Before You Begin

Make sure that you set the Cisco CallManager service parameters CDR Enabled Flag and Call Diagnostics Enabled to true (enabled), so that the system can generate CDR/CMR data. By default, the system disables these service parameters. For more information about these service parameters, refer to the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide.

All CAR reports use CDR data. Be sure to have the most current CDR data from which your reports are built. By default, CDR data loads daily from midnight to 5 a.m. However, you can set the loading time, interval, and duration as needed. See System Scheduler Configuration, for more information.

Configuring CDR Search by User Extension

Only CAR administrators use the CDR search by user extension feature.

This section describes how to show the details of CDR data based on a user or extension.


Caution Use CAR only during off-peak hours. Otherwise, data collection and report generation could cause performance degradation on the Cisco CallManager system.

Procedure


Step 1 Choose CDR > Search > By User/Extension.

The CDR Search by User Extension window displays.


Note You can enter a wildcard pattern like "!" or "X" to search on extensions. The "!" represents any n digit having 0-9 as each of its digits, and the "X" represents a single digit in the range 0-9.


Step 2 Perform one of the following tasks:

To search CDRs based on extensions, enter the extension number in the Extension field and click the Add Extension button.

To search CDRs based on user, click the Search Extension(s) based on User(s) link, enter the first few letters of the first and/or last name in the First Name and/or Last Name fields, and click the Search button.

The extension displays in the Selected Extension(s) box.


Note To delete an item from the Report Criteria box, click the Remove Extension(s) button. You can delete all items from the Report Criteria box by clicking the Remove All Extensions button.


Step 3 Choose the date range of the period for which you want to see CDR data for the specified user or extension.

Step 4 Click the OK button.

The CDR-CMR Results window displays. If the search returns more than 100 records, a message indicates that the result will be truncated.
