Consume Summa API (v.0.1.7)

Overview

The node "Summa" integrates with the Summa API to perform various operations related to telecommunications data management. Specifically, for the HLR Subscription resource and the Set PDP Address Assignation operation, it allows users to assign or update the Packet Data Protocol (PDP) address information for a subscriber identified by their IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity). This is useful in scenarios where network operators need to configure or modify the data session parameters of mobile subscribers, such as setting up or changing IP addresses used for data connections.

Practical examples include:

  • Updating the PDP address template and specific IP address assigned to a subscriber.
  • Managing extended PDP address assignments for advanced network configurations.
  • Automating subscriber profile updates in bulk via workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Imsi The International Mobile Subscriber Identity, uniquely identifying the subscriber.
Pdp Template The template name or identifier defining the PDP context configuration to apply.
Pdp Address The actual PDP address (e.g., IP address) to assign to the subscriber's data session.
Ext Pd P Address An extended PDP address parameter, possibly for additional addressing or routing info.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the Set PDP Address Assignation operation. This typically includes confirmation of the updated subscriber PDP settings or any relevant response from the Summa API indicating success or failure. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally contains status indicators and updated subscription details.

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Summa API service.
  • Needs an API authentication credential configured in n8n (referred generically as an API key credential).
  • Uses internal helper classes for HTTP requests, state management, and operation execution.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond the Summa API and its credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Invalid or missing IMSI value will cause the operation to fail.
    • Incorrect PDP template names or addresses may lead to API errors.
    • Authentication failures if the API credential is not properly set or expired.
  • Error messages:
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and valid.
    • Validation errors: Check that all required properties (IMSI, PDP Template, PDP Address, Ext PDP Address) are provided and correctly formatted.
    • Network or API errors: Ensure the Summa API endpoint is reachable and operational.
