Introduction
The billing system retrieves impulse pay-per-view (IPPV) data from
the DNCS database on a regular basis. After retrieving the data, the
ippvManager process on the DNCS creates a file in the
/dvs/ftp/purchaseReportArchive directory that contains a copy of
the data it collected. The file in the /dvs/ftp/purchaseReportArchive
directory of the DNCS, called the IPPV purchase report, is in binary
format, a format that cannot be read and understood. The
parseIppvRept utility was developed to help system operators and
support engineers understand the data in the IPPV purchase report.
