Export Rules Once a rule has been designed, exporting the rule is recommended to provide a
backup copy and that file can be copied to other Call Managers. To export a rule,
you will need to be in the Add/Edit Rule screen and click the Export Rule button.
Pressing Export Rule copies the details of the rule into a special file named:
xx.RUI where 'xx' is a number assigned by the system corresponding to the rule
number (i.e. 2.ACI).
The file is exported into the user’s application data folder (typically,
“C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Toshiba\Strata Call
Manager”). In order to identify the file more easily you may then want to user
Explorer to rename that file to something more appropriate (i.e. PLAYBELL.RUI).
When renaming a rule file always limit the file name to 8 characters prior to the
.RUI extension. This file can then be copied to another PC to give a copy of the
rule to another user of the Call Manager. Leaving a copy in this folder will provide
a backup copy of the rule that will be loaded at startup of Call Manager if that rule
had been somehow deleted in the Personal Call Handler Rules List (see
Importing Rules below for more details).
Note: When exporting a rule, if a file with that name already exists, an error
message will occur and the rule will not be copied – when this occurs you
will need to use Explorer to rename the existing file and then export
again.
Importing Rules When the Call Manager program starts up, it automatically imports rules from the
compiled NET_PHN.RUL rules file plus all rule files (*.RUx) it finds in its startup
folder. The last character used in the file name extension defines how the rule file
is treated when importing:
• .RUI – These files are individual rules created by exporting. These will be
imported only when a rule using the same name does not exist in the
compiled file. Thus, when this file exists and the user made changes to this
rule, the user can revert back to the original operation by deleting the current
rule in Call Manager then stopping and restarting Call Manager.
• .RU1 – Upon startup, Call Manager always imports rules from all “One-Shot”
rule files (*.RU1). When a rule with the same name exists, the rule will be
overwritten. Once imported, the One-Shot export file is deleted. These one-
shot files can thus be used to import a rule just one time allowing the user to
change or delete the rule as desired.
• .RUO – Upon startup, Call Manager always imports all “Over-Write” rule
files, which overwrites any rule of the same name. These files can be useful
to ensure the rules do not get changed or when wanting to make the same
update on other Call Managers.
• .RU0 – These are another type of rule file that is imported only at initial startup
of the program or when the compiled rules file “AGT_PHN.RUL” is not found
at startup.
These types of files allow you to design a rule, export it, rename as needed and
then copy the exported file to all PCs that need that rule. These are also useful to
overcome a user accidentally deleting a rule, since exiting and restarting Call
Manager will restore that rule.
