Appendix H - VMS Billing Log Translator (VBLT) H-9
A PPENDIX
VMS BILLING LOG TRANSLATOR (VBLT)
Description
VBLT is a windows console application that converts switch events, stored in
the VMS 3.x event log, into a billing log format. VBLT can be run directly from
the command line console, or using VBLT.ui, a graphical user interface fron-
tend, or as a scheduled task using the windows task scheduler.
Note: If you have unique format requirements for your billing information,
contact your Vipersat representative for details on having a format
conversion program created to meet your needs.
Installation
Copy the two files, VBLT.EXE and VBLT.ui.EXE, into a directory (folder)
where the user has valid write and execute privileges. These applications can be
installed on a VMS server, or a remote Viperview client PC. Only users with
Viperview privileges should run these applications.
Operation
VBLT can be executed in three modes: (1) console, (2) GUI frontend, or (3)
schedule task. Before using VBLT in any mode, it is highly recommended that
VMS 3.x service be active.
When specifying a remote VMS server, VBLT should be run from the same
user account and PC that is hosting the remote Viperview client. This
ensures that the correct security privileges are enabled before executing VBLT.
