FACILITY DESCRIPTION
Faktaansvarig - Subject responsible
Therefore, we decided to invent the 4-dimension table,
a table that has really four dimensions. How did we
manage that? We put one table behind the other. Quite
simple!
Mankind always wants to make steps ahead. And so
do we. As soon as we had climbed the step to the 4-
dimension table, we wanted more.
We decided to introduce tables (1) that point at two
other tables (2 and 3). The current day type points at
one column of table 2 and the current time points at
one row of table 2. The number found in table 2 by
means of day type and time points at a certain line in
table 3. And a flag determines whether table 3a or
table 3b shall be used.
All tables (1, 2, 3a, 3b) have a second table – we use
these additional tables if a tenant has special
agreements with a network provider (special price).
So we ended up in x-dimension tables and – most
important – we introduced a new dimension of user-
friendly data maintenance. In some cases you have
just to edit the pointer(s) to adapt the carrier-specific
data to new requirements.
Just keep above mentioned ideas in mind!
In other words
Table 1 is the Call Cost Profile (tenant-specific or
general) [8428 or 8440]. Table 2 is the Cost Time
Scheme (list price or special price) [8445 or 8450].
Table 3a is the Pulse Cost Level Table (list price or
special price) [8455 or 8460]. Table 3b is the Duration
Cost Level Table (list price or special price) [8465 or
8470]. The flag is the billing principle [8403].
The Destination Number Group is stated in one row of
the Call Cost Profile if the carrier supports that
Destination Number Group. The Call Cost Profile [8428
or 8440] points at one of the Cost Time Scheme Tables
[8445 or 8450] and at one of the Cost Level Tables (list
price or special price, pulse or duration) [8455, 8460,
8465 or 8470]. The current day type points at one
column of the Cost Time Scheme Table and the time
points at one row of the Cost Time Scheme Table. Day
type and time find the Relative Cost Level in the Cost
Time Scheme Table. The Relative Cost Level points at
a certain row of the Cost Level Table. Each line of the
Cost Level Table defines initial cost and duration-
dependent or pulse-dependent cost. The flag „billing
principle“ [8403] determines whether the Pulse Cost
Level Table (list price or special price) [8455 or 8460] or
the Duration Cost Level Table (list price or special
price) [8465 or 8470] shall be used.
If the carrier charges the tenant his list price, the
Destination Number Group will be found in the General
Call Cost Profile [8440]. The General Call Cost Profile
points at the Cost Time Scheme (list price) [8455] and
the Cost Level Table (list price, pulse or duration) [8455
or 8465].
If a tenant has special agreements with a network
provider, the Destination Number Group will be found in
his own Tenant-Specific Call Cost Profile [8428]. This
Tenant-Specific Call Cost Profile points at a Cost Time
Scheme Table (special price) [8460] and at a Cost
Level Table (special price, pulse or duration) [8460 or
8470].
