Description Of Change
Modify IMA LSTR Pre-Order function for Facility Based Directory Listings (FBDL) to return listing data parsed. Today, much of the data is returned concatenated. For example, the Listed Name field returns the LNLN, LNFN, Title, DES, NICK, etc. Parsing the data will align with the LSR, EU and DL fields for FBDL. LSTR parsed data will also allow XML users to develop an LSTR RECAP transaction (we currently have 0 XML Providers using LSTR) which will allow them the same capabilities as our IMA GUI - LSTR RECAP. This will allow the Provider to request a LSTR inquiry and then use that data to recap 95% of the EU and DL fields for a Change Order and 100% of the fields for Disconnect and Migration (ACT=W) orders. This will improve FBDL flow thru and reduce the number of rejects that are a result of missing, incorrect

or invalid data entry. In addition to the parsed data, this enhancement will allow all (GUI and XML) users to request listing data by ATN, Caption, SLU, SAC (8XX), NSTN. Today IMA LSTR is restricted to LTN inquiries and this sometimes results in rejects for the Provider, since accounts may have listings at different LTNs and it is common for those to be inadvertently excluded. Another added benefit to the Provider is that they will only have to access IMA LSTR to view listing data where as today they are forced to view DLIS and then go back to IMA to submit their FBDL orders.

Project Meetings

05/19/10 Systems CMP meeting Mark Coyne – Qwest indicated that this SCR is a carryover from IMA Release 26.0. Qwest would like to close this out as well. Mark indicated we could come back to this CR after we take a look at the production support tickets.

Bonnie Johnson – Integra asked if Qwest still had tickets open on these.

Mark Coyne – Qwest indicated that there were tickets still open for 26.0 but that he believed they were not directly related to the functionality for this CR. He suggested we come back to this section.

Mindy questioned whether any CLECs had yet tested and signed off that the CRs full functionality was working and they had been certified it. Carrie Bousfield -Qwest relayed no customer had yet used the full functionality but one customer was going this weekend that would use it. Carrie was pretty sure the full functionality had been tested. Mindy Chapman – Neustar requested the two SCRs remain open until customers have had a chance to use it.

9/18/09 Additional Information Added to CR In review of the IMA LSTR enhancement, the DLIS User Guide was updated. Updates are to correct outdated information and add clarifying information . There are no changes to the DLIS GUI.

3/18/09 Systems CMP Meeting Mark Coyne-Qwest said that this attachment is the IMA 26.0 Prioritization List based on the results of the ranking that was conducted the 1st part of March. Mark said that the total capacity for the IMA 26.0 release is 6500 hours. He said that the LOEs for all 4 candidates is 6497 hours and all will be included in the release.

1/21/09 Systems CMP meeting Lee Gomez-Qwest said that this CR will modify the IMA LSTR Pre-Order function for Facility Based Directory Listings (FBDL) to return listing data parsed. She said that today, much of the data is returned concatenated. For example, the Listed Name field returns the LNLN, LNFN, Title, DES, NICK, etc. Parsing the data will align with the LSR, EU and DL fields for FBDL.

Lee said that another added benefit to the Provider is that they will only have to access IMA LSTR to view listing data where as today they are forced to view DLIS and then go back to IMA to submit their FBDL orders. Jeff Sonnier-Sprint said asked if they would get all the listings for an account. Lee Gomez-Qwest said that they would. Gloria Velez-AT&T asked if the LSTR transaction is applicable to an account that is a CLEC account or would they be seeing a retail account. Lee Gomez-Qwest said that if you have authorization to look at a Qwest account. Gloria Velez-AT&T said that she was trying to understand parsing. Dawn Beck-Qwest said that if you keep the listing we have a process in place to benefit those doing resale. Lee Gomez-Qwest said that the products impacted are LNP with Listing and Facility Based Directory Listing. She said that there is no guarantee that it will match the CSR data because FBDL it not retained. She said that on a Qwest resold account you would be able to see the CSR data.
