User guide

Because there can be multiple IP Phone services with the same name and there is no unique key to
distinguish these services, Import/Export cannot determine which service to update and appends the service
instead.
Note
Before You Begin
If your import .csv file has templates specific to IPMA, make sure that you run the IPMA wizard on the target
server before you carry out the import transaction.
Procedure
Step 1
Choose Bulk Administration > Import/Export > Import.
The Import Configuration window displays.
Step 2
Select the .tar file name in the File Name field and click Next.
The File Name drop-down list box lists all uploaded .tar
files.
Note
Step 3
The Import Configuration section lists all the components of the .tar file. Check the corresponding check
boxes for the options that you want to import.
Step 4
To make BPS update the item if it exists and insert if it does not, check the Override the existing configuration
check box.
Overriding the existing configuration is optional.
In case the files are modified, then the filename and the file format must not be changed during the
update.
Note
Step 5
You can click Select All to select all the options at once, and click Clear All to clear all selections.
Step 6
Choose to run the job immediately or later by selecting the corresponding radio button.
Step 7
To create a job for importing the selected data, click Submit.
A message in the Status section lets you know that the job was submitted successfully.
Step 8
Use the Job Scheduler option in the Bulk Administration main menu to schedule and/or activate this job.
What to Do Next
You can use Override when you are running the same tar file with corrections, after a failed job-run.
When a Cisco Unified Communications Manager server is created, there are database triggers on the
background which create entities such as Conference Bridge (CFB), Media Termination point (MTP),
and so on, automatically. These entities have names like CFB_1, MTP_1, and so on.
When a user exports this information into a TAR file and imports it to a different Cisco Unified
Communications Manager server, then the system creates items such as CFB and MTP. The names on
the new Cisco Unified Communications Manager server may be consistent with the names before import,
or can be different.
