About the EDR Recycling Features
BRM offers these tools for managing EDRs that Pipeline Manager does not successfully rate:
-
Standard recycling. BRM provides the standard recycling tools as the default EDR recycling mechanism. You use the pin_recycle utility to test recycle, recycle, or delete EDRs that failed to process the first time through the pipeline.
The standard recycling tools include:
-
The FCT_Reject pipeline module
-
The FCT_PreSuspense pipeline module
-
The FCT_Suspense pipeline module
-
The pin_recycle utility
For details about standard recycling, see "About Standard Recycling".

-
Suspense Manager. Suspense Manager is a service integration component that you purchase separately. It offers the most comprehensive and flexible set of tools for managing:
-
Individual failed CDRs
-
Large numbers of individual failed CDRs at once (bulk processing)
-
CDR files containing multiple CDRs (batch processing)
Suspense Manager includes the Suspense Management Center GUI application to:
-
Analyze, edit, recycle, test recycle, write off, archive, and delete CDRs, either individually or in bulk.
-
Analyze, resubmit, write off, and delete batch files of CDRs.
Suspense Manager also includes a set of BRM reports to analyze suspended call records. For details, see "About Suspense Manager".

-
Recycling EDRs for pipeline-only systems. This feature is for systems that use Pipeline Manager but do not store suspended EDRs in the BRM database.
This feature includes the FCT_Recycle and FCT_PreRecycle pipeline modules you use to recycle suspended EDRs. For details, see "Recycling EDRs in Pipeline-Only Systems".
