Opened: Sep 24, 2015

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Session already deleted forcefully by PEM, but when PCRF sends RAR with the same session ID then PEM responds with RAA with error code 5012 (unable to comply) instead of 5002(unknown session ID)

Impact

PCRF still think session exists giving wrong signal to PCRF

Conditions

Session Deleted when Gx connection down and tmm.pem.session.endpointDeleteResponse and tmm.pem.session.FinalUsageRecord set to low value to trigger forced delete.

Workaround

Make sure tmm.pem.session.endpointDeleteResponse is set to high value to make sure session not deleted if Gx connection is down for a short period of time

Fix Information

Issue is fixed now. PEM will send RAA with 5002 error code for forcefully deleted session
