Extension Mobility Cross Cluster Template

This chapter provides information to use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration (BAT) to insert, update, or delete Extension Mobility Cross Cluster (EMCC) in batches, rather than performing individual updates through Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.

EMCC Templates

Use BAT EMCC templates to define the common EMCC attributes to add a group of new EMCC. Prior to creating the template, make sure EMCC settings have already been configured in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. You cannot create new settings in BAT.

Find EMCC Template

Because you might have several EMCC templates, Cisco Unified Communications Manager lets you locate specific templates on the basis of specific criteria. Use the following procedure to locate templates.
