Usage:
Available options:
         Share a time interval with a different account
                perl time_interval.pl share <time_interval_id> <client_id>
                E.G.: perl time_interval.pl share 2 4

         Dump a time interval to a file
                perl time_interval.pl dump <time_interval_id> <file_name or empty>
                E.G.: perl time_interval.pl dump 2 afterhours

         Restore a time interval from a file
                perl time_interval.pl restore <client_id> <file_name or empty>
                E.G.: perl time_interval.pl restore 2 afterhours.json

Cloning time intervals on a different account

To clone an existing time interval on a different account, you need to know the ID of the time interval and the client ID of the destination account.

Code Block
perl time_interval.pl share <time_interval_id> <client_id>

Let's assume that the ID of the After Hours matching time interval created on the Admin level (Unified Communications >> Time Intervals) is 21, and let's copy the time interval on the Service Provider with ID 2.

Shell
#> perl time_interval.pl share 21 2 TimeInterval AfterHours has been added on accountID: 2

Saving time intervals to a file

Assuming we want to create the same time interval on a different server, we need to save it to a file and restore it where it is needed.

In our example, we will use the same time interval with ID 21, used for After Hours matching, and we will run the following command:

Shell
#> perl time_interval.pl dump 21 afterhours Time Interval AfterHours saved in afterhours.json

A new file similar to the one below (afterhours.json) will be created.

Code Block

{"mod_date":"2016-01-22 09:42:36","cr_date":"2015-11-10 12:11:09","client_id":"1","name":"AfterHours","data":[{"end_day":"31","time_interval_id":"21","month":"0","start_time":"00:00:00","end_time":"09:59:00","start_wkday":"2","end_wkday":"6","start_day":"1","td_id":"40"},{"end_day":"31","time_interval_id":"21","month":"0","start_time":"17:00:00","end_time":"23:59:00","start_wkday":"2","end_wkday":"6","start_day":"1","td_id":"41"},{"end_day":"31","time_interval_id":"21","month":"0","start_time":"00:00:00","end_time":"23:59:00","start_wkday":"7","end_wkday":"1","start_day":"1","td_id":"42"}],"timezone_id":"248","id":"21","type":"day"}

Restoring time intervals from file to an existing account

Code Block
perl time_interval.pl restore <client_id> <file_name or empty>

Let's restore the time interval saved earlier to an existing account with ID 2. We will use the following command:

Shell
#> perl time_interval.pl restore 2 afterhours.json TimeInterval AfterHours has been restored on accountID: 2
