680.0. "MIR/DNS and Voice NM?" by SUBURB::ATKINSP () Thu Jan 31 1991 11:34

    Voice networks are managed by processing call recording data collected in
    large amounts from the switch network and normally stored in flat files
    untill they are charged or rated and then stored in some form of
    relational database.
    
    My question is this, how would this be achieved in DECmcc terms , using
    the MIR or DNS or exported to RDB?

680.1	Ahh, the VAX P/FM AM!	MKNME::DANIELE		`Thu Jan 31 1991 12:33`	28
	Fyi, TSB is a strategic vendor, and has been working on an AM for some time now. I would expect a management interface to allow configuring/starting /stopping the actual collection, to allow viewing individual call records, or stats thereon. Actually munging them ( for instance, pricing them based on usage sensitive trunks, etc. ) would also be a management action. In general, you raise the point that this is an area where a relational db should be a part of the management module's environment. Currently, exporting is something you do to previously collected information, that occurs ( more-or-less ) outside of the DECmcc environment. That is, a command like MCC> price cdr_file foo.dat wants to end up in a db, and you'd like MIR support for it. Currently ( I guess ) you would have Historian FM record your (priced) information MCC> record cdr pricing entry * and later on export it to Rdb via Exporter FM directives. Regards, Mike ( I remember VAX P/FM ... )
680.2	Need info on TSB company	OTOOA::DOIRON	[email protected]	`Mon Oct 28 1991 08:59`	13
	To follow up on this, does anyone have an address and contact name at TSB? I have seen the initials before with reference to the Strategic Vender list, but have no other information. Are there any other applications being written to communicate with PBX's through the Stretegic Vender program? To be able to "include" a Northern Telecom SL1 in DECmcc at even the simplest level would give us that edge to beat the competition on the RFP. Thanks, Richard
680.3	TSB is currently inactive	KAJUN::NELSON		`Mon Oct 28 1991 13:16`	10
	TSB has signed a strategic vendor agreement. They developed a prototype AM that we showed at DECWorld last year. To date, they have not progressed further because they could not make a business case for developing a production AM without an available FM to do call accounting. You can consider them to be an inactive DECmcc strategic vendor. ...kjn
680.4	HOW MANY INACTIVE ??? OR RATHER HOW MANY ACTIVES ? HOW MANY INACTIVE ? OR RATHER HOW MANY ACTIVE SVP ?	BONNET::MALAISE	All you need is laugh!	`Thu Oct 31 1991 04:02`	34
