Cisco Unity Connection 9.1 Call handling

Dears,
I want to configure the call handling means if some body calls on board line 24500000 the corporate opening greeting should be played and then press 1 for sales, press 2 for technical,press 3 for presales, these all audio (corporate greeting, press 1 for sales ,press2 for technical etc....) can be done by a text to speech in unity connection or i have to enroll a audio recording company.
Also please route me to good doc how to configure call handling.
Thanks

Hi Clark,
Just to add a note to the good tips from Chris (+5!)
I would go through the training tips for this great tool designed to build Call Handlers. It's called AudioText Manager;
http://www.ciscounitytools.com/Applications/CxN/ATM/ATM.html
Then you can use the Greetings Administrator Conversation to do all your recordings

Setting up Directory Handlers under Cisco Unity Connection

Good Day All,
I am in the process of setting up directory handlers for Cisco Unity connection.
When I dial the extension for the directory handler ; I hear the default Cisco Unity connection greeting instead of being prompted for the search.
Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much
Regards
Amanda

Hi javalenc,
Of course , that was right. I worked it out in the end.
I was trying to copy the configuration from an older version of CUC and basically added an un-needed call forwarding rule under the Directory Handler. As soon as I removed it; the directory worked normally.
The other thing I learned last weekend was that the order of the routing rules is important.
My directory had the first priority and it was causing people who wanted to leave a voicemail for other users to get the prompts for the directory.
Thanks so much for the help though.
Regards,
Amanda Lalli-Cafini

Cisco Unity Connection 8.6 problem with greeting upload

Hello at all,
i have a realy strange Problem.
I want to upload a Greeting (*.wav-file) to a Call Handler, everything looks fine after uploading and i can also hear (Playback) the massage on the Computer and on my Phone. So i save the Config. After that i want to hear the massage after calling the Call Handler but i hear only "sorry, "CallHandlerName" is not Awailable".
If i make some checks everything looks ok, i have 2 User with sysadmin-role - both can Playback the massage via the Webpage.
But if i take the Phone and call the "Greetings Administrator" - there is no personal Greeting on this Call Handler - and thats my Problem.
If i Record a new massage with the Phone (in the Greeting Admin) it is working - after Uploading a new File (Codec is ok) i can Playback the new file but after Calling the CH, i hear the Massage which i have recordet with the Phone - not the Uploadet. But on the Webpage i hear the Uploadet file.....
Whats wrong????
And yes, i have set this 2 Users as Call Handler Owner.
What should i do??
Please can anyone help me in this case.....
kind regards
Markus
EDIT: I have also the Problem, that i can´t upload a File for a User - only the User self can Upload a Greeting, if do this with one of the 2 Admin-Accounts i hear also the System-Massage "sorry, -USERNAME- is not awailaible" and not the uploadet file - at the Webpage i hear the uploadet Massage - it seems to be the same Prob as with the CallHandler. Is it a JAVA-Problem mabye? I have Java JRE Version7 update7 installed and IE8 as Browser....
Certificate is installed, and the CUC is a trusted site......

Hi Markus,
It could be this bug;
CSCto92753 - Unable to upload wav files and save as greeting or send as message
Description
Symptom:
Unable to upload an existing wav file, or create a new recording using the PC microphone and save as greeting, voice name, or send as message. In the case of trying to send as a message, the user receives a "Failed to Send Message" error.
You might see Failed to Record Name if attempting to overwrite a Call Handler with a file.
You might also see Unable to save recording due to SSL certificate error.
Conditions:
Cisco Unity Connection versions 7.1(5)ES45, 8.0(3)ES27, 8.5(1)ES37
When using either the Cisco Unity Connection Administration (CUCA) or the Cisco Unity Connection Personal Communications Assistant (PCA) web applications to upload an existing wav file, or create a new recording using the PC microphone and save as a voice name, greeting, or send as a message.
In the client side Java Console logs, you see the following exception:
Exception in thread "Timeout guard" java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission 10.93.231.234:8443 connect,resolve)
Workaround:
In your client side JRE security profile file....commonly named:   java.policy...add the below entry. Will need to use the ipaddress of the Connection server (for a cluster, put an entry for each of publisher and subscriber).
permission java.net.SocketPermission "10.93.237.101:8443", "connect,resolve";
If get a permission error when trying to modify java.policy, then you may need to set the permissions of the file to not inhearent permissions from it's parent and not be read-only. (aka by default the entire JRE folder is read-only but you need to modify a file within it).
A good article on the Sun website with more detail on the workaround:   http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/appA.html

Cisco Unity Connection 8.6 - Cannot Upload Greeting

Hello! I am running Unity Connection 8.6, using VMWare, in my home lab. When I try to upload a greeting to my System Call Handler, I get the following:
Unable to save recording due to SSL Certificate error. Would you like to accept the SSL certificate for this session and attempt to save the recording again?
When I choose OK I receive:
Failed to record name
Site: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/voice-unified-communications/unity-connection-version-70/110950-unity-wav-issues.html#certerr
I visited the above site and tried importing the certificate into both Firefox and IE, but that did not seem to work. I also looked into Cisco Bug ID CSCto92753, but that also did not work. I looked at the Java Console Log and did a search for "access denied":
com.cisco.unity.mediamaster.MMApplet.stop() - Exception while saving preferences: access denied ("java.io.FilePermission" "C:\Users\Lalo\.cisco\unity\mediamaster\mm.properties" "read")
I modified my java.policy file to include the below, but I get the same error:
grant codeBase "file:${{java.ext.dirs}}/*" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
permission java.io.FilePermission "C:\Users\Lalo\.cisco\unity\mediamaster\mm.properties", "write";
At this point and I am stuck. Thanks in advance for reading my post and for your assistance.
Cisco Unity Connection version: 8.6.2ES120.24901-120
Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit
Browsers: Firefox 28.0 and IE 9
Java Version 7 Update 55 (Also tried Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0.39)

I ran in to these same symptoms and have been fighting it for a while. I have not ultimately found a solution but I found the following workaround which allowed me to get my greetings uploaded until a better solution can be found. I am posting it here in case it might work for others in a pinch.
Workaround:
Open the mediamaster applet on the appropriate page and choose to open file
browse to and select the greeting you want to upload
BEFORE clicking save, click the play button in the mediamaster (I have mine set to play via phone, I didn't test via computer). The file uploads and plays.
Then click save. For some reason, this seems to have properly uploaded the greeting without any errors.
I hope this is helpful to someone who is running in to this same frustrating error.

Cisco Unity Connection 8.5 Greeting Administrator

Hi
I've set up 2 call handlers for an IVR set up I have created, it all works, I need the user to be able to create/amend greetings.
I have set up a DN pointing to connection, created a direct routing rule, checked conversation/greetings administrator, created a routing rule in for the DN I created in callmanager.
I 've set a call handler owner as me to test.
When I dial the number for greeting admin (12345), I get the normal welcome to cisco unity connection message.
it's not really clear in the admin guide how to drive it, any ideas anyone?
Thanks
Tim

Hi Tim,
When I set this up on our CUC 7.1 system, I found that the Direct Routing Rule
only worked if the greeting Admin DN was actually on a phone and that number 12345
was used to access CUC (kinda makes sense). It's more likely that you set up DN 12345
as a CTI-RP or something else and are using Call Forward All to reach Unity Connection.
In this case you will need to use the Forwarded Routing Rules.
Cheers!

Cisco unity connection question

Hi all, I dont have subscriber in my test environment but want know what happens with this two scenarios.
Can we add a mailbox in sub when pub is up?
Can you add a mailboxin sub when pub is down?
I am sure that when pub is down we cannot add a mailbox, but want to make sure
Thanks,
Uday

Hi Uday,
The Cluster in Unity Connection acts differently than a CUCM cluster, so the answers to your question are;
Yes & Yes
How a Cluster Works in Cisco Unity Connection
Revised May 2009
The Cisco Unity Connection cluster feature provides high availability voice messaging through two Connection servers that are configured in a cluster. Under normal conditions, the Connection servers are both active so that:
•The cluster can be assigned a DNS name that is shared by the Connection servers.
•Clients such as email applications and the web tools available through the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant (PCA) can connect to either Connection server.
•Phone systems can send calls to either Connection server.
•Incoming phone traffic load is balanced between the Connection servers by the phone system, PIMG/TIMG units, or other gateways that are required for the phone system integration.
Each server in the cluster is responsible for handling a share of the incoming calls for the cluster (answering phone calls and taking messages). The server with Primary status is responsible for the following functions:
•Homing and publishing the database and message store, which are both replicated to the other server.
•Sending message notifications and MWI requests (the Connection Notifier service is activated).
•Sending SMTP notifications and VPIM messages (the Connection Message Transfer Agent service is activated).
When one of the servers stops functioning (for example, when it is shut down for maintenance), the remaining server assumes responsibility for handling all incoming calls for the cluster. The remaining server also assumes responsibility for the database and message store, which are both replicated to the other server when the connection and its functionality are restored.
When the server that stopped functioning is able to resume its normal functions and is activated, it resumes responsibility for handling its share of incoming calls for the cluster.
To monitor the status of the servers, the Connection Server Role Manager service runs in Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability on both servers. This service performs the following functions:
•Starts the applicable services on each server, depending on server status.
•Determines whether critical processes (such as voice message processing, database replication, and message store replication) are functioning normally.
•Initiates changes to server status when the server with Primary status is not functioning or when critical services are not running.
Note the following limitations when the publisher server is not functioning:
•If the Connection cluster is integrated with an LDAP directory, directory synchronization does not occur, although authentication continues to work when only the subscriber server is functioning. When the publisher server is functioning again, directory synchronization resumes.
•If a Digital Network includes the Connection cluster, directory updates do not occur, although messages continue to be sent to and from the cluster when only the subscriber server is functioning. When the publisher server is functioning again, directory updates resume.
About the Publisher Server
The first Cisco Unity Connection server that is configured in the cluster is the publisher server. The Cluster Management page in Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability identifies the publisher server.
The publisher server assumes responsibility for publishing the database and message store when the cluster is functioning normally.
When the publisher server does not have Primary status (for example, when the administrator manually changes the status of the other server to Primary, which automatically changes the status of the publisher server to Secondary), the other server assumes responsibility for publishing the database and message store.
The publisher server cannot be removed from the cluster.

Cisco Unity Connection 8.6 not getting CLID information from CUCM 8.6

Hello,
Currently Running:
Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.6.2
Cisco Unity Connection 8.6.2
Problem:
when any outside caller leaves a voicemail, the caller number information is not being sent to unity.
example, I call with my cell phone, 817.555.1234 to my Cisco 7940 phone and it shows the CLID information that i am calling with. iDivert to voice mail, Leave a message. Playback message and just the default message information from Cisco Unity.
we currently upgraded from CUCM 6.1.3 and Unity 5. before i could press 9 and get the caller information.
I have viewed the "Playback Message Settings" and selected "After Playing Each Message, Play" and selected Sender's Information. and also selected "Include Extension and Sender's ANI"
upon playing the VoiceMail after the message i get the default message "From Cisco Unity Connection Messaging System"
I also have the message relaying to my E-mail and I get the same in the subject line.
"Message from Cisco Unity Connection Messaging System (Unknown extension)"
This tends to be a big deal with the Sales team as customers will call and say "Call me back"
But any Internal Calls show the correct information, proper greeting, extension information even on the relay to e-mail.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Tim

Found another post that referenced Cisco Bug ID CSCti37610.
CUC plays message is from Unity Connection Messaging system
Symptom:Before message playback, Unity Connection plays the message is from Unity Connection Messaging System instead sender's ANI
Conditions:Problem was observed on Unity Connection cluster and appropriate services are not rebooted after changing the SMTP domain name
Workaround:
Restart the Unity Connection servers
It should have been fixed in 8.5 but we did change the SMTP domain name on 8.6 and now see the problem. Will schedule a reboot and see if the issue goes away.

Will Cisco Unity inbox show the calling name from non-subscribers

Unity CX 7.1.3 -- I need to know if the calling name is present will CUCM pass this to Unity CX and show the name in the messages "from" field on the Cisco Unity Inbox (personal communications assistant) I currently have a PIMG integration and there is no name field in the SMDI traces.
thanks

Hi -
Sorry, I misunderstood your original posting. Here is a link to Unity Connection for customizing the subject line of voice messages - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/7x/administration/guide/7xcucsagpdf.pdf
The subject line is viewable using the Cisco Unity Inbox. Note however, this is not ciscopca, which is used to configure user voicemail settings. As you can see from the link, "When the %NAME% parameter is used in the subject line format of an outside caller message, it is automatically replaced with the ANI Caller Name of the sender of the message. If the ANI Caller Name is not available, Cisco Unity Connection inserts the value specified in the %NAME% (When Unknown) field." If the message comes from a non-subscriber, you may see "Voice Message from Unknown Caller" or Unidentified Caller in the subject. I recommend also using field %CALLERID%, which I believe is used by default, because at least the voicemail user will get the caller's phone number.

Cisco Unity Connection 8.5 PIMG integration.

Hello Experts
My customer has PIMG integration with Cisco Unity Connection, users can access their mailboxes after creating a direct routing rule with the search scope where this users are located to send the call to "attemp sing in" conversation this part is working fine. Now subscribers do not get the user's mailbox when reaching FNA,Busy or RNA they are going to the "welcome to Cisco Unity Connection Messaging System from a... default greeting. Using Remote port status monitor I can not see the call coming in,but I am sure the call is getting to that server. I will like to know what traces I can enable to get the extension that is being sent by PIMG or what else I can check on the Unity connection server to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance

Hi Rob
I configured the Direct Routing to send the calls to conversation "sing in" because the customer has multiple integrations and duplicated users with same extesion, he was getting "invalid username and password" everytime they try to log in, meaning that the user was in different CSS and the existing Direct Routing Rule did not have this CSS in the Search Scope.Maybe in you case you the users were not sorted out by CSS.
I am pritty sure they are using Nortel phones,but not sure what exact version.
Thank you for your response.I will try to configure a Forward Routing rule to send the calls to and specific user'extension base on the calling number to see what happens.

Unity Connection 8.x Call Admission Control

Hi,
I am trying to find out if there is a separate CAC mechanism for Cisco Unity Connection. Or does it depend on Call Manager Locations for CAC?
Thanks
James

CAC has to be configured either on CUCM and/or on GKs, CUC has nothing to do with it.

Migrating from Cisco Unity Express to Cisco Unity Connection

Hello,
We are going to migrate from Cisco Unity Express 8.6.6 to Cisco Unity Connection 9.1.2. Therefore, we need to migrate all mailboxes without data lost.
So, the questions are next: is it possible? Which tools we should use and what steps we need to pass?
Thanks,

Based on my experience of keeping the data (i.e. voicemails for users) it is really not worth it.
Because all these voicemails will add up the Mailbox Space and user will get unnecessary "mailbox full" warnings even though they may be deleted (it takes around 2 weeks to get rid of the deleted voicemails)
Hence, my recommendation would be to do a stare and compare for the most part and build all the Call Handlers etc, this will give you even better chance to get rid of all the unwanted stuff.

Cisco Unity Connection scheduler modify by Enduser?

Hi,
is it possible that a enduser can modify a Cisco Unity Connection schedule?
How to do this if it`s possible?
BR
Michael

You mean schedules associated with call handlers (greeting and transfer rules)? No, those are considered system level objects and can only be edited by an administrator.
if you mean schedules associated with their notification devices and the like, then yes those can be edited via the PCA web interface.

Can i have IVR feature with ccm 6.0.1 integrated with cisco unity connection 2.0.1

Hi
can i have IVR feature with ccm 6.0.1 integrated with cisco unity connection 2.0.1.
And tell me a solution how can i go for IVR with this design.
Thanks.
veera.

Yes, you can have a basic IVR with CUC, no one can tell you how to design your CUC, that's up to you and your requirements.
All you need are call handlers, caller input and greetings.
If you need someone to do all this for you, engage with a local Cisco partner.

Tks Manish, I just perform a restart on the both nodes on my CUC cluster and after that I did can install this upgrade patch.
Also is very important install the upgrade patch on all servers of the cluster before perform a switch-version on the publisher and then on the others nodes.

Cisco Unity Connection 8.5.1 SU3 to 8.5.1 SU6 & Upgrade to 9.1.2

Two questions !
Firstly - I am upgrading to the latest patch level as I want to upgrade the systems to 9.1.X
I am installing UCSInstall_UCOS_8.5.1.16900-6.sgn.iso onto the inactive partition on the publisher then onto the inactive partition on the subscriber.
Then I plan to switch versions out of hours.
Question - will messages / data that has happened between the installation on the inactive partition and the switch version be preserved ??
So if I install onto the inactive partition at 1pm, then an important message is left at 2pm and I switch version at 3pm, does the iimportant message exist on the active partition at the end ??
Second question -
I have UCCX-8.5.1 SU4 (HA), CUC 8.5.1 SU6 (HA) and CUCM 8.5.1 SU6 (1 pub, 2 sub) - so 7 VM's in total.
If I want to migrate to -
UCSInstall_UCOS_9.1.2.12900-11.sgn.iso & UCSInstall_UCCX_9_0_2_UCOS_9.0.2.11002-27.sgn.iso
in which order should the installations take place ?? CUCM Publisher last ?? Publisher first ??
Thanks
James

Hi James,
+5 to my friend Aman for his good tips here
Messages are preserved during the "switch-version" so the messages left before the command is run will be preserved as they are stored in a "common" partition;
Switching to the Upgraded Version of Connection 8.x Software
If you chose not to automatically switch to the upgraded partition at the end of the upgrade, do the following procedure when you are ready to switch partitions.
To Switch to the Upgraded Version of Connection 8.x Software
Step 1 If you do not have a recent backup, back up the server by using the Disaster Recovery System. For more information, see the Disaster Recovery System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 8.x athttp://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/drs_administration/guide/8xcucdrsag.html.
Step 2 Sign in to Cisco Unified Operating System Administration.
Step 3 From the Settings menu, select Version.
Step 4 On the Version Settings page, select Switch Versions, and the following occurs:
•Connection services are stopped.
•Data from the partition where the older version is installed is copied to the partition where the newer version is installed. If changes to the database schema require updates to the format of data, that occurs in this step. Note that messages are stored in a common partition, so they are not copied.
•The Connection server restarts and switches to the newer version.
Note You can check the status of the installation of the upgrade software by using the CLI command show cuc version. The upgrade is complete when the inactive partition has the upgraded software and the active partition has the old software.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/upgrade/guide/8xcucrugx/8xcucrug009.html#wp1056720
The upgrade order is shown here (above link) as well, which is Pub followed by Sub;
