Ok I looked and was unable to find anything.

If you could be more specific it would be great. Does it work by DN or LEN?

This is something that will be helpful in the future, I have just finished manually adding the required feature to all phone today. It was just over 7k phones.

Thanks for the help on this

I use the inherent capabilities of store file frequently to make large numbers of changes. I usually extract all the LEN's that require the changes and then create single line entry of the change using a combination of MS Access and MS Word. Basically I download a table that contains all the LENS (IBNLINES for example for analog sets). Then import into Access. From Access I then merge to MS Word. This allows you to enter the commands, then insert the LEN. Once you complter the merge save as a text file, then ftp file to the DMS. Make sure you remove any file extensions before the ftp. Store file does not like the .txt for example.

The script may look something like this:
ADO $ 0 1 10 12 3wc $ Y
ADO $ 0 1 10 13 3wc $ Y
etc...

Once the file is in store file, go into servord then read the file. It moves pretty quick. Make sure you capture the output to go back and look for errors.

I also use procom for some tasks. Attached is an example Procom script.

It can be easily modified to make any changes. The CKLN.TXT file that is referenced in the script is simply a one line command:
CKLN $ <old len> <new len> $ Y

Put any single line command in the file and you are all set! Pretty easy. The nice thing about the script is it checks for success or failure of a command, so abort can be transmitted if need be. This prevents the script from completly bombing out.

Lets try attaching again.

Thanks for the info, I didn't think to put it a word file. I manually did all phones one at a time--what a joy that was.

The way I workied it was a QLENWRK ALL ALL IBN $ D and then just imported it into a word doc to use while adding the command. It was a pain but Nortel nor my tech support could figure out another way of doing it.

I will have to figure out another way due to not being able to FTP into my switch.

Thanks again rhack for the help and ideas.

Discounting ftp, you can still use Procomm. It works very well. To get all of the analog lines, try going into IBNLINES next time:

TABLE: IBNLINES
>FORMAT PACK
<line length>: 76 columns can be output per line.
<pack mode>: Pack mode is ON.
<indent column>: Indented lines will begin in column 1.
<first column>: The first column of output is column 1.
>LIS 10
TOPs 10
LEN DNNO RESULT
---------------
HOST 00 0 02 00 0 DT MDN IBN 5557474 NOV 0 11 704 MCA 0 Y Y (LNR) $
HOST 00 0 02 01 0 DT STN IBN 5557477 NOV 0 12 704 (LNR) $
HOST 00 0 02 02 0 DT STN IBN 5557451 NOV 0 11 704 (3WC) (LNR) $
HOST 00 0 02 03 0 DT STN IBN 5557455 NOV 0 11 704 (3WC) (LNR) $
HOST 00 0 02 04 0 DT STN IBN 5557473 NOV 0 11 704 (LNR) $

You can then easily import into excel. Delete the LENS you don't want to change, then delete all columns except the LEN. Next insert a column before the LEN. In the first cell of the new column enter ADO $, then either copy and paste or just drag the cell to all the cells below to auto fill the column. Do the same with the column after the LEN, add your feature, CFD N 5551234 $ Y for example. You will end up with a spreadsheet with all of the changes you need to make. Next save the sheet as a text file. If you rename the file to CKLN.TXT you can use the script I sent to you as is. Just make sure the text file is in the same folder as the script. The file I attached previously will need to be opened in procom with the Aspect editor and compiled.

Take a look at this one:

Tera Term is free, highly reliable and really straight forward.

The program seems interesting, i will play with it more later.

This site is great. I just wish there were more DMS guys in here.

But I currently work on both 61 and sl100 (DMS 100) and both have mermail.
