Technology Refresh Upgrade

Preupgrade Overview

The preupgrade process ensures that your systems have the necessary software to support your contact center. These tasks prepare the way for a successful upgrade of your Cisco contact center components to the new release.


Note

During Unified CCE installation on to Windows Server 2019 and SQL Server 2019, SQL Server Security Hardening optional configuration should not be selected as part of installation. SQL Security Hardening should be applied post Unified CCE installation using Security Wizard tool.

Unified CCE services should be started only after 12.6(1) and mandatory 12.6(1) ES for Windows Server 2019 and SQL Server 2019 support is installed.

Preupgrade Tools

During the preupgrade process, use the following tools as required:

  • User Migration Tool—A standalone Windows command-line application used for all upgrades that involve a change of domain. The tool exports all existing user accounts (config/setup and supervisors) from the source domain to a .bin file. The file is used in the target domain during the upgrade.

    You can download the User Migration Tool from Cisco.com by clicking ICM User Migration Tool Software.

  • ICM12.6.1.exe—The Unified CCE patch installer. It copies all files into relevant folders, updates the registries, and installs needed third-party software such as JRE, Apache Tomcat, and Microsoft .NET Framework.

  • Regutil Tool—Used in Technology Refresh upgrades, the tool exports the Cisco Systems, Inc. registry from the source machine during the preupgrade process. The output of the tool is required on the destination machine when running the Unified CCE Installer during the upgrade process.

    You can download the Regutil Tool from Cisco.com by clicking Contact Center Enterprise Tools.

  • Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management Database Administration (ICMDBA) Tool—Used to create new databases, modify or delete existing databases, and perform limited SQL Server configuration tasks.

    The ICMDBA Tool is delivered with the main installer.

  • Domain Manager—Used to provision Active Directory.

    The Domain Manager Tool is delivered with the main installer.

  • Upgrade.exe—Used to upgrade the schema of the logger, AW DB, HDS DB, and BA databases to a version compatible with the current Unified CCE software version. It is typically used when the installer fails to automatically upgrade the schema.

    Perform the following steps to use the tool:

    <ICM install directory>:\icm\bin>upgrade.exe -s <Server Name> -d <Database name> -dt <Database Type> -i <Instance Name>

    Where

    <Database Type> - can be either " logger" or "hds" or "aw" or "ba", depending on the database that requires the schema to be upgraded.

Technology Refresh Preupgrade Task flow

Disable Configuration Changes

Perform this step on one side only. It is automatically replicated to the other side.

Procedure

Step 1

To disable configuration changes during the upgrade, set the following registry key to 1 on the Side A Call Router: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cisco Systems, Inc.\ICM\<instance name>\Router A\Router\CurrentVersion\Configuration\Global\DBMaintenance.

Step 2

Confirm that configuration changes are disabled by attempting to save a configuration change.

When you try to save the change, a message is displayed confirming the change failure.

Export the Server Registry

Export the Cisco registry on each source machine that is involved in a Technology Refresh upgrade.

During the upgrade process, you are prompted for the path to the exported registry file location. Perform the following procedure and note the location of the resulting file for later in the upgrade process.

Each time you run the RegUtil with the export option, if a RegUtil_<hostname>.dat file exists, the utility renames that file to RegUtil_<hostname>.dat.bak<number>.

Procedure

Step 1

Open a command prompt and change the directory to the location where the RegUtil.exe resides.

Step 2

Run the RegUtil tool to export the Cisco Systems, Inc. registry using the following command: RegUtil -export [target directory] , for example, <ICM install directory>:\icm\bin>RegUtil -export C:\RegUtil

The target directory must have write access. Therefore, you cannot select the install media on a DVD. The target directory is optional. If it is not specified, the tool outputs the result of the Registry export to the current directory. The output filename is of the format RegUtil_<hostname>.dat, where hostname is the name of the source machine.

Technology Refresh Upgrade Task Flow

For the Unified CCE core components, there is a general flow for redundant systems; Sides A and B are brought down, upgraded, tested, and brought back up in sequence. That sequence ensures the operation of the Cisco Contact Center during the entire upgrade process.


Note

For coresident configurations, upgrade CUIC/LiveData/IdS server along with the Unified CCE Central Controller upgrade.

For Technology Refresh upgrades, perform the following upgrade tasks:

Note

 
The time required to complete a data migration varies in a direct relationship to the database size (the larger the database size, the longer it takes to migrate) and the server hardware performance level.

Note

 

If Outbound Options High Availability was disabled on source machines prior to the upgrade, you can enable it on Side A and Side B Destination machines if both the sides have been migrated successfully.

Synchronizing or Updating Configuration and Historical Data from Production Server to Staged Server During Cut Over

The EDMT tool can also be used to migrate data from a Logger or HDS production server, to the one that has already been staged on version 12.6(x). These two pronged upgrade steps are typically performed to reduce the downtime needed during cut-over to the new version.

While the parallel 12.6(x) systems are staged and tested, the 12.0(1)/12.5(x) production servers continue to process calls. On the day of the cut-over, the data in the 12.6(x) staged servers, can be updated or synchronized with that of the production server, by running the 12.6(x) EDMT tool, for each of the Logger and HDS database.

Upgrade Peripheral Gateways

You can upgrade different Peripheral Gateways (PG) within a contact center at different times within different maintenance windows. However, upgrade all PGs that reside on the same virtual machine and redundant PGs (Side A and corresponding Side B) during the same maintenance window.

The following dependencies occur when upgrading the Unified Communications Manager PG:

  • If your contact center uses the CTI OS component, upgrade the CTI OS server at the same time as the associated Unified Communications Manager PG.

  • If your contact center uses Outbound Option, upgrade any Outbound Option Dialers associated with Unified Communications Manager PGs at the same time.

  • If the Unified Communications Manager application is upgraded, upgrade the JTAPI client associated with the Unified Communications Manager PG at the same time.
