Billing record logging
Persistence
Enable this option to have the service controller save queued (untransmitted) records in the

External billing records server profiles
This list displays all configured billing records server profiles. Billing records are sent to the
servers defined in this list as follows:
A copy of the current billing record is sent to each primary server. By adding multiple
primary servers you create data mirroring and reduce the risk of a record being lost.
If a primary server fails to acknowledge the record, the service controller retries. Once
the retry limit is reached, the record is transmitted to any defined backup servers. Once
all retries are attempted for all backup servers, the record is either skipped, or the entire
process starts again.
For example, if you configure a primary server “Server A” with “Server B” as a backup, with 2
transmission attempts, the following sequence in used to transmit the billing record:
A-[Delay]-A-[Delay]-B-[Delay]-B-[Delay]-A-[Delay]-A-[Delay]-B-[Delay]-B…
