A system and method for analyzing video-on-demand (VOD) transaction errors
in a hybrid fiber coax (HFC) cable network. Raw XOD transaction error
data is acquired from an XOD server. XOD-related subscriber information
is acquired from a subscriber datastore. VOD transaction data is acquired
from a VOD server. A correlator acquires the raw XOD transaction error,
determines from the XOD-related subscriber information that a subscriber
is not entitled to receive XOD service, creates filtered XOD transaction
error data by removing from the raw XOD transaction error data XOD
transaction errors associated with the subscriber, and correlates a
filtered XOD transaction error with VOD transaction data to identify a
network path of the filtered XOD transaction error. A result processor
reviews the correlated transaction error data to determine whether
correlated transaction error data entries are related by a common cause.
