Hi,
Thanks for all the answers. Still have some doubts.
In TCAP/MAP ASN.1 standard documentation there are:
- Operation packages like
locationUpdatingPackage-v3 OPERATION-PACKAGE ::= {
CONSUMER INVOKES {
updateLocation}
SUPPLIER INVOKES {
forwardCheckSs-Indication} }
which I don't know what are them for, how to use them and in what module
should be defined?
thanks,
Eduardo Figoli
