IBM WebSphere IP Multimedia Subsystem Connector, Version 6.2
Standalone installation of WebSphere IMS Connector
Installing IBM® WebSphere® Diameter
Enabler Component is
a multiple step process. A standalone (non clustered) installation
consists of preparing your environment, installing the subcomponents, and configuring Diameter Enabler base.
Preparing the environment
To install the Diameter Enabler successfully,
you must first install and configure the prerequisite software. Also,
you must first configure the application server platform and whichever
of the following that you plan to use: Charging Collection Function (CCF), Online Charging System (OCS),
and Home Subscriber Server (HSS).
Preparing the database Sh subscriber profile Web service and Ro online charging Web service require
a database to store subscriber notification data for the subscribe and notify
functions of the Web service. A database is required only if you plan to use
the subscribe and notify capabilities of the Sh subscriber profile Web service or
the subscribe/reauthorization notification capabilities of the Ro online charging Web service.
Installing Diameter Enabler base (Standalone) Diameter Enabler base is
installed into the plugins directory in your WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment path.
The installation process includes minor configuration steps necessary
to run the Diameter Enabler base.
Connecting to the database After the database and WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment are
installed, you must create the data source in the application server
for the Sh subscriber profile Web service and Ro online charging Web service to
be able to access the database for the subscribe and notification
functions. To
connect to the database, you must create a JAAS authentication alias
for the database, create the JDBC provider, and define the data source
using the Integrated Solutions Console.
Installing the services Rf accounting Web service, Ro online charging Web service, and Sh subscriber profile Web service are
deployed as enterprise applications on your WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment node.
Verifying the connection
After you complete the installation, you should verify that the Diameter Enabler is
able to connect with other Diameter peers. Diameter peers include the Charging Collection Function (CCF), Online Charging System (OCS), Home Subscriber Server (HSS),
and agents.
