Purpose

This document is intended to provide technical tips to third-party software developers about

utilizing the features of the Business Communications Manager System (BCM) 4.0.

Audience

These technical tips will be of interest to third-party software developers who:

• Require access to reporting data for Hunt Group (HG), Voice Mail Mailbox, Custom Call

Routing (CCR), and Call Detail Recording (CDR).

• Develop Interactive Voice Response (IVR) applications.

Consolidated Reporting Data

Consolidated Reporting Data (CRD)

Introduction

Consolidated reporting data for the Business Communications Manager (BCM) System 4.0

include metrics/statistics on the following:

• External Call Activity; that is, Call Detail Recording (CDR)

• Hunt Groups (HG) Usage

• Call Pilot Voice Mail Mailbox Usage

• Call Pilot Custom Call Routing (CCR) Usage

• Interactive Voice Response (IVR)

Each type of metrical/statistical information is collected, stored in its own data file and placed in a

common directory in order to be transferred using the CDR Push or Pull transfer methods. See

“Accessing Reporting Data” on page 13.

The CDR live-stream method includes External Call Activity only, and does not report on the

other metrics.

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) Metrics Reporting

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) usage is specific to an individual customer. Examples of

customers include pharmacy, banking, and education.

The configuration of the IVR system requires a script/application to be developed to suit the

customer operational requirements. If usage/metric reporting is one of the requirements, the

developed IVR application must record and store the information according to the following rules

in order to be available from the Call Detail Recording Push or Pull methods. See “Accessing

Reporting Data” on page 13.

• Data should be comma separated where each piece of data represents particular information or

metric.

• Data should be stored in a flat ascii file.

• Data file MUST be named according to the following convention:

Record.ivr.<YYYYMMDDHHMMSS> where YYYY= year, MM=numerical month,

DD=numerable day of month, HH=Hour of day, MM=Minute of hour, SS= seconds. This

filename format should be sufficient to help indicate the period for which the data apply.

• The data file must be placed in the following directory on the BCM System 4.0:

Hunt Group (HG) Metrics Reporting

Hunt Group metrics data is gathered on an hourly basis for all BCM System 4.0 hunt groups. The

data is recorded for each hunt group regardless of whether or not it is configured for use. After the

data is gathered and stored in the hunt group metrics file, the counters are reset so that the next

reporting cycle contains only the information for the hour in question.

Hunt groups reporting-metrics data interact with CDR as follows:

• CDR - Transfers this file during a CDR Push or Pull operation. See “Accessing Reporting

Data” on page 13.

Formats of Hunt Group Report Data

Formats for the hunt group report data follow:

< YYYYMMDDHHMMSS > - represents the date and time the statistics/metrics were gathered.

An identical string should follow the metrics data for all 30 hunt groups.

Comma separated records represent data for a hunt group. The fields for this record are:

• Hunt Group number <range from 1 to 30>

• Hunt Group name <1-7 characters>

• Last time metrics were cleared <YYYYMMDDHHMMSS>.

• Total number of calls since last cleared <0- 65535>

• Number of answered calls since last cleared <0 - 65535>

• Average number of answered calls since last cleared. Represented as a rounded percentage

(i.e. answered calls / total calls)

• Average time to answer (value in seconds).

• Number of abandoned calls (i.e. dropped before being answered) since last cleared <0 -

65535>

• Average of abandoned calls since last cleared. Represented as a rounded percentage (i.e.

abandoned calls / total calls)

Note: Call Detail Recording Push/Pull methods transfer only those files which

have not been transferred previously. See “Accessing Reporting Data” on page 13.

To determine whether a file has been transferred, check the write permission for

others. If write permissions are available for others, the file has not yet been

transferred.

The IVR application which generates the metrics data file should check these

permissions before adding any new information to an existing file (i.e. needs to

re-open and append metrics data to an existing file). If the write permissions are

not set then the file has already been transferred and a new file should be created

before the metrics data is recorded.
