Enabling Billing Component

The standard Upland AccuRoute server  installation creates a CostRecovery table in the Archive database. When the Administrator enables billing, he/she can optionally configure the DSN to point to the external database and configure the Cost Recovery table.

During an upgrade of the existing servers, the CostRecovery table is copied (schema and contents) into the Archive database as the new CostRecovery table and the Billing component is configured to use the table.  

Use the following procedure to enable the Billing component. To disable the component, see Disabling the Billing component procedure below.
