Setting Up Accounting

The Internet Agent can supply accounting information for all messages, including information such as the message's source, priority, size, and destination.

The accounting file is an ASCII-delimited text file that records the source, priority, message type, destination, and other information about each message sent through the gateway. The file, which is updated daily at midnight (and each time the Internet Agent restarts, is called acct and is located in the xxx.prc directory. If no accountant is specified for the gateway in ConsoleOne®, the file is deleted and re-created each day. Follow the steps below to set up accounting.
