Parameter

Description

cdrVerToGenerate

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:

Upgrade ScenarioAction and/or Effect

Upgrade from SBC 8.2 (or any old release) to 10.1 

The new control does not take effect.

Upgrade from SBC 8.2 ( or any old release) to 11.1 (or future releases later than 10.1) 

  • Baseline the SBC release and the Billing Systems to SBC 10.1.
  • Once the SBC and the billing system are on SBC 10.1, set the new configuration on the SBC to "10.1" from 0 (disabled).

If the configuration is set to the currently-loaded SBC software version (provided the current SBC loaded version is greater than or equal to 10.1) the CDR formatting is retained according to the selected SBC version across the upgrades.

Upgrade from SBC 10.1 to 11.1 (or future release later than 10.1) 

Set the new configuration to 10.1 from 0 (disabled) prior to the upgrade.

Fresh installation of the SBC (version greater than or equal to 10.1 ) 

  • Set the configuration before the SBC is commissioned to take the calls.
  • Ensure the configuration on the new SBCs are set to 10.1 as a part of the initial config load, before taking any traffic.

Example: you are planning to add more SBCs to a cluster already using the current feature (the SBC version is 11.1 and the CDRs are formatted to 10.1 by having the new config set to 10.1 on the SBCs).

  • enabled

Intermediate Acct Interval

This configures the intermediate accounting interval in seconds.

Intermediate Long Dur Threshold

Specifies the Accounting INTERMEDIATE Records Duration (in hours). Must be 1-24; default is 24. This parameter is only applicable when intermediate records mode is set to telcordia.
