Hi Arnar,

Have a look at the msg-id-type option in the user guide under SMPP, it is for this exact issue :-)

Hi guys,

I've been dealing with an SMSC using SMPP protocol. What happens is that Kannel is not able to correlate the DR with the submitted SMS. It's because the Comverse SMSC sets the timestamp in hex format when the submit is done but when the delivery report is sent it comes as a decimal string possibly with zero padding, i.e.

submit_sm phase:
Adding DLR smsc=smppconn, ts=13bc6b1, src=yyyyy, dst=xxxx, mask=19, boxc=KANNELSMSC

dlr phase:
    Looking for DLR smsc=smppconn, ts=0020694705, dst=xxxx, type=1

and subsequently it states that it doesn't find the message associated with the id!! I've in a quick and dirty manner fixed this by using mysql as a dlr storage so the select and the delete from dlr are now like this

sql = octstr_format("SELECT %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s FROM %s WHERE % s='%s' AND (%s='%s' or %s=conv('%s', 10,16));", octstr_get_cstr(fields->field_mask), octstr_get_cstr(fields->field_serv), octstr_get_cstr(fields->field_url), octstr_get_cstr(fields->field_src), octstr_get_cstr(fields->field_dst), octstr_get_cstr(fields->field_boxc), octstr_get_cstr(fields->table), octstr_get_cstr(fields->field_smsc), octstr_get_cstr(smsc), octstr_get_cstr (fields->field_ts), octstr_get_cstr(ts), octstr_get_cstr(fields->field_ts), octstr_get_cstr(ts));

sql = octstr_format("DELETE FROM %s WHERE %s='%s' AND (%s='%s' or % s=conv('%s',10,16)) LIMIT 1;", octstr_get_cstr(fields->table), octstr_get_cstr(fields->field_smsc), octstr_get_cstr(smsc), octstr_get_cstr (fields->field_ts), octstr_get_cstr(ts), octstr_get_cstr(fields->field_ts), octstr_get_cstr(ts));


This is as stated quick and dirty but solves my problem right now. What I would like to know is if others are stumbling into the same problem and also if some sort of more elegant solution shouldn't be included into kannel, possibly with configuration directive, thus instead of or-ing use conv only when needed.
