General Points

• The IXP Data Flow Processing Chain is composed of multiple DFP Processes :

a process DFP Building (using MSUs/PDUs to build xDRs) a process DFP Operation (OPTIONAL)

a process DFP Storage (to store xDRs and KPIs to the Oracle Database)

• DFP Operation is mandatory for the usage ProTraq NSP • If the session you want to use as source for a ProTraq configuration is NOT using a DFP Operation : Need to add it manually

• This DFP Operation must have the same name as the session

If the DFP Operation has been created with the help of the IXP configuration assistant, the DFP Operation will have the same name as the session.

Analyze the current DFP configuration

• Head to the IXP > Configure > Distribution menu Here it is possible to find out the chaining of the different DFP processes Locate your chaining of DFP and check if there is a DFP Operation between the DFP Building and the DFP Storage

Here we have a Building followed by a Storage : a DFP Operation should be added in between, its name being the same as the session name

If there was a DFP Operation with the same name as the session name, you could jump to the next section of the MOP.

Adding a DFP Operation (2/8)

• Configure the new DFP Operation

Name must be the same as the session created by this DFP chain In our example the session name is My_MAP_TDR

User information : a comment to describe the DFP Operation Active : checked, else it will not do anything

DFP type will be Operation, of course.

Adding a DFP Operation (4/8)

• Enter an Output stream name

It will be used in input of the DFP Storage of your current DFP chain For this example we used the name My_MAP_TDR_Operation_out

Output format is not mandatory

Hit the Next Button to complete the DFP Operation configuration
