Charging for EXTDATA Records

All EXTDATA record types that are derived from SMF type data that may be useful for accounting and chargeback purposes, can be processed by JARS/OLF, the advanced chargeback component of CA JARS, and CA PMA Chargeback, directly. EXTDATA records created from RMF record types are not processed by JARS/OLF or CA PMA Chargeback, since they contain performance data in time interval format which is not useful for accounting and chargeback. EXTDATA records are processed by JARS/OLF and CA PMA Chargeback through the use of IRD's (input record definitions). For each accounting type EXTDATA record created by CA JARS, there is a corresponding IRD supplied with the JARS/OLF and CA PMA Chargeback product, to allow these products to process data produced by CA JARS into these advanced chargeback components. To cross reference EXTDATA record types to their IRD counterparts, see "Appendix C" in the JARS/OLF User Guide, or "Appendix B" in the CA PMA Chargeback User Guide.
