This document provides an introduction and overview of the Service Interaction SLEE (SIS) — OpenCloud’s script-driven, JAIN SLEE compliant, service-interaction engine. The SIS lets developers script service-logic interactions that can handle any application, network service, or protocol — hosted on Rhino as well as other, more traditional platforms.
Audience
This document is aimed at readers who:
-
have a general, high-level understanding of telecommunications networks and IT systems
-
are familiar with the OpenCloud Rhino platform and SLEE concepts
-
wish to understand how SLEE services can be composed to form new services, and how the SIS achieves this.
Scope
This document’s scope is limited to providing an overview of the SIS concepts. Installation and configuration is covered in the SIS Administration Guide. Writing SIS triggers and service compositions is covered by the SIS Visual Interaction Architect (VIA) User Guide.
The Case for Service Brokers and Service Interaction
On the one hand, operators must run multiple networks (2G, 2.5G, 3G, IMS), and somehow have a unified set of service offerings across these networks for their subscribers.
Operators are under pressure
There are also new networks with new capabilities, such as IMS, to consider and challenges from new entrants with new delivery mechanisms (WiMAX, VOIP, and so on).
On the other hand, many services are becoming ubiquitous (Voice, Prepaid, SMS) and ARPU for these services is under attack. So:
The service development and delivery mechanisms of the past are not flexible or powerful enough to provide answers to these questions. A new approach is needed.
A new approach to service development and delivery
Operators need to maximise the return on investment in their existing networks and services, whilst at the same time reducing the barriers to future innovation. They need to embrace new networks and technologies, whilst at the same time minimising the impact on their subscribers of migration to these new networks and technologies.
…there is a forward-looking imperative brewing. In operator surveys, the need to accelerate time-to-market for new services consistently comes out as a top driver for the acquisition of new service creation and delivery technology.
Vol 4 No 4
Operators need the ability to make new products by re-using existing products (and/or components of products) and augmenting existing products.
In order to bring new products to market more quickly, operators recognize they need service reuse as part of the mix. Operators are interested in new service creation and delivery architectures that support the assembly of telecom products from re-usable service components.
Vol 4 No 4
Benefits of Using the SIS
Generally, "service logic" and "interaction logic" are intertwined and together provide services. Most operators run many services (sometimes also referred to as "applications"), hosted on multiple Service Control points (SCPs). With operator consolidation and competitive sourcing of SCPs and services, commonly a single network will use both SCPs and services from several vendors.
Why not use "service chaining"?
To combine these disparate services — and get around the SS7 signaling system limitation of only a single service controlling a call — operators often use "service chaining". This method alters telephone numbers in signaling messages, to make a series of services appear as a single service to the switch.
This works, but puts a great load on core network elements. For simple interactions, the core network must trigger the service layer many times, using numbering plans for feature interaction. For example, for a particular service, the switch would call the service layer (the SCP). By reconfiguring the SCP, when the switch gets a resulting message back, the "dialed number" transfers to another number that prompts a look-up, which sends it back to the SCP again, invoking another service (and so on).
The drawbacks to service chaining include:
-
New application insertion is difficult, because it requires re-configuration and feature modification of core networks and any new SCPs.
-
Operators may have difficulty making changes, because interaction requirements mean SCP application logic is tightly coupled.
-
As you have more and more services, and more and more combinations, the whole thing gets harder and harder to change and maintain.
How the SIS Benefits a SLEE
Unfortunately, the benefits of SI don’t extend to a JSLEE hosting multiple services, unless you combine it with a SIS.
The problem: coordinating multiple services processing multiple events
In a conventional SLEE configuration: A resource adaptor gets a request from the network, converts it into a SLEE event, and then fires that event into the SLEE. The SLEE event router then determines which SLEE services are interested in receiving the event, and then passes that event to those services in priority order.
Typically just one service will process an event, but the SLEE model allows more than one service to process the same event. On the surface this sounds like service interaction, given that it allows many services to process the same event. However there are two big problems:
-
The order of event processing is inflexible, depending only on the services'
default-priorityvalues — so different scenarios cannot have different priorities. -
When processing events, services can easily send network messages or change activity states — potentially making those activities unusable to subsequent services.
For example, one service may decide to disconnect a call. The SLEE has no knowledge of the protocol, and will continue passing the event to subsequent services despite the call being disconnected. The subsequent services then fail (because they cannot use a disconnected call).
The solution: controlled service interaction
The SIS solves such problems by managing service interaction intelligently — by letting services operate independently (without concern for what other services are doing). The SIS does this using a combination of the following techniques:
-
taking over some of the SLEE’s event-routing functions, so it can pass events to configurable sets of services, according to parameters in the request
-
understanding particular network protocols, so it can present each service with a virtual view of real network activity, and control whether or not a service can directly affect that real activity
-
intercepting any operations that services perform affecting activity state, and ensuring that subsequent services see any updated states
-
applying all changes to real network activity, and only sending appropriate protocol-specific messages once all interested services have processed an event.
About the SIS
The OpenCloud Service Interaction SLEE (SIS) provides service brokering and service interaction functionality for both SS7 and IMS networks. The OpenCloud SIS is a very powerful, flexible, and extendable, script-driven service-interaction platform that is part of the OpenCloud Rhino product suite. OpenCloud SIS can be used as standalone middleware, or as an integral part of the OpenCloud Rhino platform.
The SIS builds on the power of the Rhino platform, so it can support local JAIN SLEE services (acting as an IN SCP or a SIP AS). The SIS can trigger and control both local and external services — and let you combine them into more complex services.
With an OpenCloud SIS, developers can:
-
Script service-logic interactions that can handle any application, network service, or protocol — hosted on Rhino or another platform (such as traditional SCPs)
-
Separate the interaction logic (executed in the SIS) from the service code
-
Combine multiple independent services (including a combination of SCP, SIP AS and Rhino-hosted services) to form new services
-
Manage service interaction by isolating and controlling how services interact.

Support for IN and SIP
The OpenCloud SIS supports different network protocols, including:
The OpenCloud SIS builds on the Rhino platform, so local services can use all of the OpenCloud resource APIs available (for example, MAP, Diameter, HTTP, SOAP, SMPP, MM7 and so on). |
SIS Architecture
Below are details of the role the SIS plays in the network and a high level and more detailed view of the SIS internal architecture.
Role of the SIS in the network architecture
Current networks can be seen as having two layers:
-
The control layer, which includes signaling elements, such as service switching points (SSP) in SS7 networks and CSCF in IMS networks
-
The services layer, which includes signaling control elements triggered by the network on behalf of subscribers, such as service control points (SCP) in SS7 networks and SIP Application Servers in IMS networks.
The OpenCloud SIS interposes a service-interaction layer between the service and control layers. The OpenCloud SIS controls the sequence of services that it invokes, managing and coordinating the interaction between each service. The output from a service may influence the choice of which service the SIS invokes next.
From the perspective of:
-
the control layer — the SIS looks like one service that is interacting with the network
-
each service — the SIS looks like the control layer
-
the service interaction layer — multiple services are being triggered on one session.
| |
Services may be in external network elements such as an SCP or SIP AS, or be deployed with the OpenCloud SIS (as a JAIN SLEE service). |
High level SIS architecture
Below is a diagram followed by descriptions of the SIS subsystems.
Scripting |
User-provided scripts control the services that the SIS invokes for each call. The SIS defines a script syntax for compositions, which specify a collection of services and the order in which the SIS should invoke them; and triggers, which specify the service compositions the SIS should select in response to individual network triggers. The SIS also includes a number of pre-defined service-interaction rules, which dictate how the SIS should handle the different outcomes that a service can generate. Composition scripts can influence the behaviour of many pre-defined rules. TIP: OpenCloud’s Visual Interaction Architect (VIA) is a visual design environment with a graphical interface you can use for building and scripting SIS components (triggers, compositions, and macros). |
|---|---|
Service-interaction engine |
The service-interaction engine is responsible for:
|
Services |
Without services to invoke, the SIS would have an easy life indeed! Local services, implemented as JAIN SLEE services, reside within the local Rhino SLEE. The SIS uses a virtual view of the call, so it receives outcomes for consideration without directly affecting the actual call in the network. The SIS can also invoke services residing in external SIP ASs or IN SCPs by using new network triggers. |
Management |
You can manage all facets of the SIS (such as trigger and composition deployment, user subscription provisioning, and other administration tasks) using a standard management interface. You can also monitor the SIS through various statistics that it records and reports using Rhino’s statistics monitoring subsystem. And the SIS includes several pre-defined alarm conditions, such as raising an alarm whenever a connection to the network is lost. |
SIS internal architecture in more detail
Below is a diagram followed by descriptions of the SIS internal architecture in more detail.
SIS management |
You can manage all facets of the SIS (such as trigger and composition deployment, user subscription provisioning, and other administration tasks) using a standard management interface. This interface consists of a collection of JMX MBeans and a command-line tool (sis-console). A SIS extension module for the Rhino Element Manager is also available. |

SIS monitoring |
To support the critical need to monitor SIS behaviour in real time, administrators can:
|
||
Rhino SLEE |
The SIS is built on the Rhino SLEE platform. As such it includes all the capabilities of Rhino — all JAIN SLEE features (for example, the JAIN SLEE resource adaptor architecture) and all Rhino features (such as the statistics client, threshold-based alarms, clustering, and so on). The SIS can run JAIN SLEE services, which can any of the resource adaptors in the OpenCloud portfolio (such as SMPP, HTTP, MAP, SOAP, and so on).
|
||
Service-interaction customisation |
While the SIS scripting language is very flexible, some service-interaction scenarios may require further customisation. For those situations, the SIS provides very powerful Java-based extension capabilities.
Service-composition selection Java API
You can use a service-composition selector extension Java component as part of the service-composition selection process. These components can use all capabilities of the Rhino platform (such as any resource adaptor, JDBC, and so on). A common use case is to query an operator-specific platform, such as a subscriber database, as a part of the service-composition selection process.
Service-composition extension Java API
The SIS service-composition scripts are very powerful, with features such as conditional branching and the ability to adjust signaling parameters. For maximum flexibility and power, you can use a service composition extension Java component as a part of the execution of a service composition. These components can use all the capabilities of the Rhino platform. A common use-case is to query to an operator specific platform, such as a subscriber database, and adjust signaling parameters based on the query result.
|
||
Service-interaction engine |
The service-interaction engine is the core of the SIS, that responds to incoming requests, assigns them to a service composition for processing, and then manages and runs the service composition to completion.
Service composition selection
The service-composition selection function evaluates trigger scripts for each new session that reaches the SIS, and determines which service composition should be run. See The SIS Service-Interaction Model for more detail on this process.
Protocol state machines
The SIS service-interaction engine understands the protocol state machines of a number of protocols. It ensures that the signaling between the SIS and the network, and between the SIS and each triggered service, follows these protocol rules. It also ensures that the results of the services that are triggered will result in appropriate interaction with any other service that is part of the service composition. For example, if a service decides to release a call, the SIS will ensure that the other services that were due to be invoked as a part of the service composition will not be invoked. The scripting language and the extension capabilities can be used to affect, or override, the protocol rules.
Composition executors
The composition executors are the part of the service interaction engine that runs service compositions. The composition executors run the service-composition scripts, invoke extension Java components, and apply the rules of the protocol state machines. The composition executors also include protocol-specific features for invoking services in external platforms (such as a SIP proxy).
|
The SIS Service-Interaction Model
The service-interaction model defines how the SIS:
Selecting a service composition
Upon receiving a request from the network, the SIS determines the set of services — called a composition — to handle that request. The composition specifies both the services and the order in which the SLEE will invoke them.
When the SIS receives an initial request, it performs some processing to select which composition to execute. This process of selecting the composition is called triggering. The SIS can be configured with many trigger rules, to specify how it selects which compositions to execute for different types of initial requests.
The SIS evaluates each trigger in order, until it finds one that applies to the incoming request. Each trigger has:
-
a trigger condition, that the SIS can evaluate to determine whether the trigger applies
-
a set of service composition selectors, that the trigger uses to select a service composition from the set of service compositions provisioned in the SIS
-
an optional failure clause, for the SIS to execute if trigger doesn’t select a service composition for processing.
| |
Triggers and compositions are specified in XML. See also Triggers. |
Including local and external services
A service composition specifies a particular service-combination scenario. For example, a particular user may require PrePay Charging, VPN, and Call Screening functionality. A composition defines which services can be invoked for a given scenario, and the order in which those services can be invoked. A composition can also include branches, so that certain services are only invoked under particular circumstances.
The services in a composition can be any combination of local SLEE services and external services. In the above example, the VPN and Call Screening services might be implemented in external network nodes, while the PrePay Charging service runs as a local service and interacts with a Diameter online charging system. The SIS treats both local and external services the same when it comes to interaction management, as shown below:
Running a service composition
When invoking services in a composition, the SIS passes the request to each service in turn, then waits for the outcome from the service. Each outcome is protocol-specific — it may be a response generated by the service or a new request, depending on the protocol. Once the SIS receives the outcome, it determines which service in the composition to invoke next, and repeats the process, until all necessary services have been invoked. Finally, the SIS sends a response to the original request back to the network (as appropriate for the protocol).
As part of this process, the SIS isolates the services from each other — as far as each service knows, it is the only one handling the request. The SIS ensures each service gets the request in the right order, and any changes the service makes get to the next service according to the network protocol. For example, if a service adds SIP headers to the request, the SIS ensures they are visible to subsequent services in the composition.
SIS service chains
The following diagram shows a service composition, as a directed, a-cyclic graph of services to execute, with branching points that the SIS evaluates as it processes the initial request:
The righthand side of the diagram shows all the possible service chains that can result from processing an initial request to completion. A service chain is a subset of services in the composition that the SIS has selected to run for a particular request. Once built, the SIS uses the service chain for all subsequent related requests (for example, the SIS uses the same service chain for all messages on an SS7 dialog).
In this particular example, the service composition includes six services (S a, S b, S c, S d, S e, S f), and two decision points (C 1 and C 2) where a different path through the service composition is possible.
Processing initial and subsequent requests
The SIS treats incoming requests as either:
-
an initial request — a request that creates a new protocol-specific activity, such as the
InitialDPrequest on a new CAP dialog, or anINVITEon a new SIP dialog -
subsequent requests — requests on already-established activities, such as the CAP
EventReportBCSMoperation, or a mid-dialogSIP NOTIFYrequest.
Initial requests
When the initial request fires through each service in the composition, the SIS keeps track of which services are interested in receiving future requests on the activity. How it works depends on the network protocol:
-
The SIS for IN tracks the services that want to monitor a dialog, by inspecting the
RequestReportBCSMEventoperations that each service emits. -
The SIS for SIP looks for services that insert
Record-Routeheaders in a dialog-creating request.
An IN example — processing the initial request
The following diagram is an SS7 example based on the service composition in the bxref:#[executing compositions tab.
In this example the SIS has received an originating InitialDP with calling party A and called party B.
-
The SIS invokes service
SCP A. This service processes thisInitialDPand directs the call to a different destination (B2). It does not wish to monitor the call further so does not arm any events. The SIS will not involve this service further in the composition. -
The SIS then evaluates condition
C 1. In this case the result is that the next service to trigger in the composition isSCP B. -
The SIS invokes service
SCP B. This service processes theInitialDP, arms some events, and sends aContinue -
The SIS then evaluates condition
C 2. The next service to trigger in the composition isSCP F. -
The SIS invokes service
SCP F. This service processes theInitialDP, arms some events, and sends aContinue -
The SIS finally sends a final result to the network on behalf of the service composition. In this case the SIS arms some events (based on the events armed by
SCP BandSCP Fand sends aConnect.
Subsequent requests
When a subsequent request arrives, the SIS passes it to those interested services, in the appropriate order for the protocol. So the initial request for an activity determines the path for subsequent requests on that activity.
Continuing the IN example — processing subsequent requests
The destination party (B2) answers the call. The SIS has received an EventReportBCSM for O-Answer. The only services that remain in the service composition are SCP B and SCP F. The SIS delivers the EventReportBCSM to services in the reverse direction that the InitialDP was processed, as the reported event relates to the destination party. In this case SCP F is invoked before SCP B.
SIS Features
OpenCloud’s SIS includes the following features:
| |
For details about a particular feature, please see the SIS Administration Guide. |
Comprehensive service interaction scripting
The OpenCloud SIS is a very powerful, flexible, and extendable, script-driven service-interaction platform. You can write SIS scripts to:
-
Define trigger rules that control how an incoming request is mapped to a service composition that should be used to process it
-
Combine multiple services (including a combination of SCP, SIP AS and Rhino-hosted services) in a service composition — to form new service offerings
-
Manage service interaction to isolate and control how services interact
-
Adjust signaling parameters before, and after services are invoked
Powerful Java APIs for extending the SIS
Whilst the SIS scripting language is very flexible, some service-interaction scenarios may require further customisation. For maximum power and flexibility, you can augmente the SIS via very powerful Java-based extension capabilities and invoke Java extension components from SIS scripts. For example, you can query an operator specific platform, such as a subscriber database, to adjust signaling parameters based on the query result.
The table below compares the relative capabilities of a composition script versus an extension component:
| Composition Script | Extension Component | |
|---|---|---|
Protocol knowledge |
Limited to triggering protocol |
Can use any protocol available in the SLEE |
Signaling parameters that can be modified |
Limited to those provided by SIS variables |
Any |
Access to provisioned data |
None |
Any arbitrary internal or external data store |
Monitor and change signaling parameters
With SIS extension capabilities, you can inspect and modify call-signaling parameters between the time the SIS decides to invoke a particular composition service and when it actually does. You can use this feature, for example, to select a specific external SCP or AS when triggering an external service, and modify call parameters before the trigger message is sent.
Comprehensive operations and management
You can manage the SIS by:
-
Command-line —
sis-console, a command-line console, provides access to almost all SIS configuration functions, and all SIS management and provisioning functions. Thesis-consoleis an extension to the Rhino Command-Line Console (rhino-console), so you can manage both Rhino and SIS from the same session.
or
-
Standard management interfaces — any external client that can manage Rhino can also manage the SIS using interfaces defined as JMX MBeans, registered with the platform MBean server.

Online administration
The SIS supports administration and maintenance while actively processing network traffic. SIS components (such as macros, triggers, and service compositions) can be installed, upgraded, and removed from the SIS, subscribers provisioned, and other administration tasks performed all without loss of service. Moreover, you can use an internal audit-management function to validate the SIS configuration (for example, to find any service composition referencing a SLEE service that has not been activated).
Powerful and flexible fine-grained tracing
Debugging service problems experienced by individual subscribers can be difficult at the best of times. The SIS provides a targeted or fine-grained tracing feature that lets you enable various levels of debugging for specific service compositions or subscribed addresses. This means you do not need to enable debug logging for all calls that pass through the SIS — which can can overwhelmingly degrade performance — when you’re only interested in calls to (or with reference to) particular addresses, or that trigger certain compositions. With fine-grained tracing, you can debug isolated problems easily — without affecting the user experience of all other subscribers (whose calls are routed through the platform).
Example fine-grained tracing

Auditing
The SIS can keep an audit trail of key decisions made during processing of trigger events. You can enable audit logging for specific service compositions or subscribed addresses, or globally for all calls. The SIS outputs audit logs to their own SLEE tracer, so they can be easily filtered to a separate file log.

SIS Components
You configure the SIS by installing and activating components, which:
-
define macros, triggers, or service compositions
-
are described by XML files
-
are managed like SLEE components (such as SBBs and services) — uniquely identified by a component identifier (consisting of
Name,VendorandVersionstrings); and controlled using JMX MBean interfaces, a command-line tool, and Ant tasks that perform operations on the MBeans. -
can include expressions, which compare the properties of network messages to predefined or computed values.
The following topics describe the SIS components, expressions, and provision for user extensions supported by the SIS:
Triggers
Before the SIS can execute a composition, it must first decide which composition to run. Triggers use rules and conditional logic to define how the SIS selects a composition when it receives an initial request. Multiple triggers may be active at the same time, and the SIS will evaluate them sequentially in order of their priority.
The SIS executes the first composition that a trigger successfully returns (using the initial request as input). If evaluating all triggers returns no compositions, the SIS considers the initial request invalid and replies with a failure response.
What’s in a trigger?
A trigger contains the following information:
-
an optional description
-
name, vendor, and version identifiers
-
a priority, which the SIS uses to determine the order in which it evaluates triggers — ranging from 127 (highest) to -128 (lowest)
-
references to any required macros, compositions, or services
-
a condition expression
-
rules for selecting a composition: zero or more selectors and optional terminate clauses.
Evaluating triggers
The following pseudo-code describes how the SIS evaluates triggers when processing an initial request it receives from the network:
Set T = set of all active triggers
while T is not empty
remove highest priority trigger from T
if trigger condition evaluates to true
// process selectors
for each selector in the trigger
invoke selector
if selector returns a valid composition
return selected composition as trigger result
endif
if selector returns a terminate result
// a Service Composition Selection event returned a "terminate" result
return terminate result as trigger result
endif
endfor
// process terminate clause
if selector contains a terminate clause
return terminate clause as trigger result
endif
endif
endwhile
// no active triggers were satisfied
return SIS generic failure result as trigger result| |
About the generic failure result
The SIS defines the generic failure result as a last-ditch attempt to return a trigger selection result. OpenCloud highly recommends a set of triggers that provide their own failure handling (rather than relying on the SIS generic failure result) — for example, by using a trigger such as the generic failure handler. The SIS generic failure result for |
Trigger conditions
Whether the SIS tries to use a trigger depends on its condition:
-
If the condition evaluates to
true, the SIS evaluates the selectors and/or failure clause. -
If the condition evaluates to
false, the SIS disregards the trigger (for that initial request).
The following example has a trigger condition that checks for INVITE messages that correspond to originating access. The trigger condition checks to see that the SIP method is INVITE and also checks for the presence of an orig parameter in the Route uri. If the condition is true (<match> in the diagram), then the SIS will execute the trigger body to select a composition. If the condition is not true, then the SIS will move on to the next trigger (<next-trigger> in the diagram).
Trigger syntax schema
The base XML schema sis-trigger-1.6.xsd defines the basic structure of a trigger. SIS variants extend this base schema with protocol-specific properties.
IN Triggers
Triggers for IN protocols may use the XML schema in-sis-trigger-1.6.xsd to extend the generic schema for SIS triggers. The corresponding schema namespaces used by such triggers is shown below:

The following trigger processes originating IN initial requests first by normalising the A party numbers, and then by using the normalised values in a profile selection based on address subscription. If that fails, it tries to select a composition using a service key subscription profile. If that too fails, the trigger returns with a User Error failure response that indicates a missing customer record.
IN example: VIA diagram
In this IN example, the SIS will evaluate the trigger body if it’s part of an originating trigger, and the calling party number can be normalised. If the condition applies, it then try to locate a composition:
-
by searching the
address-subscriptionstable for the normalisedredirecting-party-id -
by searching the
address-subscriptionstable for the normalisedcalling-party-number -
by searching the
service-key-subscriptionstable for theservice-key.
If none of that works, it terminates with a missing customer record user error, recorded in statistics as a failure.

The following trigger matches initial SIP INVITE requests that have the "orig" (originating) parameter set in the Route header. If a request matches, the trigger uses the From header’s URI to select the composition. If the trigger does not find a matching composition, it returns a 404 error response to the client.
SIP example: VIA diagram
In this SIP example, the SIS will evaluate the trigger body if it has received an originating INVITE request. If the condition applies, it tries to locate a composition by searching the originating-address table for the From header’s URI. If that does not work, it fails with a SIP 404 error response.

</trigger>Composition Selection
A SIS trigger may contain zero or more selectors, which the SIS evaluates only if the trigger condition evaluates to true. The SIS evaluates the selectors in the order they are declared in the trigger, until one of them finds a valid composition (or an extension component returns a terminate result instead). Below are descriptions of how selectors look for valid compositions by constant value, profile table lookup or extension component.
Constant value
A selector may search for a valid composition using a constant value. In this case, the trigger references and aliases the identity of the composition for the SIS to execute, and the selector’s <composition-alias-ref> element uses that alias name. For example:
| VIA notation | Script XML |
|---|---|
|
|
 |
When the SIS invokes the selector, if the SIS cannot find the composition, the selector fails and the SIS continues rule processing as if the selector did not exist. |
Profile table lookup
A profile-lookup selector requests that the SIS search profiles for the identity of a composition for the SIS to execute. These selectors specify a scheme that tells the SIS which profile table contains the profiles to search, and a key that identifies which variable’s value to use to index the profile table.
The SIS performs the following searches for address or service key subscriptions:
| Protocol | Scheme | Searches | Key | If found… |
|---|---|---|---|---|
IN |
address-subscriptions |
address subscriptions |
string variable (assumed to be a subscribable address) |
…gets from that profile the component identifier of the relevant composition provisioned for the subscription (originating, terminating, or third-party call, depending on the trigger type). |
IN |
service-key-subscriptions |
service key subscriptions |
integer variable |
|
SIP |
originating-address |
address subscriptions |
string variable (assumed to be a subscribable address) |
…returns origination composition from that subscription |
SIP |
terminating-address |
address subscriptions |
string variable (assumed to be a subscribable address) |
…returns terminating composition from that subscription |
The selector succeeds if:
-
a subscription profile is found
-
a relevant composition is provisioned
-
that composition exists.
The selector fails if:
-
the SIS cannot find a subscription profile with the specified scheme and key
-
the SIS finds a subscription profile, but without a composition provisioned for the relevant trigger type (originating, terminating, or third-party call)
-
the SIS finds a subscription profile with a composition provisioned for the trigger type, but that composition does not exist.
If the selector fails, the SIS continues rule processing as if the selector did not exist.
For example:
| VIA notation | Script XML |
|---|---|
|
|
Extension component
You can invoke an extension component for a composition-selection process more complex than predefined selectors can describe. For example, you might need to interrogate an external subscription database or analyse particular initial request parameters to determine which composition to select.
In this case, the trigger references a extension component of type SCS that has previously been defined in the SIS. For example:
| VIA notation | Script XML |
|---|---|
|
|
If the extension component does not respond to the selection request within a predefined (configurable) timeout period, or the extension component returns the identity of a composition that does not exist, the SIS assumes the selector failed to find a composition, and continues evaluating any remaining triggers, following the algorithm described in Triggers.
If the extension component returns an error response, trigger processing is aborted immediately with the specified error being returned to the network to terminate call handling, as if a terminate clause had been executed.
| |
Read more about SIS extensions here. |
Terminate Clauses
A terminate clause says what to do if no selector in a trigger succeeds in finding a valid composition.
When the SIS encounters a terminate clause it will stop further trigger evaluation, and may send a protocol-specific message to the network to terminate call handling. The base XML schema for triggers defines the simplest terminate clause, the empty <terminate> element. If the SIS encounters this terminate clause, it will perform its default termination action.
For IN, the terminate clause defines whether the termination should be recorded in statistics as a success or failure outcome. Where appropriate, the terminate clause also defines how the SIS terminates the dialog with the dialog-termination parameter. Valid values for this parameter are:
-
none — The SIS will not terminate the dialog
-
close — The SIS sends the response within a
TC_END(with basic end) -
user-abort — The SIS sends the response within a
TC_CONTINUEthen tears down the dialog with aTC_U_ABORT.
The default terminate action is to respond with a User Error with error code missing-customer-record, and to abort the dialog. This is recorded in statistics as a failure outcome.
For SIP, the default termination action is to send a Forward response, to forward the request to the next hop.
Terminate clauses for IN
The following terminate clauses may be used in an SIS IN trigger definition: User Error, Continue, Release, Connect, ConnectSMS, Redirect, Relay, No Response.
User Error
Description |
A User Error response. The error response code may be |
|---|---|
Example: XML |

Relay
Description |
A Relay response. A dialog is opened towards the target external platform and the initial request is relayed to it, after which the incoming and relayed dialogs are terminated locally. Further communication on the dialog continues directly between the dialog originator and the external platform. A nested terminate clause must be specified for this option, which is invoked in the event the relay fails (for example, if an outgoing dialog cannot be created, or a TC_CONTINUE has already been sent on the incoming dialog). |

Compositions
The main job of the SIS is to evaluate compositions, to control invoking services.
Composition components specify which services to invoke, when. They may include conditional logic, to invoke different services depending on parameters in the request, or the outcome of earlier services in the composition.
| |
What’s in a composition?
A composition contains the following information:
|
| |
Care should be taken to make sure compositions invoke services in a sensible order. For example, services that perform some form of authorization would typically run before the others. |
| |
Management operations on the SIS define the services that compositions can use. See the SIS Administration Guide for more information. |
Below is a sample composition, and a description of schema syntax.
Sample composition
The example below shows a simple composition that invokes two services. Its main elements are: composition-name/vendor/version, which defines this composition’s component identity; service-ref, which declares the services that this composition requires; and script, which specifies how to invoke those services.

SIS administrators write a composition script for each combination of services that is appropriate for their network.
A composition script is a set of script statements that the SIS evaluates in the order they appear in the script.
Composition scripts may include the following statements:

Some statements may be nested. For example the body of an if statement may include other if statements. |
invoke (composition script)
A composition service is invoked using an <invoke> element.
Below are possible attributes and child elements for an <invoke> element, plus an example script and diagram:
Example
The following script invokes composition services using the <invoke> element with different options. The first service (VPN) will use a timeout value of 1500 ms; the second service (HomeZone) will use all the defaults; and the last service (PrePay) is so important that if it times out, the processing of the service composition will be terminated.
Attributes and child elements
Below are possible attributes and child elements for an <invoke> element

Message Handling Options
The SIS has certain default behaviours that it performs when handling messages received from a composition service. Message handling options can be used to alter the default behaviours for specific message types.
Message handling options are specified using the <message-handle-options> element within an
How messaged handling options work
Below is an example of how you might use message handling options:
<invoke service="...">
<message-handling-options>
<message-handling-option .../>
<message-handling-option .../>
<message-handling-option .../>
</message-handling-options>
</invoke>Any number of valid message handling options can be specified for a service or parallel block. The base XML schema for message handling options defines the simplest option, the empty <message-failure-option> element. This option by itself has no effect on the SIS.
For IN, message handling options specify up to three attributes:
| Attribute Name | Required? | Description |
|---|---|---|
on-message |
✔ |
A message type. |
action |
✔ |
The action to perform if a message of the given type is encountered. |
is-failure |
✘ |
Relevant only for message types that could be considered a service error or failure. |
For certain actions, a <terminate> child element may also be included with the <message-handling-option> element. It specifies a terminate clause that the SIS will use to send a response for the current event.
Open Refuse
This option specifies the behaviour of the SIS when it receives an Open Refuse response from a service. The default behaviour, if this option is undeclared, is equivalent to:
<in:message-handling-option on-message="open-refuse" action="ignore-service-and-continue" is-failure="true"/>| Action | Failure? | Description and example |
|---|---|---|
ignore-service-and-continue |
true |
Initial request service failure handling behaviour is first invoked. For external services this may mean a standby external address is contacted. Assuming a local service, no standby, or the standby also refuses the dialog, service failure statistics are recorded, the service is removed from the composition, and composition evaluation continues for the initial request. |
false |
No initial request service failure handling behaviour is invoked, and no service failure statistics are recorded. The service is simply removed from the composition, and composition evaluation continues for the initial request. |
|
terminate-processing |
true |
Processing of the initial request is terminated and service failure statistics are recorded. If no |
false |
Processing of the initial request is terminated. No service failure statistics are recorded. If no |
User Abort
This option specifies the behaviour of the SIS when it receives a User Abort from a service. The default behaviour, if this option is undeclared, is equivalent to:
<in:message-handling-option on-message="user-abort" action="propagate" is-failure="true"/>| |
If a service receives an Open Request and responds with a User Abort on that dialog before sending any Delimiter, that User Abort will be handled according to the behaviour defined for Open Refuse. |
| Action | Failure? | Description and example |
|---|---|---|
ignore-service-and-continue |
true |
Service failure handling behaviour is first invoked. For external services this may mean a standby external address is contacted if the initial request is still being processed. Assuming a local service, no standby, the standby also aborts the dialog, or the standby cannot be invoked given the current call state, service failure statistics are recorded, the service is removed from the composition, and processing of any current event continues. |
false |
No service failure handling behaviour is invoked, and no service failure statistics are recorded. The service is simply removed from the composition, and processing of any current event continues. |
|
terminate-processing |
true |
Processing of any current event is terminated and service failure statistics are recorded. If no |
false |
Processing of any current event is terminated. No service failure statistics are recorded. If no |
|
propagate |
true |
The user abort is propagated towards the network dialog. Handling of the user abort moves to the next outer level in the SIS; for example, a user abort propagated from an |
false |
The user abort is propagated towards the network dialog. Handling of the user abort moves to the next outer level in the SIS; for example, a user abort propagated from an |
Interrupted Event Error
This option specifies the behaviour of the SIS when it receives a User Error response from a service for an event delivered to the service in Interrupted mode — that is, an event such as the initial request, that suspends further call state processing until the service provides a suitable response. The default behaviour, if this option is undeclared, is equivalent to:
<in:message-handling-option on-message="interrupted-event-error" action="propagate" is-failure="true"/>| Action | Failure? | Description and Example |
|---|---|---|
ignore-service-and-continue |
true |
Service failure handling behaviour is first invoked. For external services this may mean a standby external address is contacted if the initial request is still being processed. Assuming a local service, no standby, the standby also aborts the dialog, or the standby cannot be invoked given the current call state, service failure statistics are recorded, the service is removed from the composition, and processing of any current event continues. |
false |
No service failure handling behaviour is invoked, and no service failure statistics are recorded. The service is simply removed from the composition, and processing of any current event continues. |
|
terminate-processing |
true |
Processing of any current event is terminated and service failure statistics are recorded. If no |
false |
Processing of any current event is terminated. No service failure statistics are recorded. If no |

The user error is propagated towards the network dialog. Handling of the user error moves to the next outer level in the SIS; for example, a user error propagated from an |
O-Trigger Connect
This option specifies the behaviour of the SIS when it receives a valid Connect response from a service while executing the originating call state model for the call. The default behaviour, if this option is undeclared, is equivalent to:
<in:message-handling-option on-message="o-trigger-connect" action="continue"/>The is-failure attribute cannot be specified for this option.
| Action | Description and example |
|---|---|
continue |
The Connect updates any appropriate parameters of the event it is a response to, and processing of that event continues to the next service in the composition. |
propagate |
The Connect is propagated towards the network dialog. Processing of any current event is terminated and no more services will be invoked at the current level in the SIS. |
propagate-on-destination-change |
This option provides a conditional response depending on the content of the Connect operation sent by the service. If the Connect received by the SIS contains a Destination Routing Address parameter with an address string that is the same as the address string contained in the Called Party Number that was included in the initial request delivered to the service, this option will behave the same as the |
rebranch |
If processing the initial request, this option behaves the same as the |
T-Trigger Connect
This option specifies the behaviour of the SIS when it receives a valid Connect response from a service while executing the terminating call state model for the call. The default behaviour, if this option is undeclared, is equivalent to:
<in:message-handling-option on-message="t-trigger-connect" action="propagate-on-destination-change"/>The is-failure attribute cannot be specified for this option.
The actions that can be specified for this option are identical in name and behaviour to those defined for o-trigger-connect option.
Rebranching
Rebranching is a message handling option that applies only to Connect operations that a service sends and the SIS processes. The rebranching option lets a service restart composition script evaluation mid-call, so a new initial request can retrigger services that follow the one doing the rebranching.
| |
This is a SIS feature for IN. |
| |
Rebranching only applies when the SIS sends a Connect response to a leg-terminating event report; for example, "called party busy", "no answer", "disconnect", and so on. |
Example
As an example, consider the following call flow:
In this scenario:
-
The initial request invokes both services.
-
Service-A responds by arming some BCSM events (including
oCalledPartyBusyand sending aConnect). -
Service-B simply responds with a
Continueand drops out of the dialog interaction. -
Some time later, the network reports
oCalledPartyBusy, which the SIS delivers to Service-A. -
Service-A responds to the event report by sending a second
Connectoperation to an alternative destination number.
Without the rebranching option, the SIS would simply send the second Connect operation back to the network as a final response to the ERB. However if Service-A’s message handling options specify invoking rebranching, then the SIS behaves as if the Connect operation was a response to the initial request originally sent to the service. This means the SIS:
-
generates a new initial request, based on the original initial request that Service-A received, but modified as necessary by the parameters contained in the new
Connectoperation -
restarts composition script evaluation, using the generated initial request as input, at the script statement immediately following the invoke statement for Service-A (that is, at the same point composition evaluation would have continued after the first
Connectthat the service sent).
How retriggered services affect SIS responses to the network
Retriggered services may affect what final response the SIS sends to the network for the ERB in the same way that would apply during initial composition evaluations. In particular:
-
A
Continueresponse has no effect — the previously storedConnectremains the final response. -
A
Connectresponse replaces the previously storedConnectresponse, to be sent as the final response. -
A
Releaseresponse overrides any other response. The SIS immediately sends it to the network; terminates composition evaluation; and notifies services still active in the composition of the call termination (as normal).
parallel (composition script)
Two or more services may be invoked in parallel by using the <parallel> element.
| |
Only the initial event is delivered in parallel to services in a parallel block. Subsequent events are delivered in serial to any parallel block services that remain in the call path after the initial event, in the order the services are defined within the parallel block. |
| |
The SIS views a parallel block in the same way it does a regular service — as a black box that accepts input and may generate output. A parallel block is still invoked sequentially with respect to other The fact that the parallel block actually invokes multiple services is immaterial as far as SIS composition evaluation is concerned. |
Example
In the following example, the SIS delivers the initial event to the VPN and Homezone services in parallel, favouring the result of VPN as the primary service. After both services have responded, and assuming neither service releases the call, the SIS proceeds to invoke the Prepay service.
Attributes and child elements
A <parallel> element has the following possible attributes and child elements.
Attributes
| Name | Description | Optional? |
|---|---|---|
timeout |
Specifies the timeout period, measured in milliseconds, that the SIS will wait for all responses during initial event processing. If present, this timeout overrides the default service timeout configured for the SIS. If the timeout period for the parallel block is less than the timeout period of any individual service within that parallel block, it’s possible for the parallel block as a whole to timeout, in which case the timeout behaviour specified for the parallel block takes precedence over any timeout behaviour specified for individual services within the parallel block. |
✔ |
on-timeout |
Specifies the behaviour the SIS will take if the parallel block fails to obtain a suitable response within its specified timeout period. The supported values for this attribute are:
The default value if this attribute is not specified is |

if (composition script)
You can add decisions to a composition script using the if statement.
For example, you may want to invoke a particular service only if the called party address starts with a particular prefix.
The <if> statement contains a conditional expression, a <then> element, and optionally <else-if> and <else> elements. The <then> and <else> elements may contain any composition statement for the SIS to evaluate, depending on the outcome of the expression.
The SIS only evaluates conditional expressions in a composition while processing the initial request. While doing this, the SIS implicitly reads variables from the current input request, which is: the initial request the SIS received from the network, if it has not invoked any service before processing the expression; or (if it has invoked a service), the response to a request from the last service the SIS has invoked.
| |
After completing initial event processing, the SIS limits the set of services it has invoked for future events on the call to those invoked during initial event processing. If the service selection included conditional logic, the SIS retains decisions made during initial event processing for future events on the same call — it does not re-evaluate conditional expressions for subsequent events.{ocpanel} |
| |
Loop-proof
The composition script language is deliberately constrained so as to make loops impossible — so a badly-written composition will never cause the SIS to enter an infinite loop. (However you can invoke the same service multiple times in the same composition, if necessary). |
Initial request
With <if> at the beginning of a script, the SIS evaluates the conditional expression before invoking any services. Therefore, it takes the values of any variables used in the expression from the initial request. The following example shows a script that invokes different services depending on the value of the from.uri.user parameter from the initial request:
Response from service
With <if> after an <invoke> element, the SIS evaluates the conditional expression after invoking and processing the output from the previous service.
In the following example, the SIS invokes the VPN service, and then evaluates the if statement. It will read the variable from.uri.user from the new request that came from invoking the VPN service. If the VPN service changed the value of from.uri.user when it processed the request, the SIS will see that new value here. If the new request matches the condition, the SIS invokes the BobSpecial service. Finally the SIS invokes the Prepay service unconditionally.
| VIA diagram | Script |
|---|---|
|
|
assign (composition script)
You can create new user variables or assign new values to existing variables in a composition using the <assign> element.
The <assign> element used in a composition is identical to that which can be used in an expression, however when used in a composition the SIS disregards the return result of the assignment attempt.
delete (composition script)
It is possible to delete user variables or the values of some SIS-defined variables in a composition using the <delete> element.
The <delete> element used in a composition is identical to that which can be used in an expression, however when used in a composition the SIS disregards the return result of the deletion attempt.
| |
|
halt (composition script)
A composition may be stopped at any point using the <halt> element.
This tells the SIS to stop evaluating the composition any further and continue with the current call using only the services invoked so far. A <halt> element may also specify specific response behaviour to perform, as described below for IN and SIP.
IN halt instructions
| |
For IN, if the halt statement includes a response, the response element defines whether or not the response should be recorded in statistics as a success or failure outcome. Where appropriate, the element also defines how the SIS terminates the dialog with the
|
| |
The composition output interceptor (if defined for the composition) processes any response the halt instruction generates, before the SIS sends the final response out on the network. |
| Halt instruction | Description and example |
|---|---|
none |
The default halt action for IN is to send a response based on the outcome of any composition services already invoked. |
User Error |
Stop further composition evaluation and return a User Error response. The error response code may be |
Continue |
Stop further composition evaluation and return a Continue or ContinueSMS response. The SIS resumes the dialog state model and the call or SMS continues in the network using default call handling. |
Release |
Stop further composition evaluation and return a ReleaseCall or ReleaseSMS response. The SIS releases the call or SMS, with the specified cause code. |
Connect |
Stop further composition evaluation and return a Connect response. The SIS redirects the call to the specified destination routing address, described by an XML |
ConnectSMS |
Stop further composition evaluation and return a ConnectSMS response. The SIS redirects the SMS to the specified destination subscriber number, described by an XML |
Redirect |
Stop further composition evaluation and return a Connect or ConnectSMS response. The SIS uses its configured redirect behaviour to redirect the call by issuing a |
Relay |
Stop further composition evaluation and return a Relay response. A dialog is opened towards the target external platform and the initial request is relayed to it, after which the incoming and relayed dialogs are terminated locally. Further communication on the dialog continues directly between the dialog originator and the external platform. A nested terminate clause must be specified for this option which is invoked in the event the relay fails, eg. an outgoing dialog cannot be created, a TC_CONTINUE has already been sent on the incoming dialog, etc. |
No Response |
Stop further composition evaluation. No response is sent. The value of the |
SIP halt instructions
| |
If a halt forwards the request (the default halt behaviour), the SIS passes the request to the composition output interceptor (if defined for the composition) before sending it out on the network. The SIS does not invoke the composition output interceptor when the halt rejects the request with an error response. |
| Halt instruction | Description and example |
|---|---|
Reject |
Stop further composition evaluation and return a Reject response. A reject status code must be specified (in the range 300-699), along with an optional reason phrase. Any number of additional headers may also be included in the response |
Forward |
Stop further composition evaluation and return a Forward response. An optional target URI may be specified. Any number of additional headers may also be included in the response |
| |
The default halt action for the SIS for SIP is to send a Forward response to forward the request to the next hop. |
Example
In the following example, the SIS stops composition evaluation if a certain parameter is present after invoking the CheckUser service. If the parameter is not present, the Prepay service is also invoked.
<script>
<invoke service="CheckUser"/>
<if><present variable="${user.foo}"/>
<then>
<halt/>
</then>
</if>
<invoke service="Prepay"/>
</script>Interceptors in Compositions
You can use interceptors in compositions to inspect and manipulate the signaling between services.
This lets you:
-
blend services developed in isolation — by intercepting and changing the signaling, to ensure each can be executed correctly
-
augment the behaviour of services (in ways not imagined when the services were developed).
There are four types of interceptor that can be used within a composition:
| Type | Invoked when… | |
|---|---|---|
|
composition input |
…the SIS receives a new message from the network, to deliver to composition services. The SIS invokes the interceptor before delivering the message to the services. (white triangle on the start node in the VIA diagram) |
|
service input |
…the SIS determines a need to deliver a message to an individual composition service. The SIS invokes the interceptor after determining the need, but before actually delivering the message. (white triangle on the top of the VPN/Prepay services in the VIA diagram) |
|
|
service output |
…a service generates a message it intends for the network. The SIS invokes the interceptor before processing the message. (white triangle on the bottom of the VPN/Prepay services in the VIA diagram) |
|
|
composition output |
…the SIS determines messages generated by services in the composition should be sent to the network. The SIS invokes the interceptor before writing the messages to the network. (white triangle on the end node in the VIA diagram) |
| |
SIS for IN re-evaluates interceptors in a composition script every time it invokes them — so conditional branches in an interceptor can define behaviour depending on the input messages to the interceptor. SIS for SIP only evaluates interceptors on the initial request. |
Interceptor script blocks
An interceptor script block is written directly inside the composition. The syntax of an interceptor script block in a composition is identical to that of interceptors installed as individual SIS components.
Configurable Options
For compositions in the SIS, you can configure:
Composition debugging
You can assign a fine-grained tracing level to an individual composition in the SIS, to generate extra debugging information for that composition when it is triggered.
To specify the debug level for a composition, use the <debug-level> element. For example:
<composition ...>
...
<debug-level>1</debug-level>
...
<composition>| |
|
Composition auditing
The SIS provides different modes of call audit logging, as described in the SIS Administration Guide. When per-component audit logging is enabled, the SIS includes the audit setting of a triggered composition in its decision whether or not to enable audit logging for each call.
To specify per-component auditing for a composition, use the <audit> element. For example:
<composition ...>
...
<audit>true</audit>
...
</composition>| |
|
Extension options
Specifies arbitrary extension options supported by the SIS for the composition. This is a collection of extension-option elements each with a name and optional value. The extension options currently supported for compositions are:
| Option | Description | Required Value |
|---|---|---|
IN:accept-non-continuing-close |
Typically, if the SIS is expecting a response from an IN service and that service just closes the dialog to the SIS without first providing a response, the SIS will regard this as an error condition. However if this extension option is specified, the SIS will instead behave as if the service provided a |
n/a |
IN:proxied-invoke-timer-long |
When an operation invoke is sent by an external IN service to the SIS, the timeout period specified for the invoke is not included in the wire protocol message that the SIS receives. When the SIS forwards an operation invoke from an external service to the network, it needs to specify its own invoke timeout period for that operation. The default invoke timeout configured for the SIS or service is adequate for most operations, however operations with "long" timers (Play Announcement, Prompt and Collect User Information) may need longer timeout periods for correct operation. This extension option allows a longer default timeout period to be specified for all services in the composition for these long timer operations. |
A long integer value greater than or equal to zero specified in millisecond units. |
ECS1:allow-camel-style-apply-charging |
The Ericsson INAP CS1 specification states that an Apply Charging request may only be sent by a service if the BCSM is suspended at a detection point. However an operator customisation exists that allows Apply Charging requests to be sent while the BCSM is in any valid state, the same as in CAMEL protocols. This extension option allows the CAMEL behaviour for Apply Charging to be supported for Ericsson INAP protocol dialogs (both CS1 and CS1+). |
n/a |
ECS1p:allow-busy-after-alerting |
The Ericsson INAP CS1+ specification states that the BCSM event detection point (EDP) indicating the caller is busy is implicitly disarmed if the EDP for alerting is encountered. However some mobile networks use the busy EDP to report a user call rejection, which naturally occurs after the alerting phase of the call has begun. This extension option allows this case to be supported without a service having to explicitly rearm the busy EDP. It suppresses the implicit disarm of the busy EDP in the SIS when the alerting EDP is reported from the MSC. WARNING: This option is only meaningful if the MSC applies the same rules to the BCSM. |
n/a |
NCS1:enable-implicit-disarming |
By default, the implicit disarming of EDP events is disabled in the SIS for calls received on Nokia INAP CS1 dialogs. This extension option allows the implicit EDP disarming rules to be enabled for Nokia INAP CS1. WARNING: This option is only meaningful if the MSC applies the same rules to the BCSM. |
n/a |
SIP:traffic-reduce |
This option can be used if you want to invoke a SIP service, but want to reduce the amount of SIP traffic to that service by only passing it the initial request, then excluding it from the call. When this option is present, the SIS invokes the service by sending it the initial request. When the service forwards the request, the SIS sends an error response (default: The |
n/a |
SIP:keep-external-address-params |
This option only applies when invoking external SIP services. When the SIS invokes an external service, its default behaviour is to copy all header and URI parameters from the incoming initial request’s If the external platform’s configured address (a SIP URI) contains URI parameters with the same names, these will be replaced by the incoming request’s parameters in the outgoing If this option is present, then the URI parameters of the configured external service address have priority, and will be used in the outgoing request’s To use this option it just needs to be present in the |
n/a |
Event processing optimisations
With IN, the SIS supports optional optimisations that can reduce the overall event processing latency in some cases when using local services.
To specify the optimisations setting in a composition, use the <optimisations-enabled> element. For example:
<composition ...>
...
<in:optimisations-enabled>true</in:optimisations-enabled>
...
</composition>| |
|
Managing FCI requests from multiple services
IN protocols allow services to send charging-related messages to the network. With IN, a composition can specify how the SIS should manage Furnish Charging Information (FCI) requests sent by multiple services in the same composition. The following interaction modes are available:
-
static-service-priorities— Each service in the composition is assigned a static charging priority, using the Service Reference Management MBean. If multiple services send FCI requests while the call state model is suspended, the FCI request sent by the highest priority service "wins" — the SIS sends that FCI request to the network and discards other FCI requests (sent by lower priority services). -
concatenation— In this mode, the SIS appends the charging characteristics data, that each service sends in an FCI request, to a buffer. The SIS determines the buffer’s size by the maximum data size the FCI request permits for the protocol in use. The SIS can only append charging data while space in the buffer remains. The SIS discards an FCI request if the buffer cannot fit the data it contains. The SIS also appends the charging delimiter specified in the SIS configuration, between each set of charging-characteristics data. The final charging-characteristics data included in the FCI request the SIS sends to the network looks like this:<fci#1-data> <delim> <fci#2-data> <delim> ... <fci#n-data>
-
nominated-service— The SIS only sends FCI requests to the network if from the nominated service, as indicated by the associated service reference. The SIS rejects FCI requests sent by any other composition service. -
pass-through— FCI requests from all services are passed through to the network. No filtering or manipulation of the FCI content is performed by the SIS.
The SIS applies FCI handling anew each time the call state model is suspended at a detection point. While the call state model is suspended, the SIS handles any FCI requests it receives from composition services according to the composition’s FCI interaction mode rules. The SIS determines what FCI request to send to the network when the call state model resumes. As CAPv2 FCI requests include a leg type that identifies which party to charge, the SIS treats FCIs it receives for different call legs separately. In other words, an FCI for the calling party leg will only interact with other FCIs for the same leg. If the SIS receives FCIs for both the calling party and called party legs during processing of a particular initial request, it sends the two FCIs to the network when the call state model resumes.
To specify the FCI interaction mode setting is specified in a composition, use the <fci-interaction> element. For example:
<composition ...>
...
<in:fci-interaction mode="concatenation"/>
...
</composition>| |
|
Managing online charging requests from multiple services
IN protocols allow services to send charging-related messages to the network. With IN, a composition can specify how the SIS should manage the Apply Charging, Send Charging Information, and Call Information Request online-charging requests sent by multiple services in the same composition.
The following interaction modes are available:
-
static-service-priorities— Each service in the composition is assigned a static charging priority, using the Service Reference Management MBean. If multiple services send any online charging requests while the call state model is suspended, the charging requests sent by the highest priority service "wins" — the SIS sends those charging requests to the network and discards all other online charging requests (sent by lower priority services). If the call state model is not suspended, and the SIS has not yet selected a service for which to send online charging requests to the network, it sends the first service’s online charging requests it receives and discards any subsequent online charging requests from other services (even if they come from a service with a higher priority than the selected service). -
nominated-service— the SIS only sends online charging requests to the network if from the nominated service, as indicated by the associated service reference. The SIS rejects online charging requests sent by any other service.
To specify the online charging interaction mode setting in a composition, use the <online-charging-interaction> element. For example:
<composition ...>
...
<in:online-charging-interaction mode="nominated-service" service="HomeZone"/>
...
</composition>| |
|
Interceptors
You can use interceptors to inspect and manipulate the signaling between a service and the SIS, or between the SIS and the network.
This lets you:
-
blend services developed in isolation — by intercepting and changing the signaling, to ensure each can be executed correctly
-
augment the behaviour of services (in ways not imagined when the services were developed)
-
alter messages received from the network before the SIS starts processing them
-
alter messages sent by the SIS, for example to add message fields not set by the SIS.

What is an interceptor?
An interceptor is a set of script elements that may modify the parameters of the messages it intercepts (or may perform some other action). Interceptor scripts are typically embedded directly within a composition. However an interceptor can also be installed as a SIS component in its own right, allowing it to be invoked by SLEE applications or other interceptors. |
Sample interceptor
This example below shows a simple interceptor that modifies the service key of an IN InitialDP operation. Its main elements are: interceptor-name/vendor/version, which define this interceptor’s component identity; and script, which specifies the operations to perform when the interceptor is invoked.
| VIA Diagram | Script |
|---|---|
|
|
| |
Interceptors may contain conditional branches, and may also invoke interceptor extension components to perform functions that may not be possible using the scripting language. |
Interceptor syntax schema
The base XML schema sis-interceptor-1.2.xsd defines the basic structure of an interceptor. SIS variants extend this base schema with protocol-specific properties.
IN interceptors
Interceptors for IN protocols may use the XML schema in-sis-interceptor-1.2.xsd to extend the generic schema for SIS interceptors. IN interceptors use the following corresponding schema namespaces:
<interceptor xmlns="http://www.opencloud.com/SIS/Interceptor"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:in="http://www.opencloud.com/SIS/Interceptor/IN"

http://www.opencloud.com/SIS/Interceptor sis-interceptor-1.2.xsd">SIP interceptors
Interceptors for SIP may use the XML schema sip-sis-interceptor-1.2.xsd to extend the generic schema for SIS interceptors. SIP interceptors use the following corresponding schema namespaces:
<composition xmlns="http://www.opencloud.com/SIS/Interceptor"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opencloud.com/SIS/Interceptor/SIP sip-sis-interceptor-1.2.xsd
http://www.opencloud.com/SIS/Interceptor sis-interceptor-1.2.xsd">Interceptor Scripts
An interceptor script is a set of script statements that the SIS evaluates in the order they appear in the script.
The SIS currently supports the following statements in an interceptor:
| |
Statements may appear in any order within an interceptor, with the exception that no statement may follow a halt. Statements may be nested, for example the if statement may contain other if statements. |
if (interceptor)
Branching in an interceptor lets you execute different logic depending on the outcome of some expression.
Example
If the SIS evaluates the following sample composition script for a particular IN call:
-
From the initial request, the SIS will invoke one of either
InterceptorComponent1orInterceptorComponent2, andInterceptorComponent3. -
For any subsequence call events that
Service1is interested in receiving, the SIS will first invoke the interceptor extension componentInterceptorComponent3only, as theinitial-dpvariable is only present if the event being delivered is anInitialDPinitial request.

invoke-extension (interceptor)
Any number of interceptor extension components can be invoked sequentially in an interceptor script block.
An extension component is invoked using an <invoke-extension> element and has the following possible attributes:
| Type | Name | Description | Optional? |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Attribute |
extension |
The extension component to be invoked. Must refer to an extension component of type |
NO |
|
Attribute |
timeout |
Specifies the timeout period, measured in milliseconds, that the SIS will wait for a response from the extension component. If present, this timeout overrides the default timeout configured for the extension component. |
YES |
Example
Below is an example of a composition that uses a service input interceptor to invoke an interceptor extension component. The service node on the VIA diagram has its input interceptor filled in (indicating the interceptor has been defined). You double-click on the interceptor to open the interceptor diagram.
invoke-interceptor (interceptor)
An interceptor script block may invoke another interceptor component.
The current interceptor is suspended while the invoked interceptor is evaluated. If the invoked interceptor completes normally, evaluation of the current interceptor continues. If the invoked interceptor is halted, the current interceptor is also immediately halted with the same halt response.
An interceptor component is invoked using an <invoke-interceptor> element and has the following possible attribute.
| Type | Name | Description | Optional? |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Attribute |
interceptor |
The interceptor component to be invoked. Must refer to an interceptor component defined in the SIS (using an interceptor reference) |
NO |
halt (interceptor)
To terminate a composition script evaluation normally during initial event processing, you can include a <halt> element in a service input or output interceptor script block.
This stops the composition from including any more composition services. The SIS will also terminate any further evaluation of the interceptor upon encountering a <halt>.
| |
The <halt> element in a service input interceptor also stops the composition service that is target of the <invoke> element that contains that service input interceptor from being included in the composition. |
A <halt> statement will only halt composition evaluation while the SIS is processing the initial event. If the SIS encounters a <halt> while processing a subsequent event, or while evaluating an interceptor invoked directly by a SLEE application, the only effect will be to terminate further interceptor evaluation.
The syntax of a <halt> statement for an interceptor is the same as that for compositions.
| |
|
Invoking Interceptors from SLEE Applications
A JAIN SLEE service may request that the SIS invoke an interceptor at any time during service execution.
Examples where this can be useful are in proxy or protocol translation services. The SIS already provides support for interceptors on the southbound dialog between the SIS and a service, but it does not impose any specific behaviours onto northbound dialogs created by a service. By coding a service to invoke SIS interceptors at points where messages are sent or received on a northbound dialog, it’s possible to provide pluggable, customisable behaviour without needing to recompile and redeploy the service.
| |
It’s possible for a SLEE service to invoke interceptor components in any SIS instance it has a resource adaptor entity binding to. However, interceptor script variables representing IN signaling parameters are only understood by the SIS for IN. Similarly, script variables representing SIP signaling parameters are only understood by the SIS for SIP. An interceptor that uses protocol-specific script variables therefore needs to be installed into an appropriate SIS instance in order for it to behave as expected when invoked by a service. |
The following topics describe how interceptors can be invoked by a service and what the invocation result means:
Invoking an Interceptor
You invoke SIS interceptors using one of the Interceptor Extension Resource Adaptor Types.
There are two Interceptor Extension Resource Adaptor Types, the:
The Interceptor Extensions Provider interface defined by this resource adaptor type provides various methods for invoking interceptors. Invoking an interceptor requires the following parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Description | Optional? | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Interceptor Reference |
String |
The interceptor component to be invoked. |
NO |
||
Interceptor Input |
Object |
The object that will be provided as input to the interceptor. The interceptor may inspect or modify this object, or may pass it to extension components.
|
YES |
||
Activity |
axref:sis-in-interceptors-ratype/com.opencloud.slee.resources.sis.script.interceptors.InterceptorInvocationActivity[InterceptorInvocationActivity] |
The interceptor invocation activity on which the interceptor completion callback event will be fired if the interceptor completes asynchronously. If an activity is not provided and the interceptor will complete asynchronously, the SIS will automatically create a new activity for the callback event.
|
YES |
||
User Variables |
axref:sis-in-interceptors-ratype/com.opencloud.slee.resources.sis.script.interceptors.UserVariables[UserVariables] |
A map containing the names (as map keys) and values (as key values) of any SIS user variables that should be populated in the context the interceptor runs in before the interceptor is evaluated. This parameter can be used, for example, to pass additional information to the interceptor through user variables with predetermined names. |
YES |
Interceptor Invocation Results
An interceptor invocation can have one of three possible results.
| Result | Description | Result Content |
|---|---|---|
Completed |
The interceptor has completed. |
Interceptor output object — may or may not be the same as the original input object provided to the interceptor. |
In Progress |
Interceptor evaluation is in progress and will complete asynchronously at some later point. An |
Invocation ID — a unique numerical identifier that the service can use to correlate with an |
Failed |
The interceptor invocation failed. Typically this is because the specified interceptor reference doesn’t exist in the SIS (but could be for other reasons). |
Reason — an enumerated value classifying the failure cause. |
Synchronous vs Asynchronous Interceptors
An interceptor invoked by a SLEE application can complete either synchronously or asynchronously.
| Completion Method | Description |
|---|---|
Synchronous |
The SIS completes evaluation of the interceptor script all within the boundary of the calling application thread. The interceptor output is immediately available to the application as a result of the invocation. |
Asynchronous |
The SIS is required to perform some function of the interceptor script in a separate thread. In the meantime, further evaluation of the interceptor script has been suspended, and control returns to the calling application. At some point in the future, evaluation of the interceptor script will continue and eventually complete. When this happens, the SIS will notify the application asynchronously and provide the interceptor output via an event fired on an |
An interceptor will only complete asynchronously if it invokes an interceptor extension component during evaluation, as doing so requires a SLEE event to be fired to the extension component and the SIS to wait for the response before continuing. An interceptor that performs all processing without invoking an interceptor extension component will always complete synchronously.
| |
Where practical it is recommended to use interceptors that complete synchronously whenever possible. Synchronous interceptors incur lower performance overhead and benefit from simpler application code. However an application that invokes SIS interceptors generally has to be implemented to support both synchronous and asynchronous interceptors, as it’s not typically known during application development what functionality an interceptor may require. |

Macro components specify reusable boolean expressions, for use in trigger, composition, or interceptor components.

What’s in a macro?
A macro contains the following information:

Below is a description of macro schema syntax, and an example.
Macro schema syntax
The XML schema sis-macro-1.6.xsd defines macros, using the following schema namespaces:
<macro xmlns="http://www.opencloud.com/SIS/Macro"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opencloud.com/SIS/Macro sis-macro-1.6.xsd">Sample macro
The following sample macro normalises the address contained in the IN InitialDP CallingPartyNumber parameter, according to Spanish network rules. Below are a summary of those rules, and the macro’s pseudo-code, VIA diagram, and script XML.
Rules
-
If the
CallingPartyNumberNature of Address indicator states that the address is nationally formatted, the expression either strips the "00" international direct dialing prefix (if present), or adds the "34" country code if the address is a 9-digit (Spanish national) number. In any other case the address is left unchanged. -
In the general case this should provide an address starting with "34" followed by a 9-digit national number, such as "34607000001".
-
The macro assigns the normalised address (or the original address if it wasn’t changed) to the user-defined variable
user.normalised-cgpn. -
If the
InitialDPdoes not have aCallingPartyNumberparameter, no user-defined variable is created. -
This condition always evaluates to
true.
Pseudo-code
if (calling-party-number is present) {
if (calling-party-number.nature == NATIONAL) {
if (calling-party-number.address starts with "0034") {
user.normalised-cgpn = (calling-party-number.address without "00" prefix)
return true
}
else if (calling-party-number.address is 9 digits long) {
user.normalised-cgpn = ("34" + calling-party-number.address)
return true
}
}
// just use the same value if we can't change it
user.normalised-cgpn = calling-party-number.address
return true

else {
return true

</macro>Expressions
The SIS defines a number of expressions, for use in macros, triggers, compositions, and interceptors.
Expressions can be composed using:
-
basic conditions, which evaluate to either
trueorfalse -
logical operators, which combine conditions to form more complex expressions
-
functions, which operate on variables or values to produce other values.
Unless otherwise stated, the parameters to all SIS expression conditions and functions can accept either:
-
a literal constant value — specified using its literal name as the value, for example:
<greater-than a="10" b="5"/> -
a variable value — specified by surrounding the variable name with
${…}, for example:
<equal a="${initial-dp.arg.service-key}" b="20"/>

Array Manipulation Functions
The XML schema array-manipulator-datatypes-1.1.xsd defines array manipulation functions that can be used in SIS expressions.
The following tables list the array manipulation functions available in the SIS, what they do, and the results they return.
array-add-element
Description |
Adds a new element value to an existing array. The value may be specified either as an element attribute or as a nested element. Nested elements may also be compound datatype values. The index is optional and specifies the insertion point for the new value. If the index is less than or equal to zero, the new value is inserted at the beginning of the array. If the index is greater than or equal to the current length of the array, the new value is added to the end of the array. Otherwise, the new value is inserted at the specified index. If the index is not specified, the default behaviour is to add the new value to the end of the array. |
|---|---|
Returns |
|
Examples |
|
array-remove-element
Description |
Removes an element from an existing array. If an index is specified, the array element at the specified index is removed. Otherwise, a value must be specified either as an element attribute or as a nested element. Nested elements may also be compound datatype values. Array elements are compared to the specified value using normal Java equality tests. If the value appears multiple times in the array, each occurrence will be removed. |
|---|---|
Returns |
|
Examples |
|
Compound Datatypes
The XML schema in-sis-datatypes-1.5.xsd defines elements that allow any supported compound datatype value to be constructed and used as values for variable assignment or comparison.
| |
This is a SIS feature for IN. |
Compound datatypes are those with a Java type that is not a simple type such as an integer or string but rather is a composite of some number of basic types. For example, the CGIN Call Control InitialDP operation argument is a composite of many sub-parameters including service key, calling party number, called party number, and so on. Values of compound datatypes may be assigned to appropriate variables, or used in conditions such as <equals> or <not-equals> to compare the equality of these variables.
SIS provides elements for a number of predefined datatypes and also defines elements that allow arbitrary datatypes to be constructed.
Pre-defined Datatypes
SIS provides elements for some predefined datatypes. These are shorthand notations for constructing values of a specific type (which you can also specify using the elements for arbitrary datatypes).
Below are descriptions of available parameters, followed by tables showing each datatype with its generated Javatype, parameters, and an example.

Arbitrary Datatypes
SIS defines elements that let you construct arbitrary datatype values.
The set of datatypes that may be constructed is limited to:
-
convenience APIs, such as those defined in the
in/datatypes/ccpackage -
arguments and field types of all supported protocols, such as those defined in the
call controlpackage.
| |
Different SIS packages provide support for different protocols, so the set of supported datatypes varies. See to the documentation included with the SIS package for a complete list of datatypes that may be constructed using this mechanism. Support for datatypes used in the MAP protocol is limited to only those used by the CAP protocols. |
Objects
The <object> element can be used to construct a general object type value.
| |
This element requires the fully qualified class name of the datatype be specified; either values for individual sub-fields of the datatype or a byte array value representing the encoded form of the value can be provided. The set of datatypes that may be constructed is limited to the subset of If using the encoded byte array form, the specified datatype class must implement a public constructor that takes a single The The encoded byte array form and the copy-of form are mutually exclusive and cannot be used together in the same Variables may be used to specify the encoded value, the copied value, or individual field values. Field values can be specified either as element attributes or as nested elements. Nested elements may also be compound datatypes. |
General guidelines
Below are general guidelines that apply to all object construction, with examples of how you can construct:
-
a Calling Party Number value
-
a complex nested object, using the CAPv2 IP-SSP Capabilities datatype
-
an object that is a copy of another.
Calling Party Number
There are three possible ways to create a CallingPartyNumber value:
Using an encoded value
Encoded values are a byte array. Encoded byte array values are specified as a comma-separated list of hexadecimal byte values, for example:
<object
class="com.opencloud.slee.resources.in.datatypes.cc.CallingPartyNumber"
encoded-value="03,13,1b,32,54,76,98,c0"/>The encoded byte array value can also be provided from some other variable, for example:
<object
class="com.opencloud.slee.resources.in.datatypes.cc.CallingPartyNumber"
encoded-value="${user.some-encoded-value}"/>| |
If the specified variable does not exist or its value is not a byte array, then the object construction will fail and produce no result. |
Specifying individual field values
A CallingPartyNumber value can be constructed by specifying values for its individual fields, for example:
<object class="com.opencloud.slee.resources.in.datatypes.cc.CallingPartyNumber">
<field name="nature" value="NATIONAL"/>
<field name="number-incomplete" value="false"/>
<field name="numbering-plan" value="ISDN"/>
<field name="presentation" value="ALLOWED"/>
<field name="screening" value="NETWORK_PROVIDED"/>
<field name="address" value="*1234567890#"/>
</object>Variables may also be used to specify the value for any field, for example:
<object class="com.opencloud.slee.resources.in.datatypes.cc.CallingPartyNumber">
...
<field name="address" value="${initial-dp.arg.calling-party-number.address}"/>
</object>| |
The value provided for each field must be a suitable value for that field, otherwise the object construction will fail and produce no result. If a particular field value is obtained from a variable and that variable is determined to have no value, then assignment of that field will be skipped. |
Using a pre-defined datatype constructor
SIS includes pre-defined datatype constructors for certain datatypes. The CallingPartyNumber type is one of these datatypes, and such a value can be constructed as shown in the following example:
<calling-party-number
nature="NATIONAL"
number-incomplete="false"
numbering-plan="ISDN"
presentation="ALLOWED"
screening="NETWORK_PROVIDED"
address="*1234567890#"/>| |
In contrast to specifying individual field values, the pre-defined datatype constructors require that values for all fields be specified. However, the value provided for each field must again be a suitable value for that field, otherwise the object construction will fail and produce no result. When using the pre-defined datatype constructors, if a particular field value is obtained from a variable and that variable is determined to have no value, then object construction will also fail. |
CAPv2 IP-SSP Capabilities
The CAP2IPSSPCapabilities class defines IP-SSP capabilities for the CAPv2 protocol. This value may be included in an InitialDP or AssistRequestInstructions operation. The CAP2IPSSPCapabilities class extends ExtendibleOctetString by adding a containedValue field of type CAPIPSSPCapabilities. The CAPIPSSPCapabilities datatype contains the actual structured view of the IP-SSP capabilities.
The following example illustrates how to construct a CAP2IPSSPCapabilities datatype value with a contained value:
<object class="com.opencloud.slee.resources.cgin.cap_v2.CAP2IPSSPCapabilities">
<field name="contained-value">
<object class="com.opencloud.slee.resources.in.datatypes.cc.CAPIPSSPCapabilities">
<field name="ip-routing-address-supported" value="true"/>
<field name="voice-back-supported" value="false"/>
<field name="voice-information-via-speech-supported" value="true"/>
<field name="voice-information-via-voice-supported" value="true"/>
<field name="voice-generation-from-text-supported" value="false"/>
<field name="bilateral-part">
<bytes bytes="55,66,77"/>
</field>
</object>
</field>
</object>Copying an object
A new object can be created as a copy of another object, possibly with a different type than the original object. This is useful for narrowing type conversions; for example to change the type of an object from a CAPv2 type to a CAPv4 type, and consequently also provide access to all the fields supported by the CAPv4 type that previously weren’t available.
The following example illustrates how to construct a CAP4ConnectArg object from another object and set the CAPv4-specific legToBeConnected field in the new object to indicate leg 3:
<object class="com.opencloud.slee.resources.cgin.cap_v4.CAP4ConnectArg" copy-of="${connect.arg}">
<field name="leg-to-be-connected">
<object class="com.opencloud.slee.resources.cgin.callcontrol.CCLegID">
<field name="sending-side-id">
<object class="com.opencloud.slee.resources.in.datatypes.cc.LegType">
<field name="encoded-value" value="3"/>
</object>
</field>
</object>
</field>
</object>| |
If the specified variable to copy does not exist or its value is not compatible with the specified class, then the object construction will fail and produce no result. |
Enumerated Type Values
The SIS automatically converts a literal constant value assigned or compared to a enumerated datatype into its enumerated object equivalent.
Consider the following example:
<equal
a="${initial-dp.arg.event-type-bcsm}"
b="analyzedInformation"/>In this case, the SIS knows that the type of the ${initial-dp.arg.event-type-bcsm} variable is the named integer type CCEventTypeBCSM — so it tries to find the enumerated value of that type, with the name analyzedInformation, for the comparison.
When the SIS can’t determine the type
In some cases, however, you may want to assign an enumerated value constant to a variable that the SIS cannot determine a concrete type for. For example, the variable may be defined as a generic NamedInteger type, or the variable may be a user-defined variable. In these situations, the SIS has no way of knowing how to convert a string or numerical constant value for assignment into anything more useful. Consider the example below:
<assign
toVariable="${user.event-type-bcsm}"
value="analyzedInformation"/>Here, the SIS will assign the literal string value “analyzedInformation” to the user variable, rather than the intended enumerated value with that name.
| |
To alleviate this problem, the SIS provides an <enum> object constructor element for ENUMERATED variable types. This element requires the fully-qualified class name of the enumerated datatype and the enumerated value to be specified. The constructor returns the indicated enumerated value. For example: |
<assign toVariable="${user.event-type-bcsm}">
<enum
class="com.opencloud.slee.resources.cgin.callcontrol.CCEventTypeBCSM"
value="analyzedInformation"/>
</assign>| |
If the class is unknown by the SIS, or is not an enumerated type, or the specified value is not a known value for the enumerated type, the constructor will fail. |
Creating enumerated values from a constant value
Note that, as enumerated values are just named integer values, it’s also possible to create enumerated values from a constant numerical value rather than a named value. For example, the following produces the same result as the preceding example, since analyzedInformation is the named value for the integer 3 within this datatype:
<assign toVariable="${user.event-type-bcsm}>
<enum
class="com.opencloud.slee.resources.cgin.callcontrol.CCEventTypeBCSM"
value="3"/>
</assign>Generic Arrays
The <array> element can be used to construct an array of any supported datatype.
As well as arbitrary datatypes, you can make arrays of primitive and simple types such as int, java.lang.Long, and java.lang.String. Arrays can also be copied from other arrays. The <array> element requires that the fully-qualified class name of the array type be specified. The array to copy, array length, or array elements can also be provided during array construction. If none are provided, a zero-length array will be created. If an array to copy and an array length are both specified, then the created array will have a length that is the greater of the length of the array being copied and the specified length.
Array elements are evaluated and assigned to array indexes in the order they are declared. Individual array element values can be specified using either the element attribute or a nested element. The element attribute may contain the special value null to indicate an array element with no value. Nested elements may also be compound datatypes. Variables can also be used as the source of element values.
| |
The array creation can fail and produce no result if:
|
Below are examples of creating a primitive type array, a multi-dimensional Calling Party Number array, and copying an array.
Primitive Type Array
You can construct an array of primitive types (such as int) like this:
<array class="int[]">
<element value="0"/>
<element value="1"/>
<element value="${user.int-value-1}"/>
<element value="7"/>
<element value="${user.int-value-2}"/>
</array>Multi-Dimensional Array
Below is a (contrived) example of how a three-dimensional CallingPartyNumber array could be created and populated with various values:
<array class="com.opencloud.slee.resources.in.datatypes.cc.CallingPartyNumber[][][]" length="${user.some-length]}">
<element>
<array class="com.opencloud.slee.resources.in.datatypes.cc.CallingPartyNumber[][]">
<element>
<array class="com.opencloud.slee.resources.in.datatypes.cc.CallingPartyNumber[]">
<element>
<!-- concrete value specified using pre-defined datatype constructor -->
<calling-party-number
nature="NATIONAL"
number-incomplete="false"
numbering-plan="ISDN"
presentation="ALLOWED"
screening="NETWORK_PROVIDED"
address="12345"/>
</element>
<!-- an empty element -->
<element value="null"/>
<element>
<!-- concrete value specified using generic object constructor -->
<object class="com.opencloud.slee.resources.in.datatypes.cc.CallingPartyNumber">
<field name="nature" value="INTERNATIONAL"/>
<field name="number-incomplete" value="true"/>
<field name="numbering-plan" value="ISDN"/>
<field name="presentation" value="ALLOWED"/>
<field name="screening" value="NETWORK_PROVIDED"/>
<field name="address" value="999887"/>
</object>
</element>
<!-- element value from a variable -->
<element value="${initial-dp.arg.calling-party-number}"/>
</array>
</element>
</array>
</element>
<element>
<!-- an array with a specified length, but no elements defined -->
<array class="com.opencloud.slee.resources.in.datatypes.cc.CallingPartyNumber[][]" length="1"/>
</element>
</array>Byte Arrays
Byte arrays may be constructed using either the bytes pre-defined datatype or a generic array construction.
The latter has the advantage that individual array element values may be obtained from script variables (which the pre-defined datatype constructor does not allow).
Pre-defined datatype constructor
Using the pre-defined datatype constructor, the byte array content is specified using a comma-separated list of two-digit hexadecimal values. For example:
<bytes bytes="68,65,6c,6c,6f"/>Generic array constructor
The same value can be constructed using a generic array constructor, like this:
<array class="byte[]">
<element value="104"/>
<element value="101"/>
<element value="108"/>
<element value="108"/>
<element value="111"/>
</array>| |
The generic array constructor does not support hexadecimal input, so values must be converted to decimal. |
Variables
The conditional expressions, string manipulation functions, array manipulation functions, and compound datatype values included in SIS macros, triggers, and compositions may use variables — to reference parameters of input or output messages or other values computed during the course of call processing. These include:
Below are overviews of how to use SIS variables, and the different variable types supported by SIS.
Using variables
| |
All variables names are case-insensitive. An exception to this rule does apply though, to user variables. |
Below are details on basic references, dereferencing, array indexes and functions, and combining referencing mechanisms.
Basic variable references
A basic variable reference consists of a name surrounded by curly braces ({ and }), the opening curly brace prefixed with a dollar sign ($). For example:
${initial-dp.arg.service-key}
${connect.arg.destination-routing-address}
${route.param.orig}A variable name is composed of one or more name components, delimited by a period (.). Each name component typically represents one step in a hierarchical traversal of object fields or attributes, starting from some well-known root object type. For example:
-
The variable name
initial-dp.arg.service-keyindicates the Service Key field of the IN InitialDP operationargument. -
The variable name
route.param.origindicates theorigparameter of the SIProuteheader.
User variables
User variables always start with the name component user. The SIS considers the rest of the variable name to be an atomic name for the user variable, regardless of whether or not the user variable name includes period (.) delimiters; the notion of a hierarchical namespace within a basic reference to a user variable does not apply. For example:
-
The reference
${user.foo}refers to the user variable namedfoo -
The reference
${user.foo.bar}refers to the user variable namedfoo.bar, not thebarfield of the user variable namedfoo
| |
See the next section on dereferencing for details on how to traverse object fields of user variable values. |
Dereferencing variables
The SIS maintains a registry of supported datatypes. This registry records the set of sub-fields each of these datatypes has; for example a CCInitialDPArg has sub-fields for service key, calling party number, called party number, and so on.
The SIS uses this registry to allow a value of any supported datatype to be dereferenced. A dereference is simply using the standard .<field-name}> syntax to indicate an object sub-field, but used outside the basic variable reference rather than inside. Dereferences can be chained one after the other to follow a series of sub-fields in the same way as can be used inside a basic variable reference. The variable references given below illustrate the various ways that the Service Key field of an InitialDP operation could be obtained:
<!-- using a basic reference -->
${initial-dp.arg.service-key}
<!-- using a single dereference -->
${initial-dp.arg}.service-key
<!-- using chained dereferences -->
${initial-dp}.arg.service-keyDereferencing is most useful when applied to user variables. It’s possible to assign any value to a user variable, then use dereferencing to obtain values for its sub-fields. For example:
<!-- save calling party number from InitialDP -->
<assign toVariable="${user.calling-party-number}" value="${initial-dp.arg.calling-party-number}"/>
<!-- compare calling party number adddress with something -->
<if>
<equal a="${user.calling-party-number}.address" b="..."/>
<then> ... </then>
</if>| |
In the above example, you could not use the basic reference ${user.calling-party-number.address}; this would cause the SIS to look for a user variable with the name calling-party-number.address instead. |
Array indexing
If the value of a variable is an array type, the value can be indexed to obtain individual elements of the array. An array is indexed by using square brackets ([ and ]) surrounding an index. An index is either a constant numerical value or a reference to a variable that evaluates to a numerical value. An array index can be used after any array-type variable reference. The following example illustrates a variable reference that can be used to obtain the first element of the Destination Routing Address field of a Connect operation:
${connect.arg.destination-routing-address[0]}An array index only returns a value if the index evaluates to a value greater than or equal to zero and less than the number of elements in the array.
Array functions
The SIS provides a simple array index function that can be used to find an element of an array that matches a given condition. An array index function is a special type of array index "value", and its presence is denoted by surrounding parentheses: ( and ). The function itself is comprised of a condition of the form <a-value>==<b-value>, where <a-value> and <b-value> are either variable references or literal constants that can be compared. A variable reference used for the <a-value> should not include curly braces (${ and }), and typically would be a dereference of the special variable array.current-element. As the SIS iterates through the elements of the array, the array.current-element variable is assigned each element in turn, and then the array index function evaluated. By dereferencing this variable, each array element can be inspected and compared to some condition, in an attempt to find a matching element.
As a practical example of where this can be used, say we have a Connect operation and we want to find an Additional Calling Party Number from its array of Generic Numbers. We could do this as given below:
<assign toVariable="${user.acgpn}" value="${connect.arg.generic-numbers[(array.current-element.number-qualifier==ADDITIONAL_CALLING_PARTY_NUMBER)]}"/>The number-qualifier field of a Generic Number is an enumerated type for which ADDITIONAL_CALLING_PARTY_NUMBER is a named value.
Combining referencing mechanisms
| |
It’s possible to combine the various variable referencing mechanisms (dereferencing, array indexing, and so on) together into a single reference. The following variable references are all equivalent but use different combinations of referencing mechanisms: |
Variable types
SIS supports these variable types, representing particular Java types:
| Variable type | Java types | ||

User Extensions
While the SIS is very flexible, its triggers and service composition scripts cannot do everything. You may want to extend its behaviour by writing extension components, using Java.
The SIS supports two type of extension component:
-
service composition selection extensions — for complex composition-selection determination
-
signalling interceptor extensions — for complex manipulation of messages flowing in and/or out of a service.
Service composition selection extension
When trigger composition selection is too complex for predefined SIS composition selectors to describe, you can use a service composition selection (SCS) extension. For example, you might need to interrogate an external subscription database or analyse particular initial request parameters to determine which composition to select.
You implement an SCS extension as a JAIN SLEE service that interacts with the SIS, using either the:
When the SIS evaluates a trigger that contains an extension selector, it fires an event to the extension component specified in the selector. The event that is fired, and the SLEE activity the event is fired on, depends on the context of the call:
| Context | Activity type | Event type |
|---|---|---|
|
SIP call |
||
|
IN call |
The event object fired to the extension component contains the initial request that the SIS received. The extension component examines the initial request to determine which composition should be selected. The extension component then reports one of three possible outcomes back to the SIS:
-
It has successfully located and selected a composition, and returns that composition’s identifier.
-
It cannot determine a suitable composition.
-
It terminates trigger processing and returns a protocol-specific response (depending on the context of the call). The SIS then behaves the same as when encountering a terminate clause; however the extension component determines whether or not the response counts as an error condition.
Signalling interceptor extension
When manipulating messages flowing in and/or out of a service is too complex for the composition scripting language, you can use an interceptor extension. For example, you might need to interrogate an external network resource to update some signaling parameters.
You implement an interceptor extension as a JAIN SLEE service that interacts with the SIS using either the:
An interceptor extension may be invoked from within any composition interceptor.
To invoke an interceptor extension component, the SIS fires an event to it. The event that is fired, and the SLEE activity the event is fired on, depends on the call protocol:
| Protocol | Activity type | Event type |
|---|---|---|
|
SIP |
varies, depending on the intercepted input or output message |
|
|
IN |
varies, depending on the intercepted input or output message(s) |
| |
An interceptor extension cannot itself perform call control operations, such as sending messages to the network, on the original call it was invoked for. It can however use any API available to it to create new SLEE activities representing new interactions in the network, for any resource it needs to interact with. |
SIS Management
As with Rhino:
-
administrators manage the SIS using Java Management Extensions (JMX) MBeans
-
SIS implementations by default provide a command-line tool and Ant tasks to conveniently access the MBeans. (The command-line client, sis-console, is an extension of the rhino-console that supports a set of SIS commands as well as the normal Rhino commands.)
| |
See the Admin Guides for details
The SIS Administration Guide describes how to perform various management tasks using command-line tools, Ant tasks, and related MBean operations (for example, for custom JMX clients that need programmatic access to them). |
SIS Modules
A SIS module is an optional feature of the SIS that can be installed separately. Each module requires a right-to-use license. A module is packaged as a zip archive that you uncompress from <rhino-home>.
All modules install to:
<rhino-home>/sis/<protocol>/<sis-version>/modules/<module-name>/<module-version>/
Each SIS module includes: a command-line extension library with additional management commands
(beyond sis-console); and an install directory with the software, configuration files, and an installer application.
Installation package
Each module installation package has the following structure:
-
the install directory:
sis/<protocol>/<sis-version>/modules/<module-name>/<module-version>/install/

SIP Session Replication
As of version 2.6.1, the SIS-SIP EasySIP Resource Adaptor supports session replication. This means that SIP dialogs can be failed over to other cluster nodes if the original node failed.
Overview of Operation
Session replication is disabled by default. It can be enabled for all dialogs, or alternatively an application can specify that a particular dialog must be replicated, using an API call.
Normal Operation
When replication is enabled, the SIS initially creates the dialog state in local memory. When the dialog reaches the "Confirmed" state, the SIS writes the dialog state to its replicated store. This is either Rhino’s in-memory database, or an external key-value store, such as Cassandra.
| |
Early dialogs (dialogs where the initial request has not yet received a 2xx response) are not replicated. |
When the creating node receives mid-dialog requests, it processes the requests normally using the dialog state in local memory. When the SIP transaction completes, the updated dialog state is written to the replicated store.
When a dialog-terminating request such as BYE is processed, the local and replicated dialog state is removed when the transaction completes.
Failover and Recovery
If a node fails, it is assumed that an external mechanism, such as DNS or a load balancer, will direct SIP traffic to the surviving nodes in a cluster.
When a node receives a mid-dialog request for a dialog that does not exist in local memory, it attempts to load the dialog from its replicated state.
-
If the dialog is found, it is copied into local memory and the node can continue processing the mid-dialog request.
-
If the dialog is not found, then the SIS node rejects the request with a
481 Call/Transaction Does Not Existresponse.
When the original node recovers, failed-over dialogs do not migrate back to that node. Rather, the dialog remains on the node that last took over ownership of the dialog, as long as that node is alive. This is managed by Session Ownership.
Session Ownership
The SIS uses Rhino’s Session Ownership facility to track which node is currently responsible for a dialog. This is to ensure that requests in a dialog are processed on the same node if possible, for consistency. Otherwise dialog state could be updated by several nodes, leading to errors. In other words, dialogs are "sticky" and will only migrate to another node in the event of a node failure.
When a SIS node receives a mid-dialog request for a dialog that it does not currently own, the request is automatically proxied to the owning node, as determined by the Session Ownership facility. If the owning node is down, then the current node may take over ownership of the dialog and resume processing the request. The Session Ownership facility ensures that subsequent requests for this dialog will be directed to the correct node.
| |
Session Ownership records are not automatically created by the SIS; they must be created explicitly by the application processing the initial request. The Sentinel VoLTE session tracking features perform this function. |
Configuration for session replication
Enabling Session Replication and Session Ownership requires some configuration changes in the Rhino platform, as well as the SIS instance.
| |
Session Replication and Session Ownership are only available in SIS 2.6.1 or later, which requires Rhino 2.6.1 or later. |
Replication method
The replication method is determined by the Rhino namespace that the SIS instance is deployed into.
Rhino 2.6.1 and later supports two replication methods:
-
savanna— state is replicated to cluster nodes using Rhino’s Savanna reliable multicast protocol. -
key-value-store— state is written to an external key-value store database, currently Cassandra.
The key-value-store method is preferred for large clusters.
Session ownership
Rhino’s Session Ownership facility is automatically available to the SIS instance if its namespace has session ownership enabled. This requires configuring a Session Ownership store in Rhino, and creating a namespace with session ownership support.
Session replication mode
The sessionReplicationMode configuration property on the SIS-SIP EasySIP RA determines whether session replication will be used. This property has three values:
-
disabled— no replication will be used. -
enabled— replication is enabled. -
automatic— replication is enabled if the replication method iskey-value-store.
The default value is automatic.
Replicate by default
When replication is enabled in the SIS, there is also the option to selectively enable it on particular sessions. This is controlled by the replicateByDefault boolean configuration property:
-
If
true, and session replication is enabled, all sessions will be replicated. -
If
false, and session replication is enabled, then a session is only replicated on demand, when the application callsSipSession.startReplicating().
The default value is true.
When startReplicating() is called, the SIS replicates the session as soon as it is able to. If the dialog is not yet confirmed, replication will begin when it reaches the confirmed state. If the dialog is already confirmed, replication begins immediately, storing the current dialog state.
Dynamic SRV Name Format
To make use of per-node SRV addresses, the DynamicSRVNameFormat network interface property must be configured. The value of this property is a string that describes how a DNS SRV name is derived from either the node’s IP address or the environment variable $SRV_INSTANCE_ID.
If the special token ${IP} is used then it’s replaced with a DNS-safe encoding of the node’s IP address, that may be used as a domain name component.
For example if DynamicSRVNameFormat is tas-${IP}.site1.home1.net, then the node with IP address 192.168.10.1 will use the hostname tas-192-168-10-1.site1.home1.net in its Contact or Record-Route URIs.
For IPv6 addresses, each 2-octet group is hex-encoded and delimited with a hyphen. For example the address 1080::8:800:200C:417A is encoded as 1080-0000-0000-0000-0008-0800-200c-417a.
If the special token ${SRV_INSTANCE_ID} is used then its replaced with the value from the environment variable SRV_INSTANCE_ID.
For example if SRV_INSTANCE_ID is set to 'node101' and the format string is 'mmtel-${SRV_INSTANCE_ID}.home1.net' then this will generate the name 'mmtel-node101.home1.net'.
Per-node SRV addresses
For dialogs created by the SIS, mid-dialog requests are routed to the SIP URI provided in the Contact or Record-Route headers of the SIS’s dialog-creating request or response. By default this URI will contain the IP address of the SIS node. This means in the event of a node failure, mid-dialog requests cannot fail over to another IP address, so will fail.
The SIS already had the capability to use virtual addresses in its URIs, using the VirtualAddresses network interface property. The virtual address could be a DNS name that resolves to a load balancer address, or it might refer to a DNS NAPTR, SRV or A (address) record.
In the event of a node failure, some load balancers may be able to ensure that subsequent requests in a dialog are routed to the same surviving node. But for sites relying on DNS and SIP’s standard RFC 3263 DNS procedures for locating servers, there is no guarantee that subsequent requests in a dialog will be routed to the same node after a failure — the single virtual address in the SIS’s URI can resolve to any SIS node.
To support DNS failover in a more predictable fashion, the SIS may use per-node SRV addresses in its own SIP URIs. These are DNS SRV names generated from either the SIS node’s IP address or a value defined in SRV_INSTANCE_ID, so they are specific to that node. The operator can provision corresponding DNS SRV records to specify the primary and backup nodes. Requests will be routed to the given node when it is available, but will fail over to the given backup nodes by the rules of RFC 3263.
The use of this feature requires that the Session Ownership subsystem is available, and that each SIP dialog has a Session Ownership record.
Example
Say we have three SIS nodes, hostnames sis-1.home1.net, sis-2.home1.net and sis-3.home1.net. Their address records in DNS are:
sis-1.home1.net <ttl> IN A 192.168.10.1
sis-2.home1.net <ttl> IN A 192.168.10.2
sis-3.home1.net <ttl> IN A 192.168.10.3By configuring the DynamicSRVNameFormat network interface property with value ip-${IP}.home1.net, the SIS nodes will use URIs of the form sip:ip-192-168-10-1;lr;transport=tcp.
The operator provisions the corresponding DNS SRV records:
;; SRV address Priority Weight Port Target
_sip._tcp.ip-192-168-10-1.home1.net. <ttl> IN SRV 0 1 5060 sis-1.home1.net.
_sip._tcp.ip-192-168-10-1.home1.net. <ttl> IN SRV 10 1 5060 sis-2.home1.net.
_sip._tcp.ip-192-168-10-1.home1.net. <ttl> IN SRV 10 1 5060 sis-3.home1.net.
_sip._tcp.ip-192-168-10-2.home1.net. <ttl> IN SRV 0 1 5060 sis-2.home1.net.
_sip._tcp.ip-192-168-10-2.home1.net. <ttl> IN SRV 10 1 5060 sis-3.home1.net.
_sip._tcp.ip-192-168-10-2.home1.net. <ttl> IN SRV 10 1 5060 sis-1.home1.net.
_sip._tcp.ip-192-168-10-3.home1.net. <ttl> IN SRV 0 1 5060 sis-3.home1.net.
_sip._tcp.ip-192-168-10-3.home1.net. <ttl> IN SRV 10 1 5060 sis-1.home1.net.
_sip._tcp.ip-192-168-10-3.home1.net. <ttl> IN SRV 10 1 5060 sis-2.home1.net.| |
Corresponding records would be needed for UDP (_sip._udp) and TLS (_sips._tcp) transports, if used. |
For each per-node SRV address, there are 3 records. The first points to the node’s own host name, and the other records point to the 2 other node’s host names. The addresses are always tried in priority order (lowest to highest), by the rules of RFC 3263 and RFC 2782.
If node sis-1 fails, mid-dialog requests routed to sip:ip-192-168-10-1.home1.net will go to either sis-2 or sis-3 - assuming that both are available. This ensures that dialogs are "sticky" to the node that created them and are only sent to other nodes in the presence of a failure. Mid-dialog requests are automatically routed to one of the other nodes, and through the use of the Session Ownership subsystem are proxied to a single node such that requests for the same dialog are always processed on one node.
Initial requests
Initial requests can be directed to a virtual address, DNS NAPTR or SRV address that distributes traffic over all nodes in the cluster. So for the example cluster above, using a DNS SRV address we can say that all nodes have equal priority and weight:
;; SRV address Priority Weight Port Target
_sip._tcp.sis.home1.net. <ttl> IN SRV 10 1 5060 sis-1.home1.net.
_sip._tcp.sis.home1.net. <ttl> IN SRV 10 1 5060 sis-2.home1.net.
_sip._tcp.sis.home1.net. <ttl> IN SRV 10 1 5060 sis-3.home1.net.When a SIP client sends an initial request to the URI sip:sis.home1.net;transport=tcp, it will automatically select one of the three nodes at random as the destination for that request.
EasySIP API changes
Several enhancements were made to the EasySIP API to support SIP session replication.
Encoding and decoding of SIP messages
SipMessage objects may now be easily encoded to byte streams and back. This makes it easy to store messages in SBB CMP fields, for example. See SipFactory.encodeMessage() and SipFactory.decodeMessage().
Replicate sessions on demand
The method SipSession.startReplicating() requests that the session be replicated if possible. It is only meaningful if the replicateByDefault boolean configuration property is false.
The method may be called at any point in the session’s lifetime. The session will not actually be replicated until it reaches the "Confirmed" state. If the session is already in the "Confirmed" state when the method is invoked, replication begins immediately. Multiple invocations of this method have no effect.
Obtain dialog ID for session
The SipSession.getDialogID() method gets the session’s DialogID, consisting of Call-ID, local and remote tags.
The string form of this dialog ID may be used as the tracking key in the Session Ownership facility.
Internal Application Server URI
Each SIS instance has its own unique URI, referred to as the internal application server URI (AS URI). This is a SIP URI used by the SIS for its own communication between SIS nodes. Currently this is used when Session Ownership determines that a mid-dialog request must be handled by another node.
Applications must use the the internal AS URI as the "owner URI" for a session ownership record. The SipFactory methods SipFactory.getInternalASURI() and SipFactory.isInternalASURI() are used to obtain and check these URIs.
