About Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk
Administration Tool
The Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) is a web-based application that you
can use to perform bulk transactions to the Unified Communications Manager database. You can use BAT
to add, update, or delete a large number of similar phones, users, or ports at the same time. When you use
Unified Communications Manager Administration, each database transaction requires an individual manual
operation, while BAT automates the process and achieves faster add, update, and delete operations.
The Bulk Administration menu is visible only on the first node of Unified Communications Manager server.
Note
Bulk Provision Service (BPS) administers and maintains all jobs that are submitted through Bulk Administration
menu of Unified Communications Manager administration. You can start this service from Unified
Communications Manager Serviceability.
The BPS Server service parameter determines whether the service is activated on a particular server. You
need to activate BPS only on the first node of Unified Communications Manager.
You can use BAT to work with the following types of devices and records:
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs

Page 38
• Add, update, and delete Cisco Unified IP Phones including voice gateway (VG) phones, computer
telephony interface (CTI) ports, and H.323 clients, and migrate phones from Skinny Client Control
Protocol (SCCP) to Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
• Add, update, and delete users
• Add, update, and delete User Device Profiles
• Add, update, and delete Unified Communications Manager Assistant and Managers associations
• Add, update, and delete ports on a Cisco Catalyst 6000 FXS Analog Interface Module
• Add or delete Cisco VG200 and Cisco VG224 analog gateways and ports
• Add or delete Forced Authorization Codes
• Add or delete Client Matter Codes
• Add or delete Call Pickup Groups
• Update or export CUP/CUPC users
• Populate or depopulate the Region Matrix
• Insert, delete, or export the Access List
• Export or import configuration
• Insert, delete, or export Remote Destination and Remote Destination Profile
• Add Infrastructure Devices
When you perform a bulk transaction, limit the number of records to a maximum of 12,000 records. This
applies when you insert, update, delete, or query any records using BAT.
Note
You can also work with these devices in combination with the user information. For example, when you add
CTI ports and users, you can use BAT to “Enable CTI Application Use.” This saves time when you add users
who have applications that require a CTI port, such as Cisco IP SoftPhone.
An optional component of BAT, the Unified Communications Manager Auto-Register Phone Tool, further
reduces the time and effort that is involved in administering a large system. To add a large block of new
phones, you can use BAT to add the devices with pseudo media access control (MAC) addresses instead of
entering each MAC address in the data input file. After the phones are installed, the phone users or the
administrator can call the Unified CM Auto-Register phone Tool directory number, follow the voice prompts,
and download the correct user device profiles for their phones.
If you want to import or export the LDAP configurations using BAT, make sure that the LDAP server supports
the minimum TLS version configured on Unified CM.

Overview
About Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Tool

Page 39
BAT Installation
BAT is installed as part of the Unified Communications Manager Administration.
BAT Data Input Files
Every device includes a multitude of individual attributes, settings, and information fields that enable the
device to function in the network and provide its telephony features. Many devices have the same attributes
and settings in common, while other values, such as the directory number, are unique to a user or to a device.
To condense the BAT data input file contents, BAT uses templates for settings that devices usually have in
common.
For bulk configuration transactions on the Unified Communications Manager database, the BAT process uses
two components: a template for the device type and a data file in comma separated value (CSV) format that
contains the unique values for configuring a new device or updating an existing record in the database. The
CSV data file works in conjunction with the device template.
For instance, when you create a bulk transaction for a group of CiscoIPPhones, you set up the CSV data file
that contains the unique information for each phone, such as the directory number and MAC address. In
addition, you set up or choose the BAT template that contains the common settings for all phones in the
transaction, such as a CiscoIPPhone7960 template.
Perform BAT Configuration Multistep Process
BAT uses a multistep process to prepare the bulk configuration transaction. BAT uses Bulk Administration
menu options to guide you through the configuration tasks. The BAT process includes these tasks:
Procedure
Step 1
Set up the template for data input.
Step 2
Define a format for the CSV data file.
Step 3
Collect the data for each device in the bulk transaction.
Step 4
Upload the data files choosing the relevant target and function for the transaction.
Step 5
Validate the data input files with the Unified Communications Manager database.
Step 6
Submit jobs for execution.
Step 7
Schedule jobs.
Step 8
Execute jobs to insert the devices into the Unified Communications Manager database.
To blank out a field, type "NULL" (without quotations) in the field. Do not leave the field blank.
Note
About the BAT Menu
From the Bulk Administration menu, you can choose one of these device or configuration options:

• Reset/Restart Phones—Locate and reset or restart phones.
• Generate Phone Reports—Generate customized reports for phones.
• Migrate Phones—Migrate phones from SCCP to SIP.
When you choose a menu option from the Bulk Administration menu, the corresponding window opens, such
as the phone Template Configuration window. The configuration window provides the entry fields for defining
a template.
BAT Configuration Templates
As the first task in the BAT configuration process, you set up a template for the devices that you are configuring.
You specify the type of phone or device that you want to add or modify, and then you create a BAT template
that has features that are common to all the phones or devices in that bulk transaction.
You can create BAT templates for the following types of device options:
• Phones: All CiscoUnifiedIPPhones and Cisco ATA 186, Cisco VGC phones, CTI ports, and H.323 clients
• Gateways: Cisco VG200 and Cisco Catalyst 6000 FXS Analog Interface Module
• User Device Profiles: CiscoUnifiedIPPhone 7900 series and Cisco Softphone
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs

Overview
BAT Configuration Templates
Page 41
Define a BAT template by specifying values in the template fields that will be common to all the devices in
the bulk transaction. The BAT template fields require similar values to those that you enter when you are
adding a device in Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Prior to creating the BAT template, make sure settings such as device pools, locations, calling search spaces,
button templates, and softkey templates have already been configured in Unified Communications Manager
Administration.
After you create a BAT template, you save it with a name. Later in the configuration process, you associate
the template name with the CSV data file. The system stores the templates, so they are reusable for future
bulk transactions. For example, you can configure a CiscoIPPhone7960 template with a specific button template
and calling search space and then configure another CiscoIPPhone7960 template with a different button
template and the Extension Mobility feature enabled. When you need to add a large number of phones with
the same configuration, you can reuse the existing BAT template.
Standard Phone Templates
When you are adding a group of phones that have multiple lines, you can create a standard phone template
that provides multiple lines and the most common values for a specific phone model. You can use the standard
template to add phones that have differing number of lines, but do not exceed the number of lines in the master
phone template. For example, you can create a standard phone template for a CiscoUnifiedIPPhone 7960 that
has eight lines. You can use this template to add phones that have one line, two lines, or up to eight lines.
CSV Data File Overrides Template Values
The CSV data file contains the unique settings and information for each individual device, such as its directory
number, MAC address, and description. Make sure that all phones and devices in a CSV data file are the same
phone or device model and match the BAT template. The CSV data file can contain duplicates of some values
from the BAT template. Values in the CSV data file override any values that were set in the BAT template.
You can use the override feature for special configuration cases.
Example Template Override
The CSV data file for phones can contain multiple directory numbers. Keep in mind that the number of
directory numbers that are entered in the CSV data file must not exceed—but can be less than— the number
of lines that are configured in the BAT phone template, or an error will result.
If you want most of the phones in the bulk transaction to be redirected to a voice-messaging system, you can
set the Call Forward Busy (Internal/External) (CFB) and Call Forward No Answer (Internal/External) (CFNA)
fields to the voice-messaging number. However, if a few phones in the bulk transaction need to be redirected
to a secretary instead of to a voice messaging system, you can specify the secretary directory number in the
Call CFB and CFNA fields in the CSV data file. Most of the phones will use the CFB and CFNA values from
the BAT phone template, but certain phones will use the secretary directory number as specified in the CSV
data file.
CSV Data File Adds New Devices
When you are adding new devices to the system, you can use the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that was designed
to use with BAT. The BAT spreadsheet assists you with the following features:
• Data file templates with macros for the different devices
• Customized file format definition
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs

Overview
Standard Phone Templates
Page 42
• Support for multiple phone lines
• Record error checking
• File conversion to CSV format
When you are creating new records, use the BAT spreadsheet, which is named BAT.xlt, because the data gets
validated automatically when you export to the CSV format.
BAT.xlt validates data only for valid characters, data types, and field length for particular fields.
Note
For experienced BAT users who are comfortable with working in a CSV formatted file, you can use a text
editor to create a CSV data file by following the sample text file that is provided on the device insert task
window.

CSV Data File Updates Existing Devices
To modify or update existing phones and devices, you need to locate the records for these devices. BAT
provides two methods for locating phones, gateways, and device profiles. You can search by using a customized
query or by using a custom file.
You can also extract a group of phone records from the Unified Communications Manager database for
inclusion in a CSV data file using the export utility.
Customized Query Searches
BAT provides a window for defining your query criteria. You can choose the specific device model and/or
choose criteria from a list of device details and a list of line details. To locate all devices of a specific device
model, you choose the model but add no other criteria for the search. You get the records for all the
Cisco Unified IP Phones that are configured in the database.
Custom File Searches
When no common attribute to use for a query exists, BAT provides the custom file option. A custom file
includes device names or directory numbers. You can build a custom text file by putting each record on a
separate line. The search gives you all the records that match the criteria.
Export Phone Records to CSV Data File
When you need to move a group of phones, you can use the export utility. You use the export utility to extract
existing records from the Unified Communications Manager database to move them into a CSV data file.
When you move phones, use the option, Export Phones with the All Phone Details. This option generates an
export file that contains records with all the information, including the device attributes, line attributes, and
services, that is associated with that phone. You can also export phone records with specific details when
phones have similar line configurations and you want to use a template.

CSV Data File and Custom File Formats
CSV data files comprise a string of device attributes and information in a comma separated value (CSV)
format. To insert data records into the Unified Communications Manager database, ensure that each data file
is in the CSV format. In earlier releases of BAT, the CSV file had a fixed format with two options:
• Default format—CSV files that have a fixed and limited number of attributes and settings for each device.
• All details format—CSV files that are created by using the export utility and include all attributes and
settings for each device.
The first row of every CSV data file shows the file format by displaying the name of each field that the CSV
file includes. The file format information makes it easier to locate the entry for a specific field in the CSV
data file. For instance, in the following sample CSV file, USER ID represents the fourth field in the header,
and the fifth field in the CSV file for the phone shows “johns.”
To blank out a field, type "NULL" (without quotations) in the field. Do not leave the field blank.
Note
Sample CSV Data File with the Default File Format

Now, you can customize the file format for the CSV data file by using the Create Phone File Format
Configuration window. You can add attributes to your file format that are also in the BAT template. This
allows you to override the template entry with a specific attribute for a device. For instance, you can choose
the route partition attribute for your file format and enter different partitions for each phone in the CSV data
file.
From this window, you can choose specific attributes from Device fields and Line fields
The following device attributes always remain in each file format:
• MAC Address
• Description
The File Format Configuration dialog box makes it easy to choose the device attribute in the Device Field
box and click an arrow to move the attribute into the Selected Device Field box. You can select multiple
attributes at the same time by holding down the Ctrl key.
You can rearrange the order of the device attribute fields and line attribute fields in the file format by using
the Up and Down arrows. You can select an attribute and then click the Up arrow to move the item closer to
the first record or click the down arrow to move the item further away from the first record. You cannot move
line attributes before device attributes or change the order of speed dials.

Associate Custom File Format with CSV Data File
When you are using a text editor to create a CSV data file, you can create a customized file format and then
enter values in the same order as specified by that file format. Before inserting the text-based CSV data file
that uses the customized file format, you must associate the file format name with the CSV data file. You can
associate only one file format with a CSV data file.
Procedure
Step 1
In the Add File Format window, choose the name of the CSV data file <CSVfilename>.txt from the File
Name drop-down list.
Step 2
Choose a file format from the File Format Name drop-down list.
The data in the CSV data file must match the custom file format that is chosen.
BAT Spreadsheet Data Collection for CSV Data File Creation
The BAT spreadsheet simplifies the creation of CSV data files. You can add multiple devices and view the
records for each device in a spreadsheet format. It allows you to customize the file format within the spreadsheet
and provides validation and error checking automatically to help reduce configuration errors. The BAT
spreadsheet includes tabs along the bottom of the spreadsheet for access to the required data input fields for
the various devices and user combinations in BAT.
BAT.xlt validates data only for valid characters, data types, and field length for particular fields.
Note
The CSV data file works in combination with the BAT template. For example, when you choose the Phone
tab in the BAT spreadsheet, you can leave Location, Forward Busy Destination, or Call Pickup Group blank.
The values from the BAT phone template get used for these fields; however, if you specify values for Forward
Busy Destination or Call Pickup Group, those values override the values for these fields that were set in the
BAT phone template.
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs

Overview
Associate Custom File Format with CSV Data File


Page 45
When Unified Communications Manager is installed, the Microsoft Excel file for the BAT spreadsheet gets
placed on the first node database server; however, you probably do not have Microsoft Excel running on the
first node database server. You must download the file from the first node database server to the local machine
on which you plan to work.
Tip
Download the file BAT.xlt file to a local machine where Microsoft Excel is installed. To use the BAT.xlt
spreadsheet to create a CSV data file, locate and double-click the BAT.xlt file. You must choose to “enable
macros” when you open the BAT spreadsheet.
Most of the times when you download the BAT.xlt file to a local Windows machine, you will see a blocked
content warning: "Macros in this document have been disabled by your enterprise administrator for security
reasons." To solve this issue, download your BAT.xlt files in 97-2003 format (.xls instead of the new .xlsx
format). Use this (*.xls) format to create BAT spreadsheets.
BAT.xlt files functions work best on a Windows machine and not on a Mac OS machine. We recommend
you to use BAT.xlt files on a Windows machine.
Note
The spreadsheet displays a set of columns with attribute headings that specify the BAT field names, whether
the field is a required or optional, and the maximum number of characters that are allowed in the field.
Tabs for every device display along the bottom of the spreadsheet. When you click the tab for the type of
device with which you want to work, the columns adjust to display all relevant fields for the chosen device.
For example, to add phones and users all at once, click the tab that is marked Phones-Users.
If the “enable macros” option does not display while you are opening the spreadsheet, a possibility exists that
macro security on the Excel program is set to high. Ensure that Macro security is medium or low for the
macros to run. To set the Macro security to medium, do the following task: choose Tools > Macro > Security
from Excel menu. Set the security level to medium. Close the Excel program and open it again. This action
should give you the “enable macros” option when you open the spreadsheet the next time.
Tip
Next, define the file format for the CSV data file by clicking the Create File Format button. You can use
the Field Selection dialog box to choose items and their order in your CSV data file. When you click Create,
the columns in the spreadsheet adjust to your new file format.
In the first row, enter data for a device in all mandatory fields and any relevant optional fields. You enter data
in a new row for each device.
The system treats blank rows in the spreadsheet as “end of file” markers and discards subsequent records.
Note
After all device records are completed, you export the BAT spreadsheet data to the CSV file format that BAT
must use to perform the bulk transaction with the Unified Communications Manager first node database.
If you enter a comma in one of the fields, BAT.xlt encloses that field entry in double quotes when you export
to BAT format.

Overview
BAT Spreadsheet Data Collection for CSV Data File Creation


Page 46
The system saves the CSV formatted file as a text file to the folder that you choose. The filename format
follows:
<tabname><timestamp>.txt
where <tabname> represents the type of device input file that you created (such as phones, user device profiles),
and <timestamp> represents the precise date and time that the file was created.
Next, you must upload the converted CSV data file (CSV format version) back to the Unified Communications
Manager database server by using Upload/Download Files option in the Bulk Administration of Unified
Communications Manager Administration.

Validate BAT Data Input File
The system runs a validation routine to check for errors in the CSV data file and the BAT template against
the first node database. These checks include the following items:
• Fields, such as description, display text, and speed-dial label that do not have a dependency on a database
table, use valid characters.
• BAT Validate transaction only validates data type, length and relational dependency.
Consider the following example:
MAC ADDRESS,DESCRIPTION,PARTITION
AABBCC112233,Lab Phone,Dallas
If the Partition does not exist, Validate displays an error saying “Dallas is not an existing PARTITION.”
• Number of lines that are configured on a device matches the device template. (Only for Specific Details)
Validation does not check for the existence of a user or for mandatory/optional fields that are BAT defined,
such as the pseudo MAC address.
Procedure
Step 1
Select the Validate File option and choose the name of the CSV data input file, the BAT template for the
device, and the model, if applicable.
The CSV data file should contain all details.
Step 2
Select the validation method.
a)
Choose Specific Details for validating records that follow the Default or Custom file format.
b) Choose All Details for validating records from a file that was generated from the export utility using the
All Details option.
After the transaction completes, click the Log File Name link in the Job configuration window to see a log
file that displays the devices that could not be validated successfully and the error code.

BAT Application Web Browser Considerations
The BAT is a web-based application that requires the use of a web browser. A web browser is a
resource-intensive application that can consume large amounts of system memory and CPU cycles. When a
web browser takes resources away from Unified Communications Manager, it adversely affects call processing.
Possible consequences of using the browser on the same machine as the web server and Unified
Communications Manager include delayed dial tone and dropped calls.

Phone Template
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration (BAT) gives the administrator a fast and
efficient way to add, update, or delete large numbers of phones in batches, rather than performing individual
updates through Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. You can use BAT to work with
the following types of phones:
• CiscoUnifiedIPPhones (all models)
• CTI ports
• H.323 clients
This chapter provides information about how to use BAT to work with phone templates and other IP telephony
devices.
• Add Phones to Database, on page 25
• BAT Phone Templates, on page 26
• Update Jabber Device, on page 110
Add Phones to Database
When you use BAT to add phones and other IP telephony devices in bulk to the Unified Communications
Manager database, you can add multiple lines, services, and speed dials for each phone. You can also add
CTI ports and H.323 clients.
You have two options for creating a CSV data file for phones:
• Use the BAT spreadsheet (BAT.xlt) and export the data to the CSV format
• Use a text editor to create a text file in CSV format (for experienced users)
Procedure
Step 1
Choose Bulk Administration > Phones > Phone Template.
The Find and List Phone Templates window displays.
Step 2

Use BAT phone templates to define the common phone attributes to add a group of new phones. Prior to
creating the template, make sure phone settings such as device pool, location, calling search space, button
template and softkey templates have already been configured in Unified Communications Manager
Administration. You cannot create new settings in BAT.
Find BAT Phone Template
Because you might have several phone templates, Unified Communications Manager lets you locate specific
phone templates on the basis of criteria that you define.
During your work in a browser session, your find/list search preferences are stored in the cookies on the client
machine. If you navigate to other menu items and return to this menu item, or if you close the browser and

Add or Update Phone Lines in BAT Template
You can add one or more lines to the BAT template or to update existing lines. The button template in use
for the BAT template determines the number of lines that you can add or update. You can create a primary
phone template that has multiple lines. Then, you can use the standard template to add phones with a single
line or up to the number of lines in the standard template. All phones or user device profiles in this batch will
use the settings that you choose.
Cisco recommends that you use alphanumeric characters for the line template value, so if numbers are given,
a chance exists of this conflicting with an actual directory number. This would also avoid conflicts with
features such as Call Pickup group number and Call Park number.
The maximum number of lines that display for a BAT template depends on the model and button template
that you chose when you created the BAT phone template. For some CiscoUnifiedIPPhone models, you can
also add CiscoUnifiedIPPhone services and speed dials to the template.

This check box, which gets checked by default for all
phones, indicates that the phone is currently logged
in to a hunt list (group). When the phone gets added

If you are experiencing delayed connect times over
SCCP to remote sites, check the Remote Device check
box in the Phone Configuration window. Checking
this check box tells Unified Communications Manager
to allocate a buffer for the phone device when it
registers and to bundle SCCP messages to the phone.
Because this feature consumes resources, be sure to
check this check box only when you are experiencing
signaling delays for phones that are running SCCP.
Most users do not require this option.
Remote Device
Check this check box to designate a phone as
“protected.” This enables the phone to play a
two-second tone notifying the user when a call is both
encrypted and both phones are configured as protected
devices. The tone plays for both parties when the call
is answered. The tone does not play unless both
phones are “protected” and the call occurs over
encrypted media.
For a detailed description of the secure-tone
feature and the configuration requirements,
see the Cisco Unity Connection System
Administration Guide.

Check this check box to make this device a Hotline
device. Hotline devices can only connect to other
Hotline devices. This feature is an extension of PLAR,
which configures a phone to automatically dial one
directory number when it goes off-hook. Hotline
provides additional restrictions that you can apply to
devices that use PLAR.
To implement Hotline, you must also create a softkey
template without supplementary service softkeys, and
apply it to the Hotline device.

Caller ID for Calls from This Phone
From the drop-down list, choose the calling search
space (CSS) that contains the calling party
transformation pattern that you want to apply on the
calling number when this phone initiates a call.
When this phone initiates a call, Unified
Communications Manager transforms the calling party
using the digit transformations that are configured on
the matching calling party transformation pattern.
This setting allows you to transform the calling party
number before Unified Communications Manager
routes the call. For example, a transformation pattern
can change a phone extension to an E.164 number.
This setting is generally configured when users dial
using a URI instead of digits. Unified
Communications Manager allows calling party
transformations on various patterns when users dial
using digits; this setting provides similar
transformation provision even when users dial using
a URI.
Calling Party Transformation CSS
Check this check box to use the Calling Party
Transformation CSS that is configured at the device
pool to which this phone belongs for transforming the
calling party for calls that are initiated from this

on this phone.
Unified Communications Manager transforms the
remote calling number using the digit transformations
that are configured on the matching calling party
transformation pattern before presenting it to this
device.
For example, a transformation pattern can change a
remote number in E.164 format to a localized version.
Use this setting to transform the remote connected
number for direct calls that are initiated from this
phone. Use this setting also to transform a remote
connected number after you invoke the feature
irrespective of the direction of the call. The
transformation of the remote connected number is
controlled using the service parameter “Apply

Used with the BLF Presence feature, the phone that
is running SIP or SCCP serves as a watcher because
it requests status about the presence entity; for
example, directory number, that is configured as a
BLF speed dial button on the phone.
If you want the phone to receive the status of the
presence entity, choose a BLF Presence group that is
allowed to view the status of the Presence group that
is applied to the directory number, as indicated in the

Note
Forward All Calling Search Space
Choose the secondary calling search space (CSS) from the
drop-down list box.
Because Call Forwarding is a line-based feature, in cases where the
device calling search space is unknown, the system uses only the
line calling search space to forward the call. If the line calling search
space is restrictive and not routable, the forward attempt fails.
Addition of a secondary calling search space for Call Forward All
provides a solution to enable forwarding. The primary calling search
space for Call Forward All and secondary calling search space for
Call Forward All get concatenated (Primary CFA CSS + Secondary
CFA CSS) when Call Forward All is processed. Unified
Communications Manager uses this combination to validate the
CFA destination and to forward the call.

Choose one of the following options from the drop-down list box:
• Default—Use the value that you configured in the Party
Entrance Tone service parameter.
• On—A tone plays on the phone when a basic call changes to
a multi party call; that is, a barge call, cBarge call, ad hoc
conference, meet-me conference, or a joined call. In addition,
a different tone plays when a party leaves the multi party call.
If the controlling device, that is, the originator of the multi
party call has a built-in bridge, the tone gets played to all
parties if you choose On for the controlling device. When the
controlling device, for example, the conference controller, no
longer remains present on the call or if the controlling device
cannot play the tone, Unified Communications Manager does
not play the tone even if you choose On.
• Off—A tone does not play on the phone when a basic call
changes to a multi party call.

Multiple Call/Call Waiting Settings
You can configure up to 184 calls for a line on a device in a cluster,
with the limiting factor being the device. As you configure the
number of calls for one line, the calls that are available for another
line decrease.
The default specifies 4. If the phone does not allow multiple calls
for each line, the default specifies 2.
For CTI route points, you can configure up to 10,000 calls for each
port. The default specifies 5000 calls.
Use this field in conjunction with the Busy Trigger field.
Maximum Number of Calls
This setting, which works in conjunction with Maximum Number
of Calls and Call Forward Busy, determines the maximum number
of calls to be presented at the line. If maximum number of calls is
set for 50 and the busy trigger is set to 40, incoming call 41 gets
rejected with a busy cause (and will get forwarded if Call Forward
Busy is set). If this line is shared, be aware that all the lines must
be busy before incoming calls get rejected.
Use this field in conjunction with Maximum Number of Calls for
CTI route points. The default specifies 4500 calls.

Create Phone CSV Data File Using BAT Spreadsheet
Use the BAT spreadsheet to create the CSV data file. You can define the file format within the spreadsheet,
and the BAT spreadsheet uses the data file formats to display the fields for the CSV data file.
If you enter a comma in one of the fields, BAT.xlt encloses that field entry in double quotes when you export
to BAT format.
If you enter a blank row in the BAT spreadsheet, the system treats the empty row as the end of the file and
does not convert data that is entered after a blank line to the BAT format.
Note
You can use the pseudo MAC address option when adding CTI ports. This option gives a unique device name
to each CTI port in the form of pseudo MAC addresses that you can manually update later using the or the
Unified CM Auto-Register phone Tool. Do not use the pseudo MAC address option for H.323 clients, VGC
phones, or VGC virtual phones.
The pseudo MAC address option automatically generates pseudo MAC addresses in the following format:
XXXXXXXXXXXX
where X represents any 12-character, hexadecimal (0-9 and A-F) number.
The number of lines and speed dials that you define for phones in the BAT spreadsheet must not exceed the
numbers that are defined in the BAT phone template, otherwise, an error occurs when you attempt to insert
the CSV data file and BAT template.
Attention
After you have finished editing all the fields in the BAT spreadsheet, you can export the content to a CSV
formatted data file. A default filename is assigned to the exported CSV formatted data file:
<tabname>-<timestamp>.txt
where <tabname> represents the type of input file that you created, such as phones, and <timestamp> represents
the precise date and time that the file was created.
You can rename the CSV formatted data file after you save the exported file to your local workstation.
You cannot upload a CSV filename that contains a comma (for example, abcd,e.txt) to the server.

guards against learned numbers that overlap with statically configured
directory numbers and number patterns by allowing Unified
Communications Manager to choose the best match of all available routes
for the dial string.
When you mark the number as urgent priority, Unified Communications
Manager routes the call as soon as it finds a match between the dialed
digits and an available route, without waiting for the interdigit timer to
expire (for example, the T302 Timer service parameter).
+E.164 Is Urgent
Enter the number mask to apply to the directory number. Unified
Communications Manager applies the mask to create an +E.164 alternate
number that is an alias of this directory number.
+E.164 Number Mask
Enter the local route partition to which you want to assign this +E.164
alternate number.

Phone Validation Limitations
The validation of phones has the following limitations:
• The validation process only checks for the number of lines that are configured on the template; it does
not check the line numbers that are configured on the template. After running the Validate phones -
specific details job, the administrator sees the following message in the log when the CSV date file
contains more lines than are supported by the phone template: “WARNING: CSV contains more number
of lines than are supported by the phone template.” If blank Directory Numbers and/or blank Speed dials
and/or blank Busy Lamp Field Speed Dials exist, this indicates that the warning message that is displayed
in the summary log file may be inaccurate.
• The validate process does not check whether mandatory fields are specified in the CSV file.
• If IP phone service parameters are specified in the phone text file, the validate process only checks
whether a parameter exists with a name that is specified in the CSV on Unified Communications Manager.
It does not check whether the parameter that is specified is configured on the IP phone service.

Delete Phones Using Custom File
You can create a custom file of phones that you want to delete using a text editor. You can have MAC addresses
and device names in the same custom file, but you cannot have directory numbers in the same file. You need
to create separate files—one file that contains the device names and MAC addresses and another file that
contains the directory numbers.
Do not use the insert or export transaction files that are created with bat.xlt for the delete transaction. Instead,
you must create a custom file with details of the phone records that need to be deleted. Use only this file for
the delete transaction.
Note
The delete action is final. You cannot retrieve deleted records.
Caution

Phone Exports
This chapter provides information about using the export utility to merge records from multiple Cisco Unified
Communications Manager servers onto one Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.
• Phone Record Exports, on page 147
• Exported Phone Record Fields, on page 148
• Export Phone Records, on page 149
• Multiple User Phones to Export or Import, on page 151
• Topics Related to Phone Exports, on page 151
Phone Record Exports
Use the phone record export option to move records from one Unified Communications Manager server to
another. Only export the records that you are interested in moving. You can export the following:
• phone records
• user records
• user device profile records
Optionally, you can edit the CSV file with a text editor. The record format must follow the format that is
specified for that file format. For example, records for phones need to follow the phone file format.
Use extreme care when editing the CSV file. Phones might not work if you insert records that are in the wrong
format.
Caution
You can choose between two file format options when you export phone records:
• Specific Details—For phones that have similar configurations
• All Details—For phones that have different line configurations, such as multiple partitions or calling
search spaces
When you are ready to insert the exported records, the order in which the records are inserted is important.
You must insert user records first to ensure that devices properly associate with existing users.

Phone Line Addition and Updates
This chapter provides information to update line attributes for a specific group of devices or user device
profiles using the Update Lines option. Lines for a phone and a user device profile get updated at the same
time when both are part of the query result.
When a phone is deleted from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, the directory number
remains in the database. To manage these orphan directory numbers, you can use the Update Lines option to
search for unassigned directory numbers and delete or update these directory numbers.
Note
You can add lines to a group of existing phones or user device profiles in the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager database. When you use the template to add new lines, you cannot change phone services or speed
dials. Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration (BAT) ignores those fields on the template
when you add lines to existing devices.

Description
Field
You can configure up to 184 calls for a line on a device in a cluster, with the
limiting factor being the device. As you configure the number of calls for
one line, the calls available for another line decrease.
The default specifies 4. If the phone does not allow multiple calls for each
line, the default specifies 2.
For CTI route points, you can configure up to 10,000 calls for each port. The
default specifies 5000 calls.
Use this field in conjunction with the Busy Trigger field.
Maximum Number of Calls
This setting, which works in conjunction with Maximum Number of Calls
and Call Forward Busy, determines the maximum number of calls to be
presented at the line. If maximum number of calls is set for 50 and the busy
trigger is set to 40, incoming call 41 gets rejected with a busy cause (and
will get forwarded if Call Forward Busy is set). If this line is shared, incoming
calls do not get rejected unless all the lines are busy.
Use this field in conjunction with Maximum Number of Calls for CTI route
points. The default specifies 4500 calls.

Add Phone Lines to Existing Phones Using BAT Spreadsheet
You can create a CSV data file using the BAT spreadsheet to add phone lines to existing phones.
After you have finished adding lines in the BAT spreadsheet, you can export the content to a CSV formatted
data file. A default filename is assigned to the exported CSV formatted data file:
<tabname>-<timestamp>.txt
where <tabname> represents the type of input file that you created, such as phones, and <timestamp> represents
the precise date and time that the file was created.
The system saves the file to C:\XLSDataFiles, or you can save the file to another existing folder on
your local workstation. You can rename the CSV formatted data file after you save the exported file to your
local workstation. If you enter a comma in one of the fields, BAT.xlt encloses that field entry in double quotes
when you export to BAT format.
You cannot upload a CSV filename that contains a comma (for example, abcd,e.txt) to the Unified
Communications Manager server.
If you enter a blank row in the spreadsheet, the system treats the empty row as the end of the file. Data that
is entered after a blank line does not get converted to the BAT format.
Note
Procedure
Step 1
To open the BAT Spreadsheet, locate and double-click the BAT.xlt file.
Step 2
When prompted, click Enable Macros to use the spreadsheet capabilities.
Step 3
To display the fields, click the Add Lines tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet.
Step 4
Select the Phones radio button to add lines to a phone.
You can choose to add lines to a User Device Profile by selecting the User Device Profile radio button.
Note
Step 5
Enter data for an individual phone on each line in the spreadsheet.
Complete all mandatory fields and any relevant optional fields. Each column heading specifies the length of
the field and whether it is required or optional. See Table 10: Field Descriptions for Adding Lines Using the
BAT Spreadsheet, on page 163 for field descriptions.
Step 6
To transfer the data from the BAT Excel spreadsheet into a CSV formatted data file, click Export to BAT

Phone Reports
This chapter provides information about CSV file format BAT reports that you can generate. You can customize
BAT reports for phones and user device profiles but reports for users, managers, assistants, and gateways
have a fixed format and can not be customized.
• Phone Report Generation, on page 175
• Generate Phone Reports, on page 175
Phone Report Generation
Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration (BAT) provides reports to help you manage records
effectively. You can create and save reports that provide information about phones, users, user device profiles,
managers and assistants, and gateway records. You can save these reports with a filename and store them in
a folder on the first node server to review and print.
You can customize BAT reports for phones and for user device profiles to meet your particular needs by
choosing items from a list of device fields and line fields. You can also choose how to arrange the fields in
the report. The system generates the report in the CSV file format. Because reports for users, managers,
assistants, and gateways have a fixed format, you cannot customize them.
Example
You need to have a list of all the directory numbers with their forwarding destinations by phone model. You
can generate a Phone Report for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960 and choose these query details: Device
Name, Directory Number, Forward Busy Destination, Forward No Answer Destination, and Label. You can
arrange the report fields, so the Label field follows the Directory Number field and precedes the two forward
destination numbers.
Generate Phone Reports
You can generate reports for phones and other IP telephony devices.
Procedure
Step 1
Choose Bulk Administration > Phones > Generate Phone Reports.
The Report Phone Query window appears.

Create User CSV Data File From BAT Spreadsheet
You can provide details for adding new users to the Unified Communications Manager database in the BAT
spreadsheet and then convert it in to a CSV data file.
If you enter a blank row in the BAT spreadsheet, the system treats the empty row as the end of the file and
does not convert data that is entered after a blank line to the BAT format.
Note
After you have finished editing the fields to add users in the BAT spreadsheet, you can export the content to
a CSV formatted data file. A default filename is assigned to the exported CSV formatted data file:
<tabname>-<timestamp>.txt
where <tabname> represents the type of input file that you created, such as phones, and <timestamp> represents
the precise date and time that the file was created.
You can rename the CSV formatted data file after you save the exported file to your local workstation. If you
enter a comma in one of the fields, BAT.xlt encloses that field entry in double quotes when you export to
BAT format.
You cannot upload a CSV filename that contains a comma (for example, abcd,e.txt) to the Unified
Communications Manager server.

User Insertions
This chapter provides information to use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration (BAT)
to add a group of users to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
This feature supports only custom files that are saved with the UTF-8 encoding format.
Note
• Insert Users in Unified Communications Manager Database, on page 207
• Topics Related to User Insertions, on page 208
Insert Users in Unified Communications Manager Database
You can add a group of users to the Unified Communications Manager database using a CSV data file. The
field values that you enter in the CSV file for inserting users override the values provided in the user template.
If the credential policy has “check for trivial password” enabled, and the password in the user template is the
user ID, inserting users through BAT may fail if the user ID does not satisfy the necessary criteria for the
trivial password.
Attention
Users can be inserted using BAT with primary extension configured without any devices selected for controlled
devices. To do so, you must pre-populate the DN in Unified Communications Manager before inserting the
users using BAT. The following steps outline the process of pre-populating the DN:
1.
Create range of DNs to be associated for primary extension for users in the DN page.
2.
Create a BAT template with primary extension configured (which should be the same DN's pre-populated).
3.
Insert the users using BAT (as shown in the following procedure)
Before you begin
You must have a CSV data file that is saved in the UTF-8 encoding format and that contains the usernames,
controlled device names, and directory numbers. You can create the CSV data file by using one of these
methods:
• BAT spreadsheet that is converted to CSV format
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs
207



Page 240
• Export utility that produces an export file of user data
When you are inserting users by using an exported BAT file, you might get errors stating “User ID already
exists” for some users that were exported in more than one file. For example, a list of first line managers and
a list of users might both include the same manager user ID.
Note
Procedure
Step 1
Choose Bulk Administration > Users > Insert Users.
Step 2
In the File Name field, choose the CSV data file that you created for this bulk transaction.
Step 3
If the CSV data file was created by using the export utility, check the File created with Export Users check
box.
Step 4
From the User Template Name drop-down list, choose the user template you want to use for this insert.
The User Profile, Controlled Device Name, and Directory Number should exist in the Unified
Communications Manager database. The controlled device name should be entered in full. If it contains
only MAC Address, then BAT displays a non-existing device error.
Note
Step 5
In the Job Information area, enter the Job description.
Step 6
Choose an insert method. Do one of the following:
a)
Click Run Immediately to insert the user records immediately.
b) Click Run Later to insert the user records at a later time.
Step 7
To create a job for inserting the user records, click Submit.
To schedule and/or activate this job, use the Job Scheduler option in the Bulk Administration main menu.

User Updates
This chapter provides information about updating existing user records in the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager database.
• Update User Information Using CSV Data File, on page 209
• Update User Information in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Directory, on page 214
• User Update Settings, on page 215
• Topics Related to User Updates, on page 220
Update User Information Using CSV Data File
You can update existing user information that is in the database using a comma-separated value (CSV) data
file you create using the Bulk Administration (BAT) spreadsheet, or you can update a user file format using
a custom text-based CSV file.
You can retain existing user information and settings that were previously stored in the Unified CM directory.
You do not require a user template for the update users transaction using a custom text-based CSV file. If you
choose a user template, the system takes the fields that are not provided in the CSV from the template for the
update or else these fields are ignored. Also, if you specify another value for fields to be ignored (for example,
#), then the fields with the value # are ignored, because blank is not a value to be ignored for such fields.
The Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) cannot be used to disassociate devices that are already associated to an
end user. If you manually delete a controlled device from an exported end user record and then insert the
modified user record back in to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database as a custom CSV data
file, the insertion appears as successful when you check the job results using Bulk Administration > Job
Scheduler. However, the controlled device is still listed on the end-user page.
Note
Procedure
Step 1
Create a CSV data file to define individual values for each user that you want to update.
Step 2
Use BAT to insert the updated user records that are in the database.

Retain Existing User Information During Update
When you update user records, you can keep values or settings for a user that were previously stored in the
Unified CM directory. You can use a symbol such as“#” for fields where the value must be retained. In the
following example CSV data file, the # tells BAT to keep the Manager field the same as the one that was
previously entered in the DC directory.
userid,#,department,,,123456789012,
To identify the value to use to retain a stored value, use the following procedure.
Procedure
Step 1
Choose Bulk Administration > Users > Update Users.
The User Update Configuration window appears.
Step 2
Notice the Value for fields to be ignored field. When you insert the CSV data file with the updated user
values, you must enter the symbol that you used to retain values in this box.
Step 3
Decide the symbol that you want to use for retaining values.
Step 4
Enter this value that is in the Value for fields to be ignored field into the BAT spreadsheet box.
Step 5
Use this symbol in BAT spreadsheet fields for any values that you want to retain.

Topics Related to User Updates, on page 220
Create User Update CSV Data File Using BAT Spreadsheet
You can create a CSV data file using the BAT spreadsheet to update a group of existing users.
After you add lines in the BAT spreadsheet, you can export the content to a CSV formatted data file. A default
filename is assigned to the exported CSV formatted update users data file:
Update_Users-timestamp.txt
where <timestamp> represents the precise date and time that the file was created.
The system saves the file with a default filename to C:\XlsDataFiles, or you can save the file to another
existing folder on your local workstation. You can rename the CSV formatted data file after you save the
exported file to your local workstation. If you enter a comma in one of the fields, BAT.xlt encloses that field
entry in double quotes when you export to BAT format.

Retain Existing User Information During Update
Page 243
You cannot upload a CSV filename that contains a comma (for example, abcd,e.txt) to the server.
If you enter a blank row in the spreadsheet, the system treats the empty row as the end of the file. Data that
you enter after a blank line is not converted to the BAT format.
Note
The Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) cannot be used to disassociate devices that are already associated to an
end user. If you manually delete a controlled device from an exported end-user record and then insert the
modified user record back in to the Unified Communications Manager database as a custom CSV data file,
the insertion appears successful when you check the job results using Bulk Administration > Job Scheduler.
However, the controlled device is still listed on the End User Configuration window in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration.
Procedure
Step 1
Download and open the BAT.xlt file.
Step 2
When prompted, click Enable Macros to use the spreadsheet capabilities.
Step 3
To add user information, click the Update Users tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet.
Step 4
Complete all mandatory fields and any relevant, optional fields.
Each column heading specifies the length of the field and whether it is required or optional. For field
descriptions, see Table 14: Field Description in BAT Spreadsheet for Updating Users, on page 212.
Step 5
In the Value for fields to be ignored field, enter the symbol that you will use to tell BAT that you want to
keep the value that was previously stored in the DC directory. Enter the same value in the value of the field
you want to retain.
Step 6
To transfer the data from the BAT Excel spreadsheet into a CSV file, click Export to BAT.
The system saves the file to C:\XlsDataFiles\ with the default filename Update_Users-timestamp.txt
or you can use Browse to save the file to another existing folder on your local workstation.
For information about how to read the CSV data file, click the View Sample File link in the Update Users
window in BAT.
What to do next
You must upload the CSV data file to the first node of the Unified CM server, so BAT can access the CSV
data file.

This chapter provides information about setting up manager and assistant phones with either shared lines or
proxy lines for the Unified Communications Manager Assistant. Information is also provided for adding and
updating manager-assistant associations using a BAT spreadsheet, and for creating default and custom CSV
data files for manager-assistants.
You can use the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration (BAT) to manage the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Assistant feature in Unified Communications Manager. You can add,
update, and delete managers or assistants with their associations in bulk transactions.
For detailed tasks and information about Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant, see the Feature

Assistant
The CiscoUnifiedCM Assistant feature works with several CiscoUnifiedIPPhone models and device profiles.
CiscoUnifiedCM Assistant provides two modes for configuring managers and assistants lines for use with
CiscoUnifiedCM Assistant features.
• Proxy mode—The primary manager line associates with a proxy line that has a different directory number
on the assistant phone.
• Shared line mode—The manager and assistant have a shared line on their phones that uses the same
directory number and partition.
You can associate users to devices/phones only if they support UnifiedCM Assistant.

To prepare for configuring manager and assistant phones with UnifiedCM Assistant proxy line support, you
must complete the following tasks:
Procedure
Step 1
Set up and configure UnifiedCM Assistant requirements for your system. Cisco recommends that you use the
CiscoUnifiedCM Assistant Configuration Wizard. The wizard automatically creates the phone templates for
UnifiedCM Assistant manager and assistant, route points, partitions, translation patterns, and calling search
space for the CiscoUnifiedCM Assistant service. To run the CiscoUnifiedCM Assistant Configuration Wizard,
ensure BAT and the wizard are on the same server.
See theFeature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Guide for information
about running the CiscoUnifiedCM Assistant Configuration Wizard.
You can use the CiscoUnifiedCM Assistant Configuration Wizard only one time to set up the UnifiedCM
Assistant configuration requirements for your system. After running the configuration wizard, you
can only view, but not change, your configuration with the wizard.
Note
Step 2
To add new phones and users for managers and assistants, use the UnifiedCM Assistant manager and UnifiedCM
Assistant assistant phone templates that the CiscoUnifiedCM Assistant Configuration Wizard produced on
the BAT server. Use the BAT templates to configure phones for proxy mode only.
Step 3
For existing manager and assistant phones, you can change the manager and assistant phones to correspond
to the UnifiedCM Assistant phone templates by using either of these methods:
• You can use the Add Lines feature in BAT to modify existing phones to resemble the UnifiedCM Assistant
phone templates.
• You can delete the original phones and add new phones by using the UnifiedCM Assistant phone templates
for managers and assistants.
Step 4
After you configure the phones and lines for managers and assistants, you associate the manager and assistant
lines for UnifiedCM Assistant control.

Manager and Assistant Proxy Line Configurations
BAT assigns UnifiedCM Assistant line configurations by mapping the primary manager lines on the phone
to proxy lines on the assistant phone. When you use the UnifiedCM Assistant manager and assistant default
templates that the UnifiedCM Assistant wizard created, you can associate from one to five manager lines on

one assistant phone. For phones that are configured with the UnifiedCM Assistant templates, this example
shows the line configurations when you associate two manager phones to an assistant phone.
Manager 1 Phone
• Line 1— Primary line
• Line 2— Intercom line
Manager 2 Phone
• Line 1— Primary line
• Line 2— Intercom line
Assistant Phone
• Line 1—Primary line
• Line 2—Proxy line for Manager 1
• Line 3—Proxy line for Manager 2
• Lines 4 through 6 are unassigned
• Line 7—Intercom line
Assistant Phone
Lines 4 through 6 remain available for other manager associations.
When you associate multiple managers to an assistant phone, BAT creates proxy lines based on the
order in the CSV data file. BAT creates the first manager-assistant line by assigning all the primary
manager lines as proxy lines to the unassigned lines on the assistant phone. BAT continues creating
individual manager-assistant proxy lines based on the order of the CSV record until all lines on the
assistant phone are assigned or all managers in the CSV record are associated.
When you associate multiple assistants to a manager primary line, BAT assigns assistants to the
manager based on the order in the CSV data file. BAT assigns the primary manager lines based on
the first assistant number of available lines. For example, a manager phone has two primary lines.
The first assistant, who is listed in the CSV data file, has only one available line. Consequently, BAT
associates only one primary line for the manager and one proxy line on all the assistant phones that
are listed in the CSV record.

Proxy Line Example for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant Manager and Assistant Phones
You associate two managers, each with three existing lines, to an assistant phone with six unassigned lines.
BAT sets the following line configurations on the manager and assistant phones.
Manager 1 Phone
• Line 1—Manager primary line (DN is 2355)
• Line 2—Manager primary line (DN is 2366)
• Line 3—Manager intercom line
Manager 2 Phone
• Line 1—Manager primary line (DN is 2656)
• Line 2—Manager primary line (DN is 2666)
• Line 3—Manager intercom line

• Line 1—Assistant primary line (DN is 3333)
• Line 2—Proxy line 1 for Manager 1 (DN is 3455)
• Line 3—Proxy line 1 for Manager 2 (DN is 3656))
• Line 4—Proxy line 2 for Manager 1 (DN is 3366)
• Line 5—Proxy line 2 for Manager 2 (DN is 3666)
• Line 6—Available
• Line 7—Assistant intercom line
Assistant Phone
When you associate a manager phone that has preexisting primary lines, you must ensure that the
number of unassigned lines on the assistant phone equals or is greater than the number of primary
lines on the manager phone. For instance, BAT does not allow you to create an association between
a manager that has a phone with four configured primary lines and an assistant with only three
available lines.

Manager and Assistant Shared Line Configurations
BAT associates CiscoUnifiedCM Assistant line configurations to shared lines that are assigned to the manager
and the assistant phones. You set the shared line mode in the manager’s configuration when associating
managers with assistants.
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs
265
Managers and Assistants
Manager Phone Settings for Shared Line Mode

Page 298
In shared line mode, the manager line corresponds to a shared line on the assistant phone. For example, to
associate two managers with an assistant, you add two lines to the assistant phone that have the same directory
numbers and partitions as the primary lines on the manager phones.
Manager 1 Phone
• Line 1— Primary line (DN is 2355)
• Line 2— Intercom line (optional)
Manager 2 Phone
• Line 1— Primary line (DN is 2875)
• Line 2— Intercom line (optional)
Assistant Phone
• Line 1—Assistant primary line (DN is 3356)
• Line 2—Shared line with Manager 1 (DN is 2355)
• Line 3—Shared line with Manager 2 (DN is 2875)
• Lines 4 through 6 are available
• Line 7—Intercom line (optional)
You can add lines 4 through 6 as shared lines for other managers.
When you add multiple manager lines to an assistant phone, all lines on the assistant phone must use shared
line mode. You cannot mix proxy and shared lines on the assistant phone. Likewise, when a manager has
multiple assistants, all associations must use shared line mode.
When you associate multiple assistants to a manager who has shared line mode, BAT assigns UnifiedCM
Assistant associations only to those assistants that are also using shared line mode.

CSV Data File for Manager-Assistant Associations
When you use BAT to insert manager-assistant associations to the Unified Communications Manager database,
you can add new associations or update existing associations.
You have two options for creating a CSV data file to add or update manager-assistant associations: using the
BAT spreadsheet or using a text editor to create a text file in CSV format.
When you create an association for a new manager, you need to enter a device name. When you update a
manager with an existing UnifiedCM Assistant record, consider these fields optional. BAT does not allow
you to assign the intercom line of a manager to a proxy line for an assistant if the number of manager lines is
greater than or equal to three.

Manager and Assistant Insertions
This chapter provides information to use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration (BAT)
to manage the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant feature in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager. BAT allows you to add IP phones for managers and assistants with either proxy lines or shared
lines.
The CiscoUnifiedCM Assistant feature works with several CiscoUnifiedIPPhone models and device profiles.
CiscoUnifiedCM Assistant provides two modes for configuring managers and assistants lines for use with
CiscoUnifiedCM Assistant features.
• Proxy mode—The manager primary line associates with a proxy line that has a different directory number
on the assistant phone. See the Set Up Phones in Proxy Line Mode for Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Assistant, on page 258.
• Shared line mode—The manager and assistant have a shared line on their phones that uses the same
directory number and partition. See the Set Up Phones in Shared Line Mode for Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Assistant, on page 264.
• Insert Manager-Assistant Associations to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, on page 271
• Topics Related to Manager and Assistant Insertion, on page 273
Insert Manager-Assistant Associations to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager
To insert new manager-assistant associations or update existing associations, you need a CSV data file.
When BAT updates manager-assistant associations, it does not change existing CiscoUnifiedCM Assistant
line configurations for the intercom directory number or associated devices.
The manager-assistant association fails when the assistant phone does not have enough lines to support the
minimum CiscoUnifiedCM Assistant configuration.

Create User Device Profile CSV Data Files Using BAT Spreadsheet
You can create the CSV data file for adding new user device profiles using the BAT spreadsheet. When you
use the BAT spreadsheet to add new user device profiles, you can define the file format within the spreadsheet.
The spreadsheet uses the data file formats to display the fields for the CSV data file.
After you have finished editing all the fields in the BAT spreadsheet, you can export the content to a CSV
formatted data file. The file is saved to C:\XLSDataFiles or to your choice of another existing folder on
your local workstation and is assigned a default filename:
<tabname>-<timestamp>.txt
where <tabname> represents the type of input file that you created, such as phones, and <timestamp> represents
the precise date and time that the file was created.
Procedure
Step 1
Download the BAT.xlt file from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.
Step 2
Open the BAT spreadsheet. When prompted, click Enable Macros to use the spreadsheet capabilities.
Step 3
To display the User Device Profiles options, click the User Device Profile tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet.

Validate User Device Profiles
You can use BAT to run a validation script to validate your CSV data file user device profile records. When
you choose Validate User Device Profiles, the system runs a validation routine to check that the CSV data
file has all required fields, such as device profile name and directory number, populated and checks for
discrepancies with the records in the first node database.
Before you begin
• You must have a user device profile template for the devices that you are adding. You can use a user
device profile template with multiple lines to add user device profiles that have a single line.
• You must have a CSV data file that contains the unique details for the user device profiles.
Procedure
Step 1
Choose Bulk Administration > User Device Profiles > Validate User Device Profiles.

User Device Profile Validation Limitations
The validation of phones has the following limitations:
• The validation process only checks for the number of lines that are configured on the template; it does
not check the line numbers that are configured on the template. After running the Validate UDP - specific
details job, the administrator sees the following message in the log when the CSV date file contains more
lines than are supported by the phone template: “WARNING: CSV contains more number of lines than
are supported by the phone template.” If blank Directory Numbers and/or blank Speed dials and/or blank
Busy Lamp Field Speed Dials exist, this indicates that the warning message that is displayed in the

• The validate process does not check whether mandatory fields are specified in the CSV file.
• If IP phone service parameters are specified in the phone text file, the validate process only checks
whether a parameter exists with a name that is specified in the CSV on Cisco Unified Communications
Manager. It does not check whether the parameter that is specified is configured on the IP phone service.

UDP Generation
This chapter provides information to use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration (BAT)
to set up extension mobility quickly by generating and inserting profiles for all IP phone users. BAT generates
user device profiles for all phones, regardless of the number of devices that the user controls. For example,
if a user controls two devices, BAT generates two separate user device profiles, one for each device and
associates them to the same user. BAT sets one of the generated user device profiles as the default user device
profile for the user. BAT generates user device profiles for all IP phones based on the phone button template
for each phone model.
You do not use a user device profile template or a CSV data file to perform this action. When BAT generates
these user device profiles, they are associated with the user.
Note
• Insert User Device Profiles for User Devices, on page 321
• Topics Related to User Device Profile Generation, on page 323
Insert User Device Profiles for User Devices
You can generate user device profiles for all users.
When you are inserting a file that was generated with the export utility, the export utility appends a numerical
suffix_n for each line that is configured on a phone. For example, an export file with the name
“sales_7960_1_3.txt” indicates that all phone records in this file have lines 1 and 3 configured. Use the
appended suffixes to guide you in choosing a phone template with the correct line configuration during the
UDP profile insertion.
You can use the pseudo MAC address option when adding CTI ports. This option gives a unique device name
to each CTI port in the form of pseudo MAC addresses that you can manually update later using the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Administration or the Unified CM Auto-Register phone Tool.
The pseudo MAC address option automatically generates pseudo MAC addresses in the following format:
XXXXXXXXXXXX
where X represents any 12-character, hexadecimal (0-9 and A-F) number.
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs

Procedure
Step 1
Choose Bulk Administration > User Device Profiles > Insert User Device Profiles.
The User Device Profiles Insert Configuration window displays.
Step 2
Choose an insert method. Do one of the following:
a)
Click Insert User Device Profiles Specific Details radio button to insert UDP records that use a customized
file format. Continue with Step 3, on page 322 and Step 4, on page 322.
b) Click Insert User Device Profiles All Details radio button to insert UDP records from an exported UDP
file that was generated by using the All Details option.
Step 3

Step 4
For the Specific Details option, in the User Device Profiles Template Name drop-down list box, choose the
BAT phone template that you created for this type of bulk transaction.
Step 5
If you did not enter individual MAC addresses in the CSV data file, you must check the Create Pseudo MAC
Address check box. Skip to Step 9, on page 322.
If you do not know the MAC address of the phone that will be assigned to the user, choose this option. When
the phone is plugged in, a MAC address registers for that device. If you supplied MAC addresses or device
names in the data input file, do not choose this option.
Step 6
Select the following options if applicable:
• If you are changing the phone settings for existing phones in the template, check the Override the
existing configuration check box. The user device profile information also gets updated when this check
box is checked.
• If you want BAT to generate and insert user device profile records for all phones based on the user's
current IP Phone, choose Based on devices controlled by users radio button.
• If you want the device to use the generated user device profile as the logout profile, check the Set User
Device Profile as Log Out Profile for the device check box.
Step 7
In the Job Information area, enter the Job description.
Step 8
Choose an insert method. Do one of the following:
a)
Click Run Immediately to insert the UDP records immediately.
b) Click Run Later to insert the UDP records at a later time.
Step 9
Click Submit to create a job for inserting the phone records.
Use the Job Scheduler option in the Bulk Administration main menu to schedule and activate this job.
If any information for a record fails, BAT does not insert that user device profile record.

Device and UDP Line Updates
You can use a query to update lines for devices and User Device Profiles. To update line attributes for a
specific group of devices or user device profiles, use the Update Lines option. Lines for a phone and a user
device profile get updated at the same time when both are part of the query result.
When a phone is deleted from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, the directory number
remains in the database. To manage these orphan directory numbers, you can use the Update Lines option to
search for unassigned directory numbers and delete or update these directory numbers.

Add Lines to Existing UDPs Using BAT Spreadsheet
• You must have a BAT template for this transaction.
• You must have a CSV data file for this transaction.
Use the BAT spreadsheet to create the CSV data file for adding lines to existing UDPs. Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Bulk Administration (BAT) ignores changes to phone services and speed dial
fields in the template when you add lines to existing devices.
After you have finished editing the fields in the BAT spreadsheet, you can export the content to a CSV
formatted data file. A default filename is assigned to the exported CSV formatted data file:
<tabname>-<timestamp>.txt
where <tabname> represents the type of input file that you created, such as UDPs, and <timestamp> represents
the precise date and time that the file was created.
If you enter a comma in one of the fields, BAT.xlt encloses that field entry in double quotes when you export
to BAT format.
If you enter a blank row in the spreadsheet, the system treats the empty row as the end of the file. The system
does not convert data that is entered after a blank line to the BAT format.
Note
Procedure
Step 1
To open the BAT Spreadsheet, locate and double-click the BAT.xlt file.
Step 2
When prompted, click Enable Macros to use the spreadsheet capabilities.

BAT Report Generation
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration (BAT) provides reports to help you manage
records effectively. You can create and save reports that provide information about phones, users, user device
profiles, managers and assistants, and gateway records.
You can customize BAT reports for phones and for user device profiles to meet your particular needs by
choosing items from a list of device fields and line fields. You can also choose how to arrange the fields in
the report. The system generates the report in the CSV file format. You can save these reports with a filename
and store them in a folder on the first node server to review and print.
You cannot customize reports for users, managers, assistants, and gateways because they have a fixed format.
Note
Example
You need to have a list of all the directory numbers with their forwarding destinations by phone model. You
can generate a Phone Report for the Cisco Unified IP Phone model 7960 and choose these query details:
Device Name, Directory Number, Forward Busy Destination, Forward No Answer Destination, and Label.
You can arrange the report fields, so the Label field follows the Directory Number field and precedes the two
forward destination numbers.
Generate User Device Profile Reports
Use BAT to generate reports for User Device Profiles (UDP). The format of the reports for UDPs cannot be
customized.

CSV Data File Creation for Cisco VG200 Gateways
You can create a CSV data file to insert Cisco VG200 gateways and ports in the database. Use either the
BAT spreadsheet or a text editor to create the CSV data file.

Create CSV Data Files for Cisco VG200 Gateways and T1 CAS, T1 PRI, E1 PRI,
FXS or FXO Ports Using BAT Spreadsheet
Use the BAT spreadsheet to create the CSV data file that contains the details, such as domain name, MGCP
description, and port identifier, for individual T1 CAS, T1 PRI, E1 PRI, FXS or FXO ports.
For T1 CAS only, the ports that you specify in the BAT spreadsheet must be the same ports that you specified
in the VG200 template. In the CSV data file, you can specify none, some, or all ports that were configured in
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs
427

Page 460
the template. Do not configure any ports in the CSV data file that were not also configured in the template,
or an error will result when you attempt to insert the BAT VG200 template and the CSV file.
For example, if you configured ports 1,2,3, and 4 in the template, you could configure none of the ports, or
ports 1, 2, 3, and 4, or only ports 1 and 2 in the CSV file, and the insertion would be accepted. But if you
configured ports 5 and 6 in the CSV file when they are not configured in the template, you will receive an
insertion error in BAT.
After you are finished editing the fields for the gateway ports in the BAT spreadsheet, export the file. The
system saves the file to C:\XLSDataFiles or to your choice of another existing folder on your local
workstation using the following default filename:
VG200Gateways#timestamp.txt
where "timestamp" represents the precise date and time that the file was created.
If you enter a comma in one of the fields, BAT.xlt encloses that field entry in double quotes when you export
to BAT format. If you enter a blank row in the spreadsheet, the system treats the empty row as the end of the
file. Data that is entered after a blank line does not get converted to the BAT format.
Attention
Procedure
Step 1
To open the BAT spreadsheet, locate and double-click BAT.xlt file
Step 2
When prompted, click Enable Macros to use the spreadsheet capabilities.
Step 3
Click the VG200 T1-Pri T1-Cas E1-Pri FXSFXO tab.
Step 4
For T1 CAS endpoints only, scroll to the right until you see the Number of Port Identifiers field. Enter the

Client Matter Codes and Forced Authorization
Codes
This chapter provides information about using BAT to configure Forced Authorization Codes (FAC) and
Client Matter Codes (CMC). You can create, update, delete, or add more CMC or FAC settings using either
a CSV data file or a custom text-based CSV file.
• CMC and FAC Setup Using BAT, on page 461

• Topics Related to CMC and FAC Configuration, on page 467
CMC and FAC Setup Using BAT
Forced Authorization Codes (FAC) and Client Matter Codes (CMC) allow you to manage call access and
accounting. CMC assists with call accounting and billing for billable clients, while Forced Authorization
Codes regulate the types of calls that certain users can place.
Client Matter Codes force the user to enter a code to specify that the call relates to a specific client matter.
You can assign client matter codes to customers, students, or other populations for call accounting and billing
purposes. The Forced Authorization Codes feature forces the user to enter a valid authorization code before
the call completes.
The CMC and FAC features require that you make changes to route patterns and update your dial plan
documents to reflect that you enabled or disabled FAC and/or CMC for each route pattern.
Before you use BAT to configure CMC or FAC, review the following information:
• Create separate CSV files for CMC and FAC. Do not mix the two features in a single CSV file.
• When you add CMC or FAC settings for the first time, you can create a CSV file through BAT.xlt or
create a custom text-based CSV file.
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs
461

Page 494
• To update, delete, or add more CMC or FAC settings (not first time), you can edit an existing CSV file
or create a custom text-based CSV file.
• In the file/spreadsheet, do not enter two or more codes (and corresponding settings) on a single line.
Designate a single line for each code (and corresponding setting). For example, use the following format
when you enter codes for Forced Authorization Codes:
(Authorization Code, Authorization Code Name, Authorization Level)
1234,John Smith,20
1235,Lisa Mendez,10
5551,Debbie Dunn,30
• Deleting information from a file and leaving the information blank does not remove the information from
the database; in other words, a blank value does not overwrite an existing value in the database. Updating
the values overwrites the existing value in the database.
• Make sure that you upload the appropriate CSV files to the first node of the server.
• Any time that you create or change a CSV file, you must insert the CSV file in BAT to update the
database.

Create CMC and FAC CSV Data File Using BAT.xlt
You can create the CSV file for CMC or FAC using the BAT spreadsheet BAT.xlt. You must create two
separate CSV files, one for CMC and one for FAC.
The BAT.xlt file exists on the first node of the server; however, you normally do not have Microsoft Excel
installed on the server. In that case, copy the file from the first node and move it to a local machine that has
Microsoft Excel installed.
Note
Before you begin
Review important considerations in CMC and FAC Setup Using BAT, on page 461 before you use BAT to
configure CMC or FAC.
Procedure
Step 1
Choose Bulk Administration > Upload/Download Files.
The Find and List Files window opens.
Step 2
Click Find and download the BAT.xlt file.
Step 3
Copy BAT.xlt to a local machine where Microsoft Excel is installed.
Step 4
To open the BAT Spreadsheet, locate and double-click the BAT.xlt file.
Step 5
When prompted, click Enable Macros to use the spreadsheet capabilities.
Step 6
Click one of the following tabs:
• Insert CMC—If you are creating a CMC CSV file
• Insert FAC—If you are creating a FAC CSV file
Step 7
Enter CMC or FAC settings in the columns.
See Table 45: Configuration Settings for CMC and FAC, on page 465 for descriptions of configuration settings.
Repeat Step 7, on page 463 until you enter all codes.

CSV Data File Creation for Client Matter Codes and Forced
Authorization Codes Using Text Editor
You can use a text editor to create the text-based CSV data file for client matter codes and forced authorization
codes. The comma separated values (CSV) file provides textual information in tabular form and contains lines
of ASCII text with values separated by commas.
Related Topics
Create Custom Text-Based CSV Files for Client Matter Codes and Forced Authorized Codes, on page
660
Topics Related to CMC and FAC Configuration, on page 467
Edit Existing CMC or FAC CSV Data File
You update existing codes by manually updating an existing CSV file or creating a new CSV file using a text
editor.
If you are updating a CMC CSV file, for example, you may enter 5555,Acme Toys, where 5555 equals the
mandatory client matter code, and Acme Toys equals the description.
If you are updating a FAC CSV file, for example, you may enter 1234,John Smith,20, where 1234 equals the
forced authorization code, John Smith equals the authorization code name, and 20 equals the authorization
level.
You can change any part of an existing record, but you must include the code; for example, the forced
authorization code or client matter code. Deleting information and leaving it blank does not remove the
information from the database; a blank value does not overwrite an existing value in the database, but, updating
the value, for example, to Acme Toys, Inc. or John L. Smith from the preceding examples, overwrites the
existing value in the database.
Procedure
Step 1
To edit existing CSV data files, download the CSV files from the first node of the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager server to your local workstation.
Step 2
Open and edit the existing CSV file using a text editor.

If you add new codes at the same time that you update them, make sure that you enter all required
information.
A blank value does not overwrite an existing value in the database, but updating the value overwrites
the existing value in the database.
Caution
What to do next

CMC and FAC CSV Data File Settings
The following table provides descriptions of the configuration settings in the CMC and FAC CSV data files.
Table 45: Configuration Settings for CMC and FAC
Description
Setting/Column
For CMC CSV file
Enter a unique code of no more than 16 digits that the
user will enter when placing a call. The client matter
code displays in the CDRs for calls that use this code.
Client Matter Code
This optional field helps you associate a client code with
a client. The description can include up to 50 characters
in any language, but it cannot include double-quotes ("),
percentage sign (%), ampersand (&), back-slash (), or
angle brackets (<>).
Description
For FAC CSV File
Enter a unique authorization code that is no more than
16 digits. The user enters this code when the user places
a call through a FAC-enabled route pattern.
Authorization Code
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs
465
Forced Authorization Codes and Client Matter Codes
CMC and FAC CSV Data File Settings
Page 498
Description
Setting/Column
Enter a unique name that is no more than 50 characters.
The authorization code name ties the authorization code
to a specific user or group of users; this name displays
in the CDRs for calls that use this code.
If you plan to assign an authorization code to
every user in the system, make sure that the code
name includes an identifier for the user, such as
the user name or another unique, non-sensitive
identifier; for example, an email alias or
employee/student number. Do not use identifiers
such as a social security number because the
authorization code name writes to CDRs, which
are not secure.
Tip
Authorization Code Name
Enter a three-digit authorization level that exists within
the range of 0 to 255; the default equals 0. The level that
you assign to the authorization code determines whether
the user can route calls through FAC-enabled route
patterns. To successfully route a call, the user
authorization level must equal or be greater than the
authorization level that is specified for the route pattern
for the call.
Authorization Level

Manage Call Pickup Groups
This chapter provides information to set up call pickup groups using BAT. Call pickup allows you to pick up
incoming calls within your own groups or in other groups when you dial the appropriate pickup group number.

Call Pickup Group Setup Using BAT
Before you use BAT to set up call pickup groups, review the following information:
• When you add call pickup group settings for the first time, you can create a CSV file through BAT.xlt
or create a custom, text-based CSV file.
• To update call pickup group settings, you can edit an existing CSV file or create a custom, text-based
CSV file.
• Designate a single line for each pickup group name (and corresponding setting). For example, use the
following format when you enter information for pickup groups:
• (Pickup Group Name, Pickup Group Number, Partition, Other Pickup Group Name-Member1...
Other Pickup Group Name-Member10)
• Marketing,7815,Part1,Marketing,Managers,Training
• When you add new pickup groups, you must complete all required fields like the pickup group name
and pickup group number. If the procedure specifies an entry as mandatory, you must provide the
information in the file.
• Deleting information from a file and leaving the information blank does not remove the information from
the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database; in other words, a blank value does not overwrite
an existing value in the database. Updating the values overwrites the existing value in the database.
• Upload the appropriate CSV files to the first node of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster.
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs
475

Page 508
• Any time that you create or change a CSV file, you must insert the CSV file in BAT to update the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager database.
Create Call Pickup Group CSV Data File Using BAT.xlt
You can create the CSV file for call pickup groups using the BAT spreadsheet BAT.xlt.
The BAT.xlt file exists on the first node of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server; however, you
normally do not have Microsoft Excel installed on the server. In that case, copy the file from the first node
and move it to a local machine that has Microsoft Excel installed.
Note
Before you begin
Review important considerations in Call Pickup Group Setup Using BAT, on page 475 before you use BAT
to configure call pickup.
Procedure
Step 1
Choose Bulk Administration > Upload/Download Files.
The Find and List Files window opens.
Step 2
Click Find and download the BAT.xlt file.
Step 3
Copy BAT.xlt to a local machine where Microsoft Excel is installed.
Step 4
To open the BAT Spreadsheet, locate and double-click the BAT.xlt file.
Step 5
When prompted, click Enable Macros to use the spreadsheet capabilities.
Step 6
Click the Call Pickup Group tab.
Step 7
Enter call pickup group settings in the columns.
See Table 47: Configuration Settings for Call Pickup Groups, on page 478 for descriptions of configuration
settings.
Repeat Step 7, on page 476 until you enter all pickup groups.
Note
Step 8
To transfer the Excel spreadsheet format to a CSV file, click Export to BAT Format.
The system automatically saves CSV files to C:\XlsDatafiles on the local machine.
Click Browse to choose a different location.
Tip
What to do next
Upload the CSV files to the first node of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.
You must add the CSV file to BAT and insert the file to update the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
database.

Edit Existing Call Pickup Group CSV Data File
You update existing codes by manually updating an existing CSV file or creating a new CSV file using a text
editor.
When you update the Pickup Groups, existing Other Pickup Groups will be disassociated. Do not leave Other
Pickup Group as blank fields. Enter all Other Pickup Groups, that you want to associate with Pickup Group,
continuously.
You can change any part of an existing record, but you must include the pickup group name.
Caution
Procedure
Step 1
To edit an existing CSV data file, download the CSV file from the first node of the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager server to your local workstation.
Step 2
Open and edit the existing CSV file using a text editor.
Delete existing settings, add new call pickup groups, or update existing settings. See Table 47: Configuration
Settings for Call Pickup Groups, on page 478 for descriptions of configuration settings.
Example:
To update a call pickup group CSV file, you may enter Marketing,,,Marketing,Managers,Training, where
Marketing is the mandatory pickup group name. Marketing, Managers, and Training are the other pickup
group names associated to the pickup group Marketing.

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.
Related topics
See Topics Related to the Import/Export Menu, on page 527.
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.
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs
526
Import/Export
Log Files
Page 559
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.
Note
The.tar files must maintain the original directory structure when you re-tar the files, because BPS
looks for.tar files at the default location only.
Caution
Step 6
Upload the.tar file for import.
Make sure that you select the Target as Import/Export and the Transaction Type as Import.
Note
If you decide to use a text editor to update the file, make sure that you add a comma for every new
entry in the file format.
Note
Import/Export tool does not support updating the password and pin attributes. They are exported in
encrypted form in the exported file and hence it cannot be changed to plain text. Entities which have
credentials are—Common Phone Profile, SIP Realm, Application User, LDAP Authentication, LDAP
Directory, Cisco Attendant Console, and Enduser. Be aware that you must not modify the User ID,
User Pkid, Password, and Pin fields in the enduser.csv in the exported file.

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 Unified Communications Manager using the Bulk Administration Menu.
The LDAP password configured under the User Management > User Settings > Service Profile > Directory
Profile Unified CM Administration interface will be exported in the encrypted format when you export the
Service Profiles data using BAT. To import Service Profiles data from a Unified Communications Manager
server to another, you must manually re-enter the password in plain text form in the exported .csv file. This
is because you cannot import the same password as the decryption key is different for different servers.
If you are using the LDAP credentials for authentication, you should disable the Cisco Jabber Diagnostic
Tool using the DiagnosticsToolEnabled parameter configured in the Jabber Client Configuration
(jabber-config.xml) file.
Note
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.
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs
529


Page 562
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 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.
Because there can be multiple IP Phone services with the same name and there is no unique key to distinguish
these services, Import or 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.
Step 2
Select the .tar file name in the File Name field and click Next.
The File Name drop-down list displays 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.

Import Configuration to Server


Page 563
When a 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, and MTP_1.
When a user exports this information into a TAR file and imports it to a different Unified Communications
Manager server, then the system creates items such as CFB and MTP. The names on the new Unified
Communications Manager server may be consistent with the names before import, or can be different.
Note

Log Files, on page 526
Upload File to Server, on page 21
Cyclic Dependency
Some entities in Cisco Unified Communications Manager depend upon each other in such a way that one
cannot be imported without importing the other. Import/Export carries out the import process for such entities
in two stages:
1.
The entity with the higher priority is imported first, with a blank value for the supporting entity.
This occurs because the value of the supporting entity is not available at the time.
Note
2.
After importing all the entities in the.tar, Import/Export updates the higher priority entity with the value
of the supporting entity to complete the import process.
The value of the supporting entity becomes available in the next cycle.
Note
Example
Consider the following example to understand how cyclic dependency works:
Device Pool and Media Resource Group List (MRGL)—Device Pool (entity with the higher priority) gets
imported first, with a blank value for MRGL (supporting entity), because the value of MRGL is not available
at the time. After importing all the entities in the.tar file, Import/Export updates Device Pool, replacing the
blank value with the true value of MRGL to complete the import process.
Consider the following entities as bound by cyclic dependency:
• Device Pool and MRGL
• Device Pool and Route Group
• Partition and Time Schedule
• Application User and User group
• Licensing

Import/Export generates two logs files for every import of dependent entities. The first log file indicates the
status of insert of the first entity; the other indicates whether the first entity was successfully updated with the
value of the supporting entity.
Note
Items Not Supported on Import or Export

• Annunciator/MOH Server—When a Cisco Unified Communications Manager server is created, database
triggers create entities such as MOH server, annunciator, and so on. When you export this information
into a TAR file and import it to a different Cisco Unified Communications Manager server, the system
trigger creates items such as MOH server, annunciator, and so on. Import/Export supports only update
of existing MOH server—server association/annunciator—server association. You can edit the TAR file
to make sure that the csv file has the valid association before importing. Cisco recommends that you
import the server first; then, based on the association created, you can edit the csv file and do an Import
with Override.
• Device Defaults
• Credential Policy Default
• Certificate—Import/Export supports only update of existing certificates as new certificates cannot be
created/uploaded from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. Only the Duration in

Upgrade From Cisco Unified CallManager 4.x Releases
Keep the following points in mind when you import entities after an upgrade from Cisco Unified CallManager
4.x releases:
• BAT supports Import/Export between the same versions of Cisco Unified Communications Manager
only. After the upgrade from a 4.x release of Cisco Unified CallManager, make sure that you have the
same Cisco Unified Communications Manager version on both the source and target servers.
• Some user groups associated to application users that are relevant to the erstwhile Cisco Unified
CallManager 4.x version that was running on the source server before the upgrade, may not be relevant
to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager version running on the target server. Import transaction
for such user groups will fail.

Manage Phone Migration
This chapter provides information to use the Phone Migration feature in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Bulk Administration Tool to migrate phones from one type to another in bulk. You can access the
Phone Migration submenu from the Bulk Administration menu of Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
• Phone Migration Considerations, on page 539
• Migrate Phones, on page 540
Phone Migration Considerations
A text-based CSV data file is used to migrate phones. You can create the CSV data file using either the BAT
spreadsheet or a text editor.
Some limitations to keep in mind while migrating phones are:
• Migrating to a phone with fewer speed dials or lines will not remove lines or speed dials. However, some
of the lines/speed dials will no longer show up on the phone. You can still find all of the original
lines/speed dials on the phone configuration page.
• Even migrating to a newer phone can cause loss of features like in the case of moving from SIP to SCCP
or vice versa.
• Only existing phones can be migrated. If you enter a non-existing device in the CSV file, the system
displays an error message.
• If the phone gets migrated successfully, the old phone will be updated with the new phone settings.
• If you select the reset or restart option, the new phone would be reset.
Create CSV Data Files for Phone Migration Using BAT Spreadsheet
You can use the BAT spreadsheet to create the CSV data file that contains the details for phone migration.
After you have finished editing the fields in the BAT spreadsheet, you can export the content to a CSV
formatted data file. A default filename is assigned to the exported CSV formatted data file:
PhoneMigration#timestamp.txt
where “timestamp” represents the precise date and time that the file was created.
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs
539

Page 572
If you enter a comma in one of the fields, BAT.xlt encloses that field entry in double quotes when you export
to BAT format.
If you enter a blank row in the spreadsheet, the system treats the empty row as the end of the file. The system
does not convert data that is entered after a blank line to the BAT format.
Note
Procedure
Step 1
To open the BAT spreadsheet, locate and double-click BAT.xlt file
Step 2
When prompted, click Enable Macros to use the spreadsheet capabilities.
Step 3
Click the Phone Migration tab.
Step 4
In each row, provide the information for the following fields:
• Old Device Name—Enter the name of the phone that you are migrating, from 1 to 50 characters that
identifies the old device. This field is mandatory.
• New Device MAC Address—Enter the MAC address of the new Device, 12 characters. This is a mandatory
field.
• Description—Enter a description, up to 50 characters. This is an optional field. The description can
include up to 50 characters in any language, but it cannot include double-quotes ("), percentage sign (%),
ampersand (&), back-slash (), or angle brackets (<>).
Step 5
To transfer the data from the BAT Excel spreadsheet into a CSV file, click Export to BAT Format.
The system saves the file using the default filename PhoneMigration#timestamp.txt to C:\XLSDataFiles
or you can use Browse to save your file in another existing folder on your local workstation
For information on how to read the exported CSV data file, click the link to View Sample File in the
Phone Migration Configuration window in BAT.
Note
What to do next
Upload the CSV data file to the first node of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server so BAT can
access the data input file.

Insert, Update, and Delete EMCC Devices
This chapter provides information to use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration (BAT)
to insert, update, and delete EMCC devices in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
• Insert EMCC Devices, on page 549
• Update EMCC Devices, on page 550
• Delete EMCC Devices, on page 551
Insert EMCC Devices
Use BAT to add EMCC devices to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
Each EMCC device bears a unique name in the format: EMCC1, EMCC2, and so on. BAT assigns EMCC
device numbers by obtaining the last one used. If any other entity like, Phone, UDP, RDP, or EMCC Templates
are named in the same format (EMCC1, EMCC2), then BAT Insert EMCC generates an error for duplicate
naming. Therefore, ensure that the above entities with the same name format, are renamed before inserting
EMCC Devices.
Example
The Admin user wants to insert 27 numbers of EMCC devices. First, BAT searches for the last EMCC device
serial number used in the UCM say, EMCC123. Then it starts inserting devices from the next number onwards:
EMCC124 to EMCC150. If UDP devices have already used the following names: EMCC135, EMCC137,
and EMCC150, then BAT Insert EMCC will generate a naming error. EMCC devices with the above names
do not get created unless the UDP devices are renamed.
Before you begin
Before you insert EMCC devices, you must have a valid EMCC template set as default. Set the default template
following the update EMCC devices procedure.
To determine how many EMCC devices to add, look at the number of registered phones and add 5% to account
for devices that may not be registered at the moment. If you have 100 phones, multiply 100 by 0.5, which
equals 5. You add the result (5) to the total (100). The number of EMCC devices is 105.
To display information about the number of registered phones, gateways, and media resource devices on Cisco
Unified Communications Manager, open RTMT and choose Voice/Video > Device > Device Summary.

Confidential Access Level Setup
This chapter provides information about using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to
configure Confidential Access Levels (CAL).

About Confidential Access Level Setup
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the Bulk Administration > Confidential
Access Level > Import Confidential Access Level Matrix menu path to configure CAL. CAL feature is
used for restricting calls and other supplementary features such as transfer, forward, conferences including
Meet-Me, and so on.
CAL is a numerical value assigned to an entity:
• Device (for example, an IP Phone)
• Line (for example, a Directory Number)
• Trunk (for example, a SIP trunk)
CAL has two main functions:
• Controls call completion based on configuration.
• Displays information on the phone that conveys additional information about the call.
Format of CAL Matrix
The Confidential Access Level (CAL) matrix is an X/Y matrix that is used to compare one CAL to another
for implementing a call policy. The CAL from the originating number is selected along the X-axis of the
matrix and compared against the destination number along the Y-axis of the matrix. The intersection of these
two values is known as the resolved CAL. The resolved CAL determines whether the call should proceed and
also the message that is displayed to the users.
A sample CAL matrix is as follows:

END
The matrix must be symmetrical. For example, in the sample CAL matrix above, the value at the intersection
of CAL 2 and CAL 3 is same as the value at the intersection of CAL 3 and CAL 2. Thus, the resolved CAL
in both the cases is 2 (Restricted). Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not validate if the imported
matrix is symmetrical. So it is the responsibility of the administrator to configure a matrix that aligns with the
desired calling policy.
Important
You can configure different CALs as per the requirement. The following CALs have been configured in this
sample matrix:
• 1 - Unrestricted
• 2 - Restricted
• 3 - Confidential
The first row of the CAL matrix must contain all the valid CALs that you want to import into Cisco Unified
Communications Manager. Description and CAL values are optional. The CALs in the remaining columns
can be any numeric values that you want to import. The subsequent rows define the textual description, as
seen in column 1, and its relationship with other CALs in column 3 and the subsequent columns. For every
CAL entered in the first row, there should be a resulting row that contains a textual description for that value.
In other words, column 1 must contain textual descriptions for all the CALs that are entered in the first row.
The last line (END, Description) indicates the end of the CAL matrix. The CALs beyond this row are not
imported.
If a call is originated from a number whose CAL is 1 (Unrestricted) to a destination number whose CAL is 2
(Restricted), the resolved CAL is 1 (the intersection of CAL 1 and CAL 2). Hence, the text corresponding to
CAL 1—Unrestricted is displayed on both the phones. Similarly, if the call is between a Restricted party (with
CAL 2) and a Confidential party (with CAL 3), then Restricted (corresponding to the resolved CAL 2) will
be displayed on both the phones. Thus, the CAL matrix resolves to the highest common value possible between
all parties of the call.
CAL Enforcement Level
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager 10.0(1), the CAL feature is not configurable on internal Cisco
Unified Communications Manager devices that are used in features such as Directed Call Park, Built in
Bridges, and so on, and also on a few endpoints such as MGCP BRI devices, Mobility, and CTI based endpoints.
If you apply CAL resolution restriction strictly for all the calls, it may result in undesired call failures. Also,
applying the CAL restriction without assigning CAL values to all the devices may result in call failures.
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs
578
Configure Confidential Access Level
CAL Enforcement Level

Page 611
To avoid undesired call failures and to facilitate smooth deployment of the CAL feature, the following modes
of CAL enforcement are implemented in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 10.0(1):
• Strict Mode-in this mode, the CAL Enforcement Level enterprise parameter is set to Strict. If the CAL
value is not configured for a device or if a feature that does not support CAL is invoked, the call is
allowed.
• Lenient Mode-in this mode, the CAL Enforcement Level enterprise parameter is set to Lenient. Even if
the CAL value is not configured for a device or if a feature that does not support CAL is invoked, the
call is allowed. However, if CAL values are configured for all the devices and the CAL resolution fails,
the call is not allowed.
Cisco recommends that you deploy the CAL feature in Lenient mode in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Release 10.0(1).
Note
To set the CAL enforcement level, choose System > Enterprise Parameters and select the CAL enforcement
level from the CAL Enforcement Level drop-down list.
Note
To ensure that the Lenient mode functions properly, it is highly recommended that you configure appropriate
warning text on the 'CAL Resolution Warning Message Text' enterprise parameter. For example, Warn: CAL
unknown. The warning text is displayed on the phones whenever the CAL values are not configured but the
call is allowed.
Important
CAL Limitations
The following limitations apply to the CAL feature:
• The built-in bridges (BIB) on the phones are not assigned CAL values. In Barge and Monitoring features,
where BIBs are used, a warning message is displayed on the phones that use these features. The warning
text is displayed based on the warning message that is configured in the CAL Resolution Warning Message
Text enterprise parameter.
• Unlike SIP trunks, as the MGCP and H323 devices do not pass the resolved CAL values from one cluster
to another, you may see different resolved CAL values on the calling and called entities on the call.
• The CAL feature is not supported on all phone models. To check if CAL is supported on your phone,
see the Cisco Unified IP Phone User Guide that is specific to your phone model.
• In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 10.0(1), Directed Call Park and Mobility features
can work only in Lenient mode.
• Extension Mobility applies only the CAL values that are associated with the lines.
• The calling SIP phones do not display PENDING message until the call is answered even if the CAL
header is included in the SIP 180 Ringing message. To overcome this limitation, you can apply a LUA
script at the SIP Profile level associated with the phone. The LUA script removes the CAL Header in
the SIP 180 ringing message and updates the Remote Party ID to PENDING. An example of a LUA
script is provided below. You can apply this script to display PENDING message on the calling phone
until the call is answered.

• When you disable Auto Pickup, the 418 Incompatible SIP message is not sent to the phones when CAL
resolution fails during the pickup.
• When a phone with the CAL associated with its line receives an INVITE message, where the Directory
number in the From header is different from the value configured in the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager database for that phone, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager sends a SIP 418 Invalid
CAL message to the phone if the CAL feature is enabled. If the CAL feature is disabled, the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager retains the original behavior and sends a SIP403 Forbidden message.

TAPS Overview
The Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support (TAPS) enables phone users to call the TAPS directory number
and download the preconfigured phone settings for the user's directory number. TAPS works in conjunction
with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to provide these capabilities:
• Configure TAPS—Allows you to enable TAPS usage for all phones that use auto-registration or to limit
TAPS to only phones that are added through BAT with pseudo MAC addresses.
• Secure TAPS—Allows you to keep some directory numbers from being updated through TAPS.
• User Locales for TAPS—Allows you to choose the languages for TAPS prompts.
TAPS components get installed on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager first node as part of the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager installation. You must enable auto-registration in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager for TAPS to function. In addition, you must enable the CallManager service on
the first node, even if the first node is not being used to register phones.
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs
587

Page 620
When you use TAPS, it leads to the depletion of auto-registration range on the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager. After update through TAPS, the auto-registered directory number (DN) of the phone becomes an
unassigned DN. You should delete unassigned DNs using BAT periodically to free up the auto-registration
range.
Note
You must install TAPS application on the Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (CiscoUCCX) server. TAPS
requires the CiscoIP Interactive Voice Response (IPIVR) application that runs on the CiscoUCCX server for
the user interface and prompts.
Administrators need to provide instructions to tell end users how to use TAPS to configure their new phones.
Cisco recommends that you stop the TAPS service when you are not using TAPS to add phones to Cisco
Unified Communications Manager database.

TAPS Auto-registration Options
You can set the following options for using TAPS to update auto-registering phones.
• Update MAC addresses and download a predefined configuration for new phones.
• Reload the configuration for replacement phones.
TAPS with New Phone Examples
After BAT has added the new phone configurations with pseudo MAC addresses in Cisco Unified
Communications ManagerAdministration, you can plug the phones into the network. You or the phone user
can dial a TAPS directory number that causes the phone to download its configuration. At the same time, the
phone gets updated in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration with the correct MAC address.
You must make sure that Auto-registration is enabled in Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration for TAPS to function.

Page 621
Example
You have 100 new-hire employees starting on Monday. You must add these users and their new phones to
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. You can use BAT to create a phone template for
these 100 phones and a CSV data file for phones and users. By using the pseudo MAC address option in the
CSV data file, you do not need to add the individual MAC addresses for the new phones. With auto-registration
enabled in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you can plug the phones directly into the network. You
or the new employee can load the configuration by dialing the TAPS directory number and following the
voice-prompt instructions.
Reloading Configurations Using TAPS
When you must replace an existing phone that is not functioning, you can use TAPS to download the existing
phone configuration to the new phone. After the user receives the new phone and plugs the phone into the
network, the user dials the TAPS directory number to download configuration for the previous phone. The
user makes no configuration changes during this process.
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you must enable auto-registration. You must
ensure that you configure TAPS usage for all phones to enable a user to download an existing phone
configuration.

Note
For more information, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Online Help.
Example
John's CiscoUnifiedIPPhone model 7940 gets short-circuited during a lightning storm. He receives a new
CiscoUnifiedIPPhone model 7940 and plugs it into the network. John can dial the TAPS directory number,
and the new phone will download the configuration that was previously used for the damaged phone. TAPS
automatically updates device information in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.

Secured Directory Numbers
Because TAPS can replace a directory number, you can protect certain directory numbers from being
overwritten. To protect important directory numbers, you can use the Secure TAPS option.
Example
The directory number 5000 provides voice-messaging access for your system. You do not want a new user
to mistakenly configure 5000 on the new phone. The Secure TAPS option allows you to specify that TAPS
cannot access directory number “5000.”

Language Prompts for TAPS Users
You can configure user prompts for TAPS to play in several languages. Administrators can choose the
languages to make available to users.
If you need to use language prompts other than English prompts, before you install, upgrade, or configure
TAPS, run the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Locale Installer on each cluster node and restart each
node.
Using the locale installer ensures that you have the latest translated text, translated voice prompts,
country-specific phone tones, and country-specific gateways tones available for the phones. For more
information on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Locale Installer, refer to the specific locale
installer documentation.
You can use the file get tftp <AAR file name> CLI command the get the AAR file the Cisco Unified

BAT Log Files
BAT generates log files for each bulk transaction. The log file shows the key value of a record, so the
administrator may reexamine the record. The MAC address of the phone serves as the key value when you
are adding, updating, or modifying phones. When users are added, the User ID serves as the key value. To
view the log files for each job that is created in BAT, find the appropriate job and click on the link in the Log
File Name column. A pop-up window displays the log file details of that job.
The log file names designate the operation that was performed and the time that the operation ended.
• Log File Names—File name shows the Job ID, which is a unique identifier that the system creates when
a job is submitted.
• TimeStamp—The timestamp format that is included in the log file name specifies mmddyyyyhhmmss.
• The log file name is of the format jobid#timestamp.txt

Open BAT.xlt.
2.
Go to Menu > Tools > Macro > Security.
3.
Set the Security Level to Medium.
4.
Close BAT.xlt and open it again. When prompted, choose Enable Macros.
Data Files (CSV) Format Do Not Match Phone Template/Sample File
Problem Data files (CSV) format do not match Phone Template/Sample File.
Possible Cause The number of lines in the data file should be less than or equal to the number of lines
that are configured in the BAT phone template, but is not. For example, the phone template has three
lines, and, of these, Lines 1, 2, and 3 are configured. You should use a phone data file with up to three
configured lines. 1111, 2222, 4444 results in Line1-1111, Line2-2222, Line3-none, Line4-4444.
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs
614
Troubleshooting BAT and TAPS
Cannot Access Complete Bulk Administration Functionality
Page 647
Solution Check the BAT phone template that you intend to use. The number of lines that are specified on the
CSV data file should not exceed the number of lines that are configured in the BAT phone template. Also,
the number of speed dials that the CSV data file specifies should not exceed the maximum possible number
of speed dials for the BAT phone template that you plan to use.
Uploaded CSV File Does Not Display in the File Name Drop-down List Box
Problem Uploaded CSV file does not display in the File Name drop-down list box.
Possible Cause The CSV file that you uploaded to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Server using
File Upload Configuration widow, does not display in the File Name drop-down list box field for various
operations. For example, if you uploaded a CSV file for inserting phones using Uploading/Downloading
menu option in Bulk Administration menu, but the file does not appear as one of the options in the Insert
Phone Configuration window File Name drop-down list box.
Solution Check and make sure that the file is uploaded for the right function. In the preceding example, the
you might have uploaded the file for Phones - Insert All details, where as the CSV file actually belongs to
Phones -Insert Specific details.
Delete the file through Upload/Download Files menu option and upload it for the right function.
Jobs Remain in Pending State Even After the Scheduled Time Expires
Problem Jobs remain in Pending state even after the scheduled time expires.
Possible Cause You schedule jobs with a specific scheduled time for execution. But, the jobs remain in
Pending state, even after the scheduled time.
Solution Check for the following details:
1.
Check that Cisco Bulk Provisioning Service (BPS) is started.
2.
Check that there is no other job in Processing state. BPS can process only one job at a time.
3.
Check if Stop Processing is requested for BPS transactions. If so, go to Job Scheduler window and click
Activate Job.
Jobs Remain in Hold State
Problem Jobs remain in Hold state.
Possible Cause After you submit jobs with all the required data, the jobs show in Hold state on the job
scheduler window. These jobs do not get executed.
Solution You need to activate jobs that are in Hold state, before they can be executed by BPS. Go to Job
Scheduler window and follow the process to activate the job.
Job Does Not Display in the Find and List Jobs Window
Problem Job does not display in the Find and List Jobs window.
Possible Cause After you submit a job with all the required data, choose Bulk Administration > Job

submitted is already complete then it will not be displayed in the Search Results area.
Solution In the Find and List jobs window, choose Show from the third drop-down window and click Find
again. The search results now display completed jobs also.
Port Number Not Configured in the Template
Problem Port number not configured in the template.
Possible Cause The CSV file specified the port number, but no corresponding ports are configured in the
BAT template.
Solution In the BAT template, configure the ports that you have specified in the CSV file.
MAC Address Values Are Not Allowed in the File If Pseudo MAC Address
Values Are Desired
Problem MAC address values are not allowed in the file if pseudo MAC address values are desired.
Possible Cause The CSV file contains MAC addresses. You cannot provide pseudo MAC addresses when
MAC addresses are present in any row in the CSV file.
Solution If you want to use pseudo MAC addresses, create a new CSV file that contains only those records
for which you have not specified MAC addresses. Alternatively, you can specify MAC addresses in the CSV
file and not check the Create Pseudo MAC Address check box.
The BAT.xlt Spreadsheet Does Not Work with Microsoft Excel XP (Office XP)
Problem The BAT.xlt spreadsheet does not work with Microsoft Excel XP (Office XP)
Possible Cause In Microsoft Excel packaged with Office XP, macro security is set to high by default. Due

Solution Make sure that BAT.xlt is in normal mode. Open Bat.xltl; then choose File > Save As and click Excel
Macro Enabled Workbook. Provide a name, and click Save. Close the bat.xlt and open the file that you saved
(the Saved As file).
Troubleshooting BAT Performance
Keep in mind that it is best to send bulk transactions during low-traffic periods. When you insert BAT files
to the first node database during the time when Unified Communications Manager is processing a high volume
of calls, the BAT transactions can be slow. In fact, you can adversely affect how Unified Communications
Manager processes calls.
You can improve BAT performance by restricting the file size of the file to less than 12000 records per file.
You can also improve BAT performance by stopping the TFTP service on the Unified Communications
Manager first node server before you insert the BAT files to the first node database. You must restart the
TFTP service when the insert transaction complete.

Insert Infrastructure Devices
Use this procedure to complete a bulk import of your wireless Access Point infrastructure from a CSV file
into the database. You can use this procedure to import a CSV file that was exported from Cisco Prime
Infrastructure or if you want to import access points from a third-party wireless Access Point controller.
Before you begin
You must have a data file in comma separated value (CSV) format with the following delineated columns:
• AccessPoint or Switch Name
• IPv4 Address
• IPv6 Address
• BSSID—Required for Wireless Access Protocol (WAP) infrastructure devices
• Description—A location identifier, a combination of switch type and location, or another meaningful
identifier
You can define both an IPv4 and IPv6 address, or you can define an IPv4 or an IPv6 address.
For Meraki Access Points, the updates the Basic Service Set Identifiers (BSSID) in the Database after
normalizing it to its base BSSID. For more information about BSSID masking calculation for Meraki Access
Points, see Calculating Cisco Meraki BSSID MAC Addresses.
For Non- Meraki Access Points, the Unified CM updates the BSSID in the database by masking the last byte
with 0.
This masking logic helps Unified CM to uniquely identify the Access Point as opposed to the BSSIDs for the
individual channels on the Access Point.

Export Local Directory URIs and +E.164 Patterns
This procedure describes how to export all locally configured directory URIs, +E.164 number patterns, and
their associated PSTN failover rules, to a CSV file that you can import into the other call control system.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager writes to the CSV file only those directory URIs and +E.164 number
patterns that were configured in the local cluster. Cisco Unified Communications Manager includes directory
URIs and +E.164 patterns that were imported from an LDAP directory into the local cluster, but does not
include directory URIs or patterns that were learned via ILS or that were imported from a third party URI
catalog.
Note
Procedure
Step 1
In Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose Bulk Administration > Directory URIs and Patterns > Export
Local Directory URIs and Patterns.
Step 2
Click one of the following radio buttons to define the domain name that you want to attach to the export file:
• Organizational Top Level Domain—Click this radio button to use the value of the Organizational Top
Level Domain enterprise parameter for the export file domain name.
• Route String Domain—Click this radio button to use the value of the Route String field, as configured
in ILS Configuration, for the export file domain name.
• User Defined Domain—Click this radio button to create a customized domain name to attach to the
export file.
Step 3
If you chose a User Defined Domain, enter the domain name in the Domain Name text box.
Step 4
Click the Export Local Directory URIs and Patterns button.
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs
629


Page 662
Step 5
Save the CSV file to a local drive.
Import Directory URIs and Patterns From a Non-ILS System
Follow this procedure if you are running the Intercluster Lookup Service (ILS) on your local cluster and you
want to import a global dial plan catalog, including directory URIs, +E.164 number patterns, or PSTN failover
rules from a CSV file for a call control system that is not running ILS, such as a Cisco TelePresence Video
Communication Server (VCS) or a third-party call control system.
To perform this procedure, the Cisco Bulk Provisioning Service must be running on the local cluster, which
must be configured as a hub cluster in an ILS network. After you import the catalog into Cisco Unified
Communications Manager, ILS replicates the imported catalog to the other clusters in the ILS network.
Make sure that the CSV file that you use for the import is compatible with your version of Cisco Unified
Communications Manager. For example, a CSV file that is compatible to import into Version 9.0(1) is not
compatible with Version 10.0(1). To view a sample CSV file for your release, in Cisco Unified CM
Administration, choose Bulk Administration > Directory URIs and Patterns > Insert Directory URIs
and Patterns and click View Sample File.
Note
Within Cisco Unified CM Administration, you can enter directory URIs with embedded double quotation
marks or commas. However, when you use Bulk Administration to import a CSV file that contains directory
URIs with embedded double quotation marks and commas, you must enclose the entire directory URI in
double quotation marks and escape the embedded double quotation marks with a double quotation mark. For
example, a directory URI of Jared, “Jerry”,Smith@test.com must be input as “Jared”, ““Jerry””,
“Smith@test.com” in the CSV file.
Note
Procedure
Step 1
In Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose Call Routing > Global Dial Plan Replication > Imported
Global Dial Plan Catalogs.
Step 2

Note
Directory URI Format
Directory URIs are alphanumeric strings consisting of a user and a host address separated by the @ symbol.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports the following formats for directory URIs:
• user@domain (for example, joe@cisco.com)
• user@ip_address (for example, joe@10.10.10.1)
Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports the following formats in the user portion of a directory
URI (the portion before the @ symbol):
• Accepted characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, !, $, %, &, *, _, +, ~, -, =, , ?, , ‘, ,, ., /.
• The user portion has a maximum length of 47 characters.
• The user portion accepts percent encoding from %2[0-9A-F] through %7[0-9A-F]. For some accepted
characters, Unified CM automatically applies percent encoding. See below for more information on
percent encoding.
• The user portion is case-sensitive or case-insensitive depending on the value of the URI Lookup Policy
enterprise parameter. The default value is case-sensitive.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports the following formats in the host portion of a directory
URI (the portion after the @ symbol):
• Supports IPv4 addresses or fully qualified domain names.
• Accepted characters are a-z, A-Z ,0-9, hyphens, and dots.
• The host portion cannot start or end with a hyphen.
• The host portion cannot have two dots in a row.
• Minimum of two characters.
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs
631
Manage Directory URIs and Patterns
Directory URI Format
Page 664
• The host portion is not case sensitive.
Due to database restrictions, the Directory URI field has a maximum length of 254 characters.
You can also enter a directory number in the user portion of a directory URI. However, Cisco Unified
Communications Manager may treat the directory URI as a directory number depending on which Dial String
Interpretation option you choose for the SIP Profile.
Note
For compatibility with third party call control systems, Cisco recommends setting the value of the URI Lookup
Policy enterprise parameter to case insensitive.
Note
Percent Encoding of Directory URIs
In the user portion of a directory URI, Unified CM automatically applies percent encoding to the following
characters when the directory URI is saved in the database:
% ^ ` { } | \ : ” < > [ ] \ ‘ and spaces
When percent encoding is applied, the digit length of the directory URI increases. For example, if you input
joe smith#@cisco.com (20 characters) as a directory URI, Cisco Unified Communications Manager stores
the directory URI in the database as joe%20smith%23@cisco.com (24 characters). Due to database restrictions,
Cisco Unified Communications Manager rejects any attempt to save a directory URI of greater than 254
characters.
Directory URI Format Exception for Bulk Administration
Within Cisco Unified CM Administration, you can enter directory URIs with embedded double quotes or
commas. However, when you use Bulk Administration to import a CSV file that contains directory URIs with
embedded double quotes and commas, you must use enclose the entire directory URI in double quotes and
escape the embedded double quotes with a double quote. For example, the Jared, "Jerry",Smith@test.com
directory URI must be input as "Jared,""Jerry"",Smith@test.com" in the CSV file.

Text-Based CSV Files
Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration (BAT) uses data that is entered in a comma-separated
values (CSV) file format to provide information for insert transactions to the Unified Communications Manager
database on the first node server. By using the CSV data format, you can build a textual file that contains data
records in a tabular format.
You can create a CSV data file by using a text editor, such as Notepad++. You must use a separate line to
enter data for each record. Separate each data field with a comma and include comma separators for blank
fields. Enter data on every line in the data file because an error occurs during the insert transaction if you enter
a blank line in a CSV file.
When you insert the data records to the Unified Communications Manager database, BAT accesses a set of
designated folders that reside on the server that is running the first node database. For BAT to access the
appropriate CSV data file for the transaction, you must upload the CSV data file to the first node database
server of Unified Communications Manager.
We recommend uploading Text-Based CSV files saved in the UTF-8 format only, as characters other than
ASCII characters can be stored in this format. Using a text editor, such as Notepad++, you can select encoding
as UTF-8 without Byte Order Mark (BOM) from the Encoding drop-down. Text-Based CSV files saved in
formats other than UTF-8 may render garbled when downloaded from Unified Communications Manager.

Create Text-Based CSV File for Phones
You can create a CSV text file for phones, IP telephony devices, and user combinations using a text editor,
such as Notepad++.
Instead of using the BAT spreadsheet for data input when you are adding phones, you can create the
comma-separated values (CSV) file using lines of ASCII text with values separated by commas. There are
different CSV data file formats for different phone types. You must use the appropriate phone file format for
the CSV text file.
We recommend uploading Text-Based CSV files saved in the UTF-8 format only, as characters other than
ASCII characters can be stored in this format. Using a text editor, such as Notepad++, you can select encoding
as UTF-8 without Byte Order Mark (BOM) from the Encoding drop-down. Text-Based CSV files saved in

If you use a comma or double quotes as part of the value in one of the fields, you must enclose the entire text
value with double quotation marks to designate it as a single value.
For example, if you entered John, Bill as a text value, then you must enter the value as “John,Bill”.
If you entered a double quote in a value, then you must replace the double quote with two consecutive double
quotes and enclose the value with double quotes. For example you must enter John “Chief as “John”“Chief”.

Create Text-Based CSV User File
You can create a CSV text file for users using a text editor, such as such as Notepad++.
Instead of using the BAT spreadsheet for data input when you are adding users, you can create the
comma-separated values (CSV) file by using lines of ASCII text with values separated by commas. You must
use the user file format for the user CSV text file.
Cisco recommends uploading Text-Based CSV files saved in the UTF-8 format only, as characters other than
ASCII characters can be stored in this format. Using a text editor, such as Notepad++, you can select encoding
as UTF-8 without Byte Order Mark (BOM) from the Encoding drop-down. Text-Based CSV files saved in
formats other than UTF-8 may render garbled when downloaded from Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Note
Procedure
Step 1
Open a text editor or any application that allows you to export or create a text-based CSV file.
Step 2
Using a separate line for each user, enter the values for each user that you want to add to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager.
You can associate any number of existing devices to a new user by entering the device name of all the devices
separated by a comma at the end of the record.
You can associate a directory number to a user, even if that user does not control any device.
An error occurs if any blank lines exist in the CSV file.
Note
Step 3
While saving your CSV file, choose to save it as UTF-8 encoded. In Notepad++, you can select encoding as
UTF-8 without Byte Order Mark (BOM) from the Encoding drop-down.
What to do next
Upload the file to first node of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

User File Format
You must specify PIN and Password values, either on the CSV file or when using BAT for file insertion. If
you want to apply individual PINs or passwords for each user or group of users, specify the PIN and password
information in the CSV file. If you want to use a default PIN and password that all users can use, do not
specify PIN or password values in the CSV file and instead provide this information when you use BAT to
insert the CSV file in Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Tip
The following sample format and examples show the fields, field length, and whether the field is optional or
mandatory for a text-based CSV file for users.

Create Text-Based CSV File for Cisco Unified CM Assistant
Manager-Assistant Associations
You can create a CSV text file for UnifiedCM Assistant manager and assistants using a text editor, such as
Notepad++.
Instead of using the BAT spreadsheet for data input when you are adding UnifiedCM Assistant managers and
assistants, you can create the comma-separated values (CSV) file by using lines of ASCII text with values
separated by commas. You must use the manager and assistants file format for the CSV text file.
Cisco recommends uploading Text-Based CSV files saved in the UTF-8 format only, as characters other than
ASCII characters can be stored in this format. Using a text editor, such as Notepad++, you can select encoding
as UTF-8 without Byte Order Mark (BOM) from the Encoding drop-down. Text-Based CSV files saved in
formats other than UTF-8 may render garbled when downloaded from Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Note
Procedure
Step 1
Open a text editor or any application that allows you to export or create a text-based CSV file.
Step 2
Using a separate line for each manager-assistants association, enter the values for each manager-assistant that
you want to add to Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
An error occurs if any blank lines exist in the CSV file.
Note
You can assign multiple assistants to a manager by entering the user IDs of the manager and assistants separated

you can create the comma-separated values (CSV) file by using lines of ASCII text with values separated by
commas. You must use the appropriate file format for the gateway.
Cisco recommends uploading Text-Based CSV files saved in the UTF-8 format only, as characters other than
ASCII characters can be stored in this format. Using a text editor, such as Notepad++, you can select encoding
as UTF-8 without Byte Order Mark (BOM) from the Encoding drop-down. Text-Based CSV files saved in
formats other than UTF-8 may render garbled when downloaded from .
Note
Procedure
Step 1
Open a text editor or any application that allows you to export or create a text-based CSV file.
Step 2
Using a separate line for each gateway, enter the values for each gateway and port that you want to add to .
An error occurs if any blank lines exist in the CSV file.
Note
Step 3
While saving your CSV file, choose to save it as UTF-8 encoded. In Notepad++, you can select encoding as
UTF-8 without Byte Order Mark (BOM) from the Encoding drop-down.

Create Custom Text-Based CSV Files for Client Matter Codes
and Forced Authorized Codes
You can create a custom text-based CSV file using a text editor, such as Notepad++.
Procedure
Step 1
Open a text editor or any application that allows you to export or create a text-based CSV file.
Step 2
Using a separate line for each code, create a custom Client Matter Codes (CMC) CSV file or a Forced
Authorized Codes (FAC) CSV file, as described in the following steps:
• For CMC—Step 3 and Step 4
• For FAC— Step 3 and Step 4
Remember that you must create two separate CSV files, one for CMC and one for FAC.
Tip
Step 3
To create a CMC CSV file, enter the corresponding information, where x, y represent the following fields:
• x—The client matter code (mandatory entry for all additions, updates, and deletions)
• y—The description (optional if you update the entry)
For example, you may enter 5555,Acme Toys, where 5555 equals the mandatory client matter code, and Acme
Toys equals the description.
Step 4
To create a FAC CSV file, enter the corresponding information, where x,y,z represent the following fields:
• x—The forced authorization code (mandatory entry for all additions, updates, and deletions)
• y—The authorization code name (optional if you update the entry)
Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs
660
Text-Based CSV Files
Create Custom Text-Based CSV Files for Client Matter Codes and Forced Authorized Codes
Page 693
• z—The authorization level (optional if you update the entry)
For example, you may enter 1234,John Smith,20, where 1234 equals the forced authorization code, John
Smith equals the authorization code name, and 20 equals the authorization level.
If you add new codes at the same time that you update them, make sure that you enter all required
information. You can change any part of an existing record, but you must include the code; for example,
the forced authorization code or client matter code. Deleting information and leaving it blank does not
remove the information from the database; a blank value does not overwrite an existing value in the
database, but, updating the value, for example, to Acme Toys, Inc., or John L. Smith from the preceding
examples, overwrites the existing value in the database.
Caution
Step 5
Upload the CSV file to the first node of .
While saving your CSV file, choose to save it as UTF-8 encoded. In Notepad++, you can select encoding as
UTF-8 without Byte Order Mark (BOM) from the Encoding drop-down.

Note
Step 6
Perform one of the following tasks:
• If you made additions or updates, insert the file in the CUCM database using BAT.
• You can delete code settings.
You cannot perform insert and update operations simultaneously with the same CSV file. You have
to create separate CSV files for insert and update.

• An error occurs when you insert a CSV file with blank lines.
Step 3
While saving your CSV file, choose to save it as UTF-8 encoded. In Notepad++, you can select encoding as
UTF-8 without Byte Order Mark (BOM) from the Encoding drop-down.
What to do next
