Configuring Cisco Unity Connection SRSV

See the following sections:

Methods of Provisioning and Voicemail Upload

Unity Connection 10.0(1) supports two methods for provisioning and voicemail upload between Unity Connection and Unity Connection SRSV. You can use either of the following methods to provision the users from the central Unity Connection server to the branch system:

  • Manual Synchronization of Provisioning: To manually provision the users on the branch system, navigate to Branch Management > Edit Branch on Cisco Unity Connection Administration (CUCA) and select Sync Provisioning.
  • Automatic Synchronization of Provisioning: To automatically enable the provisioning of the users, navigate to Tools > Task Management on Cisco Unity Connection Administration (CUCA) and schedule Branch Provisioning Synchronization Task. For more information on scheduling a task, see the “Task Management Tool” section of the “Tools” chapter in the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 10.x guide at http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/10x/administration/guide/10xcucsagx/10xcucsag190.html#pgfId-1116054.

You can use either of the following methods to upload voicemails from the branch system to the central Connection server:

  • Manual Synchronization of Voicemail Messages: To manually upload voicemails from the branch to the central Unity Connection server, navigate to Branch Management > Edit Branch on Cisco Unity Connection Administration (CUCA) and select Voicemail Upload.
  • Automatic Synchronization of Voicemail Messages: To automatically enable the uploading of voice messages from the branch to the central Unity Connection server, navigate to Tools > Task Management on Cisco Unity Connection Administration (CUCA) and schedule Branch Voice mail polling task.

Configuring a SRSV User

You can either create a new user or update an existing user to provide access to the SRSV feature. Before creating a SRSV user, make sure that all the required services, such as Unity Connection REST Service and Unity Connection Branch Sync Service are started on the central Unity Connection server and on the branch system. For more information on services required for SRSV feature, see the Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability Release 10.x at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/10x/serv_administration/guide/10xcucservagx.html.

Task List to Create a Unity Connection SRSV User

Create a Unity Connection SRSV user

Step 1 Creating a Partition: Create a partition on the Unity Connection server. For more information on how to create a partition, see the “Configuring Partitions” section of the “Call Management” chapter in the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection, Release 10.x guide at http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/10x/administration/guide/10xcucsagx/10xcucsag080.html#pgfId-1148340.

Step 2 Creating a Branch: Create a branch on the Unity Connection server with details of the Cisco Unity Connection SRSV server, which corresponds to the partition created above. For more information on how to create a branch, see the section.

Step 3 Creating a New User or Assigning the Partition to an Existing User: Assign the partition created above to an existing user or create a new user and assign the partition to the user for providing access to the SRSV feature. For more information on how to create a user, see the “Creating User Accounts” section of the “Users” chapter in the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection, Release 10.x guide at http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/10x/administration/guide/10xcucsagx/10xcucsag040.html#pgfId-1230789.

 

Managing Branches on Central Unity Connection Server

You can create a branch in Cisco Unity Connection Administration that is further associated with a partition of users having access to the SRSV functionality.

To Create a Branch on a Central Unity Connection Server

Step 1 In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, expand Networking > Branch Management, then select Branches.

Step 2 On the Branch Listing page, select Add New. For more information on each field, see the Branch Listing section.

Step 3 On the New Branch page, enter the applicable settings and select Save. For more information on each field, see the New Branch section.

Step 4 On the Edit Branch page, modify the applicable settings and select Save. For more information on each field, see the Edit Branch section.

Branch Sync Results

 

Table 6-4 Branch Sync Results Page

Field
Description

Branch

(Display Only) Displays the name of the branch.

Sync Type

(Display Only) Displays the type of synchronization activity, such as Voicemail Upload or Provisioning, performed on the branch.

Result

(Display Only) Displays the status or result of the synchronization activity performed. The result of synchronization can be any one of the following:

  • In Progress: Signifies that the synchronization activity is in progress.
  • Success: Signifies that the synchronization activity is completed successfully.
  • Partial Success: Signifies that the synchronization activity is partially completed. For Example, if you have initiated synchronization of users from the central Unity Connection to the branch, it might be possible that out of the 4 users those need to be synchronized, only 2 users are synchronized successfully and the other 2 are failed. In such scenarios, you need to check the error logs to find out the reason of the failure and take the appropriate action to resolve the problem. For more information on troubleshooting, see the “Troubleshooting Cisco Unity Connection SRSV” chapter of Troubleshooting Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 10.x at http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/10x/troubleshooting/guide/10xcuctsgx/10xcuctsg140.html.
  • Failed: Signifies that the synchronization activity is failed. To check the reason for the failure, refer to the error logs.

Start Date

(Display Only) Displays the start date and time of the synchronization activity.

End Date

(Display Only) Displays the end date and time of the synchronization activity. The text of the End Date appears as a hyperlink. When you click on the hyperlink, the “Task Execution Results” pop-up window appears specifying the detailed status of the synchronization activity. For example, if the Details column has "Total=1 Processed=1 Success=1 Failed=0" description with the synchronization activity as "Voicemail", it means that there was only 1 voicemail to be synchronized and it is processed and synchronized successfully without any failure.
