CHAPTER 63
Import configuration data
This chapter provides information to import configuration data to Cisco Unified Communications Manager
using the Bulk Administration Menu.
You can only update the existing enterprise or service parameters using import/export. If your import .csv
file has templates specific to IPMA, make sure that you run the IPMA wizard on the target server before
you proceed with the import transaction.

Import configuration to server
You can import configuration data to Cisco Unified Communications Manager using the Bulk Administration
Menu.
To successfully import enterprise or service parameters, you must update the parameter from the Enterprise
Parameter or Service Parameter window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration from
where it is being imported. In this case, when you are in the Enterprise Parameter or Service Parameter
window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, click Save without making any changes
before you run import.
You can only update the existing enterprise or service parameters using import/export. If some of the
parameters are missing in the database, importing the parameter fails.
Attention
You can use the “Override the existing configuration” option to make BPS update an item if it already exists
on the server or insert the item if it does not. When you import phones or User Device Profiles using the
override option, the IP phone services do not get updated but only get appended to the existing set of entities.
