1 CDR Overview

1.1 Basic Concepts

This section describes the basic concepts and terms related to call detail records (CDRs).

CDR
A CDR collects the information about a charging event in a certain format, including the start
time of the call, call duration, and transmitted data volume. The information is used for
charging and settlement.

For a party related to a charging event, the system generates an independent CDR for a partial
or full fee payment. Therefore, more than one CDR may be available for a charging event, for
example, in the case of long call duration or more than one charged party.

CDR Storage
CDRs are stored in the SMC2.0 database. The maximum storage duration is 1 year. CDRs
whose storage duration exceeds 1 year are deleted automatically.

1.2 CDR Processing Mechanism

This section describes the generation and transfer processes of CDRs.

Generating CDRs
The SMC2.0 does not generate CDR files automatically and only stores CDRs to the
corresponding tables in the database when a call is set up, so that the user can query CDRs
from the database.

Querying CDRs
After accessing the CDR page of the SMC2.0 user interface, the user can set the query criteria
(Start date, End date, or Participant label) and click Search. The system then searches the
database and displays CDRs that match the criteria.

Exporting CDRs
CDR record can export on the current page or all CDRs that meet query criteria and save them
in CSV format. user can perform subsequent operations on the CSV files.

1.3 CDR Classification

In the SMC2.0, CDRs are divided into multipoint CDRs and point-to-point CDRs. A
multipoint CDR is a CDR that is generated when a video terminal participates in a conference
using a Multipoint Control Unit (MCU). A point-to-point CDR is a CDR that is generated
when a call between two video terminals is set up using a gatekeeper (GK).

2 General Description of CDR Format

2.1 Format of a CDR File Name

A typical CDR file name is as follows:

{CDR type}{YYYYMMDD}{number}{.csv}

Table 2-1 lists the meaning of each field in the CDR file name.

Table 2-1 Meaning of each field in the CDR file name

Field Description

CDR type pointsCdr: indicates a multipoint CDR.

ptpCdr: indicates a point-to-point CDR.

YYYYMMDD Indicates the date when the CDR file is

generated.

number Indicates a randomly generated number.

.csv Indicates the CDR file name extension.

For example, ptpCdr2012050319334932.csv refers to a point-to-point CDR file, which is

generated at 19:33 on May 3, 2012, with the random number 4932.

A comma-separated values (CSV) file is a common, relatively simple file format that is
widely supported by consumer, business, and scientific applications. It stores tabular data
(numbers and text) in plain-text form, consists of any number of records, separated by line
breaks of some kind; each record consists of fields, separated by some other character or
string, most commonly a literal comma or tab.
