Fixed In:

Opened: Oct 24, 2017

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Setting the DIAMETER persistence key's timeout using DIAMETER::persist <new_key> <new_timeout> disables bidirectional persistence.

Impact

Disables bidirectional persistence. Persistence entry records only destination (not source) of the session.

Conditions

Setting the DIAMETER persistence key's timeout using DIAMETER::persist <new_key> <new_timeout>.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

New keyword, DIAMETER::persist timeout <new_timeout> allows changing the timeout without changing the key.

Behavior Change

There is a new keyword, DIAMETER::persist timeout <new_timeout>, which supports changing the timeout without changing the key. Previously, if you changed the timeout, it disabled bidirectional persistence.
