Exporting Provisioning Data
You can use the prov-exp MML command to export the currently provisioned setup of the Cisco PGW
2200 Softswitch in MML-command form to a file or files. This export enables you to copy the
provisioning data from one Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch and set up another Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch
with that same provisioning data or to restore a Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch to a baseline provisioning
environment. See the “Importing Provisioning Data” section on page 3-75 for information on importing
the provisioning data that the prov-exp MML command created.
To export part of the current configuration of the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch to a file, log in to the active
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch, start an MML session, and enter the
prov-exp:tid:dirname=“export_directory_name” command:
Where:
• tid—Types of data. The following list presents the data types:
– config—Core configuration data (signaling services, SS7 nodes), including trunks and trunk
groups. This selection creates the following files: config.mml, export_trunks.dat (created only
when trunks are configured on your system), and export_trkgrp.dat (created only when trunk
groups are configured on your system).
– routing—Routing plans. This selection creates a file called routing.mml
– numan—Dial plans. This selection creates a file for each dial plan that is specified on your
system. The filename depends on the customer group ID for each dial plan; that is, the filename
conforms to the format custGrpID.mml.
– trkgrp—Trunk group data only.
– trunk—Trunk data only.
– all—Entire configuration (all data).
• export_directory_name—Name of the directory to which the data is exported. This directory is a
subdirectory within the /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/cust_specific directory that is established at installation.
For example, to export the core configuration data to a file stored in the /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/
cust_specific/saved_config directory, enter the prov-exp:config:dirname=“saved_config” command:
To export all of the current configuration of the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch to several files, log in to
the active Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch, start an MML session, and enter the
prov-exp:all:dirname=“eport_directory_name” command:
Where:
export_directory_name is the name of the directory to which the data is exported. This directory is a
subdirectory within the /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/cust_specific directory that is established at installation.
When you enter the prov-exp command, the system creates the following files in the specified directory:
• config.mml—Contains core configuration data (signaling services, SS7 nodes)
• export_trunks.dat—Created only when trunks are configured on your system)
• export_trkgrp.dat—Created only when trunk groups are configured on your system)
• routing.mml—Contains routing plans
• custGrpID.mml—One of these files is created for each existing dial plan. The filename includes the
associated customer group ID number.
• GLBL.awhite—Contains global screening data for A-number white lists. Introduced in Release
9.4(1).
