Cisco unified presence error

Hi, first at all i want to say that this is the first time that i have to troubleshoot a cisco unified presence error,
ok, there is a customer experiencing problems with his cisco unified personal communicators, none of the appear registered on the call manager
I tried restarting the services in the unified presence server and no result.
I used rtmt and i found out that last night Sync Agent App stopped
: Jul 20 06:31:10.982 UTC : %CCM_SERVICEMANAGER-GENERIC-6-ServiceStopped: Service stopped. Service Name:Cisco UP Sync Agent App ID:Cisco Service Manager Cluster ID: Node ID:CUP-SKARA
and after that is trying to log in somewhere with no result
: failed dev=ttyS0, pid=18620, login time out
I belive that is trying to log in with and active directory.
where can i found where is trying to log in, or where is asking me for a unser or password to log in?
thanks in advance.
Cesar

SyncAgent needs to be running to synchronize user information from CUCM.
User ID and password would be the CUCM username and password. You may test it with "User Options" page.

Cisco Unified Presence and Cisco CCX Integration.

Hi,
Please suggest how to integrate Cisco Unified Presence with Cisco UCCX. What are the configuration are to be done on Cisco Unified Presence and CCX.
Any good documents..
Appreciate your response.
Regards,
Manish.

Hi,
The easiest thing to do is get CUPC working with the agent's credentials. Once that is working, you know that the CUPS piece is right. The document supplied previously shows the very limited CAD configuration that is required. This should go fine once you get CUPC working with the agent's information.
Keep in mind that CUPC is not the same as CAD and there are important differences:
1. You need to add an Inbound ACL to the CUPS server to allow connections from the CAD PCs as CAD does not support Message Digest as CUPC does. This is CSCtb50109.
2. CAD does not escape special characters in the password, so use a password without special characters. This is

Hello Robert,
Apologies for a delayed response, some days get very hectic.
In CallManager, we only define the SRST reference, and CUCM version and SRST version are independent of each other.
The only thing, which is related and will change with CUCM upgrade is Phone F/w version.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/compat/ccmcompmatr1.pdf
You may just want to check your, phone f/w compatibility with the SRST version running on your ISR G1 Gateways:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2169/products_device_support_tables_list.html
For Example: SRST version 7.1
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6788/vcallcon/ps2169/data_sheet_c78-520521.html
You may want to do some lab testing with CUCM 9.1 and an SRST supported f/w on your phones.
If you decide to run the old Phone/F/w to support the SRST version, you may not be able to take advantage of new features.
Also, you can try and upgrade your phones(Wih CUCM 9.1) and test them with your SRST version.
It should work fine, but from a troubleshooting perspective, TAC may request you to come into a Cisco Supported combination.
Please, let me know if this clarifies your doubt or we can have a quick phone call.

Cisco unified presence IM

Dear All
i have question regarding im in cisco unified personal communicator i have confused case ,,, i have no ldp integration just added some users on call manager and when i login with cupc , must i add contacts manually and i cannt see status of users and also IM is not active i dont know why any one could reply about this problem , i have CCM7 and CUPS 7
everything wokrs fine Desktop and softfone just i need IM
i made IM service point to CUPS from CCM and subscribe all users phones but also when adding any users just tell me must be duplicate or not valid or maximum number exceeds i dont know why although no any contacts added to the list ????
and how CUPC IM works ??

JM table is the one that will have all the IM message (compliance) and Persistent Chat Room messages (if configured). If that table is not populated, there are configuration issue in PostGre.
Duplicate entries are due to one message going out from IM&P Server and another one coming in. This is ok and normal. You can try un-checking the checkbox for "Enable Outbound Message Logging" IM&P Server compliance settings - if it makes any difference

Cisco Unified Presence 8.5 High Availability problem

As we have two Cisco presence version 8.5 node as subcluster and configure as High Availability in a Subcluster . Once i click enable HA on the
presence server . its give the below messages as meniton
Primary server :
node state : Running in backup mode
node reason : peer down during initialization
Seconary server :
node state : unknown
node reason : High Availability not enabled.
Even All the service are up and running.
So please advice hightly appreciate for you response.

Hi,
Are both the CUP servers in different subnets/networks? If yes, then there is a setting under cluster topology page that has to be modified. It must be in Settings under cluster topology page. The default parameter will be 'MDNS'. This has to be changed to 'Router to Router' if the servers are in different subnets.

Cisco Unified Presence IM compliance database - duplicate entries

I recently setup PostgreSQL for the IM compliance feature. I noticed in the "JM" table, where all IM messages are stored, there are some duplicate/double entries. Is this normal or am I missing some settings/configuration?

JM table is the one that will have all the IM message (compliance) and Persistent Chat Room messages (if configured). If that table is not populated, there are configuration issue in PostGre.

Ccx 7.x and Unified Presence

When these two applications exist within the enterprise telephony environment are they distinctly seperate or are they integrated womewhat?
Just want to understand if there is integration betweeen the applications or do they stand alone.
Thanks,
Paul.

Hi Paul,
UCCX CAD client is the software used by the Contact Center Agents.
CUPC is the client used with CUPS server.
These two client applications are different from one another.
You can integrate UCCX with CUPS server, for Agents (CAD) and Supervisors (CSD) for contacting the SME (Subject matter Experts) who will be using the CUPC clients.
Please refer the section "Configuring the Cisco Unified Presence Cluster" from page 169 onwards in the below link,
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_7_0/user/guide/cda66ug-cm.pdf
Also refer the below UCCX comp matrix for the UCCX and CUPS compatiability,

Cisco Unifed Presence Current Status is stuck in Offline

I have a very unusual issue with Presence. This is for a new deployment for Cisco Unified Communication Manager (Version 7.0.2.10000-18) and Cisco Unified Presence (System version: 7.0.3.10000-63).
Currently, CUCM is not integrated with AD, while Presence has a gateway for AD.
While onsite doing the install, I created a test ID on CUCM and AD. My test ID works great and I can change my status, etc. I can also add my test ID as a contact and can see the status in the contact list as well with no issues.
Now for the problem... When I add an existing user to CUCM and CUP, I can log into CUPC and see and change the users status. I can log in and out of CUPC with no issues. Once that user is added into a conact list, their status will stop working, can not be changed and is stuck in "off line". Oddly enough, the contact list will show available.
Here is an example:
User "Steve" is added to CUP. Steve can log in and out and change his status. While logged in, Steve adds himself to his own contact list. Steve is able to change and see his status with no issue. Once Steve logs out and back into CUPC, he can no longer change his status.
I have all in and out ACL's set up to allow ALL, but still not luck. Very odd and I have Cisco TAC stumped as well.
Any suggestions would be helpful!
Thanks
Keith

Keith,
Can you confirm the following, for an existing user, eg. Steve, is the userid, firstname, lastname and telephone number in AD and CUCM the same. If these are not same you could come across some issues. I would recommend you normalize that first.
Now, if all that is fine, need to verify if this issue is happening with existing users only and if so does it happen when they add themselves to their buddy list or happens if they have someone else in their buddy list.
example, if Steve logs in and has Bob in his CUPC buddy list. Can Steve change has status and does Bob see Steve's status?
Also, when Steve has added himself to his buddy list, you say that you cannot change the status of CUPC, but does the CUPC show Steve as available or offline?
If CUPC shows as offline but in the buddy list the user himself shows as available its possibly some issue on CUPC.
Basically, CUPC status is a 2 step process. When the user logs in the client, CUPC sends a msg to server, CUPS to register and then send its status, offline, busy, available, etc. Along with the login process, the client also requests info on status of its buddy list users.
What I am getting at is that status of client and of users in buddy list are sent by CUPS in 2 different SIP messages. Its possible the client is receiving the msg from CUPS for the status of the users in the buddy list but not the msg for the status of the client itself.
Will need to look at traces from the CUPC and presence engine and sip proxy traces from CUPS.
Thanks,

Upgrade from Cisco Unified CM 4.2 to CUCM 6.0

We are planning an upgrade from CUCM 4.2 to CUCM 6.0 in March, 2009. Is it significantly different? Should I try to get some training classes before upgrade? Or are functions esentially the same?

Hi Mary,
Happy 2009 my friend!
First off, if you can get some training it's always a valuable thing. That being said, functionally, the knowledge that you have gained while working with CUCM 4.x versions will carry across nicely. So you won't be working "in the dark" here. The look and feel is quite different but is not a "show stopper".
If you get some time to play in the "lab" you should be good to go.
Here is one Cisco Press book that is good for CUCM 6.x studies;
Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Part 1 (CIPT1)
Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Part 1 (CIPT1), is a CiscoÂ®-authorized, self-paced learning tool for CCVPÂ® foundation learning. This book provides the knowledge necessary to install, configure, and deploy a Cisco Unified Communications solution based on Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the call routing and signaling component of the Cisco Unified Communications solution. By reading this book, you will gain an understanding of deploying a Cisco Unified Communications Manager to support single site, centralized, distributed, and hybrid call processing models.
This book focuses on Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.x. You will learn how to install and configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager, power over Ethernet switches, and gateways using MGCP. You will also learn how to build a scalable dial plan for on-net and off-net calls. The dial plan chapters of the book cover call routing, call coverage, digit manipulation, class of service, and call coverage components. This book will teach you how to implement media resources, LDAP directory integration, and various endpoints including Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). Cisco Unified Video Advantag endpoint configuration is covered, in addition to, Cisco UnityÂ® voice mail integration and basic voice mail box creation. Various user features are discussed including Presence.
Whether you are preparing for CCVP certification or simply want to gain a better understanding of Cisco Unified Communications Manager fundamentals, you will benefit from the foundation information presented in this book.

This event lasts through January 31, 2014. Visit this forum often to view responses to your questions and the questions of other community members.

Hi Anurag,
Thanks for your questions.
1:Is there change in DB architecture as CUIC is the only option as compared to previous linux version UCCX ?
I assume this is from the tables regarding historical data. The database schema essentially remains the same since UCCX 9.0 had CUIC too and we had a seperate DB Space for CUIC and we still continue with that. The traditional historical tables remain and the replication process remains the same too.
2:Is there any version change for Linux OS used as VOS,
The Linux version is Red Hat Linux 5. To be precise:
[root@uccx10pub /]# cat etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7 (Tikanga)
3:Is there any API architecture change in UCCX 10 from previous releases ?
I can answer this more of an overview. The only enhancement in the API side is the introduction of REST API step in the script editor. You can now make REST calls from the script and this ofcourse opens up a whole new world of possiblities.
4:Since from UCCX 10 , we can only use either CAD or Finnesse at one time, whats the impact of changing this after some time in production, let say , i used CAD for 2 months and then i decided to move to Finesse, whats the impact ? or is it a smooth change as switching CUIC and HRC in previoius release ?
For the scenario you mentioned, there is absolutely no problem. The point to note is that the Finesse services are activated/deactivated but the CAD desktop services are ALWAYS running. The only condition to keep in mind is that you can use ONLY ONE type of agent desktop at any time. Also if Finesse is not used and CAD operations are used extensively, it is advisable to shutdown the Finesse service.
5:Is 3rd Party UCS hardware supported by UCCX 10 instead of using Cisco manufactured UCS , can i use HP hardware for Virtualisation ?
Yes, it can be used. This is something called as "Third party specs based specification". The most important things seen for compatibility are:
Inter CPU Model
It it is on thVMWare Hardware Compatibilty List
You can get more information about this on the "Can I use this server?" section of UC Virtualized Hardware page:
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/UC_Virtualization_Supported_Hardware#.22Can_I_use_this_server.3F.22
6:Is Host name change supported?
Yes, the hostname change is supported. The prcocedure is documented in the UCCX 10.0 Administration Guide:

Cisco Unified Connection Manager IM and Presence installation fails

Hello everyone, we are trying to install laboratory uses the Cisco Unified Connection Manager IM and Presence version10.The installation fails after a warning where there is a popup that asks if it is the first node of the configuration.From the installation manual is not clear if this product should be installed in a cluster architecture (publisher-subscriber).What should be the steps to follow?
Something has to be done on the server where we have installed theCisco Unified Connection Manager?
In attachement the screenshot with popup.
Thanks in advance

Problem with Cisco Bars after Database Republish ("Could not find Cisco Unified database on this server")

OS Version: 2000.4.3a
OS Service Release: 2000.4.5bSR21
OS Upgrade: 2000.4.5a
Bars Version: 4.0.15000
CUCM Version: 4.2(3)sr4b
During the upgrade process of our CUCM 4.2(3) to version CUCM 4.2(3)sr4b the database replication between our 2 servers (1x pub, 1x sub) failed. After fixing this via dbhelper tool (everthing´s green and smiling again) service seemed to be ok.
But now Cisco Bars does not work anymore. The backup process of the publisher fails with "Error=[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL-Server connection." So it looks like some kind of database setting for bars is misconfigured after the republishing process.
Yesterday I tried to reinstall BARS (now in the newest version 4.0.150000), but the same error message occured. Now I get the message "Could not find Cisco Unified database on this server" when I try to configure the Backup source within BARS.
Curiously the backup of our second CCM (sub) works as expected (but without CDR and TFTP Data). The "BackAdmin" User exists and is not locked (and wasn´t changed manually at all).
I am runnig out of ideas... :-(
Any hint or idea on how to fix this is kindly appreciated
best regards
Michael

Mike,
I don't have anything definitive here but I am wondering if there is a discrepency between the database names. In SQL Enterprise Manager, you can go to the Publisher and see what the current database name is. It will be the one being replicated and will take the form of CCM0300 or CCM0301 or CCM0302. You should see more than one. Anyway, take note of the name.
Then on the Publisher launch regedit and go to HKLM\Software\Cisco Systems, Inc.\DBL\
Look at the values for DBConnection0 and DBConnection1.
It will be something like DSN=CiscoCallManager;Server=;DATABASE=;Trusted_Connection=yes
Does the in the DSN match what you expect?
Also, going to back to SQL Enterprise Manager, check out the permissions on the database (Right Click->Properties, go to Permissions tab).
Another thing to check if you think it is permissions related is the AdminUtility.exe (c:\program files\cisco\bin\). This can be used to resync system account passwords.
TBH, I am just shooting in the dark here but these are things I would check.
Regards,
Bill
