Cisco Shell Schema Groups: Overview¶
To deploy your own existing dial plan rather than one of Cisco’s out-of-the-box dial plans, use the shell schema group to enable core functionality without deploying a preconfigured VOSS Automate schema group. The shell schema group provides a starting point for you to build your own dial plan. The shell schema group has no preset site default values other than Default Device Pool and Default CUCM Group. The shell schema group does not contain any default core schemas, features schemas, or country schemas. You can clone the shell schema group instance and tailor all other settings to your own specifications.
On the Custom Workflows tab, the shell schema group provides default workflows for the following registry events used to create customer inventories and associations:
addDnInventory - allows you to create DN inventory without enforcing any rules or constraints on the DN numbers
addE164Inventory - allows you to create E164 inventory without enforcing any rules or constraints on the E164 number other than enforcing the country code prefix for a given site
associateE164ToDn - allows E164 to DN number association (N to N) on VOSS Automate without configuring anything on Cisco Unified CM
unassociateE164ToDn - removes E164 to DN number association (N to N) from VOSS Automate without removing anything on Cisco Unified CM
associateE164ToSingleDn - allows E164 to DN number association (N to 1) on VOSS Automate without configuring anything on Cisco Unified CM
unassociateE164ToSingleDn - removes E164 to DN number association (N to 1) on VOSS Automate without removing anything on Cisco Unified CM
For more information on configuring schema groups and associating them with customers, refer to the Provider HCS Dial Plan Management Support Guide.
