Introduction to the Rf accounting Web service

IMS™ Application Server applications use the Rf accounting Web service to send accounting information to a Charging Collection Function (CCF). The Rf accounting Web service implements the operations required to perform offline accounting transactions. The operations allow an application to send event and session accounting records to the CCF.

The Rf accounting Web service interface is used only for offline charging. It includes the ability to send Accounting-Start, Accounting-Stop, and Accounting-Interim messages to an accounting server. It also has the ability to send an Accounting-Event notification to the accounting server. Offline charging can be used to track a single event, such as purchasing a cell phone ring tone, or to track a service that is used over time such as the start and end of a conference call. The DiameterImsRfApi defines the offline accounting transactions available through Web services.
