Installing Cost & Billing

Prerequisites

Before installing the solution, make sure the following requirements are met:

• DataMiner 10.6.4 or higher is installed.
• The GQI DxM is installed and running.
• Standard Data Model Registration version 2.1.1 or higher is installed.

Installing the Cost & Billing Solution

To install the solution, after the prerequisites are met, deploy the Cost & Billing package from the Catalog.

This will deploy the following components:

• The Cost & Billing low-code app.
• The DOM model and automation scripts.
• The Cost & Billing Dev Pack, which includes the Standard Data Model and provides typed read/write access to the Cost & Billing DOM instances.

Tip

After the package is installed, you can start configuring value units, contracts, and rate cards.

Installing the MediaOps sample integration

If the sample integration with MediaOps Plan is required, the following components must also be deployed:

• The MediaOps Plan package, version 1.6.0 or higher.

• The Cost & Billing MediaOps Plan Adapter and Calculation, which provides the integration between MediaOps Plan and Cost & Billing. This package includes:

  • MediaOps Adapter: Synchronizes MediaOps data into Cost & Billing by mapping resources and pools to items, jobs to billable events, and workflows to groups.
  • MediaOps Calculation Script: Performs the time-based cost and billing calculations required for the MediaOps integration.

Note

These components are only needed for the MediaOps Plan integration. For an integration with any other external system, a dedicated adapter and calculation script must be created. For details, refer to Integration with other solutions.
