Configuring Interim Accounting for Services and Subscribers
You can enable and disable interim accounting and set intervals between interim accounting messages for services and subscribers. These settings apply to all subscriber sessions and service sessions. You can override these settings for specific services by configuring an accounting interim interval in the value-added service configuration.
To configure interim accounting with SDX Configuration Editor:
- In the navigation pane, select a directory configuration object for the SAE that you want to configure.
- Select the Miscellaneous tab, and expand the Interim Accounting section.
