[cisco-voip] OT: Add move change

[Stephen Welsh]

Hi Lelio,

Kinda, you may still need to know the AXL data structure, however you don’t have to learn the CUCM Data Dictionary as the AXL models effectively ‘flatten’ the raw tables. Also it is a full CRUD interface, with a simple PUT operation you can update just part of phone record (i.e. description, Device pool). You can even copy a resource, i.e.

GET /AutomationFX/api/AXL/phone/SEP000000000001

Then submit the returned AXL model as a POST request to create a new/copy using a POST operation:

POST /AutomationFX/api/AXL/phone/SEP000000000002

Because it has a live testing interface you can perform live queries against CUCM to see what the data/model looks like. The interactive testing interface is there to test/learn the REST api, so that you can then create a script/application that could perform those operation in bulk, or as part of an existing application etc.

Ultimately this is designed to enable simple development against CUCM so anyone with general web development skills can easily create applications (provisioning, testing etc) against CUCM in a similar way that you can do with Cisco Spark.

We shall be posting a number of example scripts/application on the git hub site over the next few months before we launch. So the purpose of AutomationFX may be a bit abstract until we share some concrete examples.

Kind Regards

Hi Stephen,

Does this act a bit like a sandbox tool where I don’t have to learn the AXL library but use a GUI front end to do stuff and it makes the calls appropriately?

Hi,
Co-incidentally we (UnifiedFX) are due to launch something that may be relevant called AutomationFX. It basically exposes CUCM API’s (i.e. AXL & CTI) via REST. You can call the REST API locally or via our ‘CloudFX’ connection from a secure cloud endpoint.

If you have a read over the following page it outlines what AutomationFX can do:

The question I have surrounding this is do you swap mac addresses or do you do a super copy then delete old one?

There are many apps out there, both Cisco and third party, that are tied to the MAC address of the user’s phone.

We’ve seen swapping MAC addresses out is simple and makes sense for most Cisco apps, but for those third party apps that synchronize databases via AXL, it can cause havoc.

I’m leaning towards updating our MAC process to use supercopy and delete old phones as required in secondary systems.

What do other use for add, moves and changes to there environments?

We have a home grown app that is not working well, to notify Telecom group about changes to the phones, new users, configuration changes, etc.

Does anyone know of any can'd or cloud based software?  Are there any that interface with Cisco to automate the process via AXL / SOAP?

Just putting my feelers out to see what is available.

Thanks

Scott
