[cisco-voip] redirect admin:run sql to a file

Thu May 15 16:12:39 EDT 2008

Wes,

I liked your idea of using backup files because I can process large amounts
of text data assuming data from tables is dumped into csv. However, I must
be missing something or misunderstand. For the world of me I can’t find any
csv files in the tar. There is cdr_repository backup (totally redundant, I
wonder if I can exclude it from the backup) and the only other large file is
‘drf_ontape_backup’. Where should I look for db csv?

Thanks,

Mordechai

Mordechai,

In CM5.x the DRS backup process actually exports to .csv files so you could
grab the .tar file from backup destination and extract the data.

otherwise the only way is going to be axl.  direct queries should not be too
bad, just don't go for complex joins or data modification.

No, not CDRs (which are covered nicely by hourly exports via sftp to a
windows server and from there imported to my off-line MS-SQL for queries
etc).

We have over 10000 users and I am often asked to generate reports so they
can plan MAC and rollout activities. I haven’t tried an AXL query that would
result in a more that a couple of hundreds records, that’s why I am asking
what to anticipate if I want to dump the entire endusers table for example.

Of course, all activities that might impact performance are done off-hours
(after being tested in the lab). 

Regards,

Mord

Hi Mord,

What are you querying that is going to generate 20K records? My only guess
would be CDR data.  If so, doing it from CLI or AXL will have the same
result.  Informix has not been a strong point of the 5.x/6.x platform so I
would also be very concerned about performance impact.  20k records would
very much be an off hours activity.

If you are looking to retrive CDR data then have a look at the CAR
interface.  It includes an item to export CDR's.  Very conventient for a
post mortem analysis.

Regards,
Wes

Wes, thanks for the VERY quick response. In your experience, would there be
an impact if the response generates over 20K records? I am reluctant to
experiment in production and the lab has only a few dozen users/phones.

Regards,

Mord

AXL is preferred interface for any type of systemic updates.  CLI is for
troubleshooting purposes only. The CLI is also subject to change at any time
without notice or warning.  Whereas AXL is at least tested for backward
compatibility.

Hello,

Anyone knows how (if) to redirect run sql command output to a file instead
of screen? 

I can use AXL but am not sure how it is going to handle large volume
response. 

Thanks in advance,

Mord,
