Setting UDR Formats
ECS generates postpaid charging data files which can be retrieved from the system periodically and used as input to a
billing mediation system for postprocessing.
UDRs are generated according to action statements in rule commands. Up to 32 different UDR schema types may be
specified, each composed of up to 32 fields or analyzer parameter names. The records are written thresholds in a
comma-separated (CSV) format.
