Importing Rules

Once a rule has been designed, exporting the rule is recommended to
provide a backup copy and that file can be copied to other Call Managers. To
export a rule, you will need to be in the Add/Edit Rule screen and click the
Export Rule button. Pressing Export Rule copies the details of the rule into a
special file named: xx.RUI where 'xx' is a number assigned by the system
corresponding to the rule number (e.g. 2.ACI).
The file is exported into the user's application data folder (typically,
"C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Toshiba\Strata
Call Manager"). In order to identify the file more easily you may then want to
user Explorer to rename that file to something more appropriate (e.g.
PLAYBELL.RUI). When renaming a rule file always limit the file name to 8
characters prior to the .RUI extension. This file can then be copied to another
PC to give a copy of the rule to another user of the Call Manager. Leaving a
copy in this folder will provide a backup copy of the rule that will be loaded at
startup of Call Manager if that rule had been somehow deleted in the
Personal Call Handler Rules List (see Importing Rules below for more
details).
When exporting a rule, if a file with that name already exists, an error
Note:
message will occur and the rule will not be copied – when this occurs
you will need to use Explorer to rename the existing file and then
export again.
When the Call Manager program starts up, it automatically imports rules from
the compiled NET_PHN.RUL rules file plus all rule files (*.RUx) it finds in its
startup folder. The last character used in the file name extension defines how
the rule file is treated when importing:
.RUI – These files are individual rules created by exporting. These will be
•
imported only when a rule using the same name does not exist in the
compiled file. Thus, when this file exists and the user made changes to
this rule, the user can revert back to the original operation by deleting the
current rule in Call Manager then stopping and restarting Call Manager.
.RU1 – Upon startup, Call Manager always imports rules from all "One-
•
Shot" rule files (*.RU1). When a rule with the same name exists, the rule
will be overwritten. Once imported, the One-Shot export file is deleted.
These one-shot files can thus be used to import a rule just one time
allowing the user to change or delete the rule as desired.
.RUO – Upon startup, Call Manager always imports all "Over-Write" rule
•
files, which overwrites any rule of the same name. These files can be
useful to ensure the rules do not get changed or when wanting to make
the same update on other Call Managers.
.RU0 – These are another type of rule file that is imported only at initial
•
startup of the program or when the compiled rules file "AGT_PHN.RUL" is
not found at startup.
These types of files allow you to design a rule, export it, rename as needed
and then copy the exported file to all PCs that need that rule. These are also
useful to overcome a user accidentally deleting a rule, since exiting and
restarting Call Manager will restore that rule.
