1 Scope
The present document is part 11 of the Stage 3 specification for an Application Programming Interface (API) for Open
Service Access (OSA).
The OSA specifications define an architecture that enables application developers to make use of network functionality
through an open standardised interface, i.e. the OSA APIs.
The present document specifies the Account Management Service Capability Feature (SCF) aspects of the interface. All
aspects of the Account Management SCF are defined here, these being:
• Sequence Diagrams
• Class Diagrams
• Interface specification plus detailed method descriptions
• State Transition diagrams
• Data Definitions
• IDL Description of the interfaces
• WSDL Description of the interfaces
The process by which this task is accomplished is through the use of object modelling techniques described by the
Unified Modelling Language (UML).

4 Account Management SCF
The following clauses describe each aspect of the Account Management Service Capability Feature (SCF).
The order is as follows:
• The Sequence diagrams give the reader a practical idea of how each of the SCF is implemented.
• The Class relationships clause show how each of the interfaces applicable to the SCF, relate to one another.
• The Interface specification clause describes in detail each of the interfaces shown within the Class diagram
part.
• The State Transition Diagrams (STD) show the transition between states in the SCF. The states and transitions
are well-defined; either methods specified in the Interface specification or events occurring in the underlying
networks cause state transitions.
• The Data Definitions clause shows a detailed expansion of each of the data types associated with the methods
within the classes. Note that some data types are used in other methods and classes and are therefore defined
within the Common Data types part ES 202 915-2.
4.1 General requirements on support of methods
An implementation of this API which supports or implements a method described in the present document, shall
support or implement the functionality described for that method, for at least one valid set of values for the parameters
of that method.
Where a method is not supported by an implementation of a Service interface, the exception
P_METHOD_NOT_SUPPORTED shall be returned to any call of that method.
Where a method is not supported by an implementation of an Application interface, a call to that method shall be
possible, and no exception shall be returned.
5 Sequence Diagrams
5.1 Standard Transaction History Retrieval
: :
IpAppAccountManager IpAccountManager
1: retrieveTransactionHistoryReq( )
2: retrieveTransactionHistoryRes( )

1: This message is used by the application to retrieve a transaction history for a certain subscriber's account.
2: This method passes the result of the transaction history retrieval request for a specific user to its callback object.

1: queryBalanceReq( )
2: queryBalanceRes( )
Application is requesting to query the
balance, but there is at least one error in the
parameters that is detected by the
IpAccountManager service.
3: queryBalanceReq( )
Application is requesting to query the
balance, but a network error occurs
4: queryBalanceReq( )
5: queryBalanceErr( )

1: This message is used to query the balance of the account of one or several users.
2: This message passes the result of the balance query for one or several users to its callback object.
3: This scenario shows the case where at least one error in the parameters of the message is detected by the
IpAccountManager object. An exception will be thrown.
4: This scenario shows the case where a network error occurs.
5: This message passes the error of the balance query. No exception is thrown.

: IpAccountManager
1: createNotification( )
2: reportNotification( )
3: getNotification( )
4: changeNotification( )
5: reportNotification( )
6: destroyNotification( )

1: This message is used by the application to request notifications from the IpAccountManager service on certain
criteria for one or several users.
2: This message is used by the IpAccountManager service to report a charging event that meets the criteria set in the
createNotification message.
3: The application can request the current criteria set in the IpAccountManager service by invoking the getNotification
method.
4: This message is used by the application to change the criteria initially created by createNotification, and previously
obtained by getNotification.
5: This message is used by the IpAccountManager service to report a charging event that meets the new criteria.
6: This method is used by the application to disable the charging notifications.

5.4 Network Controlled Notifications
The following sequence diagram shows how an application can receive notifications that have not been created by the
application, but are provisioned from within the network.
AppLogic : IpAppAccountManager : IpAccountManager
1: New()
2: enableNotifications( )
3: reportNotification( )
4: 'forward event'
5: reportNotification( )
6: 'forward event'
7: disableNotifications( )

1: The application is started. The application creates a new IpAppAccountManager to handle callbacks.
2: The enableNotifications method is invoked on the IpAccountManager interface to indicate that the application is
ready to receive notifications that are created in the network. For illustrative purposes we assume notifications of type
"B" are created in the network.
3: When a network created trigger occurs the application is notified on the callback interface.
4: The event is forwarded to the application.
5: When a network created trigger occurs the application is notified on the callback interface.
6: The event is forwarded to the application.
7: When the application does not want to receive notifications created in the network anymore, it invokes
disableNotifications on the IpMultiPartyCallConrolManager interface. From now on the gateway will not send any
notifications to the application that are created in the network. The application will still receive notifications that it has
created himself until the application removes them.
