Accounting - CLI

The SBC version on which the CDRs must remain formatted even after the SBC software is upgraded. The valid values for the configuration option are 0 or 10.1 for the SBC 10.1 release. The default value for the configuration is 0 (disabled). If the option is disabled, the CDRs are formatted according to the CAM version of the software release loaded on the SBC.

Note: The valid values list will change over time to support future releases.

• 0 - (default - indicates this control is disabled)
• 10.1

Examples of how the configuration control works, if the users do not want to update the billing systems with every SBC upgrade:

earlyAttemptState

N/A

Specifies whether or not to generate early ATTEMPT records. An early ATTEMPT record is associated with an early call disconnect, before the request is sent. Options are:

• disabled (default) – Do not generate early ATTEMPT records.
• enabled – Generate early ATTEMPT records.

Note:

The SBC SIP code prevents the SBC processing issues by clearing calls when in congestion, as described below:

• The SBC stores the machine congestion levels 0, 1, and 2.
• If the SBC reaches congestion level 2, the SIP code automatically stops generating the early ATTEMPT CDR.
• When the machine congestion level reduces to 0, the SIP code automatically starts to generate the early ATTEMPT CDR (assuming the generation is enabled).
• A log is generated (per SCM process) that indicates the number of early ATTEMPT CDRs not generated due to congestion.

Enable flag to generate EVENT records for OOD SUBSCRIBE, REFER, NOTIFY, REGISTER, OPTIONS, MESSAGE and PUBLISH event records. CDRs are logged when OPTIONS is relayed to the egress side.

• disabled (default)
• enabled

Specifies whether a trap is generated when an INTERMEDIATE record is generated.

• enabled
• disabled (default)

maxRecordSequenceNum

N/A

• true (default)

populateRemoteGsxInfoState

N/A

secondStageInheritFirstStage

N/A

Enable flag to allow second stage accounting records for two stage calls to inherit fields from the first stage call.

path

forceCurrentServer

Use this request parameter to forcibly set the specified server as the current server.
