In certain installations, data must be sent to different collector servers according to their type. For
instance, in the pre-paid environment, some types of data must be sent to the pre-paid collector to get a
new quota, while others should be sent to the mediation system. In this case, the data types are divided
into up to four groups, and each group, or category, is assigned to a particular destination or destinations.
The categories are defined by the application running on the SCE platform.
The system supports up to four categories. Therefore, the destination must be configured regarding each
category in use. Each destination may be assigned to more than one category and may be assigned the
same or different priorities for each category.
It is also possible to remove a category from a destination, leaving only the desired category. If all
categories are removed, the destination itself is deleted.
By default, the categories are referred to as Category 1 through Category 4. However, the user may define
meaningful names for the categories. This generally reduces confusion and prevents errors.
