[cisco-voip] DP's nightmare

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

In CallManager, do a device search for phones, or whatever search you like. Change the result to provide 250 phones, this injects the results into the query you see in the URL. Then go into the address bar and make it larger. It takes a while, but eventually comes back. I wouldn't do more than 2000.

>> I don't think BAT can export the IP Address; seems to me it only pulls things from the configuration database rather than run time info - would be happy to be proven wrong there though. I think you are on the right track otherwise - need a sorted list of device names so you can use BAT or some other mechanism to update with the new DP.

>> Other way I can think of if you are comfortable with programming is to write a program yourself to use the SOAP interface to poll for IP's from call manager and write that to a file. Actually you could probably do the whole process including updating the DP's in once script. For something you use only once though, it might not be worth the time to write and test it unless you want to learn how to do it or are already really familiar with all the programming pieces.
