Abstract:
A method for processing call blockage data comprising the steps ofa. stripping a plurality of data fields out of the processing call blockage data;b. separating the call blockage data fields into two separate sets of data designated as an A-Link blockage data set and as a B-Link Blockage data set; said separation into the A-Link data set and the B-Link data set is performed according to values of a link blockage data field of said plurality of data fields;c. processing the A-Link Blockage data to create four blocking line equipment numbers (LENs) for each blockage;d. processing the A-Link Blockage data from step b. again only using a first set of 7 digits of field 3 creating a data set created that is subsequently sorted and counted to create a file of each unique hardware group of 64 LENs referred to as a blocking line unit grid;e. processing the B-Link Blockage data from step b. again using a first 5 digits of Field 3 creating a data set that is subsequently sorted and counted to create a file of each unique blocking line unit;f. checking all blockage data from step a. to determine if any hardware outages caused any of the blockages; andg. presenting all blockages in clironological order by LEN number and also in chronological order by Directory Number;wherein call blockage lines are identified in groups larger than one and any hardware outage contributing to a call blockages is also identified.
