[cisco-voip] CM Admin AXL - question about updatePhone/Lines

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

OK - So I wasn't reading that incorrectly. 

There's also the bulk admin tool for updating lines. It's only query based in v7, not sure if you can use a custom file in v8 (although you can use custom file to update phones?). 

It's an option that might get you over the hump if you need to do something quickly. 

Good luck!

Unfortunately there is no way to update the "line appearance" settings 
from that element in AXL, at least that I can see. Items such as 
display name, external phone number mask, max calls/busy trigger, etc. 
look like they can only be altered as children of the <updatePhone> 
tag. 

I'm looking at just using SQL instead, just getting started digging up 
the data dictionary and figuring out the tables i'm interested in.
