Defining Features

Define Element

The properties of the external feature are configured in the Define Element. The FIM/XML tool processes the external FIM/XML file in the Define Element.

<define-external feature-name="TAT_1" precedence_lesser_than ="SCR" billing-name="tat1_as">

Table 1 lists the attributes in the Define Element.

Table 1	Attributes of Define Element
Attribute Name		Required	Description
feature_name		Yes	Name of the feature being defined. This is unique for all
			the features, including FCP or ISC.
billing_name		Optional	The name displayed when the feature is invoked in
			billing records.
precedence_lesser_than		Yes	The defined feature invoked after the attribute is set in
			the feature name. Precedence_lesser_than can contain
			any defined internal or external feature name. For
			originating features the 'precedence_lesser_than' must
			contain features defined on OHT_TRIGGER and for
			terminating
			'TERMINATION_ATTEMPT_AUTHORIZED '. To
			invoke a feature as the first feature, enter the value as
			NULL in precedence_lesser_than attribute.

Precedence-Exception Element

The Precedence-Exception element defines the exception in the precedence list for the defined external feature. The feature name in the precedence-exception element has a lesser precedence than the defined external feature even after the external feature is defined below it in the precedence list.

The following is the example to define precedence exception:

<define-external feature-name=“F5“ precedence-lesser-than=“F4” > <precedence-exception feature-name=“F2"/>

….

</define-external>

You can have as many exceptions for the precedence as you like (for example, F1>F2>F3>F4>F5>F2, where you can define F5 precedence less than F4 and greater than F2).

Table 2 lists the attributes of the Precedence-Exception Element.

Table 2	Attributes of Precedence-Exception Element
Attribute Name		Required	Description
Feature Name		Yes	Name of the feature that has lesser precedence than
			the defined external feature.

The FIM/XML tool expects the Precedence-Exception element in External FIM/XML file as follows.

<precedence-exception feature-name="CCW" />
