Release 4.10.0 - August 10, 2023
New in SIM for Things Portal and APIs
Reporting improvements
The statistics menu will only contain the new Qliksense reports. The sub reports will be accessible directly via a new sub menu.
New “SIMs” report in the statistics menu
New aggregated reports for usage done per country, network or rat type
New aggregated reports for the amount of SIMs per country, network or rat type
New aggregated report for usage done per customer for resellers.
New aggregated report for the amount of SIMs per customer for resellers.
Out phasing old reports. The old reports will no longer be updated with new data. The new Qliksense reports also contain all information, so there will be no 2 reports for the same data. As from the next releases (4.11, 4.12) we will start removing the old reports.
The old reports are grouped into the new reports menu.
Network status
New Network Status. Today you can see if an endpoint is connected or not connected. We will add 3 new status for the endpoint.
endpoint throttled state
endpoint blocked state
endpoint attached state (will be delivered after the release)
This new network status will indicate that the device is attached -and hence reachable via SMS- but has no data session.
Notifications
New msisdn, iccid, imsi parameters. They cab be added as parameters to the configuration list related to the notifications, so when users can configure the notifications with these parameters.
Applicable for Notification Types for an Enterprise: Endpoint and SIM Status Change, Subscription of Add-on, De-activation of Add-on, DATA Benefit, SMS Benefit, NB-IOT Benefit, Suspension Notification, Re-Activation Notification, Service Unbarring, Monthly Limit reached, Zero Balance Notification, AddOn Renewal, Data Counter Notification, NB-IOT Counter Notification, LTE-M Counter Notification, Monthly Limit/Balance Update, LTEM Benefit, Addon consumption notification, Addon consumption notification-NB-IOT, Addon consumption notification-LTE-M, Balance Notification, Addon consumption notification-SMS, AddOn Expiry, Service barring Notification
New copy text button that will allow to copy the sample templates that are shown.
Events
The“errorCode” field will be added in the mobility events and will consist of either a two digits (decimal) integer or 4 depending on whether the error message corresponds to a MAP or a Diameter event.
A new field in the usage data stream called locationInfo. This field will show MCC/MNC in 6 digits -e.g. 206001. (for data and SMS)
New UTC timestamps in the usage data stream: “callStartTimeUTC” and “callStopTimeUTC” fields
The callStartTimeUTC is the start time of the data session
The callStopTimeUTC is the time of the last update (when quota was consumed or session ended/closed)
Improvements
In the update balance for prepaid account/endpoints we have new action parameter “set” by which we can set the balance amount.
SIM Transfer Events in GUI - Initiator will show Parent Name instead of ICCID
Naming convention for export (csv/xlsx) files to report Name with timestamp as “YYYYMMDDhhmmss”
For reseller we added a reprocess button for SIM transfer in case
