Associating a User to a Phone in a bidirectional manner

‎08-14-2018 08:09 AM

I am using Python to automate the User Device association, what I have achieved is making an association of device to a User using the following call:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">  
        <SOAP-ENV:Body>    
          <axl:updateUser xmlns:axl="http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/1.0" sequence="12055">         
            <userid>ar</userid>         
           <associatedDevices>
              <device>SEP12334555D455</device>      
            </associatedDevices>    
          </axl:updateUser >
          </SOAP-ENV:Body>
        </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

But now what I want to achieve is the association UserID in a Phone. is this possible with a single API call? What might the syntax of the XML be?

If you're referring to the 'Owner User ID' field in the phone config, this can be updated via <updatePhone> and the <ownerUserId> element.  Note that the user->device association and the Owner User ID field are used for somewhat different purposes (the latter is mainly an indicator for licensing.)

Want a clarification, when we do a user-device association using updateUser tag, the ownerid, in the Phone config is not set, will a call to UpdatePhone and updating the ownerid complete the process of association.

I am using the following call to associate the OwnerId in a Phone Config and change the Owner from anonymous to user. I am using Python to run the code, it's showing successful updation, but the changes are not reflected in the Call Manager. is there anything I am doing wrong:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">  
<SOAP-ENV:Body>    
  <axl:updatePhone xmlns:axl="http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/1.0" sequence="12055">         
    <ownerUserId>john.doe</ownerUserId>
    <owner>User</owner>
    <name>SEP987654321098</name>
    
  </axl:updatePhone>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Hi,

The value of ownerUserId is uuid, not the name

I changed it as follows

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<axl:updatePhone xmlns:axl="http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/1.0" sequence="12055">
<ownerUserId>User's Uuid</ownerUserId>
</axl:updatePhone>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

You need to get uuid of john.doe as in your sample.

 

Hope it would help you.

 

Regards,

T Doan

I am not able to get the uuid for my user, when I run the query select * from enduser where userid="john.doe".
Is uuid automatically assigned, or we have to feed it manually when adding a user.

Hi,

The uuid will be created automatically after adding a new user.

I used getUser to get the user's details as shown below

//

....

<ns:getUser sequence="1">
<userid>Agent001</userid>
<returnedTags><firstName/><lastName/><userid/>
</returnedTags>
</ns:getUser>

....

//getUserResponse

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Body>
<ns:getUserResponse xmlns:ns="http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/10.0">
<return>
<user uuid="{33CF90D3-7E96-A544-7995-426828546118}">
<firstName>Jane</firstName>
<lastName>Doe</lastName>
<userid>Agent001</userid>
</user>
</return>
</ns:getUserResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

//

uuid is {33CF90D3-7E96-A544-7995-426828546118}. You will use this uuid for updatePhone.

 

Regards,

TDoan

Thanks for the reply. I was able to retrieve the uuid of the user using the syntax you sent earlier. But when I am running the following code, its still not updating in the Call manager. Is there something else, I am missing in the syntax.

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">  
<SOAP-ENV:Body>    
  <axl:updatePhone xmlns:axl="http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/1.0" sequence="12055">         
    <ownerUserId>5D32F080-AC28-294E-39E1-8EB80542667E</ownerUserId>
    <name>SEP987654321098</name>
    
  </axl:updatePhone>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

After Updating my XML below:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

    <uuid>{B2A75DFC-F05E-E12D-A820-164E4D9870A4}</uuid>
    
    </ownerUserName>
    <name>SEPE8B7480316D6</name>
    
  </axl:updatePhone>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

I am getting the Error Message 

Item not valid: The specified User Id was not found 

The user is there in the CUCM, but this error message keeps coming, hope this time I am getting the syntax right.

As a possible solution to my question, my problem got solved when I used the following syntax:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">  
<SOAP-ENV:Body>    
  <axl:updatePhone xmlns:axl="http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/12.0" sequence="12055">         
    <ownerUserName>john.doe1</ownerUserName>
    <uuid>{2B46E9DC-D511-B47B-F1BF-27FB6DAC1ECE}</uuid>
    
  </axl:updatePhone>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Hi,

Would you like to display the UserID on the handset (Phone)?

 

If you want to show the Name on the handset, then you can use updatePhone (lines -> line -> label, lines -> line -> display) and updateLine (alertingName, asciiAlertingName). And if not you can use updatePhone (ownerUserName - uuid) to update uuid of user as well.

 

Hope it would help you.

 

Regards,

Thuy Doan
