Description Of Change |
|
AT&T is requesting Qwest to separate daily usage files, separating Category 01 and 010 from category 011
Request for Qwest to separate daily usage files by separating category 01 and 010 from category 011. Categories 01 and 010 separate daily usage records for end users while category 011 tracks billing for other carriers. AT&T separates billing entities by these functions. AT&T believes that other carriers utilize this same process. AT&T believes would be more efficient if the daily usage files were separate in this manner.

Project Meetings |
| 09/12/01 - Clarification meeting on PCCR 090401-1. In attendance Carla Dickinson Pardee and Troy Smith from ATT. Alan Zimmerman and Kit Thomte from Qwest. Alan indicated that he was familiar with this subject. He believed it had been submitted once before but did not have the support of the other CLECs at that time. Alan indicated that he thought some of the CLECs might see the need for this now. Alan stated the issue: In the current environment two usage files containing the same data are sent to two locations. ATT would like to have the file containing message types 01 and 10 split out on one file. The other file should contain message type 11, to be distributed separately. Carla indicated she would take this CR to the next community meeting to propose this change to other CLECs.

November 6, 2001 This letter is in response to the CLEC Change Request Form #PC090401-1. This Change Request requests that the Daily Usage Feed (DUF) be split into two pieces - with local usage (generally Category 1 & 10 EMI records) on one file, and access usage (Category 11 records) on a separate file. Today, both local usage and access usage is sent on a single DUF file for each CLEC. It is fairly straight-forward to separate this usage into two files. To do so requires some small programming changes, as well as some JCL and NDM/Connect: Direct changes for every CLEC that chooses to have their DUF split into two pieces. This would be a medium-sized effort. This CR will be moved to the Systems CMP process in order to prioritize this system work. Qwest would implement this CR in such a way that those CLECs that wish to continue to receive their DUF file as one file (like today) would be able to continue with that implementation. Those that wish to receive two separate files would be able to do so, having those two files sent to two different destinations (assuming connections exist) or to the same destination as the CLEC desires. Any CLEC who would like to have their DUF split in two as this CR requests may send an e-mail to me at azimmer@qwest.com to be included in the deployment of this functionality. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me or call me at the number below. Sincerely, Alan Zimmerman (303)896-8346
