Chapter 1. Admin Guide

1.1. Overview

   This module implements generic string translations based on
   matching and replacement rules. It can be used to manipulate
   R-URI or a PV and to translated to a new format/value.

1.2. How it works

   At startup, the module will load all transformation rules from
   one or more dialplan-compatible tables. The data of each table
   will be stored in a partition which is defined by the "db_url"
   and "table_name" parameters. Every table row will be stored in
   memory as a translation rule. Each rule will describe how the
   matching should be made, how the input value should be modified
   and which attributes should be set for the matching
   transformation.

   A dialplan rule can be of two types:
     * "String matching" rule - performs a string equality test
       against the input string. The case of the characters can be
       ignored by enabling bit 1 of the rule's "match_flags"
       bitmask column (i.e. set the column value to 1 or 0, for
       insensitive or sensitive)
     * "Regex matching" rule - uses Perl Compatible Regular
       Expressions, and will attempt to match the rule's
       expression against an input string. The regex maching can
       be done in a caseless manner by enabling bit 1 of the
       rule's "match_flags" bitmask column (i.e. set the column
       value to 1 or 0, for insensitive or sensitive)

   The module provides the dp_translate() script function, which
   expects an input string value that will be matched, at worst,
   against all rules of a partition.

   Internally, the module groups a partition's rules into two
   sets, "string" and "regex". The matching logic will attempt to
   find the first match within each of these two sets of rules.
   Each set will be iterated in ascending order of priority. If an
   input string happens to match a rule in each of the two sets,
   the rule with the smallest priority will be chosen.
   Furthermore, should these two matching rules also have equal
   priorities, the one with the smallest "id" field (the unique
   key) will be chosen.

   Once a single rule is decided upon, the defined transformation
   (if any) is applied and the result is returned as output value.
   Also, if any string attribute is associated to the rule, this
   will be returned to the script along with the output value.

1.3. Usage cases

   The module can be used to implement dialplans - to do auto
   completion of the dialed numbers (e.g. national to
   international), to convert generic numbers to specific numbers
   (e.g. for emergency numbers).

   Also the module can be used for detecting ranges or sets of
   numbers mapped on a service/case - the "attributes" string
   column can be used here to store extra information about the
   service/case.

   Non-SIP string translation can also be implemented - like
   converting country names from all possible formats to a
   canonical format: (UK, England, United Kingdom) -> GB.

   Any other string-based translation or detection for whatever
   other purposes.

1.4. Database structure and usage

   Depending what kind of operation (translation, matching, etc)
   you want to do with the module, you need to populate the
   appropriate DB records.

   The definition of the tables used by the dialplan module can be
   found at
   http://www.opensips.org/html/docs/db/db-schema-devel.html#AEN15
   01

1.4.1. What to place in table

1.4.1.1. String translation (regexp detection, subst translation)

   Recognize a number block in all forms (international, national)
   and convert it to a canonical format (E.164)
     * match_op = 1 (regexp)
     * match_exp = "^(0040|\+40|0|40)21[0-9]+" ; regular
       expression that will be used to match with this rule (if
       the rule should be applied for the input string)
     * match_flags = 0 (0 - case sensitive, 1 - case insensitive
       matching)
     * subst_exp = "^(0040|\+40|0|40)(.+)" ; regular expression
       used to do the transformation (first part of the subst
       operation)
     * repl_exp = "40\2" ; second part of the subst (output) -
       linked to the subst_exp field; when both defined, they work
       as a subst()

1.4.1.2. String translation (regexp detection, replacement)

   Recognize the name of a country (multiple languages) and
   convert it to a single, fixed value
     * match_op = 1 (regexp)
     * match_exp = "^((Germany)|(Germania)|(Deutschland)|(DE))" ;
       regular expression that will be used to match with this
       rule (if the rule should be applied for the input string)
     * match_flags = 0 (0 - case sensitive, 1 - case insensitive
       matching)
     * subst_exp = NULL ; when translation is actually a
       replacement, this field must be NULL.
     * repl_exp = "DE" ; static string to replace the input -
       whenever this rule will match, it will return this string
       as output.

1.4.1.3. Number detection (regexp detection, no replacement)

   Recognize a block of numbers as belong to a single service and
   signalize this via an attribute.
     * match_op = 1 (regexp)
     * match_exp = "^021456[0-9]{5}" ; regular expression that
       will be used to match with this rule (if the rule should be
       applied for the input string)
     * match_flags = 0 (0 - case sensitive, 1 - case insensitive
       matching)
     * subst_exp = NULL ; no translation
     * repl_exp = NULL ; no translation
     * attrs = "serviceX" ; whatever string you will get into
       OpenSIPS script and it will provide you more information
       (totally custom)

1.4.1.4. String conversion (equal detection, replacement)

   Recognize a fixed string/number and replace it with something
   fixed.
     * match_op = 0 (equal)
     * match_exp = "SIP server" ; string to be matched
     * match_flags = 0 (0 - case sensitive, 1 - case insensitive
       matching)
     * subst_exp = NULL ; no subst translation
     * repl_exp = "OpenSIPS" ; output string

1.6. Exported Parameters

1.6.1. partition (string)

   This can be used to define new db_url and table_name parameters
   from which to load the translation rules. These parameters will
   be held in partitions. The db_url parameter is mandatory. The
   order of the parameters does not matter. Multiple partitions
   can be defined and you can also define the default partition
   here. The name of this partition is "default". In order to be
   able to use a table from a partition, its name must be found in
   the "version" table belonging to the database defined in the
   partition's db_url.

   Example 1.1.  Set partition parameter
...
modparam("dialplan", "partition",
  "part2:table_name=dialplan;db_url=mysql://user:pw@localhost/db;")

1.6.2. db_url (string)

   The translation rules will be loaded using this database
   url.This will be the db_url parameter value for the default
   partition.

   NOTE: if you intend to use the default partition you have to
   explicity set this default db_url, otherwise OpenSIPS will not
   start (he value of global default db_url is not inherited here!

1.6.3. table_name (string)

   The table's name from which to load the translation rules.This
   will be the table_name parameter value for the default
   partition. The db_url must be defined for the default partition
   in order to be able to define it's table name.

   Default value is “dialplan”.

...
modparam("dialplan", "match_exp_col", "column_name")
...

1.6.8. match_flags_col (string)

   The column name to store various matching flags. Currently 0 -
   case sensitive matching, 1 - case insensitive matching.

1.7. Exported Functions

1.7.1.  dp_translate( id, input, [out_var], [attrs_var], [partition])

   Will try to translate the src string into dest string according
   to the translation rules with dialplan ID equal to id.

   Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
     * id (int) - the dialplan id to be used for matching rules
     * input (string) - input string to be used for rule matching
       and for computing the output string.
     * out_var (var, optional) - variable to be populated/written
       with the output string (if provided by the translation
       rule).
     * attrs_var (var, optional) - variable to be
       populated/written with the atribute string, if provided by
       the translation rule.
     * partition (string, optional) - the name of the partition
       (set of data) to be used for locating the DP ID.

   This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, FAILURE_ROUTE,
   LOCAL_ROUTE, BRANCH_ROUTE, STARTUP_ROUTE, TIMER_ROUTE and
   EVENT_ROUTE.

   Example 1.15. dp_translate usage
...
dp_translate(240, $ru, $var(out));
xlog("translated into '$var(out)' \n");
...

   Example 1.16. dp_translate usage
...
$avp(src) = $ruri.user;
dp_translate($var(x), $avp(src), $var(y), $var(attrs));
xlog("translated to var $var(y) with attributes: '$var(attrs)'\n");
...

   Example 1.17. dp_translate usage
...
$var(id) = 10;
dp_translate($var(id), $avp(in), , $avp(attrs), "example_partition");
xlog("matched with attributes '$avp(attrs) against example_partition'\n"
);
...

   Example 1.18. dp_translate usage
...
dp_translate( 10, $var(in), , , $var(part));
xlog("'$var(in)' matched against partition '$var(part)'\n")
...
