A calling search space comprises an ordered list of route partitions that are typically assigned to devices. Calling search spaces determine the partitions where calling devices search when they are attempting to complete a call. For more detailed information on calling search spaces and partitions, refer to "Partitions and Calling Search Spaces" in the Cisco CallManager System Guide.

Deleting a Calling Search Space

The following procedure describes how to delete a calling search space.

Before You Begin

You cannot delete calling search spaces that are being used by devices, lines (DNs), translation patterns, or other items. To find out which devices, lines, translation patterns, or other items are using the calling search space, click the Dependency Records link from the Calling Search Space Configuration window. For more information about dependency records, see the "Accessing Dependency Records" section on page A-1. If you try to delete a calling search space that is in use, Cisco CallManager displays an error message. Before deleting a calling search space that is currently in use, you must perform either or both of the following tasks:

•Assign a different calling search space to any devices, lines, or translation patterns that are using the calling search space that you want to delete. See the "Adding Devices to Cisco CallManager" section on page 40-1, the "Configuring Directory Numbers" section on page 45-29, and the "Updating a Translation Pattern" section on page 20-5.

•Delete the devices, lines, or translation patterns that are using the calling search space that you want to delete. See the Device Configuration chapter, the "Deleting a Directory Number" section on page 45-33, and the "Deleting a Translation Pattern" section on page 20-7.

Procedure

---

Step 1 In the menu bar, choose Route Plan > Calling Search Space.

Step 2 Locate the calling search space that you want to delete. See the "Finding a Calling Search Space" section.

Step 3 Check the check box of the calling search space that you want to delete and click Delete Selected.

A message displays that states that you cannot undo this action.

Step 4 Click OK to delete the calling search space or click Cancel to cancel the deletion.

---

Caution Before initiating this action, check carefully to ensure that you are deleting the correct calling search space. You cannot retrieve deleted calling search spaces. If a calling search space is accidentally deleted, you must rebuild it.

Calling Search Space Configuration Settings

Table 15-1 describes the calling search space configuration settings.

Table 15-1 Calling Search Space Configuration Settings 

Field	Description
Calling Search Space Name	Enter a name in the Calling Search Space Name field. The name can comprise up to 50 alphanumeric characters and can contain any combination of spaces, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_). Ensure each calling search space name is unique to the plan. Note Use concise and descriptive names for your calling search spaces. The CompanynameLocationCalltype format usually provides a sufficient level of detail and is short enough to enable you to quickly and easily identify a calling search space. For example, CiscoDallasMetroCS identifies a calling search space for toll-free, inter-local access and transport area (LATA) calls from the Cisco office in Dallas.
Description	Enter a description in the Description field. The description can comprise up to 50 alphanumeric characters and can contain any combination of spaces, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_).
Find Partitions containing	Enter the character(s) that are found in the partition name that you are seeking and click the Find button. Partition names that match the character(s) that you entered display in the Available Partitions box.
Available Partitions	Choose a partition in the Available Partitions list box and add it to the Selected Partitions list box by clicking the arrow button between the two list boxes. To add a range of partitions at once, click on the first partition in the range; then, hold down the Shift key while clicking on the last partition in the range. Click the arrow button between the two list boxes to add the range of partitions. To add multiple partitions that are not contiguous, hold down the Control (Ctrl) key while clicking on multiple partitions. Click the arrow button between the two list boxes to add the chosen partitions. Note The length of the partition names limits the maximum number of partitions that can be added to a calling search space. Table 15-2 provides examples of the maximum number of partitions that can be added to a calling search space if partition names are of fixed length.
Selected Partitions (ordered by highest priority)	To change the priority of a partition, choose a partition name in the Selected Partitions list box. Move the partition up or down in the list by clicking the arrows on the right side of the list box.

Table 15-2 provides examples of the maximum number of partitions that can be added to a calling search space if partition names are of fixed length. Refer to "Partition Name Limitations" in the Cisco CallManager System Guide for details about how this maximum number is calculated.

Table 15-2 Calling Search Space Partition Limitations 

Partition Name Length	Maximum Number of Partitions
2 characters	170
3 characters	128
4 characters	102
5 characters	86
. . .	. . .
