Bulk Administration/Insert Phones in CUCM Version 9

[Chrysostomos_CY]

Hi Guys

I used the attached csv file for insert phones in cucm version 9.I recieve errors so it seems that in cucm version 9 the format is different than previous versions , because in cucm version 7-8 this format was correct

Could you give some lights??

Hi Chrysostomos,

Hope life is treating you well "C"

What is the error you receive?

Have you tried exporting a test phone and comparing the fields

to see where the difference may lie?

There are some great tips from Shalu in this nice doc;

There have always been changes in BAT, well, not in BAT itself, but in the fields for phones, the name of the fields, which are new, which are mandatory, etc.

So, it's really not surprising an old file doesn't work

I usually do as Rob says, config a phone and do an export all to compare what's new.

Hi

Might be asking the obvious here, but are you sure you have configured a line on the phone template you are choosing for this BAT job?

Can you screen grab the template if you aren't sure?

Hi Chrysostomos,

The error seems to be pointing towards the Template you

are using in conjunction with the .csv

Try to create a line-template, open the Device Template you  created, and click on the add line option on the left of the page. Assign a template name, and configure  all the settings that you wish to assign to all your DNs that use this  device-template, such as Partition, CSS, VM Profile, Forward CSS's

Cheers!

I didnt understand what you mention

can you send an example?

Thnak you in advance

[Rob Huffman · Accepted solution]

Hi Chrysostomos,

Sory man.....not @ CUCM right now to send any type of example

Go back to the Template you created for your insert testing and look for

"Add a line" or create a new test Template and when doing the config

look for "add a line."

It's because of this error from your post above;

Line number 1 is not configured for Line on the template.

Cheers!

Hey Chrysostomos,

Nice work buddy! I always have to play with BAT

when I'm using it to get my settings perfect before using

it on multiple phones

Cheers!
