Saving and Activating Your Provisioning Changes
When you have completed making provisioning changes in your session, you must enter a command to
save and activate your changes. There are two different provisioning MML commands that do this:
prov-cpy and prov-dply.
Caution Using the prov-cpy or prov-dply MML command can severely impact your system’s call processing
performance, depending on the extent of your provisioning changes. We recommend that these
commands be issued during a maintenance window when traffic is minimal.
The prov-cpy MML command is used to save and activate your changes on simplex Cisco MGC (single
host) systems.
Note When you enter the prov-cpy command, your provisioning session is also automatically ended. If you
want to make additional provisioning changes, you must start a new provisioning session as described
in the “Starting a Provisioning Session” section on page 9.
Caution Do not use the prov-cpy command to save and activate your changes on a continuous-service
Cisco MGC system (one with active and standby hosts). Saving and activating using prov-cpy on such
a system would require using the prov-sync MML command to synchronize the provisioning data on the
active and standby hosts. The system does not indicate when the synchronization process fails, which
would create problems for any future switchover operations.
The prov-dply MML command is used to save and activate your changes on the active and standby
Cisco MGCs in a continuous-service system. This command should not be used on a Cisco MGC in a
simplex configuration.
Note When you enter the prov-dply command, your provisioning session is also automatically ended, unless
an error occurs during execution. If you want to make additional provisioning changes, you must start a
new provisioning session, as described in the “Starting a Provisioning Session” section on page 9.
Ending a Provisioning Session Without Activating Your Changes
You may find that you want to end a provisioning session without saving and activating the changes you
have entered during your session. If this is the case, you can enter the prov-stp MML command. This
command ends your current provisioning session and your changes are not entered.
Retrieving Provisioning Data
You can use the prov-rtrv MML command to retrieve information about your current provisioning
settings. The ways in which you can use this command to retrieve provisioning data are described in the
following sections:
• Retrieving Data for an Individual Component, page 11
• Retrieving Data for All Components, page 11
• Retrieving Data for All Components of a Particular Type, page 11
• Retrieving Data on the Current Provisioning Session, page 11
