7 Conversion Manager Utilities

This chapter provides reference information for Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management (BRM) Conversion Manager utilities.

Topics in this document:

cmt_mta_cycle_fees

Note:

The cmt_mta_cycle_fees utility is run internally by the pin_cmt utility. Do not run this utility by itself.

The cmt_mta_cycle_fees utility applies cycle forward fees to BRM accounts that have been deployed by the pin_cmt utility. See "Understanding Conversion Manager" and "Loading Legacy Data into the BRM Database".

Note:

  • Conversion Manager is an optional component, not part of base BRM.

  • To connect to the BRM database, the cmt_mta_cycle_fees utility needs a configuration file in the directory from which you run the utility.

Location

BRM_home/apps/cmt

where BRM_home is the directory in which the BRM server software is installed.

Syntax

cmt_mta_cycle_fees -stage_id stage_ID -cycle_dom day_of_month

Parameters

-stage_id stage_ID

The stage ID used when the data was imported.

-cycle_dom day_of_month

The billing day of month for the accounts that need cycle fees applied.

Results

The cmt_mta_cycle_fees utility notifies you when it runs successfully. Otherwise, look in the pin_mta.pinlog file in BRM_home/apps/cmt for errors.

pin_cmt

Use the pin_cmt utility to load legacy data in XML format into your BRM database. See "Understanding Conversion Manager" and "Loading Legacy Data into the BRM Database".

Note:

  • Conversion Manager is an optional component, not part of base BRM.

  • To specify a database connection, edit the pin_cmt Infranet.properties file in BRM_home/apps/cmt.

Location

BRM_home/apps/cmt

Syntax

pin_cmt -import -file XML_input_data_file stage_ID| 
        -import_custom -file XML_input_data_file stage_ID| 
        -recovery load batch_ID|
        -deploy DOM stage_ID

Parameters

-import -file XML_input_data_file stage_ID

Imports the specified data file into the BRM database.

Note:

Ensure that there are no extra spaces in the input XML file. If you need to indent text in the XML file, use the TAB key to add space.

-import_custom -file XML_input_data_file stage_ID

Imports data that uses new storable classes into the BRM database.

-recovery load batch_id

Reloads data after a failed load process. The batch ID is recorded in the cmt.pinlog file in BRM_home/apps/cmt.

-deploy DOM stage_ID

Deploys data. DOM is the billing cycle's day of the month. stage_ID is the stage ID used when the data was imported.

In this example, accounts with a billing day of month of 15 and stage ID of 100 are deployed:

pin_cmt -deploy 15 100

Results

The pin_cmt utility notifies you when it runs successfully. Otherwise, look in the cmt.pinlog file in BRM_home/apps/cmt for errors. In addition, look for errors in the log file specified in the pin.conf file for the cmt_mta_cycle_fees utility.
