WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere IP Multimedia Subsystem Connector, Version 6.2

Installing Rf accounting Web service (Standalone)

Rf accounting Web service is a messaging interface to enable an application to send accounting messages to a Charging Collection Function (CCF).

Before you begin
Before you begin, the following software should be installed:
  • A supported version of WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment

    For a list of required WebSphere Application Server fixes, refer to the readme file, WebSpheresoftwareForTelecomReadme.html, on the QuickStart CD.

  • Diameter Enabler base
Verify that you have the following files needed for the installation:
  • DHADiameterRfWebServiceEAR (in was_root/installableApps/ImsConnector)
    Note: was_root is the installation root directory for WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment. By default, this directory is:
    • AIX /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
    • Linux /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
    • Solaris /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
  • Diameter_Rf.properties (in was_root/installableApps/ImsConnector/properties)
  1. Log in to the server where WebSphere Application Server is installed.
  2. Copy Diameter_Rf.properties to the following directory:
    • AIXLinuxSolaris was_profile_root/properties
    Note: was_profile_root is the directory for a WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment profile called profile_name. By default, this directory is:
    • AIX /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/profile_name
    • Linux /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/profile_name
    • Solaris /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/profile_name

    For example, AppSrv01.

  3. Open Diameter_Rf.properties in a text editor.
  4. Find the OriginHostName property. Type the host name to match the host name of the application server where Diameter Enabler base is installed. The OriginHostName must be unique between a Diameter node and all of its peers. Typically, the fully qualified domain name of WebSphere Application Server where Diameter Enabler is installed can be used. However, if you are using vertical clustering, then you must alter this name for each server on that cluster. This value does not have to be identical to the fully qualified domain name of WebSphere Application Server.
  5. Find the OriginRealmName property. Type the realm name to match the realm of the application server where Diameter Enabler base is installed.
  6. Find the HostIpAddress property. Type the IP address where the Diameter Enabler base is installed. If Diameter Enabler base is installed on a multi-homed machine, the HostIpAddress should be one of the network interfaces that is present on WebSphere Application Server.
  7. Find the ProxySupport property.
    • Type true to enable proxy support
    • Type false to turn off proxy support.
    The default value is true. If you are not using proxy servers in your environment, set the value to false. Because the proxy support settings are independent for each Web service, you can enable proxy support for one or more of the Web services.
  8. Log in to the Integrated Solutions Console:
    1. Open a browser and navigate to the following URL: https://host_name:port/ibm/console.
      Where:
      • host_name is the fully qualified host name of the server where the application or the network deployment manager is deployed.
      • port is the secured port used to access the console. The default port is 9043.
      Note: The default unsecured port is 9060. If you use 9060, you must have "http" instead of "https" in the URL.
    2. Enter an administrator user ID and password. (Omit the password if security is not enabled.)
    3. Click Log in.
  9. Install DHADiameterRfWebServiceEAR by completing the following steps:
    1. In the navigation panel, click Applications > Install new application.
    2. Click Browse to locate DHADiameterRfWebServiceEAR.
    3. Select Show me all installation options and parameters.
    4. Click Next > Next > Continue.
    5. If security is enabled, click Step 7: Map security roles to users or groups, and select the check box corresponding to Diameter_Role to map the user and groups that you wish to grant access to the Rf accounting Web service.
    6. Click Step 8: Summary, and verify all options have the correct values.
    7. Click Finish.
    8. Click Save to save changes to the master configuration.
  10. In the navigation panel, click Applications > Enterprise applications.
  11. Select the check box corresponding to DHADiameterRfWebServiceEAR.
  12. Click Start. You should receive the following message: Application DHADiameterRfWebServiceEAR on server server_name and node node_name started successfully.
  13. Verify Application status for DHADiameterRfWebServiceEAR is started. After the application is started, Diameter Enabler base will start to establish connections.
