D7WVRErrorReport

Translated messages can be collected from the local D7 package, or can be received globally from any D7 package on the SS7 cluster. A number of D7 alarm messages have their own translation, with parameters translated into more identifiable values (for example machine names) and descriptions to highlight the condition and potential remedies.

Startup parameters

The startup parameters listed below can be applied to the custom server from the top level Blueworx Voice Response GUI, after making the following selections: Application —> Application —> SS7_D7 —> Custom servers —> D7WVRErrorReport —> File —>Properties.

Remember to put only one parameter on each line.

Global Reporting

Use the -g parameter (together with -r) to register this D7 host as a global collector of D7 alarms from other D7 hosts (SS7 Servers). See D7 Alarm Logging.

Repetition Suppression

Use the –R <number> facility to reduce the number of repetitions of the same Alarm message being passed to Blueworx Voice Response. For example by entering –R 3 following the first occurrence of an alarm causes the subsequent three identical alarms to be suppressed. Use the –r parameter to disable this feature.

Reporting Level

Use the –d <1...3> parameter to define the reporting level. For an Alarm message to be passed to Blueworx Voice Response it must have a reporting level of greater than or equal to the parameter supplied. For example –d 1 is the default and passes all alarm messages.

Compile Translation File

Use –C to create a binary translation file based on the D7 package error files. This option is used once on installation, to create a translation file from D7 to Blueworx Voice Response, and is not required during normal operation.

Configuration Files

D7WVRErrorReport has two configuration files:

D7_ErrorList

The binary translation file created by the Compile Translation file option above.

AlarmTranslation.cfg

This contains the mapping of D7 error codes to Blueworx Voice Response alarm codes and associated reporting level. For more information on this configuration refer to Configuration files.
