Working WLC backups for NCM 6.1 and WLC 6.0.X

Anybody have a working script for NCM 6.1 and Cisco WLCs running 6.0.X or 7.0.X code?

Here's what I'm using today:

<Configuration-Management Device="Cisco WLC" SystemOID=" 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.828">
    <Commands>
        <Command Name="PreCommand" Value="${CRLF}"/>
              <Command Name="RESET" Value=""/>
        <Command Name="DownloadConfig" Value="show run-config"/>
        <Command Name="More" Value="Press Enter to continue Or <Ctrl Z> to abort"/>
    </Commands>
</Configuration-Management>

The issue I'm seeing is that the WLC appears to have two different "more" prompts. Mid-config section the prompt is:
--More or (q)uit current module or <ctrl-z> to abort

At the end of each section, the prompt is:
Press Enter to continue or <ctrl-z> to abort

Enabling tracing shows this repeating over and over in the logs:
[5/4/2011 2:24:21 PM] TimerTick: mstrData=<> State=3 - Connected to server - idle
[5/4/2011 2:24:21 PM] Pending Disconnect = False
[5/4/2011 2:24:21 PM] Pre-Commands: Waiting more than 3 seconds for response start sending pre-command if any...
[5/4/2011 2:24:21 PM] Config Prompt detector error: Invalid procedure call or argumentCurrentLine:
[5/4/2011 2:24:21 PM] Fuzzy match detector start detecting prompt. String1= String2=(ciscocontroller)>
[5/4/2011 2:24:21 PM] TimerTick: Just tick-tockin away. ..

Also seeing this same issue on our 4400s running 6.0.202 and a 5508 running 7.0.X.

Any suggestions or known working scripts?

I have the same issue. Anyone ever come up with a solution?

Have you tried playing with the terminal length command in order to try to get rid of teh "more"?

On some devices, the syntax looks like this... <Command Name="RESET" Value="terminal length 1000" />

TFTP is the only way to get this without --More-- Lines that I have come across, as there is not a way to turn off paging.(again from what I ahve been able to find)

Back up the Current WLC Template:

Replace the current WLC tempalte Commands with the following and set the transfer protocol to TFTP:

Note: With this also the SSH ro Telnet will give an output as TFTP, but will still probably have a more lineor two.

We have been using the following WLC template by Jodros:

<Configuration-Management Device="Cisco WLC" SystemOID=" 1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.1.1.4.3">
<Commands>
   <Command Name="DisablePaging" Value="config paging disable" Delay="300"/>
  <Command Name="DownloadConfig" Value="show run-config commands"/>
  <Command Name="Reboot" Value=""/>
  <Command Name="EnterConfigMode" Value=""/>
  <Command Name="ExitConfigMode" Value=""/>
  <Command Name="Startup" Value=""/>
  <Command Name="Running" Value=""/>
  <Command Name="UploadConfig" Value=""/>
  <Command Name="DownloadConfigIndirect" Value=""/>
  <Command Name="UploadConfigIndirect" Value=""/>
  <Command Name="EraseConfig" Value=""/>
  <Command Name="SaveConfig" Value=""/>
  <Command Name="Version" Value=""/>
  <Command Name="PreCommand" Value="${CRLF}" Delay="1"/>
  <Command Name="More" Value="(q)uit" Delay="1"/>
  <Command Name="MenuBased" Value="false"/>
  <Command Name="VirtualPrompt" Value="(Cisco Controller) >"/>
</Commands>
</Configuration-Management>

It is working great for our 6.0 WLCs.
