Note
Beginning with release 10.1, the Java version in the SBC is upgraded to 11.0. After upgrading the SBC to this release, the SSReq application will not operate because the Java 11 environment in the client system/desktop does not include "javaws", which is required to run SSReq on the client system.
The SSReq tool is used to verify the provisioning and features of the SBC Core systems by simulating requests (policy, trigger, download, DIAMETER, etc.). SSReq provides the ability to specify all of the parameters in the request and displays the response received from the PSX and the call trace. The requests and responses can be saved in files for future use.
The SBC handles simulated calls from SSReq in the same manner as any live call sent from any client in a live Ribbon network, such as from a GSX, a SIP server, etc. The policy response includes the same information provided to any client. Triggers are used to request a service from the PSX, such as an Authcode validation service or toll-free number translation service, allowing for the emulation of two-stage calls. Download requests are used to retrieve the script data from the SBC.
