Parameter: COUNTER_ROUNDING_MODE

Definition

The method for rounding counter values

Description and Use

This parameter specifies the method for rounding the values of the counters stored in the provider contracts and in the subscriptions for the end customers. It is used if the precision defined by the COUNTER_PRECISION parameter was modified.

Syntax and Constraints

The possible values are:

  • NEAREST: Rounds towards the nearest neighbor. If the discarded fraction is >= .5, then raise, otherwise truncate.
  • TRUNCATE : Truncates the amount. The fraction is discarded.
  • RAISE : Increments the digit prior to a non zero discarded fraction.

Caution

Set up the same value to this parameter for each rater instance of the system to avoid inconsistency in computed data.

Category Parameter
Type String

RW(-): Dynamic Read / Static Write

An immediate change is not possible. For a deferred and permanent change, use the set command of the Admin+ user interface to change the parameter value for a specific type of instance in the SAP CC Core Server system. A restart is needed for permanent changes.

Groups
Instance Type This system parameter is only available in the following type of instances in a running SAP CC Core Server system:
  • rater
Default Value (Factory Settings)

The predefined default value is:

Instance Type Value
Rater TRUNCATE

You can use a default value to reset the runtime value or the restart value (persistent) in the Admin+ user interface.

Note

A default value is part of the factory settings of the SAP CC Core Server systems. It differs from the original value set during the installation or after the Customizing activities.

In Admin+, you can reset a parameter value to this default value, but it is not recommended:

  • This value may differ from the original value set during the installation of your SAP CC system.
  • Note that it may also differ from the value defined by the implementation project team and set during the Implementation Phase of the integration project.
Verify the values in your running SAP CC systems before to use the reset command.
