Hello,

I'm trying to script the udpate of ~3000 phone description fields in CUCM (8.5.1) using a Perl (5.10.1) script. Thanks to the info on this site, I have enough built to query the CUCM and return info for end user accounts but I'm struggling to move the script to getPhone/updatePhone. Here is the getUser script that I'm using (which was again, thanks to the folks here in the forum):

use warnings;
use SOAP::Lite;
use diagnostics;
my $cucmip = "10.186.78.4";
my $axl_port = "8443";
my $user = "PerlAXL";
my $password = "Pa$$word";
my $axltoolkit = "AXLAPI.wsdl";
BEGIN {
sub SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client::get_basic_credentials {
return ($user => $password)
};
}
my $cm = new SOAP::Lite
    encodingStyle => '',
    uri => "$axltoolkit",
    proxy => "https://$cucmip:$axl_port/axl/" ;

#get info
print "What is the User ID of the user?\n";
       chomp ($userid = <STDIN>);

#axl request
my $res = $cm->getUser(SOAP:

ata->name("userid" => $userid));
unless ($res->fault) {
    print "That users first name is ".$res->valueof('//getUserResponse/return/user/firstname');
    print "\n";
}

else {
        print join ', ',
        $res->faultcode,
        $res->faultstring;
}

If you're able to recommend a way to modify the script to update the description field, it would be much appreciated. I'm a total noob with Perl/AXL if that isn't obvious enough already, but I'm seriously interested in learning these techniques. I'm rolling through "Learning Perl" for the fundamentals but I'm not finding much info to map it to CUCM/AXL/SOAP::Lite. If anyone has a recommendation for reading material, please let me know.

Thanks much,

Marty

Hi,

I don't remember if I've used updatePhone with Perl, but I found a code snippet that adds phones instead. Maybe this helps you on the way?

Kind regards,

UPDATE:

Kept searching and found the info to update the phones. Here's the new script to update the description field of a phone:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use SOAP::Lite;
use Data:

umper;

my $cucmip = "10.186.78.4";
my $axl_port = "8443";
my $user = "PerlAXL";
my $password = "Pa$$word";
my $axltoolkit = "AXLAPI.wsdl";

BEGIN {
    sub SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client::get_basic_credentials {
return ($user => $password)
    };
}

my $cm = new SOAP::Lite
    encodingStyle => '',
    uri => "$axltoolkit",
    proxy => "https://$cucmip:$axl_port/axl/" ;

my $res =
$cm->updatePhone(
         SOAP:

ata->name('name' => 'SEP123456123456'),
SOAP:

ata->name('lines' => SOAP:

ata->name('line' => SOAP:

ata->name('index' => '1'),
SOAP:

ata->name('description' => 'AXLTEST2')
                                                      )
                          )
    );

unless ($res->fault) {
}
else {
        print join ', ',
        $res->faultcode,
        $res->faultstring;
}

The next step is to bring in data from a file/CSV and store the device name and description as variables to update all the phones. If anyone has a recommendation, any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Marty

Update:

I used the split function to grab data from a tab separated text file to accomplish the bulk update portion. Here is the code, which updates about 5 phones per second:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use SOAP::Lite;

my $cucmip = "192.168.10.30"; #Home Lab
my $axl_port = "8443";
my $user = "PerlAXL";
my $password = "Pa$$word";
my $axltoolkit = "AXLAPI.wsdl";

$start=time();

BEGIN {
    sub SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client::get_basic_credentials {
return ($user => $password)
    };
}

my $cm = new SOAP::Lite
    encodingStyle => '',
    uri => "$axltoolkit",
    proxy => "https://$cucmip:$axl_port/axl/" ;

open (FILE, 'CUCM.txt');
while (<FILE>){
    chomp;
    ($name, $description) = split ("\t");
{
my $res =
$cm->updatePhone(
         SOAP:

ata->name('name' => "$name"),
SOAP:

ata->name('lines' => SOAP:

ata->name('line' => SOAP:

ata->name('index' => '1'),
SOAP:

ata->name('description' => "$description")
                                                      )
                          )
    );

unless ($res->fault) {
}
else {
        print join ', ',
        $res->faultcode,
        $res->faultstring;
}}}
close (FILE);

$end = time();

print "That took Perl ", ($end - $start), " second(s) to update\n";

exit;

Thanks,

Marty

Dan,

Thanks for the info! The phone creation process was next on my list so I do appreciate the point in that direction.

Have a great day.

Marty
