Configuring the SRC-VTA to Manage Database Accounts

The SRC-VTA uses the database engine processor to update database accounts. The database engine processor works as a proxy to a database. It can calculate usage, update account balances, get account and active service session data, and set initial balances of subscriber accounts. You can also use it to dynamically adjust interim accounting intervals based on a service or based on a subscriber’s remaining resources and use of the network for that service.

The database engine processor consists of account update scripts, subscriber accounts, service accounts, and actions.

To configure the database engine processor:

1. In the VTA Configuration Manager navigation pane, select Edit.
2. Under Current Configuration, select Processors.

   A list of processors appears.

   

3. Click Enable to enable the processor and display the configuration page for the database engine processor, or click Database Engine Processor.

   The Database Engine Processor screen appears.

   
4. You can enable or disable the processor and perform the following tasks:
   • Configuring Scripts That Update Accounts
   • Configuring the SRC-VTA to Manage Subscriber Accounts
   • Configuring a Usage Metric for Service Accounts
   • Adjusting the Interim Accounting Interval for a Service
   •  Configuring Actions for the Database Engine Processor
