OSCM 17.2

 What's new?

Obtaining Subscription Usage Data

A platform operator can now create a report listing all currently active subscriptions of all customers, including the number of virtual machines (VMs) booked with subscriptions to IaaS services, for example, in OpenStack. The report also shows the number of users assigned to the subscriptions. This data can then be passed to suppliers so that they can charge customers for their usage of VMs.

APP Configuration in Web Interface

The APP administrator can now change some configuration settings for APP using the APP Web interface where service controllers are registered. The new settings overwrite the ones stored in the bssapp database as imported via the configsettings.properties file when APP was deployed.

Configuration of Ports for the OSCM Glassfish Domains

The glassfish.domain.WS_PORT configuration setting has been renamed to glassfish.domain.WS_PORT_SECURE. This setting defines the port used for a secure HTTP listener for Web service connections of the application server. The listener now uses SSL with the default application server certificate (s1as).

Extension of Parameter Configuration Tool Sample

The parameter configuration tool sample included in the OSCM integration package has been extended. It is now possible for customers to view the price per subscription for a parameter when subscribing to a service. The parameter tool API has also been extended by methods for retrieving information on parameter prices for a subscription and per user.

The sample UI supports for parameter prices for subscriptions. The API does not support stepped prices. In addition, currencies are not displayed/displayable.
