Configuring Call Detail Record File Output
To configure call detail record (CDR) file output, modify the following parameters in the Data Dumper
and Engine sections of the XECfgParm.dat file:
Parameter Modification
engine.CDRencodingFormat To specify the call detail record (CDR) file encoding format, enter one
of the following values:
• AnsiCDB—North American (default)
• ItuCDB—European
• CustCDB—Custom
engine.CDRmessageTypes To specify the Call Detail Blocks (CDBs are the accounting records
written at various points in a call) that are generated during a call,
enter one of the following sets of values (each number represents a
point in a call):
• 1010, 1020, 1030, 1040, 1050, 1060, 1070, 1080—These are
considered the “event-based” set of values. Use this event-based
list when you want to receive all CDR records at predefined
points in the call. Although each of these CDBs can be specified
independently, Cisco suggests that you use the event-based set as
a "package" of CDBs for full accounting purposes.
Note The event-based setting is required when operating the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch in conjunction with the
BAMS adjunct.
• 1060, 1110—Use this value if you want end-of-call
summary-type records only.
• 1071—Use this set of values for BAMS measurements.
See the “Detailed CDB Description” section in the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9 Billing Interface Guide for
details on each CDB.
engine.CDRtimeStamp Specifies the time stamp unit in seconds or milliseconds.
To specify the CDR file time-stamp unit, enter one of the following
values:
• S—Seconds.
• M—Milliseconds (default). Use this parameter if your
configuration uses TCAP or if you want the millisecond
granularity in all of your CDR records.
Note The M setting is mandatory when operating the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch in conjunction with the
Cisco BAMS adjunct. The default is M in
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.8(1).
