CDR Converter
How to use the CDR Converter ?

This page shows how easy is the conversion of CDR messages to XML or CSV with the Marben CDR Converter.

Consider the following CDR syntax in cdrSample1.asn file:

MyModule DEFINITIONS AUTOMATIC TAGS ::=
BEGIN
CDR ::=SEQUENCE {
rc CHOICE
{
transit SET
{
tAC OCTET STRING,
callingSubscriIMSI OCTET STRING,
chargingCase INTEGER
},
mSOriginating SET
{
tAC OCTET STRING,
callingSubscriIMSI OCTET STRING,
tariffSwitchInd ENUMERATED
{
noTariffSwitch(0),
tariffSwitchAfterStartOfCharg(2)
}
}
}
}

The CDR messages are given in a file cdrSample1.ber.

Conversion to XML

Executing the following command will convert all CDR messages to XML and store the result in the output file cdrSample1.xml:

cdrconvert -asn cdrSample1.asn -i cdrSample1.ber -o cdrSample1.xml

Opening the output file cdrSample1.xml looks like:

<CDR>
<rc>
<mSOriginating>
<tAC>04020B</tAC>
<callingSubscriIMSI>32149530978911F7</callingSubscriIMSI>
<tariffSwitchInd><noTariffSwitch/></tariffSwitchInd>
</mSOriginating>
</rc>
</CDR>
<CDR>
<rc>
<transit>
<tAC>01020D</tAC>
<callingSubscriIMSI>32149530392129F8</callingSubscriIMSI>
<chargingCase>69</chargingCase>
</transit>
</rc>
</CDR>
<CDR>
<rc>
<mSOriginating>
<tAC>04020B</tAC>
<callingSubscriIMSI>32149500132532F0</callingSubscriIMSI>
<tariffSwitchInd><tariffSwitchAfterStartOfCharg/></tariffSwitchInd>
</mSOriginating>
</rc>
</CDR>
<CDR>
<rc>
<mSOriginating>
<tAC>01020E</tAC>
<callingSubscriIMSI>3214950013253312</callingSubscriIMSI>
<tariffSwitchInd><noTariffSwitch/></tariffSwitchInd>
</mSOriginating>
</rc>
</CDR>
<CDR>
<rc>
<transit>
<tAC>04020B</tAC>
<callingSubscriIMSI>3214950013253480</callingSubscriIMSI>
<chargingCase>39</chargingCase>
</transit>
</rc>
</CDR>

Conversion to CSV

Executing the following command will convert all CDR messages to CSV and store the result in the output file cdrSample1.csv:

cdrconvert -asn cdrSample1.asn -i cdrSample1.ber -o cdrSample1.csv -f csv

Opening the output file cdrSample1.csv looks like:

;;;04020B;32149530978911F7;noTariffSwitch
01020D;32149530392129F8;69;;;
;;;04020B;32149500132532F0;tariffSwitchAfterStartOfCharg
;;;01020E;3214950013253312;noTariffSwitch
04020B;3214950013253480;39;;;

Opening the output file cdrSample.csv with a spreadsheet application gives:

.tAC		transit
.callingSubscriIMSI		transit
.chargingCase		mSOriginating
.tAC		mSOriginating
