Operator Call Type in Field 1


Call Detail Block File Fields


Revised: January 5, 2009, OL-15338-05

The Cisco BTS 10200 system stores the raw call detail blocks (CDBs) in a flat file ASCII-based format on the persistent store associated with the Bulk Data Management System (BDMS). The BTS 10200 stores a minimum of 10 megabytes of billing records in a circular file implementation. This data is subsequently sent to the specified remote accounting office or billing server or mediation device by the File Transfer Protocol (FTP).

This chapter illustrates the format of each field in a Call Detail Block (CDB), the order in which the field occurs, the possible values for the individual fields, and the meaning of the data within the field where applicable. The delimiters used to separate fields within a record or records within a file can be any one of the following:

semi-colon ";"

vertical bar "|"

linefeed

comma ","

caret "^".


Note The same character (value) cannot be used as both a field delimiter and a record delimiter. Different delimiters must be used to separate fields within a record and records within a file.


The CDB field and record separators are defined in the platform.cfg file that is read at initialization time. The platform.cfg file associated with the BDMS platform must be updated for changes to take effect; however, the file cannot be changed without a system restart. Both active and standby BDMS platforms must be restarted for changes in delimiters to be picked up.

The ProcessParameter block to update is ProcName=BMG. The parameter to update is Args. To change the field delimiter you must update the -FD option. To change the record delimiter you must update the -RD option. Both of the BDMS computing platforms must be restarted to pick up this change of delimiters.


Caution Once the delimiters are changed and the BDMSs are restarted, any billing files created with different delimiters are inaccessible by the billing query command. An example of an actual call detail block FTP file containing one CDB is shown in Chapter 2, "Example of a Call Detail Block File."
The steps to follow are

1. Stop the platform on the EMS.
2. Change the platform.cfg on the EMS.
3. Flush the old billing records from the EMS before starting the platform.
4. Start the platform. All new billing records now use the new format.

Table 4-1 provides information about the fields in the output files transmitted from the Element Management System (EMS) on the BTS 10200.

Destination: CallType or derived based on the dialing pattern—for example: 0-, 00 calls OR SpecialCallType:: CallType or LSA table for determining LOCAL or LATA table used for determining TOLL and INTERLATA of CallType = NATIONAL in Destination table.

The nature of the call, which indicates the type of accounting processing to apply to it. Call Type NULL is used for any calls that do not progress to the point where a lookup in the Destination table occurs, or if routing is not needed—as in cases of feature activation or deactivation.

In Release 6.0.x, there is a new parameter, CALLTYPE-OPER-CALL-CDR in the ca-config table. For additional information, see "Operator Call Type in Field 1" section.

In Release 5.0, the system reports the data in Field 1 (Call Type) of the call detail block (CDB) when the user dials a call to the operator (0 or 00) or a call involving an operator (0+ or 01+). For additional information on the data in Field 1, see "Release 5.0.x Behavior" section.

19

Call Elapsed Time

String

12-17

(dddd):hh:mm:ss.mmm

Calculated value.

The duration that the voice path was established. The days (ddddd) portion of this field is optional and variable in length depending on the number of days the calls has been connected. If this field is NULL, then no data was captured for this record.

RecordGenTime is an optional parameter. It gives the time of day at which the first time BLG should check to see whether any long-during billing records need to be generated. If it is not specified, it defaults to midnight.

LongDurationAllowance is an optional parameter. It gives the length of time, in minutes, that a call must have been in the answered state at the time when records are generated, in order for a long -duration record to be generated for it. It is also the interval of record generated time. After RecordGenTime generates billing records for the first time, every LongDurationAllowance minutes interval BLG checks to see whether any long-during billing records need to be generated. If it is not specified, it defaults to 1,440 minutes (24 hours).
For example, if RecordGenTime is 12:00:00, LongDurationAllowance is 60.
At 12:00:00, BLG checks the long-duration call for the first time. It then checks the call every 60 minutes thereafter.

20

Interconnect Elapsed Time

String

12-17

(dddd):hh:mm:ss.mmm

Calculated value.

The duration that bandwidth was established with another carrier. The days (ddddd) portion of this field is optional and variable in length depending on the number of days the calls has been connected. If this field contains NULL, then no data was captured for this record.

21

Originating QOS Time

Numeric

 

128-bit unsigned value in total 64-bit seconds and 64-bit milliseconds in GMT epoch time format. The number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970 0:00:000h.

If the value is NULL, the timestamp is to be ignored.

Dynamic run time data from the system clock.

Receipt of the MGCP DLCX ACK message. The time the originating side quality of service measurements were collected. This information is collected on a best effort basis and will not be present if the QoS collection timeout is exceeded. If this field contains NULL, then the associated Originating QOS parameters are to be ignored.

22

Terminating QOS Time

Numeric

 

128-bit unsigned value in total 64-bit seconds and 64-bit milliseconds in GMT epoch time format. The number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970 0:00:000h.

If the value is NULL, the timestamp is to be ignored.

Dynamic run time data from the system clock.

Receipt of the MGCP DLCX ACK message. The time the terminating side quality of service measurements were collected. This information is collected on a best effort basis and will not be present if the QoS collection timeout is exceeded. If this field contains NULL, then the associated Terminating QOS parameters are to be ignored.

23

Originating Number

String

64

DIGITS

Subscriber::DN1, ISDN SETUP, SS7 IAM, or SIP INVITE, for example.

This field contains the calling party number after it has gone through the complete translation process on the Cisco BTS 10200 including any possible overriding. If the originator of a SIP field contains the tel-number in the From field between the ":" and the "@" characters if the PAI flag is not set. If the PAI flag is set, this field contains the tel-num from the P-Asserted-Identity field between the ":" and the "@" characters.

If this field contains NULL, then no data was captured for this field.

24

Terminating Number

String

64

DIGITS

Subscriber::DN1, ISDN SETUP, SS7 IAM, or SIP INVITE, for example.

The directory number of the terminating party. For outbound LNP calls, this field contains the dialed DN. For calls inbound to the Cisco BTS 10200, this field will contain DN of the terminating subscriber. If this field contains NULL, then no data is captured for this record.

25

Charge Number

String

64

DIGITS

Subscriber:: BillingDn or FCP Message.

Directory number of the billable party. For Mexican ISUP scenarios this field is populated with the tarrification number. If this field contains NULL, then no data was captured for this record.

26

Location Routing Number

String

64

DIGITS

LNP Query or SS7 IAM.

The location routing number of the switch where the directory number is ported to.

The Cisco BTS 10200 does an LNP query on outbound calls if the called number is addressed in the Ported Office Code table. This field is then populated with the LRN obtained from doing the LNP query as long as the returned LRN is not equal to the LRN of the reporting Cisco BTS 10200.

For calls that are inbound to the Cisco BTS 10200, if the called number is addressed by the Ported Office Code table and the LNP-TRIGGER flag is set (meaning the reporting Cisco BTS 10200 is the recipient switch), then a query to the DN2SUBSCRIBER table determines if an LNP query is performed or not.

For inbound calls that are addressed by the Ported Office Code table but the Cisco BTS 10200 is not the recipient switch, then the service-id assigned to the incoming trunk group determines whether an LNP query is launched or not. In addition, for inbound SS7calls, the M-bit in the IAM is checked to see if an LNP query has already been performed—if not—then the Ported Office Code table is queried before conducting a LNP dip.

This field is populated with the received LRN, if one is presented for inbound calls to the reporting Cisco BTS 10200 for the called numbers that are homed on the Cisco BTS 10200.

The Ported Office Code table is typically populated by LERG updates received by the service provider.

26 (continued)

Location Routing Number

String

64

DIGITS

LNP Query or SS7 IAM.

If an LRN is returned from an LNP query, it is used in routing the call, otherwise the dialed digits are used to route the call.

The Cisco BTS 10200 only makes one attempt per call to query the LNP database. If the query fails, the call is routed as if the dialed number is not ported.

If this field is NULL, then no data was captured for this record.

27

Dialed Digits

String

64

DIGITS

This field contains the actual digits dialed by the originator of the call. This field only contains digits dialed in the first stage of the call if the person dialing is a subscriber who is homed on the BTS 10200.

MGCP NTFY, SS7 IAM, ISDN SETUP, SIP INVITE or H.323 SETUP, for example.

This field is intended for basic troubleshooting purposes only. If the call is terminating to this Cisco BTS 10200 from a subscriber homed elsewhere, then this field will contain the information in the ieCldPartyNum field. In this case, the digits stored may have been manipulated after the originator dialed.

Due to the fact that this field only contains the 1st stage digits, the collection of digits will cease once the media gateway on the originating side of the call sends the initial digits, which is digit map based in the gateway. Once a match to the digit map is accomplished, the digits are packaged up and sent to the Cisco BTS 10200 in the appropriate NCS/MGCP message which triggers the Signaling Start event within the Cisco BTS 10200 for that call.

If this field is NULL, then no data was captured for this record.

28

Forwarding Number

String

64

DIGITS

SS7 IAM or original dialed number.

Directory number that is forwarding the call to another subscriber's DN. This field is populated only in the call forwarding instance record leg, not in the normal call leg that terminated to the forwarding number. If this field is NULL, then no data was captured for this record.
