Service Creation Environment application development training

Course benefit

Upon completing this course, participants will have mastered the service development cycle as well as the programming languages used in the Service Creation Environment. Participants will be able to develop and validate services using the HP OpenCall SCE editor, compilers, and validation environment.

Target audience

Software engineers, system engineers, and project managers who will be developing services using the HP OpenCall Service Creation Environment platform.

Learning objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, participants should understand:

• Intelligent Network platform
  
  
• The Service Creation Environment tools set
  
  
• Service development steps – including:
  • The data modelling phase, using data description language (DDL)
  • The services programming phase – development of service logic program (SLP) using a subset of specification and description language (SDL), augmented by a set of HP OpenCall dedicated telecom operations
  
  
• Service design principles and the service execution model – including:
  • The dispatcher concept
  • Handling TCAP message and dialog
  • Interfaces with other HP OpenCall Service Execution Platform components, such as the MIB or the internal database
  • Service management support using logs or events
  
  
• Service validation steps – including:
  • Development of simulation scripts using tool command language (TCL) to be run over the service switching point emulator (SSPE)
  • Activation of the validation environment and execution of the services
  • Close follow-up of service execution using the HP OpenCall SCE editor animation feature

Course prerequisites

Mandatory:

• Familiarity with intelligent network concepts
• General SS7 knowledge
• Familiarity with HP-UX

Recommended:

• Detailed knowledge and understanding of TCAP. If this is not possible, this course can be adapted to include a brief overview of TCAP
• Familiarity with SDT, Telelogic's SDL editor. Telelogic offers training in using SDT in the context of the HP OpenCall SCE

This course is offered in English.

Course materials & methodology

Lectures are interspersed with hands-on exercises focusing on the following service examples:

• Dispatcher service – a generic illustration of the principles governing the interface between the communication channel and the services
• Specific example – illustrating how to design and implement a service to handle credit card calls where an intelligent peripheral will be used
• Additional programming exercises are included in order to acquaint participants with programming concepts – for example, handling timers, counters, and logs

Each participant will receive a print of the course slides.
