Importing configuration settings using the bulk import process

Last Updated : Jun 05, 2026 |

Before you begin

If you are importing a .csv file created using Microsoft Excel, ensure that the file does not contain any additional characters. To do so, open the file in any other text editor. For example, if you add the string GROUP;ADMINISTRATORS;SIP_CONTROLLER_LIST;"127.0.0.1:5061;transport=TLS" using Microsoft Excel and then open the file in a text editor, you will see that the string now contains some additional quotation marks: "GROUP;ADMINISTRATORS;SIP_CONTROLLER_LIST;""10.255.249.144:5061;transport=TLS""". You must remove any additional characters. Otherwise, bulk import will fail.

Procedure

  1. On the Avaya Aura® Device Services web administration portal, in the left navigation pane, navigate to Dynamic Configuration > Configuration.
  2. On the Import dynamic configuration settings page, in the Select type of import field, select Bulk Import.
  3. To import the settings, do one of the following:

    • In the text box, type the required entry on each line in the following format and click Import.

      {CATEGORY}
;
{SUB-CATEGORY}
;
{SETTING_NAME}
;
{SETTING_VALUE}

    • Click Browse to select a file from the local system and click Import.

      The file must be in either the .csv or .txt format.

    Avaya Aura® Device Services displays the import status at the top of the page.

    When the import is successful, Avaya Aura® Device Services displays a message with the date and time of starting and completing the import. For example: Bulk Import is completed. Started at 2015-12-30 01:01:48. Completed at 2015 -12-30 01:01:49

    When the import fails, Avaya Aura® Device Services displays a message with the reason of the import failure and the List of errors table that has the String number, String, and Error description columns. For example: Bulk Import failed. Reason: Input data validation failed.
