Output on demand includes carrying out the dialog for the creation
of the output orders, the selection of the stored CDR records, and the
provision of the selected CDR records for output. There are 8 dialog
fields provided for the output; these can be used for both CDRS/CDRC
and the call charge computer.
Unlike immediate output, output on demand allows the user to define
the time of the call data output.
The user creates the output order by dialog. The following types or
orders are possible:
- One-time orders (simple/multiple single order)
- With a simple single order, there is exactly one output at the time
the user defines.
- With multiple single orders, the user can specify a maximum of 3
different output times.
Periodic orders (simple/multiple standing orders)
- With a simple standing order, the user issues dialog commands to specify
the time of the first output and the period for the repeated outputs.
- For multiple standing orders, the user specifies a maximum of three
different output times and exactly one period. Each of the maximum of
3 orders is then repeated periodically. Hours, days, or months are allowed
as periods (minimum value of the period is 1 hour, maximum value is 12
months).
Additional parameters when creating an output order - along with the output
time and period - are as follows:
- CDR file
- File beginning and end
- Output device
- Format table (AMO FTBL)
- Tariff table (AMO TTBL)
- Identifier indicating whether the data records should be deleted
after successful output.
- Identifier indicating whether a forced output of the CDR file is
required. If there is a file overflow, a forced output can be arranged.
However, the file is only printed if the "forced order" code was set
in one of the dialog fields during configuration. If no "forced order"
code was set, the forced order is ignored (AMO GEZAB).
The parameters of the completely created dialog commands are saved in
a dialog field and transmitted to the scheduled batch job processing
function.
In addition to creating an output order, the CDRC dialog offers the
following functions:
- Cancel output order (scheduled batch job)
- Cancel outputs
- Output (log) dialog fields
