A system, method and apparatus is disclosed for capturing call processing failures
in a telecommunication system occurring at a telecommunication switch control processor
as the failures occur. The system includes a computing system adapted for communicating
with the telecommunication system. The computing system includes one or more computers
having one or more processors for executing logic instructions; a memory associated
with the computing system for storing the instructions; a storage device adapted
for communicating with the computing system for storing data; and a communication
device associated with the computing system for establishing a communication link
between the computing system and the telecommunication system. The logic instructions
are executed by the computing system and cause the one or more processors to establish
a communication link between the computing system and the telecommunication system;
continually capture call processing failure data occurring at the telecommunication
switch control processor; and store the captured call processing failure data to
the storage device. The method includes establishing a communication link between
a computing system and the telecommunication system; the computing system continually
capturing call processing failure data occurring at the telecommunication switch
control processor; and storing the captured call processing failure data to the
storage device. The apparatus includes a computer adapted for communicating with
the telecommunication system, the computer having one or more processors to execute
logic instructions associated with one or more computer software programs and a
memory for storing the logic instructions; a first adapter coupled to the computer
for interfacing the computer to a server; a second adapter coupled to the computer
for continually capturing call processing failure data at the telecommunication
switch control processor; and a communication device coupled to the computer for
establishing a communication link between the computer and the telecommunication system.
