Description
SKIM application calls the initialize method to initialize the SKIM API object. This method initializes SKTAL and registers a TCAP subsystem (SSN) with the CSP.
When using multiple running applications on the same subsystem number, the startRange and endRange arguments should be modified to divide the dialogue IDs between them. For example, when using two applications the values are:
|
Application 1 |
Application 2 |
|---|---|
|
startRange = 0 |
startRange = 4096 |
|
endRange = 4095 |
endRange = 8191 |
int Initialize(int localNodeId, int stackId, int connId, int pc, int ssn, SKIM_TransHandler h1,
SKIM_NotificationHandler h2, void *tag, int startRange=0, int endrange=SK_MAX_TCAP_DIALOGS-1)
The input parameters are shown in the next table. There are no input/output parameters.
|
Argument |
Description |
|---|---|
|
localNodeId |
Local node ID |
|
stackId |
stack ID |
|
connId |
connection ID |
|
pc |
point code |
|
ssn |
subsystem number (SSN) |
|
h1 |
Default transaction handler callback. The transaction handler is invoked tby SKIM after receiving a TCAP transaction message. The prototype for SKIM transactionhandler is: typedef int (*SKIM_TransHandler)(SKIM_Trans &trans, void *tag); |
|
h2 |
Notification handler callback. The notification handler is invoked when notification message is received by SKIM. The prototype for notification handler is: typedef int (*SKIM_NotificationHandler)(SKIM_Notify ¬ify, void *tag); |
|
tag value |
Tag to be returned with the callbacks |
|
startRange |
Starting dialogue ID allocated to this application (For the specific SSN) |
|
endRange |
Ending dialogue ID allocated to this application (For the specifc SSN) |
Possible return values for this API are:
|
SKIM_SUCCESS |
No failure has occurred. |
