Definition

To activate the periodic/one-off fees of all the provider contracts

Command Usage

Syntax

start_contract_activation <REF_DATE> <MAX_THROUGHPUT>

Command Arguments
Name Description
<REF_DATE> The reference date (ISO 8601 date format: yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss)
<MAX_THROUGHPUT> The maximum throughput (in provider contracts per second and by rater instance of the SAP CC system)

Detailed Information

The start_contract_activation command triggers the activation of all the periodic and one-off fees related to all the provider contracts (see recurring rates and one-shot rates). This customer master data is stored in the back-end database of SAP CC.

The activation process may decrease the global performances of the convergent charging services in your SAP CC system landscape.

Use the ISO 8601 format (yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss) to enter a date.

You can limit the performance decrease by specifying the maximum throughput of objects processed per second by each rater instance of the SAP CC system. The maximum throughput must be greater than or equal to 0. The value 0 means that the throughput is not limited.

Caution

Make sure the business traffic is low before using this command.

Note

The start_contract_activation command returns to the command prompt only when all the provider contracts have been processed in the connected SAP CC system.

Authorization

You must have a specific role in your SAP CC user profile. Refer to the SAP CC Security Guide for more information about the necessary authorizations.
