COBRAS unity connection import - SDK install issue

Hello All,
I am trying to get the cobras import tool to install. It requested that I install the IBM Informix client SDK on my machine. I downloaded the install files and ran it
I get an error saying I am installing 32bit on a 64 bit and to add the a path prefix.
I looked on the help at
www.ciscounitytools.com
and they say to add the following command from the command line where the program is installing from
set PATH=C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\;%PATH%
then run the install from the command line
I have tried it multiple times but get that same error saying i need to add that path
anyone run into this before?
thanks

I got it to work by doing this
Right click on my computer and properties; on the left side bar click on advanced
system settings and then advanced tab click on Environment Variables button scroll
down in system variables and go to path, select that and click edit at the very start
type the following:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64

Cisco Unity 4.2 to Cisco Unity Connection 8.x

Hi All,
My company wants to upgrade from our current version of Cisco Unity 4.2 to the newest version of Cisco Unity Connection. I're read that the process can be some what complicated. I get the basics that I need to back up our unity server. Then install Unity Connection then re-install the back up after the unity connection install.
The bad part is that I have to use the same server so I have to do a back up of Unity then wipe out that server, then install Unity Conenction and then apply the back up of Unity. In a perfect world I could use a second server.
Does anyone have any advice that about this process. Any helpful hints and advice I would apperciate.
Thanks,
Dan

COBRAS Import for Unity Connection 8.5 and Subscriber LDAP Integration Status

Using COBRAS Import for Unity Connection 1.1 Build 212 with Unity 4.2 Voicemail Only and Connection 8.5(1)SU1 with LDAP Directory Integration
When I run COBRAS the old alias matches the new alias and my desire is for subscribers being moved to be LDAP inegrated. However after COBRAS runs, the radio box for LDAP Integration Status on the subscriber is set to Do Not Integrate with LDAP Directory. Is there a way for COBRAS to select Integrate with LDAP Directory when the alias matches on LDAP?

Hi ben,
If you are just importing from and not authenticating against LDAP, then the PIN comes
from the Connection Template you used to build the users;
Note that no passwords or PINs are copied from the LDAP directory to the Connection database. If
you want Connection users to authenticate against the LDAP directory, see the “LDAP
Authentication” section on page 9-7.

Unity Connection 8.6.2 report error and issues

Hello,
I found some other hits on this error and tried the workarounds (restarting tomcat, and report data harvester) but am still getting "Unable to find any report data based on parameter(s)" for a certain timeframe on multiple reports when I know activity occurred in that timeframe.
User Phone login report, Outcall Billing Detail Report, others.
CUC version is 8.6.2.20000-2
Problem is during this timeframe someone dialed into system and changed the transfer extensions to various LD numbers throughout an entire day and the reports aren't showing these outcalls. Call Manager CDR data show the calls being placed from Unity VM ports and the Unity Conversation Manager traces I grabbed for the timeframe show the calls to those numbers to. I'm just trying to match up with a report and figure out if there is some other log or trace file I can look to determine for sure the caller logged in to the voicemail box and changed the transfer extension on it. (guessed the voicemaill password). The failed log in report doesn't even show the failed login attempt in output from traces below. The transfer extension dest addr was different on the transfers on this same mailbox. Have locked down the system since but want to get better grip on this with the reports and traces.
I looked over the CUC 8.6.2 SU1 and SU2 release notes and not seeing any resolved bugs for these matters either.
Here are some samples lines from Conversation Manager traces:

Hello ebergquist,
As advised we could try to run a report before an upgrade was performed to verify if it will pull the information, which in the event it does we would be matching the bug, therefore access the CUC CLI and type the following command: file get install *
You will be required to have an SFTP available for the file transfer and port 22 open on the sftp client.
Once you receive the files you would need to check system-history.log, below is an example.
=======================================
Product Name -    Cisco Unity Connection
Product Version - 8.5.1.12900-7
Kernel Image -    2.6.9-89.0.20.EL
=======================================
02/24/2013 13:35:02 | root: Boot 8.5.1.12900-7 Start
02/24/2013 16:03:45 | root: Install 8.5.1.12900-7 Success
Once you check the time stamp and date of the upgrade try to gather a report for a time range before the upgrade was performed, even though they might be overwritten, there still could be a possibility that it succeeds.
If this bug is not the issue then you might want to take into consideration:
1. Make sure that the service ReportDB is [STARTED] in the output of the command: utils service list.
2. If you have Digital Networking on your server make sure there is no stalled replication. Go to RTMT (Real Time Monitoring Tool)> Syslogs> Select on the dropdown your server> Doble click on Application logs> CiscoSyslog. You can then do a manual search or sort with the filter option:
Severity: Error
App ID: CuReplicator
Hit apply. Below is an example:
Date: Feb 19 08:01:15
Machine Name: LAB1111
Severity: Error
App ID: CuReplicator
Message: : 1151681: LAB1111.corpnet2.com: Feb 19 2013 08:01:11.662 UTC : UC_UCEVNT-3-EvtReplicatorStalledReceiveReplication %[ClusterID=][NodeID=LAB1111]: Detected stalled replication receiving from location LAB1111. Waiting for missing USN 2222. This situation may indicate network connectivity problems.
3.Make sure that replication is working properly in the cluster. You can check them via the following commands: showcuc cluster status    and   utils dbreplcation runtimestate
For the TransferEx that you state changed to ceros -> TransferEx=0x00000000=S_OK , this is just a hexadecimal value that is returned stating that the transfer that took place during the call was successful, in this case the actual transfer was to the following destination -> TransferEx destAddr='715551231234', and was during a call to ->calledID='555123' , this does not have to do with the actual change of a transfer number performed by a user.
Those traces won't be enough you will have to additionally set: ConvSub, level 3   and CDE, level 16 so that you may see output in the traces as the example posted in the previous thread.
Traces would be the path to follow in order to verify the user that changed the transfer rule, as this is as i understand the goal your pursuing.
However if it is of any help, another way to get on hold of the numbers that were updated on the Transfer Rule is to use the User Data Dump tool, this information reflects changes regardless of whether it was done via TUI (Telephone User Interface) or GUI (Graphic User Interface). For more information on the tool go to:
http://ciscounitytools.com/Applications/CxN/UserDataDump/Help/UserDataDump.htm
Traces are extensive to be reviewed if done manually, however you can do a text search with a tool as Notepad ++ to look for keywords as "NewTransferNumber =" or "CDE,16,Transfer allowed", once you find this you check the call GUIDwhich is the reference number of the call and that exists during the entire length of the call, whether it is while a person is leaving a voicemail or the user is accessing his/her's inbox. This would speed up your search.
So as explained in the first thread you would then do another text search returning all possible matches with that callGUID.
Now if you get to the very beginning of the call you would see something like:
Line 13712: 18:58:05.156 |24720,CCIE-1-001,0C9C97BDF5F444F0B535D231C32DDCB4,Arbiter,-1,Incoming Call [callerID='2199' callerName='' calledID='6789' redirectingID='' lastRedirectingID='' reason=1=DirectlastReason=1024=Unknown] port=CCIE-1-001 portsInUse=1 ansPortsFree=1callGuid=0C9C97BDF5F444F0B535D231C32DDCB4
In this example you see my test user callerID='2199' calling the Pilot number 6789 which is the voicemail button
calledID='6789, and the what type of call is it whether Forward or Direct, when logging to voicemail you are going to see Direct which is going to match the Direct Routing Rules and send the call to the attempt sign in conversation.
The other approach is a rule out method between the Audit traces and the User Data Dump tool.
So let's say you have a baseline document that states all of the Transfer numbers for all users.
If the User Data Dump reflects a different number and the Audit logs do not show any change, starting from the time the baseline was created and the point of time where the number was changed, then you could deduce the change was done via TUI (Telephone User Interface). Unfortunately you wouldn't be able to tell who did the change in this case.
Nevertheless, remember that a user may have for example an Alternate Extension so the change might not necessarily be done from the office phone: "Alternate extensions can make calling Cisco Unity Connection from an alternate device—such as a mobile phone, a home phone, or a phone at another work site—more convenient. When you specify the phone number for an alternative extension, Connection handles all calls from that number in the same way that it handles calls from a primary extension (assuming that ANI or caller ID is passed along to Connection from the phone system). This means that Connection associates the alternate phone number with the user account, and when a call comes from that number, Connection prompts the user to enter a PIN and sign in."

Issue on Cisco Unity Connection after performing 'utils ntp restart'

Hello everybody.
There's a client with Cisco Unity Connection 8.5.1.10000-206. After doing a 'utils ntp restart', the following message showed up:
Communication is not functioning correctly between the servers in the Cisco Unity Connection cluster. To review server status for the cluster, go to the Tools > Cluster Management page of Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability.
The client states that there was no service for 5 minutes and wants to know if performing this task shoud be disruptive or not and if there is any official document from Cisco stating this.
See SrvConnUnity_1.jpg sent by the client after performing the ntp restart.
Right now the service is normal (see SrvConnUnity_2.jpg attached). The client also sent a 'utils ntp
status':
admin:utils ntp status

Could anybody help me with this? What steps should I take? Many thanks in advance.

Hello Patricio,
On the command line guide you won't see any downtime requirements for the Unity Connection server:
Command Line Interface Reference Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Solutions Release 8.5(1)
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/cli_ref/8_5_1/cli_ref_851.html
Utils ntp restart
This command restarts the NTP service.
Command syntax
utils ntp restart
Parameters
None
Requirements
Command privilege level: 0
Allowed during upgrade: Yes
Also on the caveats i do not see any particular mention for this: (Caveats could be found applicable to CUC)
Release Notes for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 8.5(1)
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/rel_notes/8_5_1/cucm-rel_notes-851.html
Breaking up the output of the "utils ntp status" there are are two considerations:
admin:utils ntp status
ntpd (pid 10899) is running...
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset jitter
==============================================================================
*127.127.1.0     LOCAL(0)        10 l   16   64 377    0.000    0.000   0.002
First, you are using the ip address 127.127.1.0 which is the referenced used for the local system clock, the asterisc means is the preferred option as there is no other IP available. This is not a good practice and not recommended.
Secondly the stratum is unreliable, meaning too high to reach or too low to be accepted by Unity Connection.
If you would happen to run 'utils diagnose test' you would have probably seen an output as the following example below:
admin:utils diagnose test
Log file: platform/log/diag1.log
Starting diagnostic test(s)
===========================

The reference NTP server is a stratum 11 clock.
NTP servers with stratum 5 or worse clocks are deemed unreliable.
Please consider using an NTP server with better stratum level.
Please use OS Admin GUI to add/delete NTP servers.
skip - sdl_fragmentation   : This module must be run directly and off hours
skip - sdi_fragmentation   : This module must be run directly and off hours
test - ipv6_networking     : Passed
And on the RTMT (Real Time Monitoring Tool) you would have seen a Critical event:
Condition:
The best external NTP server, , is stratum , which is unacceptably high. External NTP servers must be <= strata 8 and should be <= strata 5. NTP server strata can be verified using the CLI 'utils ntp status' command ('st' column). Try using different NTP servers.
Problem cause:
All specified external NTP server(s) have unacceptably high stratum values. Network issues exist or the designated servers have unreliable stratum values.
Information is self explanatory and therefore reassures the need of having a NTP different from the server itself.
By the snippet you sent we can know that it is the publisher server, as the Subscriber polls this information from the Publisher.
Installing the Operating System and Cisco Unity Connection 8.x
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/installation/guide/8xcucig020.html
"Cisco recommends that you use an external NTP server to ensure accurate system time on the publisher server. Ensure the external NTP server is stratum 9 or higher (meaning stratums 1-9). The subscriber server will get its time from the publisher server"
Documentation also reaffirms the need for that NTP to be accessible otherwise your system can be degraded. Some addtional information which would be interesting to know is:
- Why did they had to restart the NTP in the first place?
System Requirements for Cisco Unity Connection Release 8.x
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/requirements/8xcucsysreqs.html
"A network time protocol (NTP) server must be accessible to the Connection server"
On the Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability> Tools> CLuster Management screen shot you sent i see that the ports were "Not Available" and that the customer stated "there was no service for 5 minutes".
By no service did they mean that over the phone they heard a disconnected tone or a failsafe message?
Additionaly after the servers resolved from SBR the Subscriber never recovered entirely as it did not start the Conversation Manager service.
Bottom line if they are able to reproduce it then it would be worth a while checking with TAC

Unity Connection 8.6 LDAP or CUCM Import with german special characters called "Umlaut": ä, ö, ü

Hi,
for jabber 9.1 integration i sync'ed all users at Callmanager, Presence and Unity to our LDAP (MS AD). with CUCM and Presence (both 8.6.x), it works fine, just Unity Connection sync the Users from AD, but i cannot import Users with german special characters ä, ö, ü (i.E. German Name in LDAP-su: Müller).
Jabber 9.1 need for Voicemail Integration the AD Authentication. Know somebody, if there is an Workaraound or Fix ?
This is a general issue, with or without Jabber, with sync directly from AD, or indirectly through CUCM (sync'ed with AD)
thx and regards
Jacky

I located an identical defect (CSCts28455) that was closed as unreproducible. The defect references CSCtj73444 "Add support for UTF-8 password to LDAP and RADIUS/MSCHAP" which is added to 8.4.2 with the recommendation of RADIUS/MSCHAP or LDAP only for international character support. It would make sense to go to the latest in your current train (ie: 8.4.4.1.ED) and see if the issue remains. What you want to do appears to be supported.

Unity Connection 8.5 not import CUCM end users after reinstall

I needed to reinstall a Unity Connection 8.5 server (server crash due to power failure).
After the reinstallation and reconfiguration of the CUC, the same does not synchronize and / or import users from CUCM (version 8.5).
The CUCM is integrated with LDAP.
The version of servers are:
- CUC = version 8.5.1ES16.11900-16
- CUCM = version 8.5.1.11900-21
Before CUC crash, I could import users usually.
The test in AXL servers in CUC is normal: (Test message successfully sent to AXL server 172.16.21.11:443).
Any sugestions?
Regards,
Ronaldo Gama

Hi Ronaldo,
This is because the CUCM actually holds a database where all of these users are still tagged as being imported into UC already. You'll have to get fancy with some SQL queries, you can try these, but do it at your own risk.
Open SSH to the CUCM
1) For each user, find the mapping row:
          run sql select pkid from enduserappservermap where fkenduser in (select pkid from enduser where userid = 'my_user_alias') and fkappserver in (select pkid from appserver where ipaddr = 'my_connection_server_ip')
In the query above, replace my_user_alias with the alias of the end user and replace my_connection_server_ip with the IP address of the Connection server (or whatever the old Connection server IP address may have been if you changed it after the rebuild).
2) Delete the mapping row:
You should only get back one row. Delete it. Replace my_pkid with the actual pkid that you got back:
          run sql delete from enduserappservermap where pkid = 'my_pkid'
Try to import that user again via AXL. That's the user by user way of doing it if you don't have too many, but if you're confident they all can be deleted at once you can do the following:
1. Find all of the users mapped
           run sql select * from enduserappservermap
2. The users should all have matching value in the "fkappserver" object ID column if they were mapped to the same pre-existing Connection server. Once you've confirmed the "fkappserver" object ID of the old UC server, issue the bulk delete command, this is irreversible!
          run sql delete from enduserappservermap where fkappserver = 'fkappserver_for_old_UC'
Hope that helps,
Brad

Unity Connection 8.5.1 MWI issue with French Locale

Hi There,
I am experiencing issues with MWI while using french locale on CUC 8.5.1. While, it works perfectly fine with English (US).
CUCM version is 8.0.3. Any ideas will be much appreciated.
Regards,
Sami

Hi Armin,
You could be seeing this behavior due to this bug;
Incorrect locale version cause VM outage
CSCtq97240
Symptom:
Unity connection 8.5.1 installed with locales may experience the following issues
1.When users try to leave message ,they get the fail safe message
2.Sometimes they are able to leave message , message doesnt get delivered and no MWI
Conditions:
When Locale version ES 24 is installed on UC 8.5(1) [ ES 16] or less
Workaround:
please downgrade the locale version to ES 16 if you have 8.5(1)SU1 or use US English language.
Though the Release notes of 8.5(1)
http://www.cisco.com/web/software/282074314/49311/851su1cucrm.pdf
clearly mentions about the compatibility , Many customers think its good for them to install the latest locale ES and hence end with this condition.
This is the compatibility matrix for locales
========================================
a) No locales are available for Connection 8.5(1) base version only.
b) Locale SU1 is supported with Connection 8.5(1)SU1.
c) Locale ES 24 is supported with Connection 8.5(1)ES 17 to ES 36 only.
d) Locale ES 24 is not tested for Connection 8.5(1)ES 37 to ES46.
e) Locale 8.5(1)SU2 is supported with Connection 8.5(1)SU2 only. Not all locales available as of now
f) Locale 8.5(1)SU3 is supported with Connection 8.5(1)SU3 only. Only Japanese is available as of now.
g) Locale 8.5(1)ES72 is supported with Connection 8.5(1)ES72 only. Only Brazilian-Portuguese is available as of now.
Cheers!

Single Inbox Issue with Unity Connection 8.5 and Exchange 2003

Hello Unity Gurus,
I recently upgraded our Unity server to Unity Conenction 8.5. We are pressing hard to have unified messaging. However theres always problems it seems.
We have several 2003 exchange servers, two of the exchange servers split up our organization and one has half of the users mailboxes and the other server has the remaining half. So far the only way that I can get Unified messaging is if I create two separate Unified Messaging Services one for one half, the other for the other half.
This becomes a problem since now when I create the Unified Message account I have to know what server the user is on and the problem being is that I have 700 voicemail users ill have to look up. Not only that but, if our employees move from one site to the next and if the mailbox gets moved then I imagine most likely break unified messaging for that account.
I've read the install guide for Unity connection Unified Messaging and I understand that the second option is to have Connection to search for Exchange servers via Active Directory however, when I set that up and test it via unified messaging services I get an error " searching network...failed to locate domain controller via DNS. Failed to locate an exchange 2003 server."
DNS seems to work if I create single Unified Messaging Service and use the host name that way.
Anyone have any thoughts or found a work around to this issue?
Thanks,
Dan

We have 41 exchange UM services configured in Unity Connection on 10 clusters, each one to the 2003 exchange servers. This is the only way it will work for us, as e2k3 can not search for and find other exchange services. For 2010, it is able to search by AD domain and site name, and we only have one connector configured on each server to the e2k10 environment. I believe this is the way it works, and is difficult to manage but works. Just my two cents.

Unity Connection Voice Mail Issue

Hi,
I have a weird Unity Connection Voice Mail issue and would appriciate any help i can get. Many thanks in advance.
I have Unity connection 7.0 and CUCM 7.0 integrated in a lab enviroment and here is what happens.
When I place a call internally say from 2001 to 2002, things work as expected, 2002 rings and it goes to voicemail where I can leave voicemail and listen to it from 2002.
However, if I place call from the PSTN to the same number 2002 (or any other number in other sites etc) the call again rings in 2002 and goes to voicemail, unity cnx plays the greetings for 2002 and says record your message as usual. Everything up to point is fine, then when the time on the PSTN phone is showing around 14 seconds into the call unity starts playing, "to send this message press one", if I press one nothing happens.
I have rebuilt unity and cucm, even just configured the bare minimum in the lab and still getting the same result. I tried calling from E1 connection and T1 connection but with the same results.
I have run out of ideas...

Sounds like one way audio from PSTN to your Unity Connection, couple of things to check:
1. ensure your protocols are bound properly on the GW, i.e. SIP/H323/MGCP
2. Make sure IP routing is OK between Unity and the voice gateway

Issue with transferring calls to VM for the correct DN Unity Connection 9.1.2

Hi all
I have been facing an issue with a Unity Connection Server v9.1.2. Every time an internal extension (assigned to VM profile and to Unity as a user) which is configured to be transferred to VM after 20 sec or so NoAN,is called , Unity treats the call as the extension of the calling party and not the called party. Furthermore , I dont know if this has any relation with the problem I am facing but when I check the voicemail port status in RTMT its seems like that regardless it is a direct call to the Unity from an extension (dial the pilot number or press the messages button on the IP phone) or a redirected call from an extension to Unity due to NoAN configuration, the Reason is Direct and the caller party number is always the extension initiated the call and not the one redirected to the Unity (second case).
I have changed the Use Last (Rather than First) Redirecting Number for Routing Incoming Call Unity parameter in the
System Settings > Advanced >Conversations -> checked and
Redirecting Diversion Header Delivery - Outbound CUCM parameter ->checked
in the SIP Trunk configuration used for the integraton of the CUCM with Unity but none of those seem to address this issue. Is there any guidelines you can give me to overcome this issue?
The servers I am using are
CUCM v9.1.2 BE
CUC v9.1.2 BE
Thank You in Advance

Hello again,
The Voice Mail Box Mask was blank before. However I tried XXXX (I use 4-digit extension for the VM pilot) but this did not seem to fix anything to the system....Same situation as before. Any more suggestions?
Thank you

Import Export from CUE to Unity Connection 8+

After looking on CiscoUnityTools.com I see there is one CUE tool for importing Users and recorded name WAVs from CUE into Cxn 8+
Does anyone have a method for moving all the users AND voicemails from CUE systems into Unity Connection, any version?

Hi there,
There are no "free" tools that will migrate greetings and messages
from CUE to Connection.
The one place to look is @ Cisco partner CommonVoices "Now There";
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6789/ps5745/ps6509/solutions_partner_cuc.pdf
They do claim to;

• Greetings, name
announcements, existing
messages, and call trees are
all retained along with
message status
• 10 years of experience

worldwide
http://www.commonvoices.com/products/NowThere.php
What many people do when migrating to a new voicemail system is to leave the
old system accessible for a period of time so that users can access their old
messages. This is what we did when migrating from Octel to Unity Connection
Cheers!

Are there compatibility issues between Unity Connection 8.5.1 and IE 11

Just recently installed IE 11 and now when I log in to Unity and try to use one of the drop downs, like "edit" to edit a greeting or password or whatever it doesn't drop anything down. Can't get to any of the "edit" menu items. Do I have to drop back if I want to continue using internet explorer?

I didn't see any specific bugs related to IE11 but it is not

Unity Connections install

I am trying to install Unity Connections in my VM environment and here is the problem i am getting....
it runs through the media check just fine, but after that I do not get the option to select CUCM, UC or CUCMBE it rolls right into CUCM. any idea why?

HW requirements are not matching what CUC requires, you're only matching CUCM HW requirements.
You only get the various options when HW validation is OK for 2 or more options.

Unity Connections remote call sign-in issue.

I have some users that when they dial there DID from outside they hit there VM press star and are prompted for their sign-in number and pin. Then I have some users that do the same thing, but the greeting just continues to play. I am sure there is a simple fix to this, but I cannot seem to find it. Hoping someone out here can lead me in the correct direction.
I am running Unity Connection 8.6.2.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Hi Dave,
I would check the following on a "working" vs "non-working" user;
User> Edit> Caller Input> * (star)> send to Sign-in
Cheers!
