Hello everyone,

I currently know how to issue commands to C-series units for various parameters. An example would be for clearing the call log history on a unit.

via SSH client:
xcommand calllog clear

via HTTP:
http://ipaddress/formputxml?xmldoc=<Command><CallLog><Clear command="True"></Clear></CallLog></Command>


What I would like to accomplish is to use the Configuration Templates (within the Provisioning section of TMS) to achieve the same result.

Under the "Select Advanced Settings" area of a configuration template, you can filter your results based on the system type. In my case, I selected "TANDBERG C-series Endpoint" and then viewed the options.

There were two categories that I tried and they were:

Custom Command
and
Custom Configuration

Next to each of these categories, a blank cell is listed that allows you to enter in a custom sequence. I have tried the following parameters, but have not had any luck:

xcommand calllog clear
command calllog clear
calllog clear


When I look at the "Provisioning Activity Status" page, the error message reads as:

An Xml error occurred. Details: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.


Does anyone know what the format should be for this type of scenario? Also, would I use the "Custom Command" or the "Custom Configuration" category?

Best regards,

Mitch Walcott

you must enter the string as XML... just like your HTTP example  (but without the http://address/  stuff)

So it would be like

<Command><CallLog><Clear command="True"></Clear></CallLog></Command>
