External billing records server profiles

This list displays all configured billing records server profiles. Billing records are sent to the
servers defined in this list as follows:
 A copy of the current billing record is sent to each primary server. By adding multiple
primary servers you create data mirroring and reduce the risk of a record being lost.
If a primary server fails to acknowledge the record, the controller retries. Once the retry

limit is reached, the record is transmitted to any defined backup servers. Once all retries
are attempted for all backup servers, the record is either skipped, or the entire process
starts again.
For example, if you configure a primary server "Server A" with "Server B" as a backup, with 2
transmission attempts, the following sequence in used to transmit the billing record:
A-[Delay]-A-[Delay]-B-[Delay]-B-[Delay]-A-[Delay]-A-[Delay]-B-[Delay]-B...
To edit an existing profile, select its Name. To add a new profile, select Add New Profile. In
either case you will see the Add/Edit external billing records server profile page.
