Telecom Web Services Server Component, Version 6.1.1 Interim Fix 2
© Copyright International Business Machines Corporation 2007. All rights reserved. US Government Users Restricted Rights - Use, duplication or disclosure restricted by GSA ADP Schedule Contract with IBM Corp.
This Interim fix contains fixes for SMS over SMPP service implementation of IBM® WebSphere® Telecom Web Services Server (TWSS), Version 6.1.1 release. This Interim fix is recommended for all customers with a TWSS 6.1.1 installation.
The following SMPP fixes are
included:
1) Usage records are written in
the wrong place.
APAR LI72393
The usage records should be
written when a response comes back from the network. Also, MSISDN information
should be updated in usage records.
2) tel: is prepended while
sending target to n/w and updating db.
APAR LI72393
When target number is passed to
network, tel: is prepended
to number and network doesn't recognize it to be a valid destination.
3) NullPointer
exception while starting notification.
APAR LI72393
While starting SMS MMM
notification, NullPointer exception is thrown. It
does not affect SMS SMPP notification operation.
4) JCAConnector
need to support send RingTone/Logo
operations.
APAR LI72393
Add binary support to JCA adapter
to support send RT/Logo operations.
5) Address plan validation is
failing when blank "tel:+"
is sent.
APAR LI72393
Address plan validation is failing
when blank "tel:+"
is passed as an address. Validation check is added to process blank address.
6) DCR 49 :
Priority fix.
APAR LI72393
Support for Priority Policy is added to set the priority of messages in SMS over SMPP.
The following policies are used.
service.custom.priorityEnabled = true
service.custom.requestPriority = 1
(Note that requestPriority can be set to a different number of priority levels.)
service.custom.priority."alias"."requestPriority".Primary = User,Password
For example, for the default alias, define User,password as follows:
service.custom.priority.default.1.Primary = User,Password
service.custom.priority.default.1.Secondary = User,Password
7) Improper SMS segmentation.
APAR LI72463
The message is always being sent in three segments and the
segments are random in size.
8) Extra characters added to SMS message.
APAR
LI72452
If a
message is being sent in multiple destination, it is
received with two special characters appended.
9) java.nio.BufferOverflow exception
thrown for UTF-16BE data coding type.
For the
UTF-16BE data coding type set, when a message is sent, a BufferOverflow exception is generated.
