RMX 2000 Administrator's Guide Version 7.6.1 - Polycom

CDR File Contents
The following is an example of a formatted CDR file:
General conference
section
Event heading
Figure 17-2 Formatted CDR File
Chapter 17-The Call Detail Record (CDR) Utility
Event section
The general conference section or record contains information such as the Routing Name
and ID, and the conference starting date and time.
The event sections or records contain an event type heading or event type code, followed by
event data. For example, an event type may be that a participant connects to the conference,
and the event data will list the date and time the participant connects to the conference, the
participant name and ID, and the participant capabilities used to connect to the conference.
To enable compatibility for applications that written for the MGC family, the Polycom RMX
CDR file structure is based on the MGC CDR file structure.
The unformatted and formatted text files contain basically the same information. The
following differences should be noted between the contents of the unformatted and
formatted text files:
• In many cases a formatted text file field contains a textual value, whereas the equivalent
unformatted file field contains a numeric value that represents the textual value.
• For reading clarity, in a few instances, a single field in the unformatted file is converted
to multiple fields in the formatted text file, and in other cases, multiple fields in the
unformatted file are combined into one field in the formatted file.
• To enable compatibility between MGC CDR files and RMX CDR files, the unformatted
file contains fields that were applicable to the MGC MCUs, but are not supported by the
RMX MCUs. These fields are omitted from the formatted text file.
Appendix C: "CDR Fields - Unformatted File” on page C-1, contains a full list of the events, fields
and values that appear in the unformatted file. This appendix can be referred to for information
regarding the contents of fields in the unformatted text file, but does not reflect the exact contents of
the formatted text file.
