Bulk Administration Tool The Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) allows you to create, edit, and delete multiple user accounts, contacts, distribution lists, distribution list members, unified messaging accounts, branches, or video service accounts by importing information contained in a comma separated value (CSV) file. In addition, it allows you to export information about users, contacts, distribution lists, or unified messaging accounts from Unity Connection to a CSV file. When export operation is running using Bulk Administration Tool (BAT), make sure that there is no delete operation performed using any other tool or API. Note CSV is a common text file format for moving data from one data store to another. For example, importing from a CSV file can be useful for transferring information from a corporate directory to Unity Connection. Transferring the information allows users with voice mailboxes to add corporate directory users who are not Unity Connection users to their address books and to then create call-routing rules based on calls from such contacts. For small numbers of users up to a few hundred, it may be faster and easier to use the Import Users functionality to create Unity Connection users from an LDAP directory. See the Using Import Users and Synch Users Functionalities, on page 42. The information in this section is not applicable for updating user accounts, system distribution lists, or system distribution list members in Cisco Business Edition.
