I have done this a few times. Like Sterling says, just put all six color
code in the sm's and let the system sort itself out.
You can remove the 'useless' codes after the site has settled down. I
don't have any code to do it, it would have taken longer to write the code.

I think you could add secondary and tertiary color codes to the
AP’s, then just go through the SM’s and change their CC to
whatever works best for them.
I seem to recall doing that often years ago, but not sure if there is
an easier way other than manually.
I know JAB had written a very nice platform to do something like this
with Canopy, again, years ago.

*Subject:* [AFMUG] Canopy moving from 1 color code per tower to 1
color code per AP
Hi Gang,
due to historical reasons that are no longer valid we currently have 1
color code assigned to all APs per tower. I'd like to move to 1 color
code per AP. However, this would require first gathering all the data
from the SMs as to which AP is their best, which is second best and
which is third best (we often have multiple APs aimed in almost the
same direction). We have hundreds of APs and thousands of SMs so
having a monkey log into each SM and log this data would probably take
a couple lifetimes haha.
Before I go hire someone to write some scripts and create a database
to get this project going, I was wondering if any of you have already
done this and if you have any software tools you'd be willing to
share/sell.
Also if anyone else is thinking of doing this would you want to go in
on the development together? (if no one else has accomplished this)
thanks,
-Sean
