TAP3::Tap3edit - TAP3, RAP and NRTRDE files Encode/Decode library
  http://www.tap3edit.com

  use TAP3::Tap3edit;




  $tap3 = TAP3::Tap3edit->new;
  $tap3->decode("CDOPER1OPER200001")  or  die $tap3->error; 

  $struct=$tap3->structure;
  # $struct is a hash which can be now changed to modify the TAP file structure.

  # After modifying the hash, it can be written into a new file
  $tap3->encode("CDOPER1OPER200001.new")  or  die $tap3->error;




  $tap3 = TAP3::Tap3edit->new;
  $tap3->get_info("CDOPER1OPER200002");

  $version=$tap3->version;
  $release=$tap3->release;

  $taptype=$tap3->file_type;

TAP3::Tap3edit decodes and encodes TAP, RAP and NRTRDE files using ASN.1 format, storing its tree information into a hash.

new:

Constructor, creates a new object.

error:

Returns the last error.

decode:

Decodes the tree structure of a TAP/RAP/NRT file into a HASH.

encode:

Encodes the structure opened by "decode" into a new TAP/RAP/NRT file.

structure:

Returns the Hash with the decoded ASN.1 tree of the file, for further edition.

get_info:

Gets only the basic information of the TAP/RAP/NRT file such as its version, release and file type.

spec_file:

Normaly the ASN.1 specifications files are stored in the "Spec" directory from the installation directory, but this method allows to use a certain specification file to decode our TAP/RAP/NRT file.

supl_spec_file:

The same as "spec_file" but in case of a RAP file sets the specification of its TAP version. Only used for RAP files.

version:

Returns the main version of the TAP/RAP/NRT file.

release:

Returns the main release of the TAP/RAP/NRT file.

supl_version:

Returns the suplementary version of the RAP file (version of its TAP file).

supl_release:

Returns the suplementery release of the RAP file (release of its TAP file).

file_type:

Returns the type of the file, TAP for CD and TD files, RAP for RC and RT files, ACK for AC files and NRT for NRTRDE Files (NR).

spec_path

Contains the default directories where to look for the specification files. It is disired to look somewhere else, add simply the new path to this array.

Decoding a TAP file.

  use TAP3::Tap3edit;

  $tap3 = TAP3::Tap3edit->new;
  $tap3->decode("CDOPER1OPER200001")  or  die $tap3->error; # Remember to check the return values

Changing the structure of the TAP file

  $struct=$tap3->structure;
  # This will change the UtcTimeOffset of the AuditControlInfo.
  $struct->{transferBatch}->{auditControlInfo}->{earliestCallTimeStamp}->{utcTimeOffset}="+0300";

Encoding and saving the TAP file

  # Encode and save the new structure with change of Utc Offset into a new file
  $tap3->encode("CDOPER1OPER200001.new")  or  die $tap3->error; # Remember to check the return values

Getting just the version and release of a tap file

  $tap3 = TAP3::Tap3edit->new;
  $filename="CDOPER1OPER200002";
  $tap3->get_info($filename)  or  die $tap3->error; # Remember to check the return values

  print "$filename->Version: ".$tap3->version."\n";
  print "$filename->Release: ".$tap3->release."\n";

A RAP file is a file containing rejected information of a certain TAP file. This TAP file could be of any release of TAP3. That is why a RAP file has inside two versions: its own one and the version of the affected TAP file. Therefore we need here a main version and a suplementary one (supl_version) for the TAP.

  $tap3 = TAP3::Tap3edit->new;
  $filename="RCOPER2OPER100001";
  $tap3->get_info($filename)  or  die $tap3->error; # Remember to check the return values

  print "$filename->RAP Version: ".$tap3->version."\n";           # E.g. 1
  print "$filename->RAP Release: ".$tap3->release."\n";           # E.g. 2

  print "$filename->TAP Version: ".$tap3->supl_version."\n";      # E.g. 3
  print "$filename->TAP Release: ".$tap3->supl_release."\n";      # E.g. 9

Decode a TAP file with a certain specification file

  $tap3 = TAP3::Tap3edit->new;

  $tap3->spec_file("/home/javier/MySpec/TAP0304.asn");

  # Will decode the test TAP file with the specification of TAP3 release 4.
  $tap3->decode("TDOPER3OPER400003")  or  die $tap3->error; # Remember to check the return values

Delete all the Camel Attachments of a TAP file.

  $tap3 = TAP3::Tap3edit->new();
  $tap3->decode("CDOPER4OPER900028")  or  die $tap3->error;

  $struct=$tap3->structure;

  my $key;

  # Will scan all the calls for Camel attachments.
  foreach $key ( @{$struct->{'transferBatch'}->{'callEventDetails'} } ) {

        foreach ( keys %{$key} ) {

                if ( defined $key->{$_}->{'camelServiceUsed'} ) {
                        $key->{$_}->{'camelServiceUsed'} = ();
                }

        }
  }

  $tap3->encode("CDOPER4OPER900028")  or  die $tap3->error;

Dump the tree of the complete TAP file. You can see the complete structure of the TAP file

  use TAP3::Tap3edit;
  use Data::Dumper;

  $tap3 = TAP3::Tap3edit->new();
  $tap3->decode("CDOPER6OPER700111")  or  die $tap3->error;

  print Dumper ($tap3->structure);
