UCCX 8.0 to 8.5 Switching Versions

Will there be data lost between versions if I decided to switch version (reboot to inactive partition) later? I got UCCX on 8.0 now and installed 8.5 on the inactive partition but due to scheduling constraints, we're holding off on rebooting to the new one. I'm talking about days or even a weeks. Will changes done to UCCX from here on as well as reporting data be lost after switching?

The common understanding is that configuration is migrated during the upgrade, this is a CUCM concept.
UCCX and Unity only migrates the configuration data when you switch version.
There is no changes to the Historical data as it sits on the common  partition is avaliable to both the active/inactive partition.
This is somthing that requires a documentation update, I am still looking through the avaliable documents wither its already avaliable. Should I not beable to find it, I'll look at filing for a documentation update assuming this information is also avaliable for CUCM.

  • Switch version fail. CCX 8.5.1SU4 - 9.0.2

    Hey All.
    When i try to switch-version from version 8.5.1su4 to 9.0.2 then after app. 30 min, the cli says "Sync after switch version failed" and then stops.
    I have tried to reinstall the 9.02 on the inactive partion, but still the same issue. all network connectivity (DNs, NTP etc.) is running så they should not be any network issue that causes this.
    I have also tried to force a switch-version thru the recovery CD, and the swtich version goes ok, and the 9.02 comes up, but no services will start (Waited 45 min - and monitor the utils services list on the console)... so im back on 8.51su4.
    Installation is on vmware version 5.0 and is SA
    On the console, i can se 1 error in the startup,
    But the interface is actually answering from remote.
    Anyone have any idea what i could be??
    (the refresh file was install before the the upgrade file...)

  • Upgrading Cluster without switch version

    Hello, I just want to be clear to an upgrade I will be performing in future. We have CUCM cluster and want to know if it is possible to do the upgrade on the publisher (without switch version) and then continue to upgrade the subscribers, then switch version on all - or do I need to switch version on publisher before I can continue to update subscribers?
    Also, I think that in the past, the upgrade takes a copy of the database when you upgrade, so you need to switch version soon after upgrade or you will loose any changes. Is this remain the case? Is this also the case for UCCX? I remember maybe reading in the past that it does the database differently.
    Thanks to you all

    Hi Ess,
    In addition to the great tips from my friend Manish (+5)
    You didn't mention the to/from CUCM versions but here is an example
    User Provisioning
    For upgrades from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.x, changes that are made to the following user-facing features get preserved after the upgrade completes:
    •Call Forward All (CFA)
    •Message Waiting Indication (MWI)
    •Privacy Enable/Disable
    •Do Not Disturb Enable/Disable (DND)
    •Extension Mobility Login (EM)
    •Hunt Group Logout
    •Device Mobility
    •CTI CAPF status for end users and application users
    •Credential hacking and authentication
    •Recording enabling
    •Single Number Reach enabling
    Upgrading a Cluster in Parallel
    When you upgrade a cluster that is running a supported version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.x to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.5(1),  begin upgrading the first node first. You can begin upgrading  subsequent nodes in parallel after the first node reaches a specified  point in the upgrade.
    During the upgrade of the first node, view the installation log,  install_log_.log, by using the Software  Installation/Upgrade window in Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration  or the command line interface (CLI). You can begin the upgrade of the  subsequent nodes after the following information displays in the log:
    PRODUCT_TARGET is
    PRODUCT_NAME is
    PRODUCT_VERSION is
    You can also use the CLI to search for the relevant information in the install log by following this procedure:
    Procedure
    Step 1 List the install logs; for example:
    file list install install_* date
    install_log_2008-10-01.09.41.57.log     install_log_2008-10-08.12.59.29.log
    install_log_2008-10-14.09.31.06.log    
    dir count = 0, file count = 3
    Step 2 Search the most recent install log for the string PRODUCT_VERSION; for example:
    file search install install_log_2008-10-14.09.31.06.log PRODUCT_VERSION
    Searching path: /var/log/install/install_log_2008-10-14.09.31.06.log
    Searching file: /var/log/install/install_log_2008-10-14.09.31.06.log
    10/14/2008 09:52:14 upgrade_os.sh|PRODUCT_VERSION is 7.1.0.39000-97|
    Search completed
    Step 3 When the file search command finds the PRODUCT_VERSION string in the install log, you can start the upgrade of the subsequent nodes.
    Caution If  you want to upgrade the subsequent nodes in parallel with the first  node, do not choose the Reboot to upgraded partition on either first  node or subsequent nodes while configuring the upgrade options. If  selected, the first node may complete its upgrade and reboot while the  subsequent nodes are upgrading, which causes the upgrade of the  subsequent nodes to fail.
    When you are ready to activate the new version, you must activate the  new software on the first node before activating it on all other nodes. .

  • Cluster Switch Version - Minimizing Downtime

    Hi guys,
    We are due to do a switch version for a customer with a PUB/SUB configuration. Both have had the update installed and sitting in the inactive partition.
    In the past, what I would have done is to disconnect the SUB from the network, switch version on the PUB, allow it time to come up and for the phones to upgrade and re-register. After this, I would switch version on the SUB, allow it to come up, and then re-connect it to the network.
    In this case, there is no time when the business is completely closed so the customer is worried about minimizing the amount of dowtime. Reading the documentation, I have found:
    All servers in a cluster must run the same release  of Cisco Unified Communications Manager. The only exception is during a  cluster software upgrade, during which a temporary mismatch is allowed.
    Does this mean I can switch version on the PUB whilst leaving the SUB connected and have the phones failover to it, then wait for the PUB to come back up again before performing the switch version on the SUB? To me this seems a bit dangerous as there will be a version of the database on two different version numbers?
    Thanks
    Sean

    Hi Sean,
    Your process is spot on! Make sure you leave lots of time for the Pub
    to fully come back online after doing the switch version before starting the Sub.
    Other than that you look good to go;

  • What are the rules about switching versions?

    I thought projects created in iMovie 9 showed up in iMovie 10, but I just tried creating a new project in iMovie 9 this morning and it is not showing up in iMovie 10, even though I see projects from 2013 and before in there.
    Also, what are the rules about switching versions? I know iMovie 9 much better, so can I start a project there and finish it in iMovie 10? I would like to gradually learn iMovie 10, but not all at once.
    I assume that once a project is edited in iMovie 10, it can't be worked on in iMovie 9 anymore.

    You have to update iMovie 9 projects to iMovie 10 from within iMovie 10 before they will appear in iMovie 10 as iMovie 10 uses a completely different project/event file system.  After updating you can still work on projects in iMovie 9 but you won't see any changes made in iMovie 10 and you can't transfer them back. 
    I would have a good look at the iMovie 10 help files first since a lot is changed and some features have been discontinued that might be important to you.
    In order to try out iMovie 10 on just one of your iMovie 9 projects, put the folders just for that project in a separate iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folder and hide the project and event folders containing the projects you don't want to update from iMovie 10 by enclosing them in a higher level folder (only projects and events folders in the Movies folder of the boot drive or at the root level of another drive or partition will be visible to iMovie).
    I did it this way and I'm glad I didn't try to update evrything at once!

  • Question on switch-version and data loss

    Hi,
    In reading info around the web, I do find and understand that any changes made to configuration of an upgraded CUCM node will be lost if they were made after upgrade but before switch-version.  I was wondering if CDR files/database were also grouped into this, or if those are copied over when switch-version is executed.

    Hi,
    CDR records will be lost, only user facing features are preserved. Please check the following post

  • CUPS upgrade switch version fails

    Hello,
    I'm upgrading CUPS 6.0.5.10000-13 to 7.0.2.10000-36 which I have downloaded from CCO.
    I restarted the server and when I apply switch version command from CLI to swtich to ver 7, it doesn't do anything.
    Has any body experience this kind of issue? This is a standalone lab installation so physically there's no CUCM connected. I have restored production CUPS backup on it and wants to upgrade to ver 7.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sak

    This is most likely CSCsl59162.
    I might be wrong, but I don't think nodatasync would fix the problem.
    "nodatasync" parameter is used on CUCM to turn off UFF (User Faced Feature) synchronization.  UFF means, MWI, Call Forwarding, etc..  Since CUPS does not have UFF, this parameter shouldn't make any difference on switch-version command.
    If "nodatasync" didn't fix the problem, you may open a TAC case and provide bug ID CSCsl59162.  TAC engineer should be able to apply workaround per the bug.

  • Switching versions

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to see how JWS applications get updated.
    I have two versions of an application.
    When I run application v1, it runs fine
    When I replace it with application v2 and run application v2, it runs fine
    When I switch back to application v1 and run application v1, it fails
    The failure itself is a problem with signatures, apparently it messes something by sharing some jars between the apps by using jars of app v2 to run app v1.
    #### Java Web Start Error:
    #### JAR resources in JNLP file are not signed by same certificateI tried different settings of offline-allowed and update elements with no success.
    I tried to use the version attribute of the jnlp element with no success either.
    I also tried using different names for the application but it continues to share libraries it should not.
    Does anybody know if it is possible to have A1 updated to A2 then downgraded to A1 again and still have the users be able to run the application that is currently deployed on the server?
    And how it can be achieved?

    In fact I might have found my answer in the faq, since I use the same URL and my jars aren't versioned they get messed up:
    I don't want to rely on a server timestamp. How can I specify a versioned JAR and how can I get incremental updates of JARs?
    Java Web Start supports versioned JARs and incremental updates. You can specify exact versions of the JAR files you want, instead of relying on timestamp information to determine if an update is available. Using version IDs also allows you to provide incremental updates from one version to another. See the JNLP Specification or the Developer's Guide for details.
    Are JAR files shared between applications?
    Each JAR file that a JNLP Client (such as Java Web Start) downloads, is uniquely identified with a URL. If two JNLP files use the same URL, then the resource will only be downloaded once and shared. This is similar to the caching implementations used by web browsers.

  • Transferring computers mid project/ Switching versions of InDesign

    Hello All -
    I have two questions:
    #1 When transfering between two computers (using the same version of InDesign) mid project, how can I keep the fonts in tact. I have the same fonts downloaded on both computers, but when I open a project from the second computer, the fonts do not transfer. I know how to relink the photos, but I am at a loss when it comes to the fonts.
    #2 I work for a nonprofit organization and we are making the transition from InDesign CC to InDesign 5.5 (quite the downgrade, I know.) What is the best way to keep all of the projects in tact before the transition is made? Is the best way to save them as an IDML? Also, how do I keep the fonts in tact for this transition between versions of InDesign as well?
    I appreciate any advice regarding this matter.
    THANK YOU!

    1. Package the file and you’ll get a documents fonts folder.
    2. Best way? It’s the only way and I wouldn’t count on everything being perfect. Text will undoubtedly reflow.

  • Switching Version

    I recently bought Gorilla Producing software. I had trouble installing it and the company said there's an apple bug in the 10.4.8 version of tiger that is interfering with certain software including theirs. They reccomended me downgrading to 10.4.7 in order to use their software. How would I do that?
    Thanks!

  • How do I switch versions from CC to CS6?

    I recall that somewhere on this site it stated I could decide which version I wanted. Creative Cloud (CC) or CS6, how am I supposed to this?

    Hi,
    If you go to the upper right and click on the siloutte icon, do you see your AdobeID? If you do, go to the My Account link and click on that. What plan information does it show? I don't believe we show the Ps CS6 download option for the Free membership plan.

  • Unity Connection Upgrade Version Switch - Grab a Coffee

    Thought I would post some reassurance for anyone upgrading Unity Connection to 8.5.  I can't remember other Unity Connection upgrades taking so long on the version switch (utils system switch-version).  In my case I was upgrading a Unity Connection cluster from 7.1(3b) to 8.5(1)SU1.  The software installation to the inactive partition took approximately two hours (per server), which is what the documentation describes you should expect during a business hours upgrade.  What the documentation didn't say was that during the version switch you could expect ~45 minutes of no network response from the server.  Anyway, hopefully someone will read this, grab a coffee, and wait (instead of sending out rollback notifications - - as I did!).
    HTH
    Dom

    Just wanted to make sure you had seen this
    If you are upgrading during nonbusiness hours: On the publisher server, run the CLI command utils iothrottle disable to speed up the upgrade.
    In an effort to prevent upgrades from adversely affecting system  performance during business hours, the upgrade process is throttled and  may take several hours to complete. If you are upgrading during a  maintenance window, you can speed up the upgrade by disabling the  throttling. This decreases the time required for the upgrade to complete  but adversely affects Connection performance.

  • UCCX After CUCM Upgrade

    Hi All
    I am running UCCX 8.5.1.11004-25 and upgrading to CUCM 8.6.2.23900. I have completed several CUCM upgrades with various dependencies but never with UCCX as a dependency. I have checked the compatibility matrix and this all seems fine however i cant find any information on if anything needs to be done to UCCX once i switch versions on CUCM.
    Im suspecting that i will need to run a JTAPI re-sync which will download a new JTAPI if it finds a different version ? Is this correct and also is there anything else i need to be watching out for ?
    Thanks, Carl Ratcliffe

    Thanks Tanner, quick reply and confirmed what i thought, just didnt want to get caught out at 2 in the morning with something i have missed.
    Thanks, Carl

  • UCCX Upgrade Query

    Hello,
    I need some assistance while upgrading the UCCX 8.5.1 to 8.5.1 SU4
    1. What should I upgrade first Master or Slave ?
    2. While upgrading a node should I switch the version of the server and then move to the other node OR swtich version should be done after upgarding all the nodes ?
    3. How does the database replication happens ?
    Thank you in Advance.

    Upgrade the Publisher first then the Subscriber (Master and Slave terms not really relevant as they just refer to which server is active for a process not the database setup)
    After Subscriber upgrade is complete switch versions on the Pub then, after all the services on the Pub have started, switch versions on the Sub.
