Importing Routing element data

Last Updated : Feb 25, 2015 |

You must import element data as a ZIP file consisting of one or more XML files.

  • Do not import data from the later stages in the routing definition process without importing data from the earlier stages. For example, you must import SIP entities either before or with the relevant entity links.

  • The import operation can accept XML files of any routing element. For example, you can import Locations from the Domains page.

  • During the export operation, the XML files contain the following version information: 
    <buildNumber>0</buildNumber>
<implementationVersion>0</implementationVersion>
<specificationVersion>0</specificationVersion>

Importing a very large number of elements (thousands and above) can take a very long time. In addition to importing the data, the System Manager server also synchronizes the information with all the Session Manager servers. Perform large imports at a time when the network has low activity, such as at night or during a maintenance window.

Before you begin

  • Verify the user who is performing the import operation has administrative privileges.

  • Before importing a large amount of data, back up the System Manager database. The backup provides an easy way to restore the original database in case the information you imported is substantially incorrect. For information regarding how to back up the System Manager database, see Administering Avaya Aura® System Manager.

Procedure

  1. On the System Manager web console, click Elements > Routing.
