Using Service Session Profiles

Service session profiles provide additional flexibility to the Service Manager application by enabling you to assign one or more supported attributes to a particular activation of a service.

For example, you might assign the same video service to two subscribers, but use different service session profiles to set different time limits for each subscriber’s service. One subscriber uses the video service for 5 hours (18000 seconds) while the other subscriber’s video service is for 10 hours (36000 seconds). Or, you might enable statistics on a subscriber’s voice service and disable statistics on the same subscriber’s video service.

You can create multiple service session profiles independent of the service activation process. Then, when you activate a service session, you specify the profile that you want to use with that particular service session—you can apply one profile to a service session.

You can configure the following attributes in service session profiles:

• statistics—Enables statistics and specifies the type of statistics you want to capture for the service. See Configuring Service Manager Statistics for additional information about capturing Service Manager statistics. You can specify the following types of statistics:
  • time—The service’s duration
  • volume-time—The service’s duration and traffic volume
• volume—Specifies that the service is automatically deactivated when the indicated traffic volume is exceeded.
• time—Specifies that the service is automatically deactivated when the indicated time period is exceeded.

  Note: The volume and time attributes use values captured by the Service Manager statistics feature to determine when the threshold is exceeded. Service Manager collects time statistics by default—you must configure and enable volume statistics collection. See Configuring Service Manager Statistics .

To create or modify a service session profile:

1. Specify the name of the service session profile; doing this enters Service Session Profile Configuration mode.

   host1(config)#service-management service-session-profile vodISP1

   host1(config-service-session-profile)#

2. Specify the attributes you want to include in the profile.

   host1(config-service-session-profile)#statistics volume-time

   host1(config-service-session-profile)#time 6000

3. (Optional) To modify an existing profile, you can add new attributes or use the no version of a command to remove an attribute.

   host1(config-service-session-profile)#no time

service-management service-session-profile

• Use to create a new service session profile or to specify the name of an existing profile you want to modify, and to enter Service Session Profile Configuration mode.
• In Service Session Profile Configuration mode, you specify the attributes used in the service session profile, such as the maximum volume limit for the session and the maximum time the session can be used. You can also specify that Service Manager collect statistics for time, or volume, or both.
• Example

  host1(config)#service-management service-session-profile vodISP1

  host1(config-service-session-profile)#

• Use the no version to delete the service session profile.
• See service-management service-session-profile

statistics

• Use to enable statistics collection and to specify the type of statistics to collect.
  • Use the time keyword to collect statistics about the duration of the service session.
  • Use the volume-time keyword to collect statistics about both the volume of traffic and the duration of the service session.
• Example

  host1(config)#service-management service-session-profile vodISP1

  host1(config-service-session-profile)#statistics volume-time

• Use the no version to disable statistics collection.

  Note: Service Manager statistics collection is a two-part procedure. You must configure statistics information in the service definition macro file and also enable statistics collection. See Configuring Service Manager Statistics .

• See statistics

time

• Use to specify the maximum amount of time that the service session can be active for the subscriber.
• The router immediately terminates the subscriber’s service session when the specified time is exceeded.
• The range is 0–16777251 seconds.
• Example

  host1(config)#service-management service-session-profile vodISP1

  host1(config-service-session-profile)#time 6000

• Use the no version to delete the time attribute from the service session profile.
• See time

volume

• Use to specify the maximum amount of bandwidth that can use the service.
• The router immediately terminates the subscriber’s service session when the specified traffic volume is exceeded.

  Note: The volume attribute uses values captured by the Service Manager statistics feature to determine when the threshold is exceeded. Therefore, you must configure and enable statistics collection to use this attribute. See Configuring Service Manager Statistics .

• The range is 0–16777251MB.
• Example

  host1(config)#service-management service-session-profile vodISP1

  host1(config-service-session-profile)#volume 1000000

• Use the no version to delete the volume attribute from the service session profile.
• See volume
