6.2 User Record Format

You can synchronize your databases whenever you add, update, or delete users. The User Record format provides a standard comma-delimited text file that allows you to import or export a user list to other enterprise databases.

The user records are stored in /var/iic/cdr/user.elg on the host specified in addressbk_host in the global-config file for the cluster. The file is rotated daily to /var/iic/cdr/user+<timestamp>.log. You might want to place /var/iic/cdr on a network file system to facilitate the retrieval of user records. Otherwise, you can retrieve the call data records by using tools such as ssh/scp.

Importing user record data is handled through the addressbk.update_contact API call, which is described in the External API document. The database service outputs the data in the following table when users are added, updated, or deleted. The following table describes each of the records, their type, and the maximum length allowed:
