public class AsyncBatchServiceClient
extends AsyncRatingServiceClient

This main Java class provides the necessary operations to implement Offline Charging Services (OFCS) in your SAP system landscape by using the Message TCP technical interface with asynchronous communications for the highest throughput performances.

Your client application converts the information data about the customer service usage (service consumption) as chargeable items and sends them to the connected SAP CC Core Server system to charge the past usage (consumption) of a marketable service by end customers; This class enables asynchronous communications via the Message TCP technical interface.

Consider the following information in this topic:

• Asynchronous Services and Operations
• Features
• Implementation in Your Client Application
• Notes on SAP CC Implementation

Asynchronous Services and Operations

• Offline acquisition step of the Deferred charging service - see acquire(java.util.List, com.highdeal.cnd.message.AcquisitionListener)
• Offline charging service (batch mode or single chargeable item)
• Quote service (blank charging)
• Recharging step of the Rerating end-to-end service (based on subscriptions or on provider contracts)

With this Java class, you can implement offline event-based charging services via the Message TCP high-speed technical interface.

Business Services: Offline Stateful Charging Services	Operations	Technical Names (Consider the methods in this Java class)	Result Listeners
Chargeable Item Acquisition	Batch acquisition operation	acquire(..)	AcquisitionListener
Offline Charging	Batch charging operation	batchCharge(..) to a contract or subscription	BatchChargeEventListener
Special: Event-based Advice of Charge	Blank charging operation	blankCharge(..)	ChargeEventListener

Note

You can implement the rerating end-to-end service (based on provider contracts) by using another communication interface based on SOAP APIs: Refer to the specifications of the Web Services technical interface.

Note

• Consult all the offline charging services that you can implement in your Java-based client application used as a mediation system.
• Refer to the BatchServiceClient class for synchronous communications and high throughput performances.

Deprecated Services and Operations

The following business operations or services are now deprecated and replaced. SAP SE recommends that you do not implement these operations anymore. They will be revoked in newer versions of SAP Convergent Charging.

Business Services	Deprecated Operations	Technical Names (Consider the methods in this Java class)	Replaced by
Non authenticated server connection	All class builders (except the empty one) that connect the client to the server without user credentials.

Features

This charging client benefits from the functions provided by the Messagte TCP technical interface. Refer to its features about:

• High Availability Management
• High Volume Management
• High Performance Management

Event Listener

Most of the operation requests are asynchronous and expect a specialized event listener for processing their results or exceptions in your charging client. These custom listeners are invoked in your charging client when the business operation is successful with the result of the operation or when it fails with an exception defining the problem.

Security

To implement a ciphered connection between the client and SAP CC, use AsyncRatingServiceClient.setSslContext(javax.net.ssl.SSLContext )

Since SAP CC 4.1 SP2, SAP CC is able to require an authenticated connection from a client application (see the MESSAGE_API_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED parameter in the parameter reference guide). The client must setup some valid user credentials by calling the setUserCredentials() method. Then, the client application will be authenticated and authorized to connect to the SAP CC server by calling one of the following connect() methods:

• AsyncRatingServiceClient.connect(com.highdeal.admin.hci.InstanceMap, String, int, FoundLostRatingListener, ServiceClientTuning)
• AsyncRatingServiceClient.connect(String, java.net.InetSocketAddress...)
• AsyncRatingServiceClient.connect(String, com.highdeal.barbus.InstanceAddress... )
• AsyncRatingServiceClient.connect(String, int )
• AsyncRatingServiceClient.connect(String, int, boolean, String, int, FoundLostRatingListener, ServiceClientTuning)
• AsyncRatingServiceClient.connect(String, int, FoundLostRatingListener)
• AsyncRatingServiceClient.connect(String, int, java.net.InetSocketAddress, String, int, FoundLostRatingListener, ServiceClientTuning, java.net.InetSocketAddress...)
• AsyncRatingServiceClient.connect(String, int, java.net.InetSocketAddress, String, int, FoundLostRatingListener, ServiceClientTuning, com.highdeal.barbus.InstanceAddress... )
• AsyncRatingServiceClient.connect(String, int, int)
• AsyncRatingServiceClient.connect(String, int, String, int, FoundLostRatingListener)
• AsyncRatingServiceClient.connect(String, int, String, int, FoundLostRatingListener, ServiceClientTuning)

Code Snippet

The following code snippet provides an example of how to authenticate a client application to the SAP CC server :

    private static final String DISPATCHER_HOST = "localhost";
    private static final int DISPATCHER_EXT_PORT = 2000;

    // Initialize the stateful service client by (always) calling the empty builder (other builders are deprecated)
    AsyncBatchServiceClient client = new AsyncBatchServiceClient();

    // Set the user credentials for the new created client
    // These credentials must refer to an existing service user in SAP CC that has the "messageChargingClient" role.
    client.setUserCredentials("clientX", "foopasswd");

    //Call one of the connect() methods that are provided in Service Client classes according to the
    //  expected behavior.
    ConnectionStatus status = client.connect(DISPATCHER_HOST, DISPATCHER_EXT_PORT);

    // Check the result of the  connect() method.
    if (!status.isServiceAvailable()) { // No dispatcher can be reached
    } // else at least one CC dispatcher has been reached and charging is available
 

Implementation in Your Client Application

Implementing the Relevant Event Listener

You determine the event listener to develop by viewing the signature of the Java method that you want to implement or by consulting the Asynchronous Services and Operations section.

• AcquisitionListener
• BatchChargeEventListener
• ChargeEventListener

See also the ChargeExceptionListener Java interface.

Initializing and Connecting

Code Snippet

The following code snippet provides an example of how to initialize a charging client based on the AsyncBatchServiceClient class:

      AsyncBatchServiceClient client = new AsyncBatchServiceClient();
      try {
          client.connect("dispatcher.hostname", 9000);
      } catch (IOException e) {
          System.out.println("Dispatcher instance is not found. Reason is: "+e.getMessage());
          return;
      }
 

Terminating

Do not forget to close this client when it is no more used to release its resources and nested threads invoking its method {TEST com.highdeal.cnd.message.AsyncBatchServiceClient#close() close()}.

Most of its methods are asynchronous and expect a listener for processing their results or exceptions. These listeners are invoked when the operation is successful with the result of the operation or when it fails with an exception defining the problem.

Implementing Batch Acquisition Services

You can implement this business operation if both SAP Convergent Charging and SAP Convergent Invoicing are in your system landscape. The consumption item management function must be enable in SAP Convergent Invoicing in the SAP ERP/FI-CA system.

Use the method acquire(..) .

Implementing Batch Charging Services

Customizing Sequence

• guiderLookup
• batchCharge

Implementing Recharging for Rerating Services

To provide your system landscape with rerating services, you must implement the Recharging step of this process. This step follows the correction of the source(s) of the mistakes.

Recommendation

Before implementing these operations, refer to the SAP CC Application Help for more information about these processes.

Customizing Sequence

Use the following sequence of SAP CC operations to correct subsriptions or charging contracts:

• Identify the subscriptions or charging contracts to rerate
• Generate a reratingLockCode
• Call the informStartSubscriptionRerating operation for each subscription or charging contract to lock it and restore the values of its counters
• Send the chargeable items to recharge for all subscriptions or charging contracts in chronological order (by calling the batchCharge(..) operation or the charge operation
• Call the informStopSubscriptionRerating operation for each subscription or charging contract to unlock it

Additional Information

Consult all the online and offline charging services that you can implement in your Java-based client application.

Consult the SAP CC Application Help for more information about the Offline Charging Services.

Deprecated.

Requests the connected SAP CC Core Server system to charge in batch mode a sorted set of chargeable items for the specified user service ID (USID) and service ID (SID) and relating to an already identified subscription or charging contract. The system returns the resulting purchase orders that includes transactions computed according to the ts parameter.

Note

When dealing with subscriptions:

• The SAP CC system filters the computed transactions according to the transaction templates assigned to the subscribed offer.
• This operation may conflict with prerating operations. Do not use this operation there are some pending prerating operations.

Parameters:

parameters - The chronological list of ChargeParameters to charge in batch mode

subscriptionOrContractID - The unique ID of the selected subscription or charging contract

partitionID - The identifier of the rating partition

chargeType - The type of accessible charge depending on the scope of the batch charging operation: subscription or charging contract

acquire

public void acquire(java.util.List<AcquisitionParameters> parameters,
                    AcquisitionListener listener)
             throws CommunicationFailureException,
                    ServerFailureException

Asks the server to asynchronously execute a list of acquisition operations.

Acquisition parameters contains a chargeable item and access information (service identifier, user identifier and consumption date). The acquisition consists in finding the charging contract targeted by the access specified, and then to export the chargeable item with additional information using the CIF, without performing rating or charging, for storage purposes.

The acquisition operations are executed in mode most, meaning that if an acquisition operation for a chargeable item fails, the following acquisition operations are executed anyway.

The listener specified as argument is called by the client with a list of acquisition results when the server responds. Each result corresponds to the acquisition parameters in the same position in the list of parameters specified as argument. If an acquisition operation fails, the corresponding result contains an exception which contains details on the error.

Note:

This operation is not allowed if the CIF of the rater instances does not contain a chargeable item processor.

Parameters:

parameters - a list of acquisition parameters to use for the acquisition

listener - a listener called by the client when the server returns the result of the operation

Throws:

CommunicationFailureException - if a communication failure occurs during the acquisition of the chargeable items

ServerFailureException - if an unexpected exception occurs during the acquisition of the chargeable items
