[cisco-voip] Bulk Administration and database fields/limits

[Heim, Dennis]

Database dictionary is your friend. That tells you the validation rules for each field basically.

You should be able to.  Here is one example using the device description field.

2.3.77.15 description (FI-3)
Type: string [512]
Default Value: EMPTY
Validation: ^[^\x00-\x1F""%\\&<>]{0,128}$
Migration Source: DeviceList.Description

Notice on the vlidation line, which amongst things like saying which characters are valid, it also says the max length is 128.

Here is the HTML from the ccmadmin page for my phone.  You can also see that the UI is inline with this maxlength by looking at the input element's maxlength attribute.  This is a simple way of preventing people from typing in too many characters.

<input type="text" onchange="isdescriptionValid(this)" size="50" value="01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567" maxlength="128" name="description" id="DESCRIPTION">

Here is the database telling me that not only was I able to type in 128 chracters into the web page, it actually stored all 128 characters.

admin:run sql select length(description) from device where name = 'CIPCAHOLLOWAY'
(expression)
============
128
admin:

Hope that helps.

I was wanting to looking any header in the Bulk Admin imports and very if it’s a mandatory field, inserts are allowed, default values, etc.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/datadict/9_1_1/datadictionary_911.pdf

eg Display 1        ASCII Display 1


As a workaround I can go to a device and that setting and click Help for this page and look it up, but I was hoping a Searchable pdf was available of just the database fields.
