Setup DB2
for storing call records

In this chapter you can learn how to configure the Ozeki Phone System XE to be able to store call records using a DB2 database. You will be provided with the installation steps, the configuration details such as the database connection string, database connection type and with the recommended database table layout.

To be able to store calling information to a DB2 database, you need to configure the Call reporter SQL API in the Ozeki Phone System XE in the following way.

During the configuration you should choose the following database connection type:

OleDb

You should use the following database connection strings:

If you use a TCP/IP connection:

Provider=DB2OLEDB;Network Transport Library=TCPIP;Network Address=130.120.110.001;
Initial Catalog=MyCatalog;Package Collection=MyPackageCollection;Default Schema=MySchema;
User ID=MyUsername;Password=MyPassword;

If you use APPC connection:

Provider=DB2OLEDB;APPC Local LU Alias=MyLocalLUAlias;APPC Remote LU Alias=MyRemoteLUAlias;
Initial Catalog=MyCatalog;Package Collection=MyPackageCollection;Default Schema=MySchema;
User ID=MyUsername;Password=MyPassword;

The database connection string have to be modified to match your database. You should use the ip address or the hostname of your database server and you need to provide your username and your password as well.

The connection string and the connection type should be entered on the Call Reporter SQL API configuration form.


Figure 5 - Specifying the connection string for the DB2 database

In the following figure you can see the SQL templates tab of the Call reporting API. Here, you need to provide the SQL queries that will store the main changes of the calls (e.g. when a call started, forwarded or finished).


Figure 6 - Specifying the SQL queries

After the Call Reporter SQL API has been configured in the Ozeki Phone System XE, the only thing left to do is to create the database tables for Call Reporter SQL API. We recommend you to use the following table layout: 


-- -----------------------------------------------------
-- Table `OzekiPBX`.`ozpbxcalls`
-- -----------------------------------------------------
CREATE TABLE `ozpbxcalls` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `starttime` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
  `source` varchar(150) DEFAULT NULL,
  `callerid` varchar(150) DEFAULT NULL,
  `dialed` varchar(150) DEFAULT NULL,
  `destination` varchar(150) DEFAULT NULL,
  `duration` int(10) DEFAULT NULL,
  `callstate` varchar(150) DEFAULT NULL,
  `recordurl` varchar(150) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) 
 

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX INDEX ozpbxcallsindex ON 
                    ozpbxcalls  (SessionID)
