MAS - VME - Running the Bulk Voice Mail Enabler (VMEnable)

To administer subscriber mailboxes, you must run the Bulk Voice Mail Enabler on the Messaging Application Server (MAS) on which the VMEnable.EXE file is installed. Changes are propagated automatically to the other MASs in the voice mail domain.

Administration Rights

In order to use the Bulk Voice Mail Enabler, you must be a member of the Avaya Modular Messaging System Administrators Access Control List (ACL). This is configured in the Voice Mail System Configuration application, Security, System Administration ACL dialog box. See VMSC - VMD - Security - System Administration ACL.

The MAS Domino account must have the Manager or higher access and UserModifier role. To assign the correct level of access and role, edit the ACL of the Administration Requests database.

Executing the Bulk Voice Mail Enabler Command

At the command prompt, move to the directory containing the VMEnable.EXE file, typically C:\Avaya_Support\Tools\VMEnable\.

Run the Bulk Voice Mail Enabler and set the required parameters. For example:

vmenable /import "D:\USER DATA\VMNew.CSV" /vserver RUTABAGA.

For more information on these parameters, see MAS - VME - Bulk Voice Mail Enabler (VMEnable) Command Parameters.

Press Enter on the keyboard.

Processing Status Messages

Processing import file Displays the time at which the Bulk Voice Mail Enabler started processing the Comma Separated Value (*.CSV) input file.

Progress Indicates the percentage of completion of processing the input file.

Record Indicates the number of records that have been processed so far.

ETA (Sands for the Estimated Time Available). Indicates the probable time in which the Bulk Voice Mail Enabler can complete processing the input file.

Error Indicates where an error occurred while processing.

Line Indicates the line number at which the error occurred and the unique HRESULT that the corresponding error represents.

Note: For information on any error messages, see MAS - VME - Correcting Bulk Voice Mail Enabler (VMEnable) Errors.

Successful Completion

On successfully processing the input file, the system displays the message Complete.

When the Bulk Voice Mail Enabler has completed processing the input file, voice mail is enabled for the selected subscribers on that MAS immediately. For large lists of subscribers, it could take around 10 minutes.

When you run the Bulk Voice Mail Enabler on a voice mail domain with multiple MASs, it would take about 10 minutes for the changes to propagate from the MAS on which it is run to the other MASs in the domain.
