The release of Sippy Softswitch will improve the experience of our Customers and Partners. Over the last few months we have collected a number of suggestions by our Customers to improve accessibility, functionality, configurations, and performance. We have worked hard over the past few months to bring to these ideas to fruition in our product. Keep sending us your thoughts on ways we can improve and we will be sure to keep working on them in future releases.
In Sippy Softswitch 5.0 you can expect to see a number of improvements. Major features include Access to an External Daemon that allows for improved accessibility to balance tracking. We have also spent made large strides in improving our XML-API methods to provide our customers greater access to manage their switch. We have also incorporated several reporting, billing, monitoring and configuration improvements to keep track and manage the data that matter. Finally we have incorporated a number of customer driven ideas and suggestions into our product. For more information please continue reading through the release notes below.
We would like to thank you for your continued business and support as we roll out this release.
Major Changes:
[SS-675] - External Balance Daemon
Separating balance tracking into its own discreet service will address performance, accessibility and querying improvements considerations. The external balance daemon improves performance of your switch by updating transactions rates on account, customer, or vendor balance fields directly to the balance daemon. A public thrift interface will also allow clients to use their own balance daemon to access a real time balance. This provides a great benefit for customers with multiple stracker/b2bua instances. This body of work will also be of utmost importance to furthering efforts to improving our clustered solutions. The balance daemon is expected to improve performance of high CPS systems and reduce pressure on database balance tracking fields.
The technical documentation on how to use the External Balance Daemon XML-API can be viewed on our support portal.
[SS-1358] - Test Dial Plan XMLAPI Methods and Other Changes
We have added and extended the ability to query the Test Dial Plan through the XMLAPI methods. This will allow additional troubleshooting tools on top of the sippy platform. The 5.0 Release will include several additional improvements and corrections to this feature noted in the release notes. Additional Test Dial Plan XMLAPI documentation can be found here.
[SS-671] - Routing Group web API methods
A common feature request is better handling of routing groups. Our addRoutingGroup() and updateRoutingGroup() XML-API methods now update every active field in the routing_groups table. This will help switch operators to better manage the rouing groups and create tools and product customizations on top of the Sippy Platform. You can review the routing group documentation here
