ApplyCharging

Overview

The ApplyCharging operation represents the receipt of an INAP ApplyCharging. The test instance will abort if any other inbound message is received.

This message is received by the IN Tester when it is simulating the role of a Service Switching Platform (SSP).

Direction: INBOUND
From: SCP (Application Under Test)
To: SSP (IN Tester)

Attributes

The operation attributes are as follows.

Attribute	Type	Description
`type`	String	`inap.ssp_from_scp.ApplyCharging`
`label`	String	An optional label for this node if it is to be the target of a `branch` operation.
`last_component`	`1` / `0`	If `1` performs a test that this is the last component of a TCAP_END message. If `0` performs a test that this is not the last component of a TCAP_END message. (Default = do not perform any test).
`tcap_ac`	`null` / TCAP alias / Hex String	Tests the received TCAP Application Context from the first inbound TCAP_CONTINUE / TCAP_END dialogue portion. If `null` tests that we did not receive a dialogue portion. (Default = do not perform any test).
`tcap_result`	Integer	Tests the received `result` value from the first inbound TCAP_CONTINUE / TCAP_END dialogue portion. If `null` tests that we did not receive a dialogue portion. (Default = do not perform any test).
`tcap_result_diagnostic_user`	Integer	Tests the received `dialogue-service-user` value from the first inbound TCAP_CONTINUE / TCAP_END dialogue portion. If `null` tests that we did not receive a dialogue portion, or that it did not contain a user result diagnostic. (Default = do not perform any test).
`tcap_result_diagnostic_provider`	Integer	Tests the received `dialogue-service-provider` value from the first inbound TCAP_CONTINUE / TCAP_END dialogue portion. If `null` tests that we did not receive a dialogue portion, or that it did not contain a provider result diagnostic. (Default = do not perform any test).
`variant`	String	`camel`, `genband` (or unspecified for generic default).
`arguments`	Object	[Required] The structure of the INAP ApplyChargingArg we expect to receive. Expressions may be supplied within this structure.

Example

This is an example genband variant entry within the operations array:

{
    "type": "inap.ssp_from_scp.ApplyCharging",
    "variant": "genband",
    "arguments" : {
        "aChBillingChargingCharacteristics": {
            "AChBillingChargingCharacteristics1": {
                "maxConversationTime": 40,
                "treatmentForFirstWarning": {
                    "warningTimeBeforeExpiry": 30,
                    "informationToSend": {
                        "inbandInfo": {
                            "messageID": {
                                "elementaryMessageID": 500
                            },
                            "numberOfRepetitions": 1,
                            "duration": 0,
                            "interval": 0
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

This is an example camel variant entry within the operations array:

    {
      "type": "inap.scp_to_ssp.ApplyCharging",
      "variant": "camel",
      "arguments": {
            "aChBillingChargingCharacteristics": {
                "timeDurationCharging": {
                    "releaseIfdurationExceeded": "1",
                    "maxCallPeriodDuration": "600"
                }
            }
        }
    }

This is an example generic entry (no variant specified) within the operations array:

    {
        "type": "inap.scp_to_ssp.ApplyCharging",
        "arguments" : {
            "partyToCharge": {
                "sendingSideID_hex": "02"
            },
            "achBillingChargingCharacteristics_hex": "00421A0099"
        }
    }

Arguments (All Variants)

The following inbound arguments are supported for all variants. Unless specifically indicated otherwise, the actual received inbound arguments will be checked for each supplied “expected” value, and Pass/Fail entries will be generated in the test instance check_log.

To check that an inbound value is NOT present, specify the argument as null.

Argument	Type	Notes
`sendCalculationToSCPIndication`	Integer	Specify the expected integer value.
`partyToCharge`	Object	May contain sendingSideID and/or receivingSideID as appropriate.
.`sendingSideID`	Binary String	Specify this parameter as a single byte binary value.
.`sendingSideID_hex`	Hex String	Alternatively specify a two-character hex encoding. Ignored if `sendingSideID` is defined.
.`receivingSideID`	Binary String	Specify this parameter as a single byte binary value.
.`receivingSideID_hex`	Hex String	Alternatively specify a two-character hex encoding. Ignored if `receivingSideID` is defined.

Arguments (CAMEL)

The following additional inbound arguments are supported. Unless specifically indicated otherwise, the actual received inbound arguments will be checked for each supplied “expected” value, and Pass/Fail entries will be generated in the test instance check_log.

To check that an inbound value is NOT present, specify the argument as null.

Argument	Type	Notes
`achBillingChargingCharacteristics`	Object	Container for inner values.
.`timeDurationCharging`	Object	Container for inner values.
