Import/ Export
You can use the Import/Export menu in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) to export or import parts of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database to another server, or to the same server with modifications. This reduces the configuration time that is required by importing a preconfigured database to the installed Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.
The following topics provide procedures for carrying out these tasks:

Step 11 You can choose to run the job immediately or later by selecting the corresponding radio button.
Step 12 To check for interdependency of tables to make sure that the related records are also exported, click Check Dependency.
Note You can de-select any of the check boxes after checking dependency. You also have the option to skip checking dependency.

A message in the Status section lets you know that the job was submitted successfully.
Step 14 Use the Job Scheduler option in the Bulk Administration main menu to schedule and/or activate this job.
For more information on jobs, see the Chapter 66, "Scheduling Jobs."
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.

Editing the .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.
If you want to make any changes to the configuration after you have exported the required data, you can do so by editing the exported .tar file by using the following procedure.
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 by using the procedure that mentioned in "Downloading a File" section on page 2-2.
Step 3 Un-tar the .tar file to some location on your machine by using the tar -xvf command.
The .csv file gets extracted to the location that you specified.
Note 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.
Step 4 Use MS Excel to edit the .csv file and save your changes.
Note You can edit the .csv file by using Notepad/Wordpad also, but Cisco recommends using MS Excel to edit the .csv file.
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.
Tip 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.
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.
Note 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.
Caution 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.
Step 6 Upload the .tar file for import by using the procedure that is mentioned in "Uploading a File" section on page 2-3.
Note Make sure that you select the Target as Import/Export and the Transaction Type as Import.
Note If you decide to use notepad or wordpad for the edit, make sure that you add a comma for every new entry in the file format.
