Import
DDI Plan entries exported from the same system or from another system can be imported into a specified
DDI Plan. The file containing these entries must be called ddiplan.txt and copied into the ftp directory of
the Call Server. This area can be accessed via a browser or Command Prompt as described in the Admin
Access to a Call Server section on page 273.
To import the entries contained in this file:
1
Firstly determine into which DDI Plan these entries will be copied
2
Enter the name of the DDI Plan in the Use This Plan field. This DDI Plan must already exist on the
database.
3
Select the Import button.
4
Confirmation that each entry has been added to the database will be displayed.
5
Select Continue at the bottom to return to the File Import/Export screen.
No checks are made for duplicate entries.
The Time Plan field will not be imported unless ddiplan.txt has been created from a file exported from the
same system and the Import Option is selected, see below.
The Import function will always add entries to the database; therefore if you accidentally press the Import
button twice the entries will be added twice. Use the Remove button to correct this.
Remove
The Remove button will delete all entries from the DDI Plan entered in the Use This Plan field that match
entries found in ddiplan.txt. Additional entries created manually will not be deleted. Confirmation that
each entry has been deleted from the database will be displayed. Select Continue at the bottom to
return to the File Import/Export screen.
Export
The Export option will copy all DDI Plan entries contained in the DDI Plan entered in the Use This Plan
field to a file called ddiplan.out.txt. If an existing ddiplan.out.txt already exists this will be overwritten.
You may wish to make a copy of this file before performing an Export.
If you wish to open ddiplan.out.txt in Microsoft Excel, for example, change the file extension from “.txt” to
“.csv”.
You may wish to use this file as a means of changing the order the DDI Plan entries are displayed in the
DDI Plan. Make the changes required, save the file as ddiplan.txt and copy it into the ftp directory.
Ensure the required DDI Plan has been entered in the Use This Plan field and Import the file.
Export & Delete
This option will export all DDI Plan entries from the specified Dial Plan to dialplan.txt and delete the
entries from the specified Dial Plan.
Import Option
If the ddiplan.txt file was created from a file exported from the same system then this option can be
selected and Time Plan field will be imported.
