I am using Rammbock (Ver. 0.4.0.2) to decode Diameter messages.
And I seek for help to receive a Credit-Control-Answer (CCA) containing 2 Multiple-Service-Credit-Control (MSCC) AVPs.
MSCC AVP is by itself a grouped AVP containing other AVPs.
(I am using the pattern for AVP definition as shown in https://github.com/robotframework/Rammbock/blob/master/atest/diameter.robot )
My (stripped down) message definitions look like this:
New message CCA Diameter
Start bag avps
Case 1 AVP sessionId Session-id
Case 1 AVP originHost Origin-Host
Case 1 AVP originRealm Origin-Realm
Case 1 AVP authApplicationId Auth-Application-Id
Case 1 AVP reqType CC-Request-Type
Case 1 AVP reqNum CC-Request-Number
Case 0-2 AVP mmsc Multiple-Service-Credit-Control-CCA
Case 1 AVP resultCode Result-Code
End bag
Save template CCA
Multiple-Service-Credit-Control-CCA
Start bag avps
Case 0-1 AVP ratingGroup Rating-Group
Case 0-1 AVP resultCode Result-Code
Case 0-1 AVP grantedServiceUnit Granted-Service-Unit
Case 0-1 AVP finalUnitIndication Final-Unit-Indication
End bag
Client receives CCA
Load template CCA
${msg}= Client receives message
Everything is working fine as long as both received MMSCs are of the same length (including the of sub-AVPs).
But Rammbock starts complaining if the 2 MMSCs contain a different number of sub-AVPs.
If the first MSCC has more sub-AVPs than the second, then I get the error message: Received 'CCA', message too long. Expected 288 but got 356
If I change the order of received MSCCs so that the first has less AVPs, I get the error message: Unable to decode bag value.
I get the same error messages if I use Client receives without validation, so the issue must already occur before the message validation.
I already tried to define the CCA message with a fixed number of MSCCs or in another attempt with 2 individually named MMSCs, but this did not change the error messages in any way.
Doing an alternative test, I have put 2 MSCCs with the same number of sub-AVPs into the CCA, but one of the sub-AVPs being smaller than the other. But independent of the order of these MSCCs I always get the error message: Unable to decode bag value.
As a final test I defined the CCA message with 2 identical AVPs which are not of type grouped; i.e. this AVP does not contain other AVPs. In this case Rammbock is not complaining even if the length of both AVPs is different.
So to me it looks like there is a problem with decoding the grouped AVP. Somehow the first grouped AVP seems to get decoded and by that "predefines" what the next one of the same type has to look like ... if that makes any sense.
Maybe the problem is due to my way of defining the message and AVPs. Then please advise on how to improve the definitions.
Or, if it's actually a problem to handle such messages with Rammbock, I would be very glad if you could provide some help how I could work around this problem.
