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 8.5 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!

    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.

    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 not relaying voicemails outside the organization

    Hi all, we are running Cisco Unity Connection version: 8.6.2ES25.21900-25.  It has been set up to accept voicemails for Exchange 2010 users (in other words email messages with WAV attachments) and deliver these to their inboxes; this works with no problem.
    I have two users who would like to receive these emails at their outside account, however the messages are never sent.  I have tried the following:
    Changed the users corporate email addresses from "[email protected]" to "[email protected]"
    Unchecked the option to "Generate SMTP Proxy Address From Corporate Email Address."
    On the "Message Actions" page for their account I have configured voicemail and email to "Relay the message" and entered their external SMTP addresses.
    Confirmed the smart host setup is OK (points to our Exchange 2010 CAS which has firewall rules in place to permit it to send mail outside the organization.
    Confirmed the Exchange 2010 CAS will accept SMTP messages from the subnet the Unity Connection server resides in.
    If I switch the user SMTP settings BACK to their original internal SMTP addresses for my company the messages are then immediately delivered properly to these addresses.  This signifies to me that Unity is periodically trying to send these items but they just aren't going out.  No sign of the messages in any user report I ran in Unity nor message tracking in Exchange.
    I also tried setting up an Outlook rule to forward these voicemail messages to the recipients external addresses but this did not work and after doing some research I see that the way in which Unity delivers the messages to these recipients internally (via EWS) is the reason why.  I wonder if this is the same reason these are not going out to their external SMTP addresses.
    Thanks for any assistance provided!

    Look at the transfer options for that particular user and make sure it's set to ring the phone, that configuration is PER user.

  • 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).

  • 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.

    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 Connect 8.6 smarthost

    Hi Guys,
                I am in the process of deploying the Cisco Unity Connect 8.6 on the virtual environment. I was able to configure the smtp configuration smarthost with our exchange server. And the test user is able to receive the voicemail via the phone and the email. My question is, since we are going to outsource our email to Gmail in a couple months. Currently I am using the "Accept and Relay the Message" under Message Action for the User and the "Reply Address as [email protected]".  I would like to know if there is a way to configure the smarthost as gmail, if so what will be the smarthost for gmail? Has anyone has this scenrio setup before? Please let me know. Thanks in Advance.
    Hakach

    Hakach,
    Google's SMTP relay server is smtp.google.com. However, I don't think this will work with Unity Connection. Google forces authentication and TLS encryption. As far as I know the Unity Connection won't support these pre-requisites for smarthost configurations.
    Maybe you can consider keeping a basic relay server on prem and have Unity Connection relay through this server to Google. Of course the 3rd party solution should support the pre-reqs defined by Google.
    HTH.

  • Cisco Unity Connection 8.5 Single Inbox - Unified Messaging?

    For the Cisco Unity Connection 8.5, to enable Single inbox unified messaging do we need to get additional licensing for this feature?

    Hi Ali,
    LicIMAPSubscribersMax
    Users with IMAP access to voice messages or with single inbox (single inbox available in Connection 8.5 and later only)
    Sets the maximum number of users who can use:
    •A third-party IMAP client to access voice messages.
    •The  unified messaging feature "Synchronize Connection and Exchange  Mailboxes (Single Inbox)" on the Unified Messaging > Unified  Messaging Services page and on the Users > Users > Unified  Messaging Accounts page.
    For single inbox, the total number of users in classes of service for  which single inbox is enabled must not exceed the licensed maximum. This  applies regardless of the number of users in those classes of service  who are configured to use single inbox. In addition, all users who are  configured for single inbox must be in a class of service for which  single inbox is enabled.

  • 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.

    And tell me a solution  how can i go for IVR with this design.
    Thanks.

    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.

  • 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.
