Pack-Specific UBA Parameter Values Additional Information on UBA Parameter Values INSTANCES
The DataChannel UBA application supports multiple instances of technology packs running in a single channel
component. Therefore, there must be a way to guarantee that the UBA parses the correct design file and reads
the appropriate Bulk input files. The INSTANCES parameter helps ensure that the DataChannel UBA application
performs the correct operation for a specific technology pack.
The Cisco IP Telephony Technology Pack provides an INSTANCES parameter in its
voip_cisco_ipt_sample_dc.cfg template file. You supply an arbitrary string — referred to as a group alias
— to the INSTANCES parameter. After you define the INSTANCES parameter with a specific string, make sure
you specify this string wherever <instance> appears in the template file.
You can associate this group alias with any arbitrary string. For example, you might associate this group alias with
the location (for example, BOSTON, LOWELL, BERLIN, PARIS, and so forth) of the data source.
URI
You must specify the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for each CCM Publisher bulk adaptor configured in the
dc.cfg file.
The syntax for the URI is as follows. The variable portions of the URI string are indicated by italic text within
brackets (< >):
UBA.2.215.SANFRANCISCO.CCMINPUT.URI=sqldb:odbc*threaded/username=<userName>&
password=<password>&environment=<dataSourceName>
For example:
UBA.2.215.SANFRANCISCO.CCMINPUT.URI=sqldb:odbc*threaded/username=sa&password
=netcool&environment=SANFRANCISCO
Note: The URIs you specify in the dc.cfg file must match the URIs of each CCM Publisher data source defined
in the odbc.ini file.
UBA Parameter Value Meaning
<channel_number> Replace with the channel number that was configured for this
technology pack. This channel number appears in the dc.cfg
file.
<collector_number> Replace with the UBA Bulk Collector number that was configured
for this technology pack. This collector number appears in the
dc.cfg file.
<instance> Replace the variable with an arbitrary string (for example,
LOWELL) that identifies a group alias to be associated with
subsequent lines in this section of the dc.cfg file. See Additional
Information on UBA Parameter Values on page 486 for more
information on this UBA parameter value.
<input_files_location> Specify the URIs of each CCM Publisher data source defined in the
odbc.ini file.
