Original CDRs are encoded in the format of ASN.1/BER, binary, or text. Before sorting, converting, and merging original CDRs, the CDR processing module needs to decode the original CDRs for ease of handling CDR fields.

• If the decoding succeeds, the decoded CDR data includes the caller number, callee number, CDR type, and so on. Based on the information, the CDR processing module further sorts, converts, and merges the CDRs.
• If the decoding fails, the CDRs that fail to be decoded are regarded as error CDRs. The error CDRs are stored in the default channel separately for analysis in future, so that you can analyze the causes of error CDRs manually or by tools. At the same time the CG9812 server rises a alarm to prompt users.

After sorting, converting, and merging CDRs, the CDR processing module needs to encode the CDRs. Different from CDR decoding, CDR encoding is to encode the CDRs to be in the format of ASN.1/BER, binary, or text. The encoded CDRs can be stored as final CDR files.

Yes you are right Encoded CDRs can be stored as final CDR files.

useful document, thanks
