CDR delivery to TXT- or XML formatted files

DN70473096 Issue 1-2

1 CDR delivery to TXT- or XML formatted files

This functionality is responsible for storing CDRs to the Flexi ISN operation and maintenance (O&M) hard disk drive. When 'text' or 'XML' is selected for the CDR generation mode, the CDR sender process (ggsncs) does not use the Ga interface at all, and because the charging gateways are not used there is no need to configure them.

The only difference between text- and XML-formatted files is the actual format written to the disk file. Otherwise these two formats act exactly in the same way.

CDR files (text and XML CDRS) are synchronised between the active and the standby management blades, so if one of the management blades fails, no CDRs are lost.

1.1 How this mode is intended to be used

The operator is responsible for both fetching the CDR files from the corresponding Flexi ISN’s CDR directory and removing them after the retrieval has succeeded. Failure to remove the old files can result in the file system becoming full.

1.2 Files for text format disk storage

Text format CDR files are stored in the /var/txt_CDRs directory on the Flexi ISN management blade. This directory will contain multiple CDR files with plaintext CDR data in them. Each file can contain at most 10 000 CDRs (this is not configurable). After 10 000 CDRs have been written to the file, the file is closed and a new file is opened. The file can contain G-CDRs and SA-CDRs. When a CDR is generated by the Flexi



DN70473096 Issue 1-2

ISN (independently of the type), it is written to the current file. There are no G-CDR- or SA-CDR-specific files.

If you wish to see the CDRs right after they have been generated (for example, during testing), change the CDR generation mode from text to XML. This closes the CDR file.

When a new file is opened, a file name is reserved for storing the file. However, the file is not directly opened with the real file name; instead, a file is opened in a temporary directory with the name: /var/ha_temp_txt_CDRs/.unfinished_cdr_output

When the file contains the maximum number of CDRs or the ggsncs process is shut down, the file is renamed with its real name. This makes it easier for operators to fetch finished files. The operator can, for example through telnet, use the mget *.log.gz command to fetch the finished files, and be sure that the operator is not accidentally fetching the file currently being written.

The CDR file names are in the format cdr.<timestamp>.log.gz, where <timestamp> is a unix timestamp, that is, the number of seconds since epoch (January 1, 1970). As the name suggests, the log file is compressed with libz when it is written to disk (libz is a library with functions used to compress files). An example of this file is: /var/txt_CDRs/cdr.1138111082.log.gz.

No other files are involved when CDRs are generated to text format.

1.3 Files for XML format disk storage

XML format CDR files are stored to the directory /var/XML_CDRs on the Flexi ISN management blade. This directory contains multiple CDR files with XML format CDR data in them. Each file can contain at most 10 000 CDRs (this is not configurable). After 10 000 CDRs are written to the file, the file is closed and a new file is opened. The file can contain G-CDRs and SA-CDRs. When a CDR is generated by the Flexi ISN (independently of the type), it is written to the current file. There are no G-CDR- or SA-CDR-specific files.

If you wish to see the CDRs right after they have been generated (for example, during testing), change the CDR generation mode from XML to text. This closes the CDR file.

When a new file is opened, a file name is reserved for storing the file. However, the file is not directly opened with the real file name; instead, a file is opened in a temporary directory with the name: /var/ha_temp_XML_CDRs/.unfinished_cdr_output

When the file contains the maximum number of CDRs or the ggsncs process is shut down, the file is renamed with its real name. This makes it easier for operators to fetch finished files. The operator can, for example through telnet, use the mget *.log.gz command to fetch the finished files, and be sure that the operator is not accidentally fetching the file currently being written.

The CDR filenames are in the format cdr.<timestamp>.log.gz, where <timestamp> is a unix timestamp, that is, the number of seconds since epoch (January 1, 1970). As the name suggests, the log file is compressed with libz when it is written to disk. An example of this file is: /var/XML_CDRs/cdr.1138111082.log.gz.

In addition to the CDR XML files, the file /opt/ggsn/etc/cdr.dtd is copied to the /var/XML_CDRs directory when the ggsncs process is restarted or the XML CDR storage is first configured. This DTD file is needed to parse the XML format of the CDRs.

1.4 Accessing file storage

FTP pull is a supported transfer method to fetch CDR files from the Flexi ISN. To be able to log in as an FTP user, perform the following instructions.

1. Create an FTP user and give a password that fulfils the requirements for a new user.

For detailed instructions, see Chapter Adding users in Security and Access Configuration in Voyager for IPSO 3.9.2NET.

2. Enable FTP.

For detailed instructions, see Chapter Enabling network access in Security and Access Configuration in Voyager for IPSO 3.9.2NET.

3. Log in with the user name and password you just created.

Use something other than FTP (for example SSH/Voyager/console).

4. Change the password as requested by the Flexi ISN.

5. Now you can log in using FTP.



DN70473096 Issue 1-2

1.5 Changes to the TEXT/XML interface from previous releases

• Files are compressed automatically

To save disk space, the files are automatically compressed when written to disk using libz. This increases CPU usage of the ggsncs process to around 30% during busy CDR generation times, but increases the number of CDRs stored: roughly the compression ratio for a typical file is from 18MB to 250kb.

• New file naming

Earlier Flexi ISN/GGSN versions used static file names with the format cdr.<n>.log, where n was a number from 1 to 20. When the last file was written, the first file was written over, which caused CDR loss for some operators. Since Flexi ISN Release 3.0, the file naming scheme does not overwrite any of these files, but can cause the file system to fill up if the operator does not remove the old files properly.

In addition, the currently written file is actually stored first with the file name .unfinished_cdr_output, making it a hidden file for operators. Only after the file has been closed and is ready will it use the real file name, and the operator may safely fetch and remove it.

• Interface initialisation

The interface itself can now be reliably opened and closed as many times as desired.

The Location information field is composed of the characters CI or SAI followed by four groups of numbers separated by a space. The meaning of the four groups of numbers is the following (starting from the group closest to the characters): MNC, MCC, LAC, and CI or SAI (depending on the value of the characters).
