[cisco-voip] Update Specific Line Fields in CUCM 6.1(2) using BAT

Thu May 21 09:24:35 EDT 2009

No,

You can delete a device from the CCM system, which frees up 4-license,
but once added back, the new device will utilize that license.  The
phones take up 4-licenses per device in CCM 6.1.

Hi Jason,
i don't think that i have licensing problems; at least not yet!
I have purchased a new 7816 HW. I bought the node and software licenses.
I then installed DMA at my old HW (7815) running CCM 4.1 and got the
file that i used to install the 6.1.
It is a normal procedure that leads you to have negative licenses.
I know that cannot add any more phone from now unless i send to cisco
the appropriate info of when and how i bought the devices at first
place.
Then, cisco will send me the new device licenses that will bring my
system to zero device licenses.
So, my question is: is there or not going to be a problem if i delete
now a device and then readd it?

	Fix your licensing problems first. If the License Unit Report
web page is reporting negative license units you won't be able to add
any phones. The problem is most likely that the licenses are not loaded,
that the licenses loaded are incorrect, or that there is a bug in
CallManager (in order of the probability I typically see)

	If you go to the License File Upload page you should see at
least three licenses

	Phone Unit - The DLUs for devices
	Node - One unit needed for each CCM server in the cluster
	Software Feature - needed for CCM service to start

	The files will have a long random looking name, and have XML
data inside of them tell you how many units, and of what type those
units are. You can just look at them with a naked eye to verify that you
have enough node, phone unit licenses, and a single software feature
license.

I've seen it with my own eyes... although it was on a cucumber 7 box.

allow this. </soap box> 

		Anyway, I don't know what to tell you - if you delete a
single phone will it let you add it back?

		Hi Goose,
		i am afraid of deleting the devices and reentering them.
Why?
		Because all the device licenses in this CUCM were
produced by upgrading the previous 4.1 CCM.
		In that way, i have a -XXX device units.
		Were the system allow me to delete these devices and
then reenter them?

		Cheers

		There is an UPDATE feature but unless I'm
misunderstanding your request it won't do what you want to do. If you
want to change the external phone number mask field on every line with
an extension that begins with X to 234555XXXX or if you want to change
the forward busy internal destination to 4500 on every phone in a
certain calling search space then the UPDATE tool is perfect. But if you
want it to change the line text label to something different on each
line of 1000 phones (each line text label has  a different value), then
the update tool won't work. Your description of what you are trying to
achieve is vague - I assume that you want to have a spreadsheet that has
something like:

		EXT         NEW LINE TEXT LABEL

		1000       Joe Smith

		1001       Bob Jones

		1003       Ann Johnson

		1307       Mike Regal

		(and so on)

		And then you want BAT to go thru the above file and if
it finds ext. 1000 then it should overwrite the existing line text label
with Joe Smith and then on ext. 1001 replace the existing line text
label with Bob Jones, etc., etc. It won't to this. If this is what you
want I don't know of any other way than either AXL or deleting and
recreating the phones (or updating each line manually).

		If anyone else knows of an easier or better way it I'm
all ears.

		Hi Goose,
		you mean what Dana suggested, is not possible? I will
have to delete the phones before reentering them?
		There is no way to update the phones?

		Thanks

		If you are using BAT you would need to export the phone
information, "massage" it back into a new BAT file (or files) with
required changes, delete the existing phones, and then re-import the
phones from the new BAT file(s). IF YOU DO THIS BE SURE YOU HAVE AUTO
REGISTRATION TURNED OFF otherwise all your phones will auto register
after you do the delete and the new import will fail. If you have a lot
of phones to update, I'll give you a word of advice from experience... I
would suggest you perform this on a small subset of phones first before
you "shotgun blast" a large number of phones.

		If you simply wish to change the Caller ID on x number
of phones from their individual extensions to say the company's main
number you can do so via the UPDATE LINES function (BULK ADMINISTRATION
| PHONES |ADD/UPDATE LINES | UPDATE LINES). You can perform a query that
finds the extensions you wish to change, then in the UPDATE LINES
section check the box next to "external phone number mask" and in the
box enter the main phone number of the company. You cannot, however, do
a query that will parse a BAT file full of something like "current
caller id" and "new caller id" fields getting it to do a glorified
"search and replace". I believe you would need to resort to AXL for
something like that.

		Hi,
		do i have to delete those phones?
		I cannot see anywhere update phones.
		If i try to insert phones that are already registered, i
get an error message.
		Also, i have tried to to inserted lines with bat.xlt but
i get an error message after i click on export to BAT format "compile
error, sub or function not defined"
