Cisco Product Security Overview
Introduction
The Data Migration Assistant (DMA) assists you with the first step in migrating Cisco Unified CallManager 4.x data to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.x by backing up Cisco Unified CallManager 4.x data in a format that Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.x can read. Cisco Unified CallManager 4.x runs in a Windows environment, and Cisco Unified Communications 6.x runs in a Linux environment, so DMA exports Windows-based data to a format that Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.x can import. The Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.x installation process converts the backed-up data as needed for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.x, which completes the data migration.
DMA also assists the migration of Cisco Emergency Responder(CER) 1.3.x to 2.0(x).
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 DMA on the Cisco Unified CallManager publisher server before you upgrade to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.x. If you make any configuration changes to Cisco Unified Communications Manager after running DMA, the system does not retain these changes when you upgrade.
Important Notes
The following section contains important information that may have been unavailable upon the initial release of Data Migration Assistant Release 6.0(1a).
•
Limitation of Back Slashes in the Informix Password
•
Greek Locale is Not Supported (Characters Other Than 0-9 or a-z / A-Z Not Supported)
Limitation of Back Slashes in the Informix Password
The list of valid characters for the Informix password includes the backslash (\); however, Cisco recommends that you do not use backslashes at all in the Infomix password.
If you do attempt to use a password that includes \, the DMA backup does not complete, the Informix IDS service does not start and DMA produces logs stating that DMA was unable to connect to the data source.
Greek Locale is Not Supported (Characters Other Than 0-9 or a-z / A-Z Not Supported)
When Cisco Unified Communications Manager is synchronized with Active Directory, you cannot update the end user configuration window if the user name contains Greek characters.
This is actually part of a broader symptom.
DMA completion status shows export successful and validation successful but with warnings. The DMA warnings file indicates that, in one or more CRSApplication records, the aaPromptName contains invalid characters - those outside the ranges of 0-9 or a-z / A-Z.
If, in Cisco Unified CallManager Release 4.x, users got added with non-alpha-numeric characters in their names, (including dashes, spaces, dots, and so on.), the generated aaPromptName will contain these characters.
DMA versions expressing this caveat will present the symptoms described above. These warnings can not be corrected by using the Cisco Unified Communication Manager administrative menus. They can only be correct by direct updates to the directory contents for this data.
If these complaints are left uncorrected and / or DMA is not re-executed after their correction, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Releases 5.x / 6.x aspect of the defect may manifest errors when it attempts to update user oriented data for users with aaPromptName fields containing disallowed characters.
DMA Validation Error
Performing DataValidation portion of DMA.
After DMA execution, validation errors are reported. A review of the validation report file (DataValidaiton.log) displays:
Table: CredentialPolicy Number of records: 1Row: 1 SQL error: 1002Error message: Cannot modify or delete the installed Default Credential Policy.pkid 9454babf-48d0-4e16-9b80-2d0da4b38750 NOT MODIFIABLEMinDuration 0MinLength 0PrevCredCount 0TrivialCredChecking falseDisplayName Default Credential PolicyHackResetTime 30LockoutDuration 30MaxDays 0MaxHacks 0ExpiryWarningDays 0MaxInactiveDays 0IsStandard true NOT MODIFIABLEIf this is the only error reported, ignore it. Otherwise, ignore it and address the other reported errors.

CSCsk12791 Publisher Server Performance Slow After an Aborted DMA Installation
Because CSA was not uninstalled before the DMA installation, the DMA installation aborted.
Two registry keys got created during the DMA installation, but they did not get deleted when the installation aborted. This caused the slow performance of the publisher server.
The release of Data Migration Assistant Release 6.0(1a) resolves this issue.
CSCsi81184 DMA Installation Fails and Displays Error 1720
DMA installation fails and displays the following error message:
"Error 1720. There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A script required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
The release of Data Migration Assistant Release 6.0(1a) resolves this issue.
CSCsk56504 DMA Uninstall Fails and Displays Error 1720
DMA uninstall fails and displays the following error message:
"Error 1720. There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A script required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
The release of Data Migration Assistant Release 6.0(1a) resolves this issue.
CSCsk41261 DMA Reports Failure on Cisco Unified CallManager 4.1(3) to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.0(1) Migration
Migration from Cisco Unified CallManager Release 4.1(3) to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.0(1) by using DMA fails, and the following information displays:
--- Begin Pre-Migrating DB To Required Initial Version [if needed] (Step 1 of 5)--- Begin Consolidating Logs (Step 3 of 5)--- End -- Exporting CCM DBFailure, Pre-SD CCM MigrationmodExportDatabase=FailureCould not complete database processing successfully.Failed to back up exportable format of Cisco CallManager databases.This error does not exist on all Cisco Unified CallManager Release 4.1(3) to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.0(1) DMA migration attempts. The presence of Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960 devices with Extension Mobility login enabled may provide at least one possible trigger condition. When the error occurs normal DMA logs do not adequately diagnose the problem.
The release of Data Migration Assistant Release 6.0(1a) resolves this issue.
CSCsj22669 Device Profile Association Lost After Upgrade
During an upgrade from Cisco Unified CallManager Release 4.1(3) to Cisco Unified Communictaions Manager Release 6.0(1), some end user device profile associations get lost. This defect occurred because the end users had multiple CCN profiles in the directory and DirExport did not have a mechanism to select the correct one.
The release of Data Migration Assistant Release 6.0(1a) resolves this issue.
CSCsk22663 DMA Ignores Personal Address Book Entries
User receives the following warning during migration:
08/25/2007 12:33:18: PersonalPhoneBook: for user , and 91877xxxxxxx number has multiple fast dials. FastDialNo=. Ignoring the record.This notification is misleading.
The release of Data Migration Assistant Release 6.0(1a) resolves this issue.
CSCsj82405 DMA Does Not Migrate Some LDAP Users Due to Spaces in the User Profile
LDAP users that include <spaces> in the Cisco User Profile do not get migrated to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
The release of Data Migration Assistant Release 6.0(1a) resolves this issue.
CSCsj94674 DirExport Should Export Users with an Unambiguous NumPlan
When multiple NumPlan records exist, the system needs improved primary extension handling. If a primary extension of a user is unambiguous, the user gets ported without a a primary extension. This needs to change so the best primary extension gets ported and then flagged in the AutoCorrected logs, so the user knows which users need to be reviewed and corrected.
The release of Data Migration Assistant Release 6.0(1a) resolves this issue.
CSCsj95364 DMA Does Not Export All Users
DMA does not export all users if the profileOwner and Userid do not match.
The release of Data Migration Assistant Release 6.0(1a) resolves this issue.
