Policy Builder Overview
CPS DRA allows service providers to create policies that are customized to their particular business
requirements through the Policy Builder interface which is a web-based application with a graphical user
interface (GUI) that enables rapid development of innovative new services.
Policy Builder page supports both configuration of the overall CPS cluster of virtual machines (VMs) as well
as the configuration of services and advanced policy rules.
System Configuration
You need to define a system as it represents the customer deployment. Each system contains one or more
clusters that represent a single high availability site environment. A cluster is used to define configurations
related to the blades and shares the same set of policy directors.
In Policy Builder, the Environment specific data section displays a list of system configurations that enables
you to perform create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations and to create clusters which can further
overwrite and customize system configurations.
Configure System
Perform the following steps to configure a system:
Configuring CPS DRA
1
Step 1 In CPS DRA, navigate to Policy Builder.
Step 2 Select Systems under Reference Data.
Step 3 Enter the values in each field as described in the following table:
Table 1: Configure System Parameters
DescriptionField
Name of the CPS system.Name
Description of the entire system.Description
If no messages are received in x hours, the session is
removed.
Default value is 8.
Session Expiration (hours)
If no messages are received in x minutes, the session is
removed.
Default value is 0.
Session Expiration (minutes)
Time in minutes that CPS takes to keep a session alive after
the subscriber logs off. The other network entities involved
in the session close the session.
Default value is 0.
Timeout For Unknown Session
Time in seconds in which a soft delete session is maintained
for a CPS session after the session ends.
Default value is 30.
Timeout For Soft Delete
Select this check box to allow two primary keys to be
utilized by maintaining a map of each separate primary key
and storing the true multi-primary key as a UUID related
to the two maps. Changing this setting has a negative
performance impact. Keep the Enable Multi Primary Key
unchecked.
Default is unchecked.

Determines the write behavior of sessionMgr and for the
error exceptions raised.
Default option is OneInstanceSafe.
DB Write Concern
Used to enter the duration (in milliseconds) to wait before
starting failover database handling.
Failover SLA (ms)
Specifies a time limit, in milliseconds. This parameter is
applicable only if you select TwoInstanceSafe in Db Write
Concern.
Causes write operations to return with an error after the
specified limit, even if the required write concern eventually
succeeds. When these write operations return, MongoDB
does not undo successful data modifications performed
before the write concern exceeds the replication wait time
limit. The time is in milliseconds.
Replication Wait Time (ms)
Determines the size in MegaBytes of the policy_trace
database capped collection.
Default value is 512.
Trace Database Size (MB)
The minimum amount of time in minutes to keep a
secondary key for a session.
Default value is 2000.
Min Key Cache Time (minutes)
Default value is 2000.Max Timer TPS
The number of batches or buckets into which CPS will
divide the transactions to be processed when the rate limiting
TPS function of CPS is triggered. The rate limiting feature
is defined in the Max Timer TPS field.
Default is 50 buckets.

DescriptionField
Defines the delay before processing the next bucket. Enter
the sum of all the delays between all the buckets.
Assuming 50 re-evaluation buckets are configured (by
default), the default interval of 20000 milliseconds will
introduce a delay of 408 milliseconds before proceeding
with the next bucket of transactions.
bucket_size-1 / interval = delay between buckets
50-1 / 20000 = 408
Default is 20000 milliseconds
Re-evaluation diffusion interval (ms)
The amount of time in milliseconds for the Policy Engine
to wait between sending each Broadcast Policy Message.
Default value is 50.
Broadcast Message Wait Timer (ms)
This is the maximum number of shard per session.Max Sessions Per Shard
Enable or disable full scan for secondary key database
lookups. By default, the secondary key database lookups is
enabled.
Disabling secondary key database lookups helps in reducing

Diameter Routing
Diameter request message routing is done via realms and applications. A Diameter message that is forwarded
by Diameter agents (proxies, redirects or relays) must include the target realm in the Destination-Realm AVP
and one of the application identification AVPs
(Auth-Application-Id/Acct-Application-Id/Vendor-Specific-Application-Id). The realm can be retrieved from
the User-Name AVP, which is in the form of a Network Access Identifier (NAI). The realm portion of the
NAI is inserted in the Destination-Realm AVP. Diameter agents have a list of locally supported realms and
applications, and can have a list of externally supported realms and applications.
Routing AVP definitions links the different Application Routing tables to required CRD tables and supports
the following applications:
