Example Searches And Transforms - Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server Administrator's Manual

Field Description
On Controls the ongoing search behavior if
successful the alias matches the search rule.
match
Continue: continue applying the
remaining search rules (in priority order)
until the endpoint identified by the alias
is found.
Stop: do not apply any more search
rules, even if the endpoint identified by
the alias is not found in the target zone.
Target The zone or policy service to query if the
alias matches the search rule.
State Indicates if the search rule is enabled or
not.
Click on the rule you want to configure (or click New to create a new rule, or click Delete to remove a
rule).
You can test whether the VCS can find an endpoint identified by a given alias, without actually placing
a call to that endpoint by using the

Example searches and transforms

You can use pre-search transforms and search rules separately or together. You can also define
multiple search rules that use a combination of Any alias and Alias pattern match modes, and apply
the same or different priorities to each rule. This will give you a great deal of flexibility in determining if
and when a target zone is queried and whether any transforms are applied.
This section gives the following examples that demonstrate how you might use pre-search transforms
and search rules to solve specific use cases in your deployment:
Filter queries to a zone using the original alias
n
Always query a zone using the original alias
n
Always query a zone using a transformed alias
n
Query a zone using both the original and transformed alias
n
Query a zone using two or more different transformed aliases

Usage tips
If Stop is selected, any rules with the
same priority level as this rule are still
applied.
You can configure external
services to use as a target of search
rules. This could be used, for example, to
call out to an external service or
application, such as a Conference
Factory. The service will return some
CPL which could, for example, specify a
new destination alias which would start
the search process over again.
When you are making or testing
configuration changes to your search
rules, you may want to temporarily
enable or disable certain rules. You can
do this by selecting the rule's check box
and clicking Enable or Disable as
appropriate. Any disabled rules still
appear in the search rules list but are
ignored by the VCS when processing
search requests.
