The present invention relates to method and system for managing accounting
information in a mobile switching center (MSC) configured to prevent
abnormal termination of calls in progress and loss of accounting
information due to the abnormal termination of the calls, when system
start-up request from operator terminal occurs due to software exchange,
etc. Each subscriber call processing processor receives a call
termination message from an operation and maintenance processor (OMP) and
main process in the subscriber call processing processor transfers the
call termination message to child processes in the subscriber call
processing processor that currently process calls. The main process
receives a response message for the call termination message indicating
that calls are normally terminated and accounting information is
generated from the child processes, generates final call termination
completion response message and transfers the call termination completion
response message to the OMP, thereby performing a normal system
restart-up procedure.
