Log files
Multiple log files are created for a single export transaction. One for the overall transaction, and one each for
the items selected for export. These log files display separate results for each item. The log file name is
prepended with the item name, to make it easier to identify the logs.
These files can be accessed from the Job Scheduler page.

Edit .tar File
The tar file comprises a list of CSV files and a header file. Header file can be used to refer to the details of
the server from where the export was carried out and the time when it was carried out. The header file also
has details regarding the files in the package.
You can make changes directly in the exported .tar file after you have exported the required data using BAT.
The exported .tar file is located on the first node of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.
Procedure
Step 1
Choose Bulk Administration > Upload/Download Files.
The Find and List Files page displays.
Step 2
Download the .tar file that you want to update.
Step 3
Un-tar the .tar file to some location on your machine using thetar -xvf command.
The .csv file gets extracted to the location that you specified.
The “tar -xvf” command may not work on a Windows server. TAR and UNTAR operations are
possible in Windows using 7-Zip, which is a freeware available on the World Wide Web.
Note
The name of the .csv file is always the same as the item
name.
Note
Step 4
Use Microsoft Excel to edit the .csv file and save your changes.
You can also use a text editor to edit the .csv file, but Cisco recommends using Microsoft Excel to
edit the .csv file.
Note
Always maintain the same filename and file format for the .csv file. If you add a new file to the tar package,
ensure that the file has the same name and file format as it would have if it is exported from Cisco Unified
Communications Manager. Also make sure that the new filename is added to the Header file.
If you are expecting to add a new item, always try to export that item from Cisco Unified
Communications Manager, even if there are no records for that item. This will create a .csv file with
the correct name and file format.
Tip
Step 5
Re-tar the files using the tar -cvf command while making sure that the new .tar file is saved in the default
common location.
The “tar -cvf” command may not work on a Windows server, TAR and UNTAR operations are
possible in Windows using 7-Zip, which is a freeware available on the World Wide Web.
