VOD transaction error correlator
First Claim
1. A video-on-demand (VOD) analysis server for a hybrid fiber coax (HFC) cable network comprising:
- a query library comprising instructions for;
acquiring raw XOD transaction error data from an XOD server, wherein the raw XOD transaction error data comprises an identifier associating a raw XOD transaction error with a subscriber;
acquiring XOD-related subscriber information from a subscriber datastore;
acquiring VOD transaction data from a VOD server;
a correlator adapted to;
acquire the raw XOD transaction error data by executing instructions from the query library for acquiring raw XOD transaction error data from an XOD server;
determine from the XOD-related subscriber information that a subscriber is not entitled to receive XOD service;
create filtered XOD transaction error data by removing from the raw XOD transaction error data XOD transaction errors associated with the subscriber; and
correlate a filtered XOD transaction error with VOD transaction data to identify a network path of the filtered XOD transaction error.

Abstract
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.
