internal ASN.1 or interceptor> format. Allows the SIS to be reconfigured to accept the external application context name as a synonym for the internal application context name. An external ACN can be mapped to only one internal ACN. Several external ACNs can be mapped to the same internal ACN. The righthand side of each mapping can either name an application context valueref (such as etsi_inap_cs1.core-INAP-CS1-SSP-to-SCP-AC, or it can name the interceptor to use to determine the AC to use (such as map.phase-1).

 
1.2.34.567.8.9.0.1:etsi_inap_cs1.core-INAP-CS1-IP-to-SCP-AC
 
Outbound ACN mappings

Activity Context Name mappings for outbound dialogs: a comma-separated list of values in <internal ASN.1>:<external OID> format. Allows the SIS to be reconfigured to write the external application context name in place of the internal application context name. An internal ACN can be mapped to only one external ACN. Multiple internal ACNs can be mapped to the same external ACN.

 
etsi_inap_cs1.core-INAP-CS1-IP-to-SCP-AC:1.2.34.567.8.9.0.1
 
Relaxed BER decoding rules

Specifies whether or not to relax the BER decoding rules to allow certain types of malformed data. If false, then the BER rules are strictly enforced and malformed data will be rejected.

 
false
 
TCAP stack

Name of the TCAP stack for the SIS to use. Four stacks are currently supported: ocss7, a TCAP stack that connects to one or more TCAP Manager (SGC) processes, signalware, a TCAP stack that connects to one or more backend processes running on Ulticom Signalware, mach7, a TCAP stack that integrates with the teleSys MACH7 product, and tcapsim, a simulated TCAP stack that does not require any specific hardware.

 
ocss7
IN default network interface settings specific to the OC SS7 stack
Note

  • These parameters only need valid values if using the ocss7 TCAP stack.
Parameter Description Example 
SGCs

Comma-separated list of host:port OC SGC data ports which the TCAP stack will connect to. The TCAP stack will attempt to establish a connection to all of the configured host:port pairs. For use with OCSS7 1.1.0 and newer.

 
ocss71:8081,ocss72:8081
 
URL List

Comma-separated list of host:port locations where the SIS instance can expect to find OC SS7 SGC TCAP Manager processes running and listening for connections from the SLEE. The TCAP stack will attempt to establish a connection to one of the configured TCAP managers on a round robin basis. For use with OCSS7 1.0.1 and older.

 
ocss71:8080,ocss72:8080
 
URL List Retry Interval

The wait interval in milliseconds between subsequent connection attempts to the TCAP Managers. This value applies to all TCAP manager connections.

 
1000
 
Local SSN

The subsystem number used when the Local SCCP Address property does not provide one, for example in the case when it is set to "auto".

 
-1
 
Open Transactions Capacity

The maximum number of open transactions (dialogs) at any moment in time.

 
100000
 
Max Scheduler Threads

The maximum number of threads used by the scheduler.

 
10
 
Scheduler Node List Size

The number of events that may be scheduled on a single scheduler thread. This value multiplied with the value for Max Scheduler Threads should be directly proportional to Open Transactions Capacity. 0 = autosize.

 
0
 
Waiting Tasks Capacity

The maximum number of inbound messages and timeout events that may be waiting to be processed at any moment in time. This value should be directly proportional to Open Transactions Capacity. 0 = autosize.

 
0
 
Worker Group Queues

The number of threads used by the worker group to process timeout events and inbound messages.

 
100
 
Worker Queue Size

The maximum number of tasks in one worker queue. This value multiplied with the value for Worker Group Queues should be directly proportional to (2 * Waiting Tasks Capacity). 0 = autosize.

 
0
 
Sender Queue Size

The maximum number of outbound messages in the sender queue. This value is directly proportional to Open Transactions Capacity. 0 = autosize.

 
0
 
Heartbeat Enabled

Enables the heartbeat between the TCAP stack and the SGC.

 
true
 
Heartbeat Period

The interval, in seconds, between successive heartbeat sends.

 
5
IN network interface parameters specific to the Signalware stack
Note These parameters only need valid values if using the signalware TCAP stack.
Parameter Description Example 
Backends

Comma-separated list of host:port locations where the SIS instance can expect to find Signalware backend processes running and listening for connections from the SLEE.

 
signalware1:10001,signalware2:10001
 
Base weight

Base incoming traffic weight advertised to backends.

This property is a comma-separated list that must include at least one numeric item — the weight value used by any node that does not explicitly specify a weight. Additional items may specify weights for particular nodes, using the form {nodeid,nodeid,…​}weight.

For example, the value 100,{101}50,{102,103}75 specifies a weight of 50 for node 101, a weight of 75 for nodes 102 and 103, and a default weight of 100 for all other nodes.

Each weight is a positive integer used to balance load between nodes. The values have no particular unit other than relative to each other. A node will receive new dialogs in proportion to its weight; for example, two nodes with weights of 10 will receive about the same number of dialogs each, and a node with a weight of 20 will receive twice as many as a node with a weight of 10.

Tip One approach is to treat them as percentages and assign 100 to the busiest node, with smaller values for nodes that take less load.

The actual weight used for a particular node is the base weight specified here, modified by the function defined by weight function below, based on the amount of traffic that node has processed.

 
100
 
Weight function

Definition of the weight function applied to "full-rate" weights to find the actual rate to use. This is used to gradually increase load on a newly-joined cluster node, so as not to immediately swamp it with traffic.

The function is specified as a series of comma-separated values S(1),T(1),S(2),T(2),…​,S(N-1),T(N-1),S(N) where:

  • S(i) is the multiplier (in the range [0.0 .. 1.0]) of the "full-rate" weight to use in state (i)

  • T(i) is the total number of dialogs that must be received on a particular node before moving to state (i+1).

 
0.01,10,0.10,1000,0.50,5000,1.00
 
Fiber map size

The number of fibers in the fixed-size fiber map used to process incoming traffic. This value must be at least as large as the value of the TCAP Fibers Queue Size property.

 
256
 
Dialog allocation timeout

The maximum time, in milliseconds, to block while waiting to allocate a new dialog before returning an error to the calling service code.

 
5000
 
Dialog pool size

The size of the pre-allocation pool for outgoing dialogs. This pool is used to satisfy requests for new outgoing dialogs, and is refilled asynchronously. If the pool becomes empty due to a high rate of dialog creation, outgoing dialogs must wait for the backend to allocate a new dialog, increasing latency.

One pool is maintained per backend connection.

 
100
IN network interface parameters specific to the mach7 stack
Note These parameters only need valid values if using the mach7 TCAP stack.
Parameter Description Example 
Backends

Comma-separated list of host:port teleSys backend addresses. Address ranges can be used to indicate a single backend with multiple address.

 
192.168.1.130:12070,192.168.1.185-193.168.1.185:12070
 
SCCP bind address

SCCP address for binding SLEE.

If Point-Code (pc) and SCCP Sub System Number (ssn) fields are set in the Local SCCP Address, there is no need to provide pc and ssn in this property. However, nwApp (network apperance) information can be provided. If both the Local SCCP Address and SCCP Bind Address are set, then they must have same pc and ssn values. If pc and ssn are not set in the Local SCCP Address, then they must be set in this property.

 
ri=pcssn,pc=4012,ssn=100,nwApp=0
 
SLEE cluster ID

This property is used by the stack to pass Rhino cluster information to the ASC process, so that ASC can distinguish two SLEEs with same node ID from each other.

 
100
 
ASC correlated cluster ID

This property is used by the ASC process to register with the AN as part of the cluster. This cluster ID will be used for advanced routing through AN for correlated messages.

 
0
 
Frontend ↔ backend communication protocol

This property is used to define the communication protocol between the FrontEnd and BackEnd of MACH-AN. It must be either SCTP or TCP.

 
SCTP
 
Frontend ↔ backend heartbeat timer and threshold

This property is used to define the heartbeat timer and heartbeat threshold used to detect failure of the frontend to backend communication.

The format of this parameter is: <timer>:<threshold count>. For example, the value 5000:10 will configure a heartbeat timer of 5000ms with a threshold of 10. Each heartbeat should be acknowledged within 5000ms by MACH7-HA backend. If 10 heartbeats are missed then communication is assumed to be broken.

 
1000:3
IN network interface parameters specific to the tcapsim stack
Note These parameters only need valid values if using the tcapsim TCAP stack.
Parameter Description Example 
Global title translation table

Path to the file containing the global translation table description

Activating a SIS Instance

As part of the installation, you can activate a SIS instance (if licensed).

Activation

To activate a SIS instance during installation, answer the following prompt from the create-sis-<protocol>-instance tool:

  Activate the instance?
  ----------------------
  Should the new SIS instance be activated once it has been successfully
  created?
  Valid values are: true, false

  Activate the instance? [true]:

Licensing

You cannot activate a SIS instance unless a suitable license is installed in Rhino. License files can be obtained from OpenCloud.

Tip The SIS installation process includes an option to install a license file.

Removing a SIS Instance

Note There is currently no automated method for removing a SIS instance.

To remove a SIS instance:

1
Deactivate the SIS Service Interaction Manager resource adaptor entity

The first step to removing a SIS instance from the SLEE is to remove its SIS Service Interaction Manager resource adaptor entity. To be removed, the entity must be in the INACTIVE state. To let it return to that state, deactivate it — that will put it in the STOPPING state, and when no more activities it owns are in the SLEE, the SLEE will move it to the INACTIVE state.

For example, to deactivate the SIS resource adaptor entity called sis-in:

$ ./rhino-console deactivateRAEntity sis-in
Deactivating resource adaptor entity sis-in on node(s) [101]
Resource adaptor entity transitioned to the Stopping state on node 101

2
Remove the SIS Service Interaction Manager resource adaptor entity

Once the resource adaptor entity is in the INACTIVE state, you can remove it from the SLEE using the removeRAEntity command of the command-line management client. For example, to remove an inactive IN Service Interaction Manager resource adaptor entity called sis-in:

$ ./rhino-console listraentities
sis-in
...
$ ./rhino-console removeraentity sis-in
Removed resource adaptor entity sis-in

3
Remove the root configuration profile

To remove the root configuration profile for a SIS instance, use the removeprofile command. For example, to remove the profile named sis-in from the sis-configs profile table:

$ ./rhino-console listprofiles sis-configs
sis-in
...
$ ./rhino-console removeprofile sis-configs sis-in
Removed profile sis-configs/myconfig

4
Remove the profile tables

To remove the profile tables containing configuration information for a SIS instance, you can use the listprofiletables command to list them, and then removeprofiletable commands to remove them. For example:

$ ./rhino-console listprofiletables
sis-in-address-subscriptions
sis-in-compositions
sis-in-experimental-features
sis-in-ext-platforms
sis-in-extension-refs
sis-in-interceptor-refs
sis-in-interceptors
sis-in-macros
sis-in-network-interfaces
sis-in-network-routes
sis-in-service-key-subscriptions
sis-in-service-refs
sis-in-trigger-address-tracing
sis-in-triggers
sis-configs-in
sis-configs-sip
...
$ ./rhino-console removeprofiletable sis-in-address-subscriptions
Removed profile table sis-in-address-subscriptions
$ ./rhino-console removeprofiletable sis-in-service-key-subscriptions
Removed profile table sis-in-service-key-subscriptions
$ ./rhino-console removeprofiletable sis-in-trigger-address-tracing
Removed profile table sis-in-trigger-address-tracing
$ ./rhino-console removeprofiletable sis-in-interceptors
Removed profile table sis-in-interceptors
$ ./rhino-console removeprofiletable sis-in-compositions
Removed profile table sis-in-compositions
$ ./rhino-console removeprofiletable sis-in-macros
Removed profile table sis-in-macros
$ ./rhino-console removeprofiletable sis-in-triggers
Removed profile table sis-in-triggers
$ ./rhino-console removeprofiletable sis-in-network-interfaces
Removed profile table sis-in-network-interfaces
$ ./rhino-console removeprofiletable sis-in-network-routes
Removed profile table sis-in-triggers
$ ./rhino-console removeprofiletable sis-in-interceptor-refs
Removed profile table sis-in-interceptor-refs
$ ./rhino-console removeprofiletable sis-in-service-refs
Removed profile table sis-in-service-refs
$ ./rhino-console removeprofiletable sis-in-extension-refs
Removed profile table sis-in-extension-refs
$ ./rhino-console removeprofiletable sis-in-ext-platforms
Removed profile table sis-in-ext-platforms
$ ./rhino-console removeprofiletable sis-in-experimental-features
Removed profile table sis-in-experimental-features

Removal of the SIS instance is now complete.

Tip The SIS uninstallation process also automatically removes all SIS instances.

Reconfiguring a SIS Instance

You can reconfigure a SIS instance by:

Changing resource adaptor entity configuration properties

The SIS supports limited active reconfiguration (see section 15.4.2 of the JAIN SLEE 1.1 specification). Changes to some configuration properties while the SIS instance is ACTIVE will not take effect until you deactivate and reactivate the SIS instance (see below).

Warning

A SIS IN instance raises an alarm if it’s in the ACTIVE state and you try to change any configuration property that does not support active reconfiguration.

SIP network interfaces and network routes do not support active reconfiguration. IN network interfaces and network routes support active reconfiguration.

Changing MBean-managed configuration properties

If you change any MBean-managed configuration property of a SIS instance, generally before those changes take effect you must tell the instance to reload its configuration. The exceptions, when a forced configuration reload is not necessary, are:

  • any address or service key subscription provisioning changes (excluding changing the configured subscription profile table names)

  • any IN trigger address tracing provisioning changes (excluding changing the configured trigger address tracing profile table name)

  • changing any fine-grained tracing debug levels or component audit level settings.

Exporting SIS State

The SIS exporter tool sis-export exports the state of a SIS instance as an Ant script. The script, when executed with Ant, invokes a series of management commands to restore the state of that SIS instance into Rhino.

Warning The SIS exporter is not a standalone tool for generating an export image of a SIS instance in a Rhino SLEE. sis-export only exports the configuration state of a SIS instance, under the assumption that when the export script is run the SIS will have already been installed into Rhino and the SIS instance being configured recreated.

Below are details of what sis-export exports, instructions for using sis-export, a sample export, and list of files exported.

What does the SIS exporter export?

Below are listings of what sis-export does and does not export.

The SIS exporter exports from a SIS instance: The SIS exporter does not export:

  • deployable units installed in the SLEE, including:

    • deployable units for SIS and its dependencies

    • deployable units for any extension components or services used by their respective references in the SIS instance

  • profile tables used by the SIS instance

  • resource adaptor configuration properties used to recreate the SIS instance

  • SIS address or service key subscription information

    • subscription information may be too numerous to generate individual management operations for

  • SIS trigger address tracing information.

Tip You can export these items using the rhino-export shell script.

Export instructions

To export a SIS instance, use the sis-export tool in the SIS admin directory.

Warning You cannot run sis-export unless the Rhino SLEE is available and ready to accept management commands, and you include at least two arguments — the name of the SIS instance to export and the directory to write the export image to.

Command-line arguments

You can include the following command-line arguments with sis-export:

$ cd sis/2.5.4.10/admin
$ ./sis-export
Valid command line options are:
-h <host>            - The hostname to connect to.
-p <port>            - The port to connect to.
-u <username>        - The user to authenticate as.
-w <password>        - The password used for authentication.
-D                   - Display connection debugging messages.
-l                   - List SIS instances found in the Rhino connected to.
-f                   - Removes the output directory if it exists.
<sis-name>           - The name of the SIS instance to export.
<output-directory>   - The destination directory for the export.

Usually, only the <sis-name> and <output-directory> arguments must be
specified.
All other arguments will be read from 'client.properties' in the Rhino client
directory.

Sample SIS export

For example, an export might run as follows:

$ cd sis/2.5.4.10/admin
$ ./sis-export sis ../../../sis_export
Connecting to localhost:1199
Export complete

Exported files

The SIS exporter creates:

  • a new sub-directory, such as sis_export (as specified by the command-line parameter)

  • all macro, trigger, composition, and interceptor files that are installed in the SIS instance

  • an Ant script called build.xml, which can be used later to initiate the import process.

For example:

$ cd ../../../sis_export
$ ls
build.xml
compositions
import.properties
interceptors
macros
triggers

Exported files and directories include:

File or directory Description 
build.xml

The main Ant build file, which gives Ant the information it needs to import all the macros, triggers, compositions, and configuration state of this export directory into the SLEE.

 
import.properties

A file with configuration information that includes the location of the SIS directory containing the required Java libraries.

 
macros

A directory containing the macros installed in the SIS instance.

 
triggers

A directory containing the triggers installed in the SIS instance.

 
compositions

A directory containing the compositions installed in the SIS instance.

 
interceptors

A directory containing the interceptors installed in the SIS instance.

Importing SIS State

Below are instructions and an example of using sis-import to import an exported SIS instance.

Instructions

To import an exported SIS instance:

1

First, set up prerequisites for importing the exported SIS instance:

  • Install the SIS.

  • Create the SIS instance.

  • Install any services or extension components the SIS instance will depend on.

2

Then verify properties and run the import:

  • First check the import.properties file in the SIS export directory,
    and update it if necessary.

    This file defines a value for the sis.home property, which indicates the SIS install that will be used for the import (and consequently the Rhino SLEE that will be connected to).

  • To import the state of a SIS export directory into a Rhino SLEE, run the sis-import tool in the SIS admin directory, passing as a parameter the path of the SIS export directory.

    (You can also manually run Ant directly, specifying the build.xml file in the export directory as the Ant build file to run.)

Example

Below is a sample import of an exported SIS instance:

$ cd sis/2.5.0.0/admin
$ ./sis-import ../../../sis_export
Buildfile: ../../../sis_export/build.xml
[echo] Loading properties from sis/2.5.0.0/admin/etc/client.ant.properties...

Getting and Setting the SIP Originating Macro

To get or set the SIP originating macro, use the following sis-console command, Ant task, or related MBean operation:

Note
About the SIP Originating Macro

Unlike IN protocols, SIP has no standard for determining whether an initial request is as an "originating" or "terminating" trigger. This is network-specific.

The SIS needs to know whether the request is originating or terminating when it determines the trigger address tracing selectors for an initial request. The SIS uses a user-defined macro to do this for SIP.

This macro is specified using the commands below. It must return true if an initial request is an originating trigger. If the macro returns false, the SIS treats the request as if it was a terminating trigger. If no originating macro is configured, the SIS treats all initial requests as originating, for the purposes of trigger address tracing.
Tip This is a SIS feature for SIP.

Console commands

getSIPOriginatingMacro

Command

 
getsiporiginatingmacro <ra-entity>
    Get the currently configured SIP originating macro.

Example

 
$ sis-console getsiporiginatingmacro sipsis
Current originating macro is MacroID[name=IsOriginating,vendor=OpenCloud,version=1.0]

Originating macro set to MacroID[name=IsOriginating,vendor=OpenCloud,version=1.0]

Ant task

setSIPOriginatingMacro

Task

 
<setsiporiginatingmacro>
    <macro name="..." vendor="..." version="..."/>
</setsiporiginatingmacro>

Example

 
<sis-management>
    ...
    <setsiporiginatingmacro>

Reloading SIS Configuration

To reload the SIS configuration, use the following sis-console command, Ant task, or related MBean operation.

Warning The SIS caches its configuration for performance reasons. Changes to SIS components, such as installing, uninstalling or activating components, do not take effect immediately. The SIS must explicitly reload its components to apply any changes.

Console command

reload

Getting and Setting the Service Application Context Override

To get or set the application context override for a service, use the following sis-console commands, Ant task, or related MBean operations:

Tip This is a SIS feature for IN.
Note The default behaviour of the SIS is to trigger composition services using a dialog of the same application context as the network dialog. The application context override option allows a service to be instead triggered with a specific application context, typically different to the expected network dialog application context. For example, the service may only support a particular protocol.
Warning This option does not provide protocol translation. If protocol translation is required between the network dialog application context and the service dialog application context, then this must be provided via SIS interceptor components.

Console commands

Detecting Failed External Addresses

The SIS can automatically detect when an external address has failed, and when it becomes available again. This page describes the possible states of an external address, how the SIS performs automatic failure detection and repair, and the configuration parameters that control this behaviour.

How the SIS views the state of external addresses

External addresses in the SIS may be in one of three states:

State Description 
INACTIVE

The external address has been deactivated, and the SIS will not direct calls to it.

 
ACTIVE

The external address has been activated and the SIS may direct calls to it, according to the external platform’s address selection policy.

 
FAILED

The external address was active, but the SIS has detected a failure, and will not direct calls to the address.
Note You can view the current state of an external platform definition’s external addresses by using the dumpexternalplatform sis-console command.

How the SIS detects failed addresses

The SIS detects failed addresses by monitoring the outcome of calls to each address. When a call attempt fails (for example due to a service timeout), the SIS records that failure. If too many failures occur in a given interval, the SIS marks the address as FAILED and raises an alarm.

Several things can cause an external address failure, such as: the external server being offline; a network problem between the SIS and the external server; a SIS configuration error (for example, an incorrect address).

When the SIS detects an external address failure, it automatically:

  • raises an alarm to inform the operator

  • stops directing calls to the failed address (changes its state to FAILED)

  • monitors the address, to detect when it becomes available again.

Note Automatic failure detection can be disabled by setting the external platform’s detectInterval parameter to 0. In this case, the address will remain in the ACTIVE state indefinitely, until it is deactivated. The SIS will continue trying to use the address even if it has failed.

How the SIS detects when failed addresses are repaired

The SIS can optionally monitor failed addresses to automatically detect when they have been repaired. The SIS does this by periodically trying the failed address in an actual call, when the external platform is invoked in a service composition. The SIS records the outcome of the call, and if enough of these periodic call attempts succeed, the SIS makes the address available again.

When an external address has been repaired, the SIS automatically:

  • clears the alarm that was raised when the address failed

  • resumes directing calls to the address (changes its state to ACTIVE)

  • monitors the address to detect if it fails.

Note Automatic repair of failed addresses can be disabled by setting the external platform’s retryInterval parameter to 0. In this case, the address will remain in the FAILED state indefinitely, until an administrator manually repairs the address.

External platform definition parameters for failure detection and recovery

The parameters below are configured by updating the external platform definition. The parameters apply to all external addresses in the external platform definition.

Parameter Description Default 
detectInterval

The interval (ms) between checking the proportion of failed calls for each of this platform’s active addresses.
Set to 0 to disable automatic failure detection.

 
5000
 
detectThreshold

The proportion of failed calls (between 0.0 and 1.0) occurring in a detection interval. If this threshold is exceeded in a detection interval, the SIS marks the address as failed.

 
0.5

(50%)

 
retryInterval

The interval (ms) between attempts to retry a failed address, to see if it has recovered.
Set to 0 to disable automatic repair of failed addresses.

 
30000
 
retryAttempts

The number of consecutive retry attempts that must succeed before the SIS will begin using a failed address again.

 
3

Repairing Failed External Addresses

To repair failed addresses in an external platform definition, use the following sis-console commands or related MBean operations.

Warning An external address that has failed must be repaired before the SIS can resume using it.
Note

The SIS can repair addresses automatically (see Detecting Failed External Addresses). However it may be necessary to repair addresses manually if:

  • automatic repair has been disabled in the external platform definition

  • the administrator wants to immediately resume using the address, rather than waiting for automatic repair.

Managing Extension References

An extension reference identifies an extension component.

Note

There are two types of extension component supported by the SIS:

  • service composition selection extension component, used during the triggering phase

  • interceptor extension component, used in composition interceptors.

SIS extension components are implemented as JAIN SLEE services, and an extension reference identifies an extension component using its SLEE service component identifier.

The Extension Reference Management MBean includes operations for performing the following procedures on a SIS instance.

sis-console command(s) MBean(s) → Operation 
createextensionref
 
Extension Reference Management → createServiceExtensionRef
 
listextensionrefs
dumpextensionref
