Reset the Configuration of DHCTs in a Prepared Text File

3  Do you want to transmit staging EMMs to the DHCTs for which you just reset 
the configuration? 
Note:  You may prefer, instead, to leave the DHCTs without any staging EMMs 
for a while. 
 
If yes, notify your billing system vendor to transmit a 
ModifyDhctConfiguration transaction that refreshes the DHCTs with the set 
of staging EMMs. 
Important!  An InstantHit transaction is not sufficient. 
 
If no, you are finished with this procedure. 
 
Resetting the Configuration of DHCTs in a Text File That Are Not In-
Service 
DHCTs are usually considered to be not in-service when they have a status of out-of-
service. On systems that use the HCTM_PROVISIONING_APP variable, DHCTs 
that have a status of deployed are also considered to be not in-service. Follow these 
instructions to reset the configuration of DHCTs that already have a status of out-of-
service (or deployed). 
Notes: 
 
If the site uses the HCTM_PROVISIONING_APP variable, this procedure will 
de-provision those DHCTs that have a status of deployed or out-of-service. 
 
If the site does not use the HCTM_PROVISIONING_APP variable, this 
procedure will de-provision those DHCTs that have a status of out-of-service.  
1  If necessary, open an xterm window on the DNCS. 
2  Type delete-sm  [input file name]  > [output file name] and then press Enter
Notes: 
 
Substitute the name of your prepared text file for [input file name]. 
 
Substitute the name of the file to which you want to direct the output for 
[output file name]. 
Example:  delete-sm  del-sm-in_08.31.01  >  del-sm-out_08.31.01 
Results: 
 
The delete-sm utility resets the configuration for every DHCT listed in [input 
file name] that is marked as out-of-service or deployed (depending upon 
whether the site uses the HCTM_PROVISIONING_APP variable) in the 
database. 
Note:  The delete-sm utility skips over DHCTs marked as in-service. 
 
The delete-sm utility generates a list of DHCTs processed by the delete-sm 
utility. 
 
Cisco recommends that you direct this list to a file so that you can later 
examine it.
