 Dialogic Inc. Proprietary Page 7

BAF Record 2.

BAF (Bellcore AMA Format) is a standard developed by Telecordia/Bellcore. It is the most commonly

used billing standard in USA. This section outlines the BAF call types and structure codes generated by

the ControlSwitch. It is intended for a reader with a clear understanding of BAF concepts. Please refer to

GR1100- Core for description of the BAF related terminologies.

2.2 BAF Record Files

File Creation 2.2.1

The BAF CDR file is contiguously populated. AMA CDRs are not split in multiple files. The CDR Manager

creates a new file and fills it up with BAF CDRs and closes at a configurable interval. The closed file only

contains completed CDRs. At the completion of 1-minute, the file is closed after the last BAF CDRs is

fully written.

ControlSwitch (v.5.10.2) CDR Guide

 Dialogic Inc. Proprietary Page 9

File Naming

2.2.2

Files are named using a period “.” to delimit the various fields:

[source, 6 digits].[destination, 6 digits].[File Sequence Number, 6 digits].[File Type, 2 digits].[File

Sequence Number Restart Indicator, 1 digit]

The following table shows the File Name Field Coding Sizes and their Acceptable Values.

Field

Size (digits)

Encoding and explanation

Source

01yyyy, where yyyy uniquely identifies the CDR generator

starting from 0001

Destination

02yyyy, where yyyy uniquely identifies the Receiving system

File Sequence Number

A monotonically increasing number starting from 1 to

999,999 which then restarts at1

File Type

File Sequence Restart

Indicator

If GS loses track of File Sequence and re-creates a sequence

(the requirement for re-creation below) then this field is

populated to 1, the default when re-creation is not done is 0

Long Duration Call 2.2.3

Following the specification contained in GR-508-CORE, the CDR Manager starts generating BAF CDRs for

long duration calls at the scheduled record generation time of 00:00:00 (or 12 AM) each day. Starting

from 12 AM, CDR Manager will go over each live call, and generate a CDR for the call according to the

specification in GR-508-CORE. If a call has lasted over 24 hours and no CDR was generated before the

scheduled record generation time, then the first CDR will be generated. After the first CDR, a

continuation CDR will be generated after each 24-hour period while the call is still alive, and after the

call is released.

File Storage 2.2.4

When the CDR Manager loses track of File sequence, it re-creates the next file sequence based the

filename of saved CDR files in its system, and generates the next file sequence and marks the File

Sequence Restart Indicator as 1. The CDR files are saved in a directory called Primary. Once a CDR file is

successfully sent to billing (via TFTP) it is moved into the Secondary directory. The operator should

regularly remove files from the secondary directory as disk space becomes full.

File Transmission 2.2.5

CDR Manager is capable of transmitting BAF files to a billing system through TFTP. It initiates transfer of

file to the remote system 1 minute after it is created, and places the transferred file into the Secondary

directory after it has successfully transferred that file to billing. The files are sent in the same sequence

as they are generated.

ControlSwitch (v.5.10.2) CDR Guide

 Dialogic Inc. Proprietary Page 10

iCDR Specifications 3.

3.1 File Format

ControlSwitch uses a proprietary format to store call data. This format is called iCDR. The details about

iCDR record format are described in section 3.4.

An iCDR file contains a set of iCDR records. Each individual CDR is then delimited with an end of line

character to allow the downstream billing system to parse the records.

3.2 File Naming Convention

iCDR files are created with a 1-minute granularity (meaning one new file is made for every chronological

minute). The iCDR files are named as follows:

icdr.version_number.zone_id.cdr_id.timestamp.sequence.new_sequence_indicator.

For ControlSwitch 5.10.2, the version_number portion is “5_10_2A”. The zone_id portion contains the id

of the zone the CDRE is in. A zone is a group of ControlSwitch elements with only one EMS element in

the group, and that EMS element controls all the other elements in the group. The cdr_id portion

contains the id of the CDRE. The timestamp portion has the format <yyyymmddhhmm> that contains

four-digit year value, and two-digit month, day, hour and minutes. The sequence portion is a six-digit

sequence number for iCDR files. The last portion new_sequence_indicator is either zero or one. If

new_sequence_indicator is zero, it means that the sequence portion should be one plus the sequence of

the previous iCDR file, or 000001 if the sequence of the previous iCDR file is 999999. If

new_sequence_indicator is one, it indicates the start of a new sequence and the sequence should be

000001.

The file currently being written to by the CDR Manager will have a “.curr” extension to differentiate it

from older, closed files.

3.3 File Transfer and Storage

The iCDR files are stored in a directory path located in the SUN computer running the CDR Element. The

directory path is:

/cdr/ICDR/primary

The file with iCDR(s) is contiguously populated. An iCDR(s) is not split into multiple files. The CDR

Manager creates a new file and fills it up with iCDRs and closes it every minute, by default. At the

completion of the 1-minute interval, the file is closed after the last iCDR is fully written. The maximum

amount of time the CDR Manager keeps an iCDR file open is configurable.

It is assumed that billing system will periodically poll the iCDR storage location and get iCDR files when

available, through FTP. When the billing system has completed the transfer of closed iCDR files, it can

either delete them or move them to the directory /cdr/ICDR/secondary. We recommend customer’s

backup the iCDR files in /cdr/ICDR/secondary and then delete them periodically in order to prevent the

disks from being filled up. CDR Element will keep creating new iCDR files in /cdr/ICDR/primary directory,

and NOT move or remove any iCDR files in either /cdr/ICDR/primary or /cdr/ICDR/secondary directories.

It is up to the user to make sure there is ALWAYS sufficient free disk space on the disk where directory

/cdr/ICDR is located.

ControlSwitch (v.5.10.2) CDR Guide

 Dialogic Inc. Proprietary Page 11

iCDR Transfer to Mediation/Billing Platforms

3.3.1

The billing/Mediation platforms need to pull the iCDR files from the CDR Element platform. The

following is a sample implementation of such iCDR transfer application using File Transfer Protocol

utility (FTP).

1. Open an FTP session with the computer that contains iCDR files using IP address, username and

password.

2. Get a list of files at directory: /cdr/ICDR/primary.

3. Loop through the list of files. For each file in the list, if the file name ends with “.curr”, ignore it.

Otherwise first use GET command to retrieve the file, and then use MOVE command to move the

file to directory: /cdr/ICDR/secondary.

4. Repeat the process by going back to step 2.

3.4 Record Format

iCDR is a generic record that is designed to support billing for all the call types/services supported by the

ControlSwitch and contains all the billing related data collected by the EC(s). iCDR fields are described in

detail iCDR Field Description.

iCDR text string contains only the data values of the fields. Fields are separated by semi-colon (;). The

data values are presented in an ascending order based on their field ids (Table 2)

The type of data collected varies depending on the signaling protocols used in a given call. For example,

incoming carrier related information such as Carrier Identification Code, Carrier Selection Indicator are

only available for FGD or Carrier Origination Calls. Consequently, iCDR for any specific call will have

empty values for some fields. Within an iCDR, if a given field’s data value is empty or null, then only the

field separator (semi-colon) is inserted.

Certain field may contain a group of data structured in a hierarchy. Such fields are called complex fields

and they are presented in XML format. There is a detailed description in this document for each

complex field.

For many iCDR fields, how to populate them can be controlled through CDRE Application Parameters. A

complete description of these Application Parameters is contained in the EC and CDRE Parameters.
