Extension mobility logout issues UCM v 6.1

Question

Hi, I am using UCM v6.1, with a Pub and Sub. I have deployed handsets out using auto-reg. I have created user device profiles and associated those the users. I have subscribed the services to the autoregistered phones by using BAT to bulk update , using bulk admin->phones->update phones->phones query.
The users press the services key and have the extension mobility and logout options. They can login to their Device profiles ok but when I attempt to log them out i receive an error on the lcd "logout unsuccessful [6] database error".
I have attempted to locate the actual device and log the user out manually using the CCMadmin GUI, however i receive a message ,
"Error occurred while retrieving information from database. No LOGOUT device profile".
According to the documentation, wgen selecting a log out device profile you choose "use current device settings". I left this as default when bulk updating the phones.
I have restarted the extension mobility service on Publisher and Subscriber, and have also shutdown the servers and rebooted - but to no avail.
I am doing something fundamentally wrong or could this be a bug? I have found a few in v6.0, which is why i upgraded to 6.1. thanks.

Hi Stuart,
It does sound like this bug (somewhat);
CSCsj33055 Bug Details
bulk insert phone or UDP does not add phone service if no svc parameters
Symptom:
Insert UDP fails to insert IP Phone Service if there are no parameters to all
Device Profiles.
Conditions:
'Insert UDP' in Bulk Administration Tool [BAT] doesn't insert IP Phone Service
for all the Device Profiles if no parameter is defined on the Phone Service.
This also happens when the UDP template is not subscribed to the Phone Service.
And this Insert UDP works fine in inserting the IP Phone Service to all DPs if
you are doing one record at a time, it fails if you do it in a BULK.
Workaround:
For Device Profiles:
1. Using a template
- Add a dummy parameter to the EM service. Save it and click on Update
Subscriptions.
- Subscribe EM service on the UDP template. Ignore if already done.
- Upload the Insert file for specific details transaction.
- Submit a job with the uploaded file and the UDP template on which EM is
subscribed.
2. Using a CSV file
- Add a dummy parameter to the EM service
- Specify this dummy parameter with blank values in the CSV. Sample file below
- Upload the Insert file for specific details transaction and submit a job
Once you have inserted DPs, you can go to IP phone service page, select the EM
service. Delete the dummy parameter and click update subscriptions.
sample:
DEVICE PROFILE NAME,DESCRIPTION,DIRECTORY NUMBER 1,SERVICE NAME 1,SUBSCRIBED
SERVICE NAME 1,SUBSCRIBED SERVICE NAME ASCII 1,PARAMETER NAME 1,PARAMETER VALUE 1
DP-1,DP1,2001,Extension Mobility,Extension Mobility,Extension Mobility,dummy,
DP-2,DP2,2002,Extension Mobility,Extension Mobility,Extension Mobility,dummy,
For phone devices:
1. create bat phone template and subscribed it to the EM service
2. define an update phones job:
enable extension mobility
log out profile: use current device settings
add services from this teamplate: run immediatelyMake sure to check the box to the left of the line item in the BAT job definition. That signifies to BAT that wish to synchronize all selected phones to the value specified.
I would open a TAC Case.
Hope this helps!
