50 CHAPTER 3: MANAGING VCX SERVERS
Accounting server, do not change this setting. The Call Records service
will purge CDRs from the Accounting server after collecting them.
If you do not have Call Records service, change this setting to
AUTO_CLEAN_IF_NO_LATEST_UPDATE="Y" to enable self-cleaning on the
Accounting service.
The variable AUTO_CLEAN_IF_NO_LATEST_UPDATE_INTERVAL is set to 96
hours (four days) by default. A smaller value initiates the self-cleaning
more often. A larger value allows the CDRs to remain on the Accounting
server longer.
5Save your changes.
You can also configure the Accounting service to be self-cleaning by
modifying the itbes_xml_cdr.mib variables:
■itbesCdrAutoCleanIfLatestStale
■itbesCdrAutoCleanIfLatestStalePeriod
QDR File
Maintenance
Management of QDRs storage is similar to CDR management except that
QDR generation is disabled by default (see QoS Monitoring Statistics) and
QDRs are not collected by the Call Records service. You can, however,
configure the Accounting service to be self-cleaning by editing the
Accounting service configuration file or modifying the appropriate SNMP
MIB variables.
To modify the Accounting service configuration file:
1Log in to the server running the Accounting service using the root
account.
2Enter the following command:
cd /opt/3com/VCX/acctxml/conf/
3Use an editor to open the following file:
acctxmlconfig.xml
4In the <CONFIGURATION_INFO> section, locate the
<BES_QOSFILE_CONFIG> subsection and find the following variables:
AUTO_CLEAN_IF_NO_LATEST_UPDATE="N"
AUTO_CLEAN_IF_NO_LATEST_UPDATE_INTERVAL="96"
The first variable determines whether or not QDRs are purged.
By default, the variable AUTO_CLEAN_IF_NO_LATEST_UPDATE is set to N.
