(I did post the message below but now can't find it, so apologies if this is posted twice)

We currently use Wap3GX and we had some issues with a customer where is would have been handy to be able to query the service and produce internal "alarms" when certain thresholds on the licence have been reached.

Is there a way of checking the licence usage on the service i.e. snmp/remote API?

Thanks

Hi Stephen,

Currently there is not. We are looking into some of these areas for an update later this summer. But unfortunately, I don't have anything to suggest at present.

Kent,

Thanks for that. I am slightly confused by the licence usage: We have call analysis that shows simultaneous calls to be about 1/3 of the number of licence usage. How does licence usage vary within a single call? It is one licence per GET request (with a timeout on the licence?)

Just need to sort it all out in my own head before committing more licence purchases...

Do you have any docs / FAQ's that address these kinds of questions?

Regards

Steve

Steve,

If the browser terminates the call with a WAP disconnect, then the gateway terminates the session automatically (except in WTLS mode due to some compatibility issues with some phones).

If the browser doesn't do a WAP disconnect, then the default is a timeout after 10 minutes. You can adjust the timeout by manually editing WAPGW.INI, and setting SessionTimeout=## under the [WAPGW] header, where ## is the number of minutes for an automatic timeout. I don't recommend setting that number too low as that could cause errors on some phones. 5 is a reasonable minimum.

Are there any updates to the SNMP facility to send a trap on reaching license threshold.

Additionally I did not find a "SessionTimeout=##" parameter in the wapgw.ini file. Should I go ahead and add one?

Thanks.

Being able to monitor license usage would be of great help. It would help in determining license expansion needs.

Any ideas on how this can be done?
