Chapter 4 Configuring the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Software
Configuring the Data Dumper
To configure the dmprSink.dat file fields, use the following procedure:
Step 1 Log into a Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch as root if you are not already logged in.
Step 2 Change to the /opt/CiscoMGC/etc directory by entering the following UNIX command:
# cd /opt/CiscoMGC/etc
Step 3 Use a text editor, such as vi, to open and edit the dmprSink.dat file fields you want to change.
Note If you are going to use the Cisco BAMS to collect CDRs, proceed to the “Configuring the Data
Dumper to Support Cisco BAMS” section on page 4-92, for information on how to configure the
data dumper to support Cisco BAMS.
Step 4 Save your changes and exit the text editor.
Step 5 Change to the /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/CONFIG_LIB/new directory by entering the following UNIX
command:
# cd /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/CONFIG_LIB/new
Step 6 Stop and start the standby host.
Step 7 Perform sw-over on the active host.
Table 4-7 Dumper Sink Log File Parameters
Field Name Default Value Description
maxRecs 1000 The maximum number of records a file can contain before it is flushed
or moved to the spool area. If this value is set to 0, the number of
records is unlimited. You can improve system performance by
increasing the value of this record to a larger value, such as 50000.
This results in fewer log record files being generated during periods
of high call volume.
maxSize 0 The maximum size of the file in bytes before it is moved to the spool
area. If this value is set to 0, the size of the file is limited only by the
disk space available.
maxTime 15 The maximum time, in minutes, the file is allowed to remain open,
before it is flushed or moved to the spool area. If there is no data in
the file, it will not be flushed when the time limit expires. If this value
is set to 0, there is no time limit.
Note One or more of the above fields must be set to a value other
than zero (0) for each record in the dmprSink.dat file.
Caution Do not modify or change any of the following log file configuration values.
recordFormat csv The translation of the records being placed in the capture file. Valid
values are csv (comma-separated values) or bin (binary).
logDirectory /var/log The directory where the current dumper logs reside.
logSpoolDir /var/spool The directory to which historic logs are copied after being closed.
