additional point of data, the level of the database when the export finished is placed at the end of
the export file.
PDBI Format
Formatting the output as PDBI commands allows the resulting file to be used as an import file. The
format of the commands in the file is exactly the same as the PDBI commands specified in this document.
Commands placed in the export file may not be the actual commands that originally created the
instances. For example, if a DN was created originally on SP1 and subsequently updated to move to
SP2, there would only be one command that creates the DN on SP2.
If the Number Prefix feature is turned on in the EPAP user interface, the generated PDBI commands
follow the Number Prefix rules described in the Number Prefix section.
The file is ordered as follows:
1.
Network Entities
2.
IMSIs (with associated DNs if any exist and DN updates for individualized data)
3.
Single DNs (that are not associated with any IMSI)
4.
DN Blocks
5.
IMEIs (with associated IMSIs)
6.
IMEI blocks
7.
Update DNs (with information like TIF Number Substitution)
Raw Delimited ASCII Format
Formatting the output as raw delimited ASCII creates a file that can easily be read by other client
applications. The delimiter can be chosen on the EPAP user interface from a short list of possible
delimiter types (for example, comma, pipe, space). The resulting file contains six separate sections.
Each of the following sections corresponds to a data type, as follows:
•
Network Entities
•
IMSIs
•
Single DNs
•
DN Blocks
•
Single IMEIs
•
IMEI Blocks
The start of each section has a comment line (line starting with #) as its header. The content of the data
lines depends on the section. In an effort to keep the resulting file as small as possible, fields whose
values come from enum-like list of strings use only the first character of the choice.
Network Entities
The first section in the file contains all of the Network Entities. The data on each line is similar to the
data that can be provided on a ent_entity command.
