This chapter provides reference information for Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management (BRM) Pipeline Manager function modules.
The FCT_Account module adds customer data to an EDR. See "Adding Customer Balance Impact Data to EDRs" in BRM Setting Up Pricing and Rating.
It also does the following:
Flags incoming CDRs to be suspended when the account is being rerated by pin_rerate. See "About comprehensive rerating using pin_rerate" in BRM Setting Up Pricing and Rating.
For exclusion rules for usage discounts, retrieves plan list information from the DAT_AccountBatch module and adds this information to the PLAN_LIST block in the CustomerData block in the EDR. The plan list includes all plans for the subscription service, including plans owned by any member services in the subscription group. See "About Exclusion Rules for Usage Discounts".
For Balance Monitoring, retrieves the balance monitor information for an event owner from the DAT_AccountBatch module and fills the CustomerData block in the EDR with the monitor list. See "About Balance Monitoring and Pipeline Rating" in BRM Managing Accounts Receivable.
Requires a connection to the DAT_AccountBatch module.
This module must run before the zoning and rating modules.
For more information, see "Function Module Dependencies".

The FCT_Account modules uses the following database tables:
The FCT_Account and FCT_AccountRouter modules use the data in the IFW_ALIAS_MAP table to link an internal service code the EDR container field used for identifying an account. See "Mapping Events and Services" in BRM Setting Up Pricing and Rating.
The FCT_Account and FCT_AccountRouter module use the data in the IFW_EDRC_DESC table to look up the alias mapping data. This table contains all valid EDR container fields for different format descriptions.
The FCT_Account module uses the data in the IFW_EDRC_FIELD table to look up the alias mapping data. This table contains all valid EDR container fields for different format descriptions.
The FCT_Account and FCT_AccountRouter use the data in the IFW_PIPELINE table to look up the alias mapping data. The IFW_PIPELINE database table defines the EDR formats that can be used for each pipeline.
For information about the fields in database tables, see the documentation in Pipeline_Home/database. Pipeline_Home is the directory where you installed Pipeline Manager.
The FCT_AccountLPRouter module looks up the logical partition in which the account resides and writes it to the LOGICAL_PARTITION_ID EDR field.

The FCT_AccountRouter module routes EDRs to the appropriate database schema in multischema systems. This module finds the customer's schema and routes the EDRs to the appropriate pipeline. See "Using Pipeline Manager with Multiple Database Schemas".
When used with standard recycling or Suspense Manager, this module routes call records from the pre-recycling pipeline to the appropriate rating pipeline.
Important:
FCT_AccountRouter runs in its own instance of Pipeline Manager and should be configured with its own registry file. Create a registry file that includes entries for the Input, FCT_AccountRouter, and Output modules.Requires a connection to the DAT_AccountBatch module.
For general use, this module must run after the FCT_ServiceCodeMap module and before the rating modules.
For use with standard recycling or Suspense Manager using multiple database schemas, this module must be run before OUT_GenericStream in a pre-recycling pipeline.
This module sends output to a separate pipeline for each BRM database schema.
For more information, see "Function Module Dependencies".

The FCT_CallAssembling module assembles the multiple CDRs that comprise a single wireless call into a single EDR that Pipeline Manager can process. See "Assembling EDRs".
You must run this module early in a pipeline to assemble EDRs. You must run it before FCT_Discard.
When you configure the FCT_CallAssembling function module to not drop EDRs from the pipeline, ensure that the FCT_AggreGate function module that counts them runs before the FCT_Reject function module.
For more information, see "Function Module Dependencies".
Table 36-24 lists the FCT_CallAssembling registry entries.

Yes |
MaxDuration |
Directs FCT_CallAssembling to rate segments of a wireless call periodically. This entry specifies the maximum amount of time (in seconds) that a call can remain open before FCT_CallAssembling rates the segments that have arrived. This module recalculates the call duration for every call each time a new call segment arrives and compares it to the MaxDuration setting. If the new time duration equals or exceeds the setting for MaxDuration, FCT_CallAssembling emits an EDR to rate the existing portion of the call. For details and a comparison to FlushLimit, see "Rating Calls by Time Duration". No default entry. |
No |
Mode |
Change this entry only if you are creating data upgrade pipelines that are used when changing an EDR container description. The possible values are: Normal. The default mode, and the most common use of this module. Directs FCT_CallAssembling to assemble CDRs into EDRs so Pipeline Manager can process them. RestoreEDRs. Directs FCT_CallAssembling to read serialized EDRs in sequence from data files and inserts them into the pipeline. UpGradeData. Directs FCT_CallAssembling to update data files based on the EDRs it receives. Default = Normal See "Upgrading Incomplete Calls to the New Container Description" in BRM Setting Up Pricing and Rating. |
Yes |
Path |
Specifies the directory for the data files. Default = . |
No |
RejectMissingChain |
Specifies whether to report an error if a chain reference value is missing. Default = False |
No |
SplitAtGaps |
Specifies whether a non-contiguous set of CDRs can be collected into a single EDR. For example, assume that CDRs F, I1, I2, and I4 have arrived. If set to True, this entry directs FCT_CallAssembling to emit an EDR for F, I1, and I2, and because I3 is missing, a separate EDR for I4. If set to False, all CDRs that have arrived are collected into a single EDR. If set to True, FCT_CallAssembling will emit multiple EDRs if a CDR is missing when the call. True = Active False = Inactive Default = False |
No |

The FCT_CancelTimer module checks the TimerID to identify the EDR and the timeout flag to verify if the EDR is valid or timed out. If the time out flag is set to False, FCT_CancelTimer cancels the timeout flag in the EDR so that the EDR can be sent for further processing.
If the timeout flag is set to True, it means there is a duplicate EDR and the FCT_CancelTimer discards the EDR.
FCT_CancelTimer depends on the FCT_Timer in the Dispatcher pipeline for the TimerID and the timeout flag values.
For more information, see "Function Module Dependencies".

The FCT_Discard module discards or skips EDRs based on configurable EDR properties.
Skipping an EDR removes it from the pipeline.
Discarding an EDR sends it to a different output stream.
In both the cases the state of the EDR becomes invalid.
See "Discarding and Skipping EDRs".
Requires a connection to the Pipeline Manager database.
Because you can discard or split EDRs based on service codes, this module should run after the FCT_ServiceCodeMap module. Should be early in the function pool, but must be run after FCT_CallAssembling.
For more information, see "Function Module Dependencies".

To enter data in this table, use Pricing Center.
For information about the fields in database tables, see the documentation in Pipeline_Home\database.
Note:
For information on compare patterns used in database values, see "About Using Regular Expressions when Specifying the Data to Extract".The FCT_Discount module performs discounting operations. The module supports discounting for events rated in real time and events rated in batch by Pipeline Manager. See "About Discounts".
When the module is called for discount calculation as part of prepaid authorization or reauthorization, it splits charge packets if necessary to create linear segments to which a single net rate applies. See "Credit Limit Checks during Prepaid Authorization" in BRM Telco Integration.
Requires a connection to the following:
The DAT_Discount module. See "DAT_Discount".
A balance data module, either DAT_BalanceRealtime or DAT_BalanceBatch depending on whether the module is being used for real-time or batch discounting. See "DAT_BalanceRealtime" or "DAT_BalanceBatch".
An account data module, either DAT_AccountRealtime or DAT_AccountBatch depending on whether the module is being used for real-time or batch discounting. See "DAT_AccountRealtime" or "DAT_AccountBatch".
The DAT_Currency module. This module converts resource codes to resource IDs. See "DAT_Currency".
For batch discounting, you must also configure the FCT_ApplyBalance module, which should be in the same function pool as this module for performance reasons and must run after this module.
This module must run after FCT_MainRating.
For more information, see "Function Module Dependencies".

No |
CheckField |
Section that specifies the EDR field and values used to identify a dropped call. See "Specifying the EDR fields for finding dropped calls" in BRM Telco Integration. |
Yes |
CheckField.Name |
Specifies the EDR field that is used to identify a dropped call. Note: Only one EDR field can be used to identify a dropped call. |
Yes |
CheckField.Value |
Specifies the values for identifying a dropped call. Note: If more than one value qualifies an EDR as a dropped call, enter multiple values separated by a comma (,) with no spaces; for example: 5,6,7. BRM interprets the comma as a Boolean OR value. |
Yes |
WrittenFields |
Section that specifies the dropped call EDR fields that are written into memory and are used to detect continuation calls. You use dummy key values such as 1 and 2 to list the EDR fields, as shown below: 1 = EDR_field 2 = EDR_field 3 = EDR_field Note: BRM automatically writes the DETAIL.A_NUMBER, DETAIL.B_NUMBER, DETAIL.CHARGING_END_TIMESTAMP, and DETAIL.CUST_A.BILL_NEXT_DATE EDR fields to memory, so you should not list these fields. See "Specifying the EDR fields for identifying continuation calls" in BRM Telco Integration. |
No |
AddedFields |
Section that specifies the dropped call EDR fields that are written into memory and then added to the continuation call EDR. Important: When you map a dropped call EDR field to a continuation call EDR field, both fields must have the same data type. You can find a field's data type by reading the container description file (container.dsc). By default, the module does not enrich the continuation call EDR. See "Mapping dropped call fields to continuation call fields" in BRM Telco Integration. |
No |
AddedFields.Fieldx |
Section that maps one dropped call EDR field to one continuation call EDR field. You create a Fieldx section for each pair of EDR fields that you want to map. For example, if you want to map three EDR pairs, create a Field1 section, a Field2 section, and a Field3 section. |
No |
AddedFields.Fieldx.ContinuationCallField |
Specifies the continuation call EDR field. The module adds the value of the dropped call EDR field specified in DroppedCallField to the continuation call EDR field that you specify. |
No |
AddedFields.Fieldx.DroppedCallField |
Specifies the dropped call EDR field to write into memory. This field's value is added to the continuation call EDR field specified in ContinuationCallField. |

With this sample registry configuration, the FCT_DroppedCall module identifies:
Dropped calls by finding all EDRs with a DETAIL.CALL_COMPLETION_INDICATOR EDR field set to 5.
Continuation calls by using the DETAIL.RECORD_TYPE EDR field.
Note:
By default, the module also automatically writes the DETAIL.A_NUMBER, DETAIL.B_NUMBER, DETAIL.CUST_A.BILL_NEXT_DATE, and DETAIL.CHARGING_END_TIMESTAMP EDR fields to memory.When the module detects a continuation call, it adds the value of the dropped call's DETAIL.DURATION EDR field to the continuation call's DETAIL.DROPPED_CALL_QUANTITY EDR field.
Table 36-57 lists the FCT_DroppedCall Semaphore file entries.
Table 36-57 FCT_DroppedCall Semaphore File Entries
Entry | Description |

Active |
Specifies whether the module is active or inactive. True = Active False = Inactive |
RemoveLimit |
Specifies to remove all calls from the memory map and data file that are older than the specified number of days. For example, if you specify 7, BRM removes from the memory map all entries older than 7 days. The time is calculated from the current system time. Note: Set the time to a large enough value to allow for late-arriving and recycled EDRs. |
ifw.Pipelines.ALL_RATE.Functions.FunctionPool.DroppedCall.Active = True ifw.Pipelines.ALL_RATE.Functions.FunctionPool.DroppedCall.RemoveLimit = 7

The FCT_DuplicateCheck module checks for duplicate EDRs. See "Handling Duplicate EDRs".
Note:
Before using the FCT_DuplicateCheck module, load the duplicate check stored procedures in the Pipeline Manager database. See "Loading procedures for FCT_DuplicateCheck" in BRM Installation Guide.To enable your system to check for duplicate EDRs without using excessive disk space, connect the FCT_DuplicateCheck module to the Pipeline Manager database.
The FCT_DuplicateCheck module is typically the second module in a pipeline, directly following the FCT_PreSuspense module. This ensures that no further processing is done on duplicate EDRs.
For more information, see "Function Module Dependencies".
Table 36-59 lists the FCT_DuplicateCheck registry entries.
Table 36-59 FCT_DuplicateCheck Registry Entries

EDRs dated January 1, 2004 (StoreLimit) through January 4, 2004 are stored in the IFW_DUPLICATECHECK database table.
EDRs dated December 31, 2003 or earlier are ignored.
The following day, the module receives the following update registry:
DuplicateCheck { ModuleName = FCT_DuplicateCheck Module { BufferLimit = 20040106 StoreLimit = 20040102 } }
With this updated registry sample configuration, the following occurs:
EDRs dated January 6, 2004 (new BufferLimit) or later are stored in the duplicate check list in memory.
EDRs dated January 5, 2004 are moved to the IFW_DUPLICATECHECK database table.
EDRs dated January 2, 2004 (new StoreLimit) through January 4, 2004 continue to be stored in the database table.
Note:
EDR data for duplicate checks is stored in the IFW_DUPLICATECHECK database table. This table can be hosted by any database. Normally, at the end of the day, all the EDR data in memory is flushed to the database.Table 36-60 lists the FCT_DuplicateCheck Semaphore file entries.
Table 36-60 FCT_DuplicateCheck Semaphore File Entries
Entry | Description |
---|---|
Active |
Specifies whether the module is active or inactive. True = Active False = Inactive |
BufferLimit |
Specifies the oldest date that previously processed EDRs can be stored in memory. The format is YYYYMMDD. Note: The BufferLimit date must be equal to or later than the StoreLimit date. For example, if the StoreLimit date is June 1, the BufferLimit must be June 1 or later. |
StoreLimit |
Specifies the oldest date that previously processed EDRs can be stored. If an EDR is dated earlier than the StoreLimit date, the EDR is not processed by the FCT_DuplicateCheck module. The format is YYYYMMDD. Note: The BufferLimit date must be equal to or later than the StoreLimit date. For example, if the StoreLimit date is June 1, the BufferLimit must be June 1 or later. |
ifw.Pipelines.ALL_RATE.Functions.Processing.FunctionPool.DuplicateCheck. Module.StoreLimit = 20020101 ifw.Pipelines.ALL_RATE.Functions.Processing.FunctionPool.DuplicateCheck. Module.BufferLimit = 20020125
You configure the output stream for the FCT_DuplicateCheck module in the Output section of the registry, for example:
# Output stream for duplicate events DuplicateOutput { ModuleName = OUT_Reject Module { OutputStream { ModuleName = EXT_OutFileManager Module { OutputPath = ./samples/wireless/data/rej OutputPrefix = test OutputSuffix = .dup TempPrefix = tmp TempDataPath = ./samples/wireless/data/rej TempDataPrefix = dup.tmp. TempDataSuffix = .data Replace = TRUE DeleteEmptyFile = TRUE } } } } # end of DuplicateOutput
Note:
To ensure output file integrity, specify a unique combination of OutputPath, OutputSuffix, and OutputPrefix values for each output stream defined in the registry.You specify the EDR container fields in the FCT_DuplicateCheck module Fields startup registry entry.
The FCT_DuplicateCheck module uses the IFW_DUPLICATECHECK database table.
If you use the database instead of a file to define the data that the FCT_DuplicateCheck module uses for comparing EDRs, you need to create this table. The FCT_DuplicateCheck module uses the data in the IFW_DUPLICATECHECK table to check for duplicate EDRs. See "Handling Duplicate EDRs".
The IFW_DUPLICATECHECK table should have a unique index. A duplicate EDR is detected by the database reporting a violation of the uniqueness when attempting to INSERT.
Note:
Oracle recommends that you have multiple partitions to increase the INSERT performance.For information about the fields in database tables, see the documentation in Pipeline_Home\database.
The FCT_EnhancedSplitting module specifies different output streams for EDRs based on rules. For example:
You can split EDRs for different service types to different output streams.
You can split EDRs from roaming outcollects and incollects into different streams.
See "Using Rules to Send EDRs to Different Output Streams".
Requires a connection to the Pipeline Manager database.
Because you can split EDRs based on service codes, this module should run after the FCT_ServiceCodeMap and FCT_UsageClassMap modules.
For more information, see "Function Module Dependencies".

This module can read any valid EDR fields (defined in container.dsc) for matching criteria (EDR field name and value).
Important:
EDR field names read by this module cannot exceed a depth of 6 levels. Exceeding this limit prevents the pipeline from starting and results in an error message.The FCT_FirstUsageNotify module sets the batch rating output stream for products and discounts that start on first usage and sets an error code in the EDR for suspending events that use those products and discounts while their validity periods are being set.
For more information, see "About Suspending EDRs for Products and Discounts that Start on First Usage".
Note:
To process first-usage events in the real-time rerating pipeline, use the "ISC_FirstProductRealtime" iScript.Run this module before the FCT_ApplyBalance and FCT_Reject modules.

The FCT_IRules module evaluates iRules. You use iRules to perform functions such as mapping EDR data fields and splitting EDR containers to different output streams. You group rules together in a rule set.
You can store rules in the database or in an ASCII file.
Important:
FCT_IRules cannot read files written in XML format. You can, however, use the irules2db.pl script to load iRules written in XML into the database. See "Importing and Exporting Validation Rules" in BRM Developer's Guide.For more information, see:

FCT_IRules uses the following database tables to store the generic rules:
IFW_RULESET. Specifies a rule set for linking a related set of rules.
IFW_RULESETLIST. Links a rule set with its rules. Each rule has a rank that specifies the order in which it is evaluated.
IFW_RULE. Stores the iRules.
IFW_RULEITEM. Contains the conditions, the result and the rank for a rule item.
For information about the fields in database tables, see the documentation in Pipeline_Home\database.
Note:
For information on compare patterns used in database values, see "About Using Regular Expressions when Specifying the Data to Extract".You can store iRules in an ASCII file by using a syntax that is similar to XML:
Each tag must start on a separate line.
Blank lines are allowed.
Comment lines must start with a pound symbol: #
The rules and rule items are ranked by their order in the file; the first having the highest rank.
You can load rule sets from the Pipeline Manager database. iRule components are stored in the following tables:
IFW_RULESET
IFW_RULESETLIST
IFW_RULE
IFW_RULEITEM
The following example file shows the syntax of a rule set:
############################################################################## # Example ruleset file ############################################################################## <RULESET> #============================================================================= # The first rule of this ruleset #============================================================================= <RULE MapRule1> <INIT_SCRIPT> String code = edrString(DETAIL.SERVICE_CODE) + "_GK2"; </INIT_SCRIPT> #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # The first ruleitem of this rule #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- <RULEITEM discount> <CONDITION> /* The text between <CONDITION> and </CONDITON> is directly passed to the * the interpreter.

This module is used both by the standard recycling mechanism and by the Suspense Manager service integration component that you purchase separately. Both implementations are described below.
Important:
This module stores the contents of the EDR before any other modules change it. This module must take the original version of an EDR as input, so that it can be recycled after being suspended.The BRM FCT_PreSuspense module adds suspense-related information to EDRs. It adds the DETAIL.ASS_SUSPENSE_EXT data block to the EDR if that data block does not already exist.
When used with Suspense Manager, FCT_PreSuspense configures the queryable fields for EDRs suspended in a specific pipeline. You must enter the table and field names from the /suspended_usage object, as well as the corresponding EDR container fields. See "Registry Entries" for syntax and formatting information.
If no QueryableFields registry entry is present, the HEADER.QUERYABLE_FIELDS_MAPPING and DETAIL.ASS_SUSPENSE_EXT.QUERYABLE_FIELDS_MAPPING are set to empty strings.
Important:
Each table listed in the FCT_PreSuspense registry must also be configured in the RE Loader Infranet.properties file so that RE Loader can load into these tables.This module adds queryable field mapping information to the HEADER.QUERYABLE_FIELDS_MAPPING field of the EDR.This information is passed to the Suspended Event (SE) Loader to generate control files for loading suspended usage records.
Note:
You add one set of queryable fields representing one /suspended_usage subclass per pipeline. For example, for a single pipeline that accepts /suspended_usage/telco/gsm records, you can pick queryable fields from the /suspended_usage/telco and /suspended_usage/telco/gsm subclasses. You could not pick queryable fields from /suspended_usage/telco/gprs, because it requires a separate pipeline.FCT_PreSuspense serializes the original EDR container and stores it in DETAIL.ASS_SUSPENSE_EXT.EDR_BUF. It also stores the EDR size in DETAIL.ASS_SUSPENSE_EXT.EDR_SIZE.
When call records are being recycled, this module sets values for:
HEADER.BATCH_ID, based on value already set by INP_Recycle in pre-recycle pipeline. This ID is appended with information to ensure that it remains unique.
DETAIL.BATCH_ID with the batch ID value from the header record.
You use the KeepExistingBatchIds registry entry to determine whether an EDR's batch ID is preserved as it is processed by the pipeline. A value of False directs the pipeline to change the batch ID; a value of True preserves it.
Set KeepExistingBatchIds to False (the default value) if the current pipeline is not part of a chain. Also set this entry to False if the current pipeline is the first pipeline in a chain of pipelines that includes the FCT_PreSuspense module.
Set this entry to True if the current pipeline is part of a chain of pipelines, and it is not the first pipeline in the chain that includes FCT_PreSuspense.
See "Tracking EDRs by using batch IDs" in BRM Collecting Revenue Assurance Data.
This module must be the first preprocessing module in a pipeline.
For more information, see "Function Module Dependencies".

Table 36-105 FCT_PreSuspense Registry Entries
Entry | Description | Mandatory |
---|---|---|
Active |
Specifies if the module is active or inactive. True = Active False = Inactive You can use this entry in a semaphore file. |

KeepExistingBatchIds |
A value of True preserves the Batch ID in the detail record of each EDR in an EDR file. A value of False sets the Batch ID of each EDR to the Batch ID contained in the header record of the batch input file. The default is False. |
No |
QueryableFields (Suspense Manager only) |
Specifies which fields in which tables are queryable from the Suspense Management Center. Includes the EDR container fields that correspond to the database fields. This entry is only useful to customers who have purchased Suspense Manager. Format: QueryableFields { table_name_1 { database_column_name_1 = edr_container_field_1 database_column_name_2 = edr_container_field_2 } table_name_2 { database_column_name_3 = edr_container_field_3 database_column_name_4 = edr_container_field_4 } } If this entry is not present, this module sets HEADER.QUERYABLE_FIELDS_MAPPING and DETAIL.ASS_SUSPENSE_EXT.QUERYABLE_FIELDS to empty strings. |

The FCT_SocialNo module uses the following EDR container fields listed in Table 36-133 to flag social numbers for further processing.
The FCT_SocialNo module uses the IFW_SOCIALNUMBER database table. This table stores social numbers. To define social numbers, use Pricing Center. See "Setting Up Social Numbers".
For information about the fields in database tables, see the documentation in Pipeline_Home\database.
Note:
For information on compare patterns used in database values, see "About Using Regular Expressions when Specifying the Data to Extract".This module is used both by the standard recycling mechanism and by the Suspense Manager service integration component that you purchase separately. Both implementations are described below.
Important:
With one exception, FCT_Suspense must be the last function module in the pipeline. This ensures that it processes the final EDR container, including overwritten field values and enrichment field values. However, if FCT_AggreGate is used, it can be after FCT_Suspense.As part of the standard recycling mechanism, the BRM FCT_Suspense function module:
Routes EDRs being recycled from SuspenseCreateOutput to suspenseUpdateOutput.
Determines the brand for each suspended call.
Logs the results of test recycling (if the LogTestResults registry entry is set).
Suspense reason and subreason codes are not supported with standard recycling, and these codes are all set to O (other).
As part of Suspense Manager, this module adds suspense reason and suspense subreason codes to EDRs. The specific errors that it adds are based on the error codes assigned to the EDR by the pipeline and the mapping information stored in the /config/suspense_reason_code object. If no /config/suspense_reason_code object is present, this module sets the suspense reason to O (other).
Requires a connection to the BRM database.
This module must be the last one in the pipeline.
For more information, see "Function Module Dependencies".

The FCT_Timer module sets the timer ID for an EDR and stores a copy of the EDR when the original EDR is sent to the processing pipeline.
If an EDR times out, FCT_Timer sets the timeout flag to True and sends:
The original EDR with a timeout flag to the exception pipeline, which is the pipeline to which the original EDR is sent when it times out.
The duplicate EDR to the timeout pipeline, which is the pipeline to which the duplicate EDR is sent when it times out.
If the EDR is processed within the time limit, FCT_Timer sets the timeout flag to False.
FCT_Timer also handles heartbeat and keep-alive messages by automatically resetting the timer at the interval specified in the KeepAliveInterval registry entry when there is message traffic between the CM and the Intelligent Network (IN).
Table 36-137 lists the FCT_Timer registry entries.

Specifies the connection to the DAT_USC_Map data module. See "Connecting A Pipeline Manager Module To Another Module" in BRM System Administrator's Guide. |
Yes |
DefaultUSCGroup |
Specifies the USC group that contains the mapping rules. If no matching rule is found, the FCT_USC_Map module uses the rule in the default USC map group. You can use this entry in a semaphore file. |
Yes |
LogZoneModelNotFoundEntries |
Specifies, if set to True, that all log entries in INF_NO_USC_MAPPING_ENTRY are logged into the Stream log. The default value is False. |
No |
Mode |
Specifies the mode in which USC mapping is done. The Rating mode (the default) specifies that USC mapping is done using the zone model from the charge packets. Mapping in this mode provides the impact category for charge packets. The Zoning mode specifies that USC mapping is done using the zone model from the EDR detail block. Mapping in this mode provides impact categories for the detail block. Using the Zoning mode requires that the DETAIL.RETAIL_IMPACT_CATEGORY and DETAIL.WHOLESALE_IMPACT_CATEGORY fields are populated. |

The FCT_USC_Map module uses the following database tables:
IFW_USC_MAP. This table stores mapping rules for usage scenario maps. You define the rules in Pricing Center. See "Setting Up Usage Scenario Mapping" in BRM Setting Up Pricing and Rating.
IFW_USC_GROUP. This table stores USC group codes used for usage scenario mapping. See "Setting Up Usage Scenario Mapping" in BRM Setting Up Pricing and Rating.
IFW_USAGETYPE. This table stores usage type codes used for usage scenario mapping. See "Setting Up Usage Scenario Mapping" in BRM Setting Up Pricing and Rating.
For information about the fields in database tables, see the documentation in Pipeline_Home\database.
Note:
For information on compare patterns used in database values, see "About Using Regular Expressions when Specifying the Data to Extract".The FCT_Zone module computes zones when you use Pipeline Manager only for zoning. See "About Setting Up Zones" in BRM Setting Up Pricing and Rating.
The FCT_Zone module requires a connection to the DAT_Zone module.
This module must run after FCT_Account.
For more information, see "Function Module Dependencies".
Table 36-151 lists the FCT_Zone registry entries.
