[cisco-voip] Automatically exporting just the DN and Description fields

Thu Aug 31 21:12:30 EDT 2017

If you really want to dive into the UCM database you can find the data dictionaries in the AXL section of developer.cisco.com<http://developer.cisco.com>.

Thanks!  I wrote that off the top of my head too.  I know there's like 50 more things to know, but if you master those basics, you can figure out the rest with very little additional effort.

I've spent a lot of time in the tables on CUCM, a fair but careful amount in CUC<https://twitter.com/avholloway45633/status/781873225097629698>, very little in UCCX (mostly callcontactdetail), and none at all for other products.

Wow, that’s the best advice I’ve every seen on getting to grips with CUCM’s database.

For the record, the API part is not necessary, you can just run your SQL queries on the CLI.  However, using the AXL API method to run the SQL query for you, allows you to do so programmatically.

As for the database, here are a few key points:

  *   Anything that registers is a Device and is in the device table.

  *   Anything that is a pattern is in the numplan table

  *   End Users are in the enduser table, while Application Users are in the applicationuser table

  *   The database is a relational database, meaning that data from one table will have a relationship to data in another table

  *   Some tables are joined by holding a GUID in their PKID column, which other tables refer to with a column name in their own table, named "fk" + tablename E.g., device.fkenduser = enduser.pkid

  *   Some tables are joined by holding an enum (number) in their enum column, which other tables refer to with a column name in their own table, named "tk" + tablename E.g., device.tkmodel = typemodel.enum (slightly different that fk)

  *   Some data objects are mapped together to form a new object in a third table named: tablename1 + tablename2 + "map"  E.g., devicenumplanmap holds line appearances for phones and DNs

  *   To find a list of table names: select tabname from systables order by tabname

  *   To find a list of columns in a table: select colname from syscolumns where tabid = (select tabid from systables where tabname = 'numplan') order by colname

  *   Sometimes when I don't know what the name of something is in the database, I just access the resource in the web admin, and then look at logs
This tip is courtesy of Wes Sisk: http://cisco-voip.markmail.org/thread/vtoasdkgieadmou3

  *   Other times I just look at the HTML on the web page to find out the name of the field, which is usually the name of the column (99% of the time)

Do you have a quick reference sheet of the field names? I’d like to do something similar to this but also including the RNA timer/destination, user associations, external number mask, and the recording setting for each line.

Really, I’d like to do a run against all my translations, phones, CTI route points, etc to just automagically generate all my documentation, but I have not nearly enough knowledge about hot to use the API or the database structure in general. You wouldn’t happen to have a crash course on all that, would you?

Use the AXL API and the following SQL query to automate this:

select dnorpattern,description from numplan where tkpatternusage='2'

You can put "run sql" before the query to run via SSH to CUCM.

Hi all-

In CUCM 9.12
I'm trying to figure out how to export just a few of the fields from the UCM database.
What we're after is simply the DN number, and the contents of the Description field associated with that DN

I've done a Phone export, and the resulting CSV is so huge it's unusable in Google Sheets.
I know I can set up an Export as a repeated schedule, but I have two questions.

- Can I somehow reduce the export query to a limited set of details about lines only. I don't need phone info particularly.
- Is there a way to transfer the file off the UCM environment automatically, so that it's available to another automated process that will  automatically consume the resulting file and use that data? Right now, I have to manually download the export job file.

Thanks, Tim
