Re: [Serusers] Re: [Serdev] Stop Radius Accounting on Status 404. - sr-users

4 Feb 2005

Hi Omar!

Ser generates the start record when the invite transaction succeeded. 
When the INVITE transcation fails due to a 404, there will be no start 
record (except you account also failed_transactions).

I think I don't understand your setup correctly.

  I need to send the stop record even if there is no
start record as 
 am doing prepaid billing for call to PSTN.  when a UA makes a call,  the 
 raduis athorizes the call throught the billing server.  the billing 
 server opens an active call session for this UA and will only close this 
 session when it recives a stop accounting for the radius server.

 Can I use this command acc_rad_request("stop"); to force SER to send a 
 stop record to the radius server.  I tried it but I get "command unknown 
 or missing module error."

 Thanks

 mohamed.

     Hi Mohammed!

     If there is no call at all (404) why do you want to generate CRDs? If
     you would send a stop record - then there would be no "start" record
     for
     this call.

     If you really want to account failed transcations, use the
     "failed_transactions" parameter from the acc module (README). This will
     produce only a "start" record - no stop record. But this is no problem,
     as the status colum in this case is 404 and you only will bill records
     with status 200.

  How can make SER flags status 404 for accounting

 Am currently doing accounting for calls going to PSTN network and      it's
  working fine if the call is not completed and if
I get an error like
 status 404 then no stop accounting record is sent to the radius      server.

 I would like to force SER to send stop accouting flag to radius      server.

 Can I do this on SER 0.8.14

 /*if (!lookup("location")) {
 *
 /*/ setflag(1);
 // # doesn't seem to be needed, problably because sl_send_reply
 // # acc_rad_request("stop");
 // sl_send_reply("404", "Not Found");
 // break;
 /*

 Thanks.

 Mohamed
