PBX Information DUMP 2

[fzx5v0]

I need to do a dump of my definity G3i. I need to know all the configuration that is on it and want to dump it onto my laptop so I can read it in txt file or somthing

is there any way to do this ?

The only product that I am aware of that is capable of performing such a task is ProVision. Unfortunately, ProVision is only available to Avaya Specialists. If you have a specialist that you work with, they me able to get the information for you.

Do you have a copy of ASA or DSA, on there is avaya terminal emulator. This is the old terranova and you can download text files with that. Give me a shout back if you need more info

Not sure if this helps; If you have ASA or DSA, and if you have Adobe, simply File > Print and select Adobe as your printer and it will capture the screens as a pdf file.

Avaya, Octel, AUDIX, CMS and other fun stuff.

i got a program called call flow extract but it want to wit for a login promt at the switch so it just terminates

I dial into the tracker and them enter PASSWORD then ;me to get to the login promt

but this app is waiting for the login promt and timeing out because it doesnot get it

Is there somewhere else I can dial into on the switch or do I have to dial into the tracker or can I attach a modem somewhere else

Exactly what information are you planning to export?

I've been working on a macro over the past couple years (off and on in spare time) that exports vectors/vdns to html, but it requires you to have WRQ Reflection for Unix/Open VMS (runs in windows) which costs about $180. . It takes about 5 minutes for 100 vectors over C-Lan or about 30 minutes over 2400 baud modem. The macro does work, but needs some finishing touches to make it more friendly. I can give you the macro if you want to buy Reflection or download the trial. It also had the capability to copy one vector to another vector... it worked, but I never made a UI for that.


I quit working on that macro though because I started over on one that utilizes a database so I can use ASP pages and link vdns/vectors/splits/announcements allot easier. Here's an example of what I'm working on now.. the links don't work of course cause it's not running on the server with the database..

I'm going to make a VB app control Reflection on the newer version because the UI will be easier to make and I can encrypt the source code.

I've found call flow extract has problems getting past the login prompt on older releases like 4,5,6.

Come to think of it, my macro was written for a g3r and only tested on version 7 and 9 so it may not work for him.

Hi Danp129, I saw the wonderfull work you are doing to export call vectoring data to html. It would be very usefull for alot of us. Management here is always complaining they don't have the latest callflow documentation. It just takes a lot of time to copy/paste everything. I have a copy of Reflection WRQ and have basic knowledge of asp, php and macro's in Reflection. If you're interested to share your work, let us know. We can work together to make it even bether.

Hi,
ProVision is a specific program for specific version of PBX software and load. ProVision for G3v6i.03.3.246 doesn't work with for example v8.2
Of course program works but data will be corrupted or in wrong positions.

I'm using Terranova or Avaya Terminal Emulator. Just enable Capture to disk and then typing required commands.

If you dont have system printer instaled, you can add 'print' (at the end of command) then system will list long information without promting "next page?" (or something)
For example:
list configuration all print
or
list extension-type print

Regards
konri

You can grab the Reflection macro here:

It's a little messy because it's not really ready to share and I plan to move it to VB which I haven't started yet. If you need some help with it e-mail me at my username @yahoo.com.

I'm testing a new beta of utilicall for them. It is being updated for the newer releases & has a new feature where you can set up call traces on VDN's, Vectors etc. to run continuously for up to 8 hours. Great tool for troubleshooting. This is a very nice piece of software. It costs $500 and can be distributed to different users in the same company.I've noticed some login problems as well, sometimes using a different dial up modem helps. I'm going to suggest to them that they change it to allow a manual login & then invoke the program fro switches that cause a problem.

One nice thing about utilicall is that once you have the download, you can associate the file extension with Microsoft word. it will auto format itself. For example a vector will occupy one page in word, so you don't get a vector split over 2 or 3 pages.

Here is a way to dump all vectors into a CSV file. It was compiled from tricks learned from this forum so if you recognize any of YOUR code, THANK YOU!

First you need to do a LIST VECTOR and export the list without the header to c:\vectors.csv. Once it is saved, you can simply run this script after logging into your PBX via Procomm. If anybody has any tweaks they are more than welcome.

proc main

string sLine
string vector1

 fopen 0 "C:\vectors.csv" READ TEXT
 while not feof 0
  fgets 0 sLine
  strtok vector1 sLine "," 1
  
transmit "disp vect "
pause 1
transmit vector1
pause 1
transmit "^M"

call vector1

endwhile
fclose 0
endproc


proc vector1

call page1
transmit "^[OV"		;next page
call page2
transmit "^[OV"		;next page
call page3

endproc

proc page1
   string Line                   ; Line to write to file.
   integer Row                   ; Current row to get.
pause 3
   if fopen 1 "C:\vector_dump.csv" APPEND   ; Create file to write screen to.
      for Row = 3 upto 3        ; Loop through each row on screen.
         termgets Row 4 Line 75  ; Get line specified by row.
         fputs 1 Line            ; Write line from screen to file.
         fputs 1 "`r`r"
      endfor
      fclose 1                   ; Close file opened for create.
   else

      errormsg "Couldn't open file!"
   endif
   
      if fopen 1 "C:\vector_dump.csv" APPEND   ; Create file to write screen to.
      for Row = 8 upto 18        ; Loop through each row on screen.
         termgets Row 0 Line 79  ; Get line specified by row.
         fputs 1 Line            ; Write line from screen to file.
         fputs 1 "`r"
      endfor
      fclose 1                   ; Close file opened for create.
   else

      errormsg "Couldn't open file!"
   endif

endproc

proc page2

   string Line                   ; Line to write to file.
   integer Row                   ; Current row to get.

         fputs 1 Line            ; Write line from screen to file.
         fputs 1 "`r"
      endfor
      fclose 1                   ; Close file opened for create.
   else

      errormsg "Couldn't open file!"
   endif

endproc

proc page3

   string Line                   ; Line to write to file.
   integer Row                   ; Current row to get.

      errormsg "Couldn't open file!"

pause 1
transmit "^[OP"
