Cisco Systems 10200 manual Tool Requirements, Advantages of the FIM/XML Tool

Appendix B FIM/XML

Tool Requirements

•Specify the precedence order for the external features

•Define the list of features that inhibit the external feature

•Define error response operations

Advantages of the FIM/XML Tool

The FIM/XML tool enables the service provider or operator to specify the SIP trigger-based features. The SIP trigger-based feature examples are, Off-Hook Delay Trigger (OHD), Termination Attempt Triggers TAT-1 and TAT-2.

The tool helps to define the interactions and precedence with the other features of Cisco BTS 10200. The service provider can generate his or her own XML file (FIM/XML) according to the schema data provided in the Cisco BTS 10200. Once the generated FIM/XML file is installed on the

Cisco BTS 10200, the new external application server-driven features and their interactions with other Cisco BTS 10200 features comes into effect.

The advantages of the FIM/XML tool are:

•The tool prevents the operator from the possibility of disrupting the external/current features when editing the complex FIM/XML file. The FIM/XML tool now provides an easy and efficient way of editing the complex file seamlessly.

•Provides a semantic check on the operator-generated FIM/XML file.

In order to specify a common SIP trigger profile, an additional XML file needs to be generated. This XML file calls the Shared Initial Filter Criteria (iFC) XML file read by Cisco BTS 10200 to determine the SIP trigger profiles. SIP trigger profiles are used to determine the address of the application server and populate the different route-headers when SIP triggers launch. For additional information on the shared iFC file, refer to the “FIM/XML File and Shared iFC File” section on page B-9.

Tool Requirements

Each Cisco BTS 10200 release includes an original FIM/XML file. The offline FIM/XML tool allows the service provider or operator to define a new external feature or modify existing interactions involving the ISC features.

The Cisco BTS 10200 must meet the following conditions and requirements for the FIM/XML tool:

•Java Virtual Machine (JVM) 1.6 or above is installed on the system.

•All three input files (for example param=1, param=2, and param=3) are present in the same directory as the tool .jar file. Refer to Step 6 in the procedure below for the list of input files.
