MATRIXX Event Detail Records
MATRIXX Engine generates an _glossary/edr.html for all activities that can trigger rating, such as usage, catalog item purchases and cancelations, recurring cycle processing, or the first use of a balance. MATRIXX Engine also generates EDRs for non-rated events such as forfeitures. You configure event generation in My MATRIXX, including the events to generate and whether to add a custom container with additional mapped fields.

- About MATRIXX Integration
  MATRIXX Integration describes the tools and tasks for integrating MATRIXX functionality in a MATRIXX environment.
- MATRIXX System MDC Definitions
  The /opt/mtx/data/mdc_config_system.xml file has all system MATRIXX Data Container (MDC) definitions, subtype definitions, and relationship definitions.
- Cloud Native Utilities
  MATRIXX includes images that contain utilities to aid in the deployment, operation, and configuration of cloud native MATRIXX installations. You can run these utilities directly or scheduled as cron jobs using the MATRIXX Helm chart.
- MATRIXX Event Detail Records
  MATRIXX Engine generates an _glossary/edr.html for all activities that can trigger rating, such as usage, catalog item purchases and cancelations, recurring cycle processing, or the first use of a balance. MATRIXX Engine also generates EDRs for non-rated events such as forfeitures. You configure event generation in My MATRIXX, including the events to generate and whether to add a custom container with additional mapped fields.
  - EDR Contents
    Event Detail Record (EDR) content is derived from multiple MATRIXX Data Containers (MDCs), including MtxEvent, MtxPrimaryEvent, and MtxSecondaryEvent MDCs.
  - EDRs for Usage
    Usage event Event Detail Records (EDRs) contain information about the quantities used for charging. A network message received for usage can include several usage quantity types; all are recorded in the EDR for the usage event. The information is listed in the MtxUsageEvent EDR in a list field called UsageQuantityList. Each element of this list is a MtxEventUsageQuantity MATRIXX Data Container (MDC).
  - EDRs for Purchases and Cancelations
    Purchase and cancelation events include a record of offer information (OfferInfoArray) and bundle information (MtxBundleInfoArray) when an offer or bundle is purchased or canceled.
  - EDRs for Session End Events
    When the session_end event type is defined in the pricing configuration file and it references the MtxSessionEndEvent MATRIXX Data Container (MDC), a session termination event can be generated when a session is terminated (a CC STOP message is received).
  - EDRs for Object Modification
    Primary objects include subscriptions, groups, devices, and users. Primary objects have a system assigned object identifier (OID) that uniquely identifies the object and is the primary way to specify the object instance. Primary objects can also have an optional ExternalId value. When you modify a primary object, MATRIXX Engine generates an object modification Event Detail Records (EDRs).
  - Customizing Non-Usage Events
    You can map any operation (such as a recurring charge or grant) for an object (subscriber, group, device) to an event (such as a custom MyStatusChangeEvent) and define the fields to be included in the Event Detail Record (EDR).
  - Event Fields
    The following sections describe the event fields.
    - MtxEvent
      Base container for events.
    - MtxPrimaryEvent
      Event data for event initiator.
    - MtxPrimaryEvent Sub-Type Fields
      The following events derive information from the MtxPrimaryEvent.
    - MtxSecondaryEvent
      Event data for event initiator.
- MATRIXX Event Files
  MATRIXX Event Files (MEFs) contain a list of usage and non-usage event types generated during transaction processing. MEFs are meant to be published to, and consumed outside of, MATRIXX, and can be input to third-party applications.
- Subscriber Data
  This section provides an overview of subscriber data relationships.
- Event Repository
  A MATRIXX Engine can optionally load EDRs (Event Detail Records) into the MATRIXX Event Repository, a database separate from the MATRIXX Engine platform that serves as a long-term event storage repository. The Event Repository is an optional component separate from MATRIXX Engine that is implemented in MongoDB (you must purchase and install MongoDB).
- MATRIXX Notification Framework
  This section describes how the MATRIXX Engine publishes notifications to a JMS message broker and how you can customize the information included in notifications.
- Business API Gateway
  The Business API Gateway is a development framework that includes the Business API SDK, Rest Services Gateway (RS Gateway), Gateway Proxy, and application tier. It allows custom mobile applications, web clients, and other custom implementations to integrate with MATRIXX.
- Extending MATRIXX Engine Functionality
  You can extend MATRIXX Engine functionality to capture new subscriber-related data and then use the extended fields as a basis for pricing, rating, and policy decisions. You can also add new Diameter AVPs to capture information from the network and base rating and post-rating operations on this data.
- Data Export
  The MATRIXX Data Export image (data-export) has the data-export.jar utility. This utility uses checkpoint files to transform database contents and MATRIXX Event Files (MEFs) to comma-separated value (CSV) files. This image also creates SQL files for creating RDBMS tables and loading the data from the CSV files.
- Selective Updates
  Selective updates are commands that enable the system to selectively update a MATRIXX Data Container (MDC) as it is processed. They perform basic transformations on the MDCs.
- MATRIXX Toolbox Utilities
  The MATRIXX Toolbox image has scripts and utilities to aid in the deployment and operation of cloud native MATRIXX installations.
- MATRIXX Miscellaneous Utilities
  The MATRIXX Misc image includes utilities and files to aid in the deployment and operation of cloud native MATRIXX.
- MATRIXX Third-Party Analysis Utilities
  You can use the third-party Linux tcpdump utility to capture network traffic for a MATRIXX application.
- General Ledger Records
  MATRIXX generates General Ledger (GL) information for accounts that you specify during rating. It then captures that information in MATRIXX Event Files (MEFs).
