The Accounting Rollover Interval characteristic attribute controls how often the DSA closes the current accounting file and creates a new one, that is, rolls over the accounting file. The interval uses the accounting rollover start time as its starting point. For example, if you set the accounting rollover interval to 6 hours, the first accounting file rollover will take place at the time specified by the Accounting Rollover Start Time attribute, and the second rollover six hours later. Syntax: SET DSA ACCOUNTING ROLLOVER INTERVAL <time> SHOW DSA ACCOUNTING ROLLOVER INTERVAL where <time> is the required interval specified in binary relative time. For example, to make the DSA rollover the accounting file every twelve and a half hours, enter the following: > SET DSA ACCOUNTING ROLLOVER INTERVAL 12:30:00 When the DSA rolls over the accounting file, it generates the Accounting File Rollover event. You can then process the closed accounting files using your decoding and billing utility. On Tru64 UNIX systems, accounting files are stored in the /var/dxd/accounting directory. On OpenVMS systems, accounting files are stored in the directory pointed to by the DXD$ACCOUNTING logical. Note that accounting files are neither purged nor deleted automatically by the DSA. The default setting for this characteristic attribute is 12 hours. This attribute has no effect if the Accounting Facility characteristic attribute is set to OFF.
