Reservation Data Records (RDR) are data records that are formatted as lines of quoted comma-separated values. The values are as follows:
Table 6-3 Reservation Data Record Values
The Reservation Data Records are available to any consumers connected via TCP to an RDR port. RDRs are also written to files so that consumers can initialize and not lose billing data.
For RDRs written to a file, after a configurable interval of time, the file is closed and renamed to include a time stamp (such as /var/iic/cdr/rsrv-2005-01-28-08-27.log). Then a new RDR file is created.
When a real-time RDR consumer connects to the RDR port, all current RDR records are sent to the RDR consumer. Current RDR records are stored in /var/iic/cdr/rsrv.elg file until the log rotation time. A real-time RDR consumer can get the current information by retrieving all of the available rotated RDR files in the /var/iic/cdr directory.
