Cisco Product Security Overview
Introduction
The Cisco Data Migration Assistant (DMA) assists you with the first step in migrating Cisco Unified CallManager 4.x data to Cisco Unified CallManager 5.x by backing up Cisco Unified CallManager 4.x data in a format that Cisco Unified CallManager 5.x can read. Cisco Unified CallManager 4.x runs in a Windows environment, and Cisco Unified CallManager 5.x runs in a Linux environment, so the Cisco DMA exports Windows-based data to a format that Cisco Unified CallManager 5.x can import. The Cisco Unified CallManager 5.x installation process converts the backed-up data as needed for Cisco Unified CallManager 5.x, which completes the data migration.
The Cisco DMA saves the data that it exports in a tape archive (tar) file in a location that you specify.
Note
You must install and run Cisco DMA on the Cisco Unified CallManager publisher server before you upgrade to Cisco Unified CallManager 5.x. If you make any configuration changes to Cisco Unified CallManager after running the Cisco DMA, the system does not retain these changes when you upgrade.

CSCsj45679 Data Validation Fails For Lower Case Device Names
CSCsj51881 DMA Backup Fails During Directory Export
Caveat
DMA export fails during verification of the database and directory information.
Current Condition
The release of Data Migration Assistant 5.1(2b) resolves this problem.
CSCsj42131 User with Incorrect Primary Extension in Directory Export
Caveat
After migration from Cisco Unified CallManager Release 4.x to Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.x, the user gets associated with the wrong primary extension.
Current Condition
The release of Data Migration Assistant 5.1(2b) resolves this problem.
CSCsj22669 User and User Profile Association Issue In Directory Export
Caveat
Multiple CNN-profiles per user exist in the Cisco Unified CallManager Release 4.x directory. After an upgrade to Cisco Unified CallManager 5.1(2), despite a clean DMA run, lost/missing/incorrect login profiles and device associations exist.
Current Condition
The release of Data Migration Assistant 5.1(2b) resolves this problem.
CSCsi20684 CSS Call Forward All
Caveat
DMA fails to validate when invalid contents exist in the CSSForCFA table and one of the following errors is received in the DMA Backup log:
Pre-DMA5.1(2b):
The following directory numbers have invalid CallingSearchSpaces for forward: 61880 . Please remove or set these CallingSearchSpaces for these DNs and rerun DMA.
Exportable format of Cisco CallManager databases backed up successfully.
DMA 5.1(2b):
Failure: #####>>> Invalid Call Forward All Calling Search Space settings have been detected. The following directory number(s) are involved: [ 61880 ]. These DN records, (usually Phone related), must be either corrected or removed and DMA then re-executed. The problem data may have resulted from either residual settings from an older CM version or from an external, adjunct, or third-party CM call forwarding application directly storing into this column. If the affected DN records are obsolete or easily re-entered, they should be deleted via the administration menus. The administrative interface does not provide any means to otherwise correct the problem data. If the problem records can not be deleted, correction will require the use of Enterprise Manager or other SQL access tools. Correction using these direct DB modification tools may require the approval and assistance of Cisco Support. If pursuing record correction, the following SQL query may be helpful to identify problem records that can not be deleted: [ SELECT * FROM NumPlan WHERE CSSforCFA IS NOT NULL AND CSSforCFA NOT LIKE '{%' ]. Additionally, correct settings for the CSSforCFA column include either empty/null or the PKID of a valid CSS in the form '{pkid}:{}'.
modExportDatabase=Failure
Could not complete database processing successfully.
Failed to back up exportable format of Cisco CallManager databases.
Current Condition
The release of Data Migration Assistant 5.1(2b) resolves this problem.
CSCsi71128 DMA Requires a Long Time to Run
Caveat
Upgrading to Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.x, from releases of Cisco Unified CallManager prior to release 4.1(3), DMA execution takes a very long time in the pre-migration phase. If this occurs, you should wait for completion. A delay in this phase of up to 23 hours for 45,000 devices has occurred.
Current Condition
The release of Data Migration Assistant 5.1(2b) resolves this problem.
CSCsj45679 Data Validation Fails For Lower Case Device Names
Caveat
DMA 5.1(2) data validation reports rules compliance errors related to device names containing lower case characters. If you migrate to Cisco Unified CallManager 5.1(2) despite these error messages, various administrative activities involving these records and those that use them can fail.
Current Condition
The release of Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.1(2a) and Data Migration Assistant 5.1(2b) resolves this problem.
Resolved Caveats
You can find the latest resolved caveat information for Data Migration Assistant by using Bug Toolkit, which is an online tool that is available for customers to query defects according to their own needs.
Tip
You need an account with Cisco.com (CDC) to use the Bug Toolkit to find open and resolved caveats of any severity for any release.

Open Caveats
Table 1 describes possible unexpected behaviors in Data Migration Assistant.
Tip
For more information about an individual defect, click the associated Identifier in Table 1 to access the online record for that defect, including workarounds.
Understanding the Fixed-in Version and the Integrated-in Fields in the Online Defect Record
When you open the online record for a defect, you may see data in the "First Fixed-in Version" or "Integrated-in" fields. The information that displays in these fields identifies the list of Cisco Unified CallManager interim versions in which the defect was fixed. These interim versions then get integrated into Cisco Unified CallManager releases.
Some more clearly defined versions include identification for Engineering Specials (ES) or Service Releases (SR); for example 03.3(04)ES29 and 04.0(02a)SR1. However, the version information that displays for the Cisco Unified CallManager maintenance releases may not be as clearly identified.
Note
Because defect status continually changes, be aware that Table 1 reflects a snapshot of the defects that were open at the time this report was compiled. For an updated view of open defects, access Bug Toolkit and follow the instructions as described in the "Using Bug Toolkit" section.
Tip
Bug Toolkit requires that you have an account with Cisco.com (Cisco Connection Online). By using the Bug Toolkit, you can find caveats of any severity for any release. Bug Toolkit may also provide a more current listing than this document provides. To access the Bug Toolkit, log on to
