The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The CAR System Scheduler allows you to configure the CDR load schedule and schedule daily, weekly, and monthly reports.
By default, CDR data loads continuously 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and loads only CDR records.
Note |
The default batch size equals 600 CDR or CMR records. The default sleep time between each CDR batch equals 2500 ms and 3000 ms for each CMR batch. You can, however, configure the batch size from the tbl_system_preferences table "LOADER_BATCH" column to have any value between 50 and 2000. |
This section describes how to customize the loading schedule, how to restore the default loading schedule if it is customized, and how to disable CDR loading.
Disable CDR loading when you are installing or upgrading the system. Of course, the CDR data does not get updated when CDR loading is disabled. Be sure to enable CDR loading again as soon as possible. The CAR tool does not affect the CDR generation in Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Tip |
To manually delete the CAR data and reload the database with CDRs. |

This release of Cisco Unified Communications Manager introduces a CAR alarm catalog (CARAlarmCatalog.xml) for the CAR Scheduler.
The following table displays the alarms/alerts in this catalog.
To configure these alarms, go to .
A critical CAR scheduled job failed. An alert gets raised when critical CDR Scheduler jobs and tasks fail (for example, DailyCdrLoad, PopulateSchedules, etc.). |
||
A CAR scheduled job failed. An alarm gets sent for all other noncritical CAR Scheduler jobs and tasks (for example, daily, weekly, and monthly reports, QoSNotification, ChargeLimitNotification, etc.). |
||
Bad CDR or CMR flat file was found during CDR Load to the CAR database. The CDR Loader can detect bad or corrupted CDR and/or CMR flat files and log the specified error. Information on the failure cause (specified reason for the bad record) and the failure summary (tracks number of bad records in comparison to the total records in the file) gets provided. |
||
Indicates debug events from CAR IDS database engine. This alarm provides low-level debugging information from CAR IDS database engine. System administrator can disregard this alarm. |
||
No error has occurred but some routine event has completed in CAR IDS database engine. |
||
This alarm does not compromise data or prevent the use of the system but requires monitoring by the CAR DB adminstrator. |
||
Combined alarm for emergency and error situations. This alarm indicates that something unexpected occurred that can compromise data, or access to data, or cause CAR IDS to fail. |
For additional information on these alarms and recommended action, see the alarm definitions at .
