Changes to Accounting Configuration
The following changes and enhancements to the accounting configuration support FTP push.
The Accounting navigation pane no longer displays the Account Server configuration link. Only the Accounting link remains. Oracle moved the Account Server configuration controls and parameters onto the Accounting Configuration page, which displays when you click the remaining Accounting link.
On the
Accounting
Configuration page, Oracle changed
Generate
interim from a single-instance drop-down list to a multi-instance
configuration element and added the
Push
receiver configuration dialog, also a multi-instance configuration
element. Note the following behavioral differences:
| Pre-PCZ3.1.0 Behavior | PCZ3.1.0 Behavior |
|---|---|
| The Generate interim parameter displays a drop-down list of interim events to collect. You can specify only one interim event to collect. | The Generate interim parameter displays the multi-instance Add dialog where you can specify multiple interim events to collect. The system adds each event to the list on the Account config page. |
| FTP Push displays a hide-show toggle for the FTP push parameters. The parameters allow you to enable FTP Push and configure one FTP push receiver. | The hide-show toggle is removed and the Accounting Configuration page displays the Push receiver dialog, where you can Add multiple FTP push servers. The system adds each push server to the list on the Accounting Configuration page. |
The
Accounting
Configuration and
Push
receiver pages also include the following label changes that affect
the existing parameters:
| Page | Pre-PCZ3.1.0 label | PCZ3.1.0 label |
|---|---|---|
| Add Accounting Configuration | Intermediate period (in seconds) | Intermediate period |
| Add Accounting Configuration | Enable file output | File output |
| Add Accounting Configuration | File rotate time interval (Minutes) | File rotate time |
| Add Accounting Configuration | Maximum file size (bytes) | Max file size |
| Add Accounting Configuration | Enable Ftp push | FTP push |
| Add Push receiver | Ftp IP address | Server |
| Add Push receiver | Ftp remote file path | Remote path |
The PCZ3.1.0 release deprecates the following parameters, except when no
Accounting
Configuration and
push-receivers
configuration elements are defined:
- FTP port
- FTP user
- FTP address
- FTP password
- FTP remote path
