Starting and stopping measurement:
The measurement is started/stopped via the AMO DEFTM.
Additional records for the call traffic measurement are only created
when the measurement has been started, i.e. when the tag is set. In all
other cases, only normal "charging relevant" tickets are created.
Filter function on the basis of the call traffic measurement table:
A list of the objects to be measured can be defined ("ALL" is likewise
possible, and results in the entire traffic being recorded).
When call traffic measurement is started, only records with a relationship
to objects in the call traffic measurement table are generated. In this
check, the fields for calling party (i.e. FTBL-field CALLIPTY), connected
party (or called party if connected party is not available) (DESTPTY
field in FTBL), TRUNK number and PARTNER TRUNK number are compared with
the entries in the call traffic measurement table. If at least one of
these objects exists in the call traffic measurement table, the record
is labelled as "relevant for call traffic measurement" (in the "Record
Type" field).
A distinction is made between the following cases:
- Normal stations (likewise secretary and executive) are checked against
the station list.
- Attendant console and night service are checked against the AC list.
Furthermore, the attendant console group is checked against the entries
in the attendant console group table.
- Trunk and partner trunk are compared with the trunk object list.
Furthermore, the trunk group and partner trunk group are compared with
the entries in the trunk group list.
- If a connection to a hunt group is involved, the DESTPTY is also
compared with the hunt group object list. Furthermore, the head number
is determined and likewise compared.
Record type:
Every ticket contains a field with information on whether this record
is relevant for charging and / or for traffic measurement.
SWU / ADP load:
If the SWU / ADP load (average processor load of at least 10 seconds)
is to be measured, a load ticket is generated every 10 seconds. In this
case, the record type is likewise set to "traffic measurement relevant".
Activities of the attendant console:
If
Queuing time for hunting groups:
The time a connection waits - in the queue of a hunting group - is
measured.
