Setup and Configure Diameter on SailFin
In continuation with my previous blog about Introduction to Diameter Protocol, I am adding more details about the Configuration of Diameter on SailFin 2.0 in this blog. SailFin 2.0 is supporting Diameter protocol as the standard. SailFin 2.0 is supporting Sh, Ro and Rf Interface.
How to Setup Diameter?
Diameter is available as addon for SailFin 2.0. Download the Diameter Patch(142949-1.0.zip) from SunSolve. This patch contains Diameter Installer jar and README file.
% Extract 142949-1.0.zip location of your choice.% Go to 'bin' directory of SailFin Install location on your System.
cd install_location_sailfin/bin
% Stop the domain if it is running.
% ./asadmin install_addon extract_location/142949-1.0/SunDiameter_installer.jar
% Accept the license to Continue.
% Restart the Domain.
These set of commands Setup Diameter on SailFin 2.0.
How to Configure Diameter?
After restarting the Domain user needs to configure Diameter on SailFin. SailFin 2.0 supports set of CLI commands or Admin GUI to configure the same.
% Go to 'bin' directory of SailFin Install location on your System.cd install_location_sailfin/bin
% ./asadmin create-diameter-service
This command adds Diameter Service on SailFin 2.0
% ./asadmin create-diameter-application
This command creates Diameter Application for Diameter Service. It requires some mandatory parameters.
Usage: create-diameter-application --applicationsid applicationsid [--terse=false] [--echo=false] [--interactive=true] [--host localhost]
[--port 4848] [--secure|-s=true] [--user admin_user] [--passwordfile file_name] [--authappid authappid] [--acctappid acctappid]
[--target target(Default server)] vendorid
% ./asadmin create-peer
This command creates Peer for Diameter Service. It requires some mandatory parameters.
Usage: create-peer --appref appref --connectiondefinition connectiondefinition --realm realm [--terse=false] [--echo=false] [--interactive=true]
[--host localhost] [--port 4848] [--secure|-s=true] [--user admin_user] [--passwordfile file_name] [--pool pname] [--jndiname jndiname]
[--peerhost localhost] [--peerport 3868] [--target target(Default server)] id
These set of commands Configure Diameter on SailFin 2.0.
Can I use SailFin 1.0 to Setup Diameter?
You CAN'T use SailFin 1.0 to Setup Diameter as all configuration commands are available as part of SailFin 2.0. User needs to upgrade from SailFin 1.0 to SailFin 2.0. User can follow these instructions to upgrade SailFin.

sorry I don't understand this point: "Diameter is available as addon for SailFin 2.0. Download the Diameter Patch(142949-1.0.zip) from SunSolve. This patch contains Diameter Installer jar and README file."
I've visit http://sunsolve.sun.com and found no diameter patch as you mentioned so could you please give some more information on this. I would like to thanks a lot because I'm working in this field and prepare for my graduate project and of course having no clue on how to build a diameter simple application.
