It is a Python script, to execute multiple commands on Avaya Communication Manager, and write output data into the CSV file for later processing. It is ideal tool to repeat a command many times which not available as import in Avaya Site Administration Tool (eg. list usage)

As input arguments need to define the followings:

• host
• Username
• Password
• Input file
• Output file

For all available option use "ossi_tool -h"

Usage example:

- $ ossi_tool 192.168.10.10 sampleuser -ppassword -i commands.csv -o outputfile.csv

- $ ossi_tool 192.168.10.10 sampleuser -ppassword -c 'list node-name all'
