Additional Information on UBA Parameter Values 

INSTANCES 

The DataChannel UBA application supports multiple instances of technology packs running in a single channel 
component. Therefore, there must be a way to guarantee that the UBA parses the correct design file and reads 
the appropriate Bulk input files. The 

INSTANCES

 parameter helps ensure that the DataChannel UBA application 

performs the correct operation for a specific technology pack. 

The Cisco IP Telephony Technology Pack provides an 

INSTANCES

 parameter in its 

voip_cisco_ipt_sample_dc.cfg

 template file. You supply an arbitrary string — referred to as a group alias 

— to the 

INSTANCES

 parameter. After you define the 

INSTANCES

 parameter with a specific string, make sure 

you specify this string wherever <instance> appears in the template file. 

You can associate this group alias with any arbitrary string. For example, you might associate this group alias with 
the location (for example, 

BOSTON

, 

LOWELL

, 

BERLIN

, 

PARIS

, and so forth) of the data source. 

URI 

You must specify the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for each CCM Publisher bulk adaptor configured in the 

dc.cfg

 file. 

The syntax for the URI is as follows. The variable portions of the URI string are indicated by italic text within 
brackets (< >):

UBA.2.215.SANFRANCISCO.CCMINPUT.URI=sqldb:odbc*threaded/username=<userName>&

 

password=<password>&environment=<dataSourceName>

For example:

UBA.2.215.SANFRANCISCO.CCMINPUT.URI=sqldb:odbc*threaded/username=sa&password
=netcool&environment=SANFRANCISCO

 

Replace with the channel number that was configured for this 
technology pack. This channel number appears in the dc.cfg 
file. 

Replace with the UBA Bulk Collector number that was configured 
for this technology pack. This collector number appears in the 
dc.cfg

 file. 

<instance> 

Replace the variable with an arbitrary string (for example, 
LOWELL) that identifies a group alias to be associated with 
subsequent lines in this section of the 

dc.cfg

 file. See Additional 

Information on UBA Parameter Values on page 486 for more 
information on this UBA parameter value.
