•
CSCsg06024 PMR 84055 Tomcat server down because of database engine DDR block.
•
CSCec27300 CiscoTSP restricts the number of characters in a user name to a maximum of 30.
Voice Mailbox Mask Interacts with Diversion Header
When a call gets redirected from a DN to a voice-mail server/service that is integrated with Unified CM using a SIP trunk, the voice mailbox mask on the voice-mail profile for the phone modifies the diverting number in the SIP diversion header. This behavior is expected because the diversion header gets used by the Unified CM server to choose a mailbox.
CSCso45910 - The Server Will Not Boot to the New Partition.
Prior to this release, after an upgrade, the server would not boot to the new partition.
This release of Unified CM resolves this caveat.
Cisco TSP Vista Support
Cisco TSP supports the Microsoft Vista operating system.
Ensure that the first-time installation of the CiscoTSP and Unified CM TSP Wave driver on a computer that is running the Vista operating system gets performed as a fresh install.
CiscoTSP Limitations on Windows Vista Platform
Always perform the first-time installation of the CiscoTSP and Unified CM TSP Wave Driver on a Vista machine as a fresh install.
•
Turn off the Windows firewall if a secure connection to the Unified CM gets used.
•
Turn off the Windows firewall if the Unified CM TSP Wave Driver gets used for inbound audio streaming.
•
Disable all other devices in the "Sound, video and game controllers" group if the Unified CM TSP Wave Driver gets used for audio streaming.
CSCsm47603 BIOS Upgrade Required
The E6400 processor that IBM includes in their 7825I3 servers is not supported by the BIOS bundled with Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.1(3). Because of this Unified CM Release 5.1(3) downrevs the BIOS to an unsupported version during installation or upgrade. Unfortunately, during start up, the system simply warns the user by displaying a warning message. The customer will not see this message if he is not constantly looking at the terminal. The system allows startup to continue in the unsupported state. The implications of running in this state are unknown.
This release of Cisco Unified CallManager resolves this problem.
Australia Summer Time
This year, Australia Summer Time ends on April 6, 2008.
Summer Time begins again at 2:00AM October 5, 2008 (the first Sunday in October) and ends at 2:00AM on April 5, 2009 (the first Sunday in April).
This release of Cisco Unified CallManager includes the specific dates for the Australia Summer Time changes for this year.
Venezuela Implements New Time Zone
Venezuela implemented a new time zone that is one-half hour behind the previous time zone (GMT-4).
Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.1(3a) incorporates this new time zone into Cisco products used in Venezuela.
Brazil Daylight Saving Time
In 2007, most southern states in Brazil observed the beginning of Daylight Saving Time (DST) on Sunday, October 14, 2007. Those same states will observe the end of DST on Sunday, February 17, 2008 by setting clocks back one hour.
Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.1(3a) incorporates this reversion into Cisco products used in Brazil.
Note
It is difficult to predict dates for future years because Brazil DST dates change often. For 2008 - 2009 Summertime, the final decision will not be made until September 2008.
CSCtj61834 MLPP Default Domain Name Displays MLPP ID Value
When you configure the MLPP Domain Name in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the default name for MLPP Domain Name displays the MLPP ID value 000000 instead of Default as stated on the help page.
Clarification for Call Park Configuration
Consider the following information when you configure Call Park:
Call Park numbers cannot overlap between Cisco Unified CallManager servers. Ensure that each Cisco Unified CallManager server has its own unique number range.
Call Park numbers may have an associated partition that restricts access to the Call Park numbers and prevents retrieval of parked calls. If partitions are used to restrict access to Call Park numbers, a unique call park number or range of call park extension numbers must be defined for each partition on each Cisco Unified CallManager in the cluster.
When the end user invokes Call Park, Cisco Unified CallManager attempts to find an available Call Park number from a Call Park partition that is currently accessible via the calling search space for the party that invoked Call Park.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Table Can Fill Up Quickly
Do not install Cisco Unified CallManager in a large Class A or Class B subnet that contains a large number of devices because the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table can fill up quickly (maximum 1024 entries, by default). When the ARP table gets full, Cisco Unified CallManager can have difficulty talking to endpoints and cannot add more phones.
Do Not Upgrade from Cisco Unified CallManager 5.1(3) to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.0(1x)
You cannot successfully upgrade from Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.1(3) to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.0(1x). The supported upgrade path for release 5.1(3x) is release 6.1(1x) or higher.
Cisco Unified CallManager Administration Does Not Support Browser Buttons
Cisco Unified CallManager Administration does not support the buttons in your browser. Do not use the browser buttons (for example, the Back button) when you perform configuration tasks.
Internet Explorer 7 Certificate Support
This release supports Internet Explorer 7 web browser for Cisco Unified CallManager Administration. Internet Explorer 7 adds security features that change the way the browser handles Cisco certificates for website access. Because Cisco provides a self-signed certificate for the Cisco Unified CallManager server, Internet Explorer 7 flags the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration website as untrusted and provides a certificate error, even when the trust store contains the server certificate.
Note
Internet Explorer 7, which is a Windows Vista feature, also runs on Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
Be sure to import the Cisco Unified CallManager certificate to Internet Explorer 7 to secure access without having to reload the certificate every time that you restart the browser. If you continue to a website that has a certificate warning and the certificate is not in the trust store, Internet Explorer 7 retains the certificate for the current session only.
After you download the server certificate, Internet Explorer 7 continues to display certificate errors for the website. You can ignore the security warnings when the Trusted Root Certificate Authority trust store for the browser contains the imported certificate.
The following procedure describes how to import the Cisco Unified CallManager certificate to the root certificate trust store in Internet Explorer 7.
Ensure JRE is present to provide all the Java related browser support for IE6 or IE7.
Procedure
Step 1
Enter the hostname, localhost, or IP address for the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration website. The browser displays a Certificate Error: Navigation Blocked window to indicate this website is untrusted.
Step 2
To access the server, click Continue to this website (not recommended). The Cisco Unified CallManager Administration displays, and the browser displays the address bar and a Certificate Error status in red.
Step 3
To import the server certificate, click the Certificate Error status box to display the status report. Click the View certificates link in the report.
Step 4
Verify the certificate details. The Certification Path tab displays "This CA Root certificate is not trusted because it is not in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store."
Step 5
Select the General tab in the Certificate window and click Install Certificate. The Certificate Import Wizard launches.
Step 6
To start the Wizard, click Next. The Certificate Store window displays.
Step 7
Verify that the Automatic option, which allows the wizard to select the certificate store for this certificate type, is selected and click Next.
Step 8
Verify the setting and click Finish. A security warning displays for the import operation.
Step 9
To install the certificate, click Yes. The Import Wizard displays "The import was successful."
Step 10
Click OK. The next time that you click the View certificates link, the Certification Path tab in the Certificate window displays "This certificate is OK."
Step 11
To verify that the trust store contains the imported certificate, click Tools > Internet Options in the Internet Explorer toolbar and select the Content tab. Click Certificates and select the Trusted Root Certifications Authorities tab. Scroll to find the imported certificate in the list.
Step 12
After importing the certificate, the browser continues to display the address bar and a Certificate Error status in red. The status persists even if you reenter the hostname, localhost, or IP address or refresh or relaunch the browser.
Internet Explorer 7 Support
The following applications now support Internet Explorer 7:
•
Cisco Unified CallManager Administration
•
Cisco Unified CallManager Bulk Administration Tool (BAT)
•
Cisco Unified CallManager Serviceability
•
Disaster Recovery System (DRS)
•
Cisco Unified CallManager Operating System (OS)
•
Cisco Unified CallManager CDR Analysis and Reporting (CAR)
New Cisco Unified Reporting Application
The new Cisco Unified Reporting web application, which is accessed at the Cisco Unified CallManager console, generates reports for troubleshooting or inspecting cluster data.
This convenient tool provides a snapshot of cluster data without requiring multiple steps to get the data. The tool design facilitates gathering data from existing sources, comparing the data, and reporting irregularities.
A report combines data from one or more sources on one or more servers into one output view. For example, you can view a report that shows the hosts file for all servers in the cluster.
The application gathers information from the publisher server and each subscriber server. A report provides data for all active cluster nodes that are accessible at the time that the report is generated.
Some reports run checks to identify conditions that could impact cluster operations. Status messages indicate the outcome of every data check that is run.
Only authorized users can access the Cisco Unified Reporting application. By default, this includes administrator users in the Standard Unified CM Super Users group. As an authorized user, you can view reports, generate new reports, or download reports at the graphical user interface (GUI).
Cisco Unified Reporting includes the following capabilities:
•
A user interface for generating, archiving, and downloading reports
•
Notification message if a report will take excessive time to generate or consume excessive CPU
Refer to the Cisco Unified Reporting Administration Guide for more information.
Updating the Hostname or IP Address in the Server Configuration Window
Before you change the hostname or IP address of a server in the Server Configuration window in Cisco Unified CallManager Administration, consider the following information:
•
Cisco Unified CallManager Administration does not prevent you from updating the Host Name/IP Address field under any circumstances.
•
When you attempt to change the hostname or IP address in the Server Configuration window, the following message displays after you save the configuration: "Changing the host name/IP Address of the server may cause problems with Cisco Unified CallManager. Are you sure that you want to continue?" Before you click OK, make sure that you understand the implications of updating this field; for example, updating this setting incorrectly may cause Cisco Unified CallManager to become inoperable; that is, the database may not work, you may not be able to access Cisco Unified CallManager Administration, and so on. In addition, updating this field without performing other related tasks may cause problems for Cisco Unified CallManager.
•
For additional information on changing IP addresses/hostnames for Cisco Unified CallManager, refer to http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_tech_note09186a0080094601.shtml.
SIP Network/IP Address Field Required for SIP Fallback to SRST Gateway
Although Cisco Unified CallManager Administration does not list the SIP Network/IP Address field as a required setting, you must configure the SIP Network/IP Address field and the SIP Port field in the SRST Reference Configuration window for a SIP device to fall back to the SRST-enabled gateway. For more information on these fields and SRST references, refer to the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration Guide.
RTMT on the Microsoft Vista Platform
When you install RTMT on the Microsoft Vista platform, the system displays the User Account Control popup window that is shown in Figure 1 due to a limitation in the InstallAnywhere software. This one-time popup displays only when you are installing RTMT. Select Allow to continue.
Figure 1 User Account Control Popup Window
CSCsj22450 Login Failure Does Not Send a Message to the Syslog
This resolved caveats adds the following alarm catalog and two alarms:
LoginAlarmCatalog:
AuthenticationFailed - When a web application login attempt fails
AuthenticationSucceeded - When a web application login attempt succeeds
The alarm events are logged in to the local and remote SYSLOG.
Note
No corresponding alerts exist for these two authentication alarms.
CSCsh58895 Cisco Unified CallManager Cannot Send System or Platform Agent Logs to Remote Syslog Server
Cisco Unified CallManager can now send syslog messages to a remote server.
You can configure two new enterprise parameters from Cisco Unified CallManager Administration > System > Enterprise Parameters:
•
Remote Syslog Server Name - You can enter the name or IP address of the remote Syslog server that you want to use to accept Syslog messages. If the server name is not specified, Cisco Unified Serviceability does not send the Syslog messages.
Note
The Cisco Unified CallManager server does not accept Syslog messages from another server.
Remote Syslog Server Name:
–
Maximum length: 255
–
Allowed values: Provide a valid remote syslog server name that comprises (A-Z,a-z,0-9,.,-)
•
Syslog Severity For Remote Syslog messages - You can select the desired Syslog messages severity for remote syslog server. The system sends all the syslog messages with selected or higher severity levels to the remote syslog. If the remote server name is not specified, Cisco Unified Serviceability does not send the Syslog messages.
RTMT Requirement When Cisco Unified CallManager is Upgraded
If you are running the Cisco Unified Communications Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT) client and monitoring performance counters during a Cisco Unified CallManager upgrade, the performance counters will not update during and after the upgrade. To continue monitoring performance counters accurately after the upgrade completes, you must either reload the RTMT profile or restart the RTMT client.
iLO Flashing Causes the Login Window to Disappear After Installation or Upgrade
As part of the installation or upgrade processes, the iLO firmware in the servers gets flashed. During the flashing, messages display for the convenience of the user. Because of this, after the installation or upgrade completes, the default login window gets masked by the messages.
To see the login window, press Enter.
Serviceability Session Timeout Not Graceful
When a session has been idle for more than 30 minutes, the Cisco Unified Serviceability user interface allows you to make changes before indicating that the session has timed out and redirecting you to the login window. After you log in again, you may need to repeat those changes. This behavior occurs in the Alarm, Trace, Service Activation, Control Center, and SNMP windows. The only workaround requires you to log out by using the Logout button before making any changes in the user interface if you know that the session has been idle for more than 30 minutes.
New and Changed Information for Cisco Unified CallManager 5.1(3b)
The following section contains information that is new or changed for Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.1(3b).
•
New Service Parameters Added to Extension Mobility
•
New Cisco IP Phone Expansion Modules Supported
New Service Parameters Added to Extension Mobility
Extension Mobility includes four new service parameters. You can find these new parameters at System > Service Parameters > Cisco Extension Mobility > Advanced.
•
Extension Mobility Cache Size
Validate IP Address
This parameter specifies whether validation of the IP address of the source that is requesting login or logout occurs.
The parameter can take values of true or false.
•
If the parameter specifies true, the IP address from which an EM log in or log out request is made gets validated to ensure that it is a trusted IP address.
Validation Procedure
–
Validation is first performed against the cache for the device to be logged in or logged out.
–
If the requesting source IP address is not found in cache, the IP address gets checked against the list of trusted IP addresses and hostnames specified in the Trusted List of IPs service parameter.
–
If the requesting source IP address is not present in the Trusted List of IPs service parameter, it is checked against the list of devices registered to Cisco Unified CallManager.
Validation Effect
–
If the IP address of the requesting source is found in the cache or in the list of trusted IP addresses or is a registered device, the device is allowed to perform login or logout.
–
If the IP address is not found, the log in or log out attempt is blocked.
•
If the parameter specifies false, the EM log in or log out request does not get validated.
Note
Validation of IP addresses may increase the time required to log in or log out a device, but it offers an additional layer of security in the effort to prevent unauthorized log in or log out attempts, especially when used in conjunction with log ins from separate trusted proxy servers for remote devices.
For more information, refer to the design guidelines in the Extension Mobility documentation.
Trusted List of IPs
This parameter displays as a text box (maximum length - 1024 characters). You can enter strings of trusted IP addresses or hostnames, separated by semi-colons, in the text box. IP address ranges and regular expressions do not get supported.
Allow Proxy
Allow Proxy can take values of true or false.
•
If the parameter specifies true, EM log in and log out operations using a web proxy are allowed.
•
If the parameter specifies false, EM log in and log out requests coming from behind a proxy get rejected.
Note
The setting you select takes effect only if the Validate IP Address parameter specifies true.
Extension Mobility Cache Size
This parameter displays as a text box in which the administrator can configure the size of the device cache maintained by Extension Mobility. The minimum value for this field is 1000 and the maximum is 20000. The default specifies 10000.
Note

Installation, Upgrade, and Disaster Recovery
Installation Overview
For release 5.1(3), the Cisco Unified Communications Manager installation process includes the following new features:
•
Process allows you to set the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size
•
Enhanced validation ensures that a subsequent node can communicate with the first node
MTU Size Parameter
During installation, you can configure the MTU size parameter. The MTU size represents the largest packet, in bytes, that the host will transmit on the network. If you are unsure of the MTU setting for your network, use the default value, 1500 bytes.
Note
You can also set the MTU size after installation by using the CLI command, set network mtu.
Enhanced Connectivity Validation
To ensure successful installation of a subsequent node, the system validates that the subsequent node can connect with the first node.
If connectivity validation fails, the installation process stops, and the system prompts you to reenter the network configuration information. After you update the network configuration information, you can continue with the installation.
Prior to connectivity validation, from the Network Connectivity Test Configuration window, you can choose whether you want the installation process to continue uninterrupted after a successful validation test or stop and display a successful validation message.
•
To pause the installation after the system successfully validates network connectivity, choose Yes.
•
To continue the installation without a pause, choose No.
Enhanced Documentation
For Release 5.1(3), enhancements to the installation and upgrade documentation cover additional pre- and post-installation tasks, as well as specific steps for adding a new subscriber node to an existing cluster.
The Release 5.1(3) documentation set also includes a new document that describes the procedures for replacing a cluster or a single server in an existing cluster, Replacing a Cluster or Single Server for Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.1(3).
Disaster Recovery System
DRS now backs up CAR/CDR data automatically. You do not need to select the CAR/CDR feature to back up this data.

Cisco Unified CallManager Administration
This section contains information on the following topic:
•
General Administration Enhancements
•
Service and Enterprise Parameter Changes
General Administration Enhancements
The following requirements apply to Cisco Unified CallManager Administration:
•
Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 6.0 or 7.0
•
Netscape 7.1
Note
This release does not support Microsoft IE 5.5 or Netscape 7.0.
Service and Enterprise Parameter Changes
•
SIP TCP Unused Connection Timer (new service parameter)—This parameter, which supports the Cisco CallManager service, specifies the time, that is, the interval, in which Cisco Unified CallManager determines whether the TCP connection is still in use. When the timer expires, Cisco Unified CallManager checks for traffic in the preceding block of time, as specified by the value that you configure for the parameter; for example, 20 minutes. If no traffic occurred during that time, Cisco Unified CallManager closes the TCP connection. If traffic occurred, the TCP connection remains open until the timer expires again, at which point Cisco Unified CallManager checks for traffic again.
For example, if the value for the parameter equals 20 minutes and the timer expires at 3:00, Cisco Unified CallManager examines the time from 2:40 to 3:00. If traffic occurred during that time, the connection remains open until the next examination at 3:20. If no traffic occurred from 3:00 to 3:20, Cisco Unified CallManager closes the TCP connection at or shortly after 3:20. If traffic occurred from 3:00 to 3:20, the TCP connection remains open until Cisco Unified CallManager checks for traffic again at 3:40, and so on.
After you update this parameter, you must restart the Cisco CallManager service for the changes to take effect.
For the default, maximum, and minimum values for the parameter, access the parameter in Cisco Unified CallManager Administration and either click the name of the service parameter or click the ? button in the Service Parameter Configuration window.
Note
If you have other devices in the path of a call flow that includes a SIP timeout, like a firewall, you need to adjust those timeouts to be slightly longer than two times the value of this parameter.
•
Auto select DN on any Partition (new enterprise parameter)—This parameter specifies whether the Directory Number Configuration window automatically selects the first matching DN to populate the window. The default specifies False, which means that the DN/Partition name gets used to populate the DN window. If the parameter is set to True and the DN is changed, the first entry that matches the DN gets used to populate the window.
•
Report Socket Connection Timeout and Report Socket Read Timeout (two new enterprise parameters) - These two parameters support the Cisco Unified Reporting application, as follows:
–
The Report Socket Connect Timeout parameter specifies the maximum number of seconds that the application uses when attempting to connect to another server. Increase this time if you experience connection issues on a slow network. The range for this required field specifies 5 to 120 seconds, and the default value specifies 10 seconds.
–
The Report Socket Read Timeout parameter specifies the maximum number of seconds that the application uses when reading data from another server. Increase this time if you experience connection issues on a slow network. For this required field, the range specifies 5 to 600 seconds, and the default value specifies 60 seconds.
Refer to New Cisco Unified Reporting Application in the"Important Notes" section for a brief description of the application.
Cisco Unified CallManager Applications and Features
The following sections describe the Cisco Unified CallManager 5.1 applications enhancements:
•
CSCsi80592 MTP Resources Do Not Support Multicast Music on Hold
•
Cisco Unified CallManager Assistant
CSCsi80592 MTP Resources Do Not Support Multicast Music on Hold
The following restriction exists for multicast music on hold (MOH) when a media termination point (MTP) is invoked. When an MTP resource gets invoked in a call leg at a site that is using multicast MOH, the caller receives silence instead of music on hold. To avoid this scenario, configure unicast MOH or Tone on Hold instead of multicast MOH
Cisco Unified CallManager Assistant
In Cisco Unified CallManager 5.1(3), the assistant no longer obtains the assistant console application via a URL that the administrator provides; instead, a plug-in from Cisco Unified CallManager Administration gets downloaded and installed on the assistant PC.
The assistant console application installation supports Netscape 7.1 (or later) and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 (or later). You can install the application on a PC that runs Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista [new support for 5.1(3)].
A previous 5.x version of the assistant console application works with Cisco Unified CallManager 5.1(3), but if you decide to install the 5.1(3) plug-in, you must uninstall the previous 5.X version of the assistant console application before you install the plug-in.
Previous versions of the assistant console application do not work with Windows Vista. If the PC runs Windows Vista, install the plug-in.
After you upgrade from Cisco Unified CallManager Release 4.X to 5.1(3), you must install the assistant console plug-in. Before you install the plug-in, uninstall the 4.X version of the assistant console application.
Uninstalling the Assistant Console Application
To uninstall previous versions of the assistant console application, choose Start> ...Programs > Cisco Unified CallManager Assistant > Uninstall Assistant Console.
To uninstall the new plugin-based assistant console application, go to the Control Panel and remove it.
Tip
The assistant console application requires that JRE1.4.2_05 exist in C:\Program Files\Cisco\Cisco Unified CallManager Assistant.
To install the assistant console application, perform the following procedure:
Procedure
Step 1
From the PC where you want to install the assistant console application, browse into Cisco Unified CallManager Administration and choose Application > Plugins.
Step 2
For the Cisco Unified CallManager Assistant plug-in, click the Download link; save the executable to a location that you will remember.
Step 3
Locate the executable and run it.
Tip
If you install the application on a Windows Vista PC, a security window may display. Allow the installation to continue.
The installation wizard displays.
Step 4
In the Welcome window, click Next.
Step 5
Accept the license agreement and click Next.
Step 6
Choose the location where you want the application to install. After you choose the location for the installation, click Next.
Tip
By default, the application installs in C:\Program Files\Cisco\ Unified CallManager Assistant Console.
Step 7
To install the application, click Next.
The installation begins.
Step 8
After the installation completes, click Finish.
Tip
To launch the assistant console, click the desktop icon or choose Cisco Unified CallManager Assistant > Assistant Console in the Start...Programs menu.
Before the assistant logs in to the console, give the assistant the port number and the IP address or hostname of the Cisco Unified CallManager server where the Cisco IP Manager Assistant service is activated. The first time that the assistant logs in to the console, the assistant must enter the information in the Cisco Unified CallManager Assistant Server Port and the Cisco Unified CallManager Assistant Server Hostname or IP Address fields.
Before the assistant logs in to the console, give the assistant the user name and password that is required to log in to the console.
The Advanced tab in the Cisco Unified CallManager Assistant Settings window allows you to enable trace for the assistant console.
Cisco and Third-Party APIs
This following sections describe new features and changes that are pertinent to Release 5.1(3) of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager APIs and the Cisco extensions to third-party APIs.
•
Route Patterns, Automated Alternative Routing, and Applications
•
AXL Serviceability Programming
•
Cisco Unified JTAPI Developers Guide
•
Cisco Unified TAPI Developers Guide
•
SIP Line Messaging Guide (Standard)
•
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Data Dictionary
Windows Vista Support
Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.1(3) adds support for Cisco TAPI and Cisco JTAPI on the Windows Vista platform.
For information about the JVM versions that Cisco JTAPI supports on Windows Vista and other platforms, see Table 4.
Route Patterns, Automated Alternative Routing, and Applications
Cisco Unified CallManager only applies Automated Alternative Routing (AAR) to the endpoints that it controls. Network congestion and bandwidth restrictions can cause tail-end hop-off (TEHO) calls to fail if you configure Cisco Unified CallManager to use AAR. To provide failover support for route patterns, you must configure the route lists to take advantage of their built-in redundancy.
Application developers who use the Cisco Unified CallManager TAPI and JTAPI APIs should be aware of this behavior.
AXL Programming
The following table summarizes the AXL schema changes in Release 5.1(3):
The change in the callingSearchSpaceName tag to String50 type affects APIs that inherit from Device. The change also affects add, get, and update APIs of CTIRoutePoint, DevicePool, DeviceProfile, DirectedCallPark, GatewayEndPoint, H323Gateway, H323Phone, H323Trunk, HuntPilot, Line, MGCPEndPoint, PilotPoint, RemoteDestinationProfile, SIPTrunk, VoiceMailPilot, and VoiceMailPort.
Change to axl.xsd for the ringSetting Element
The definition of the ringSetting element changes in Release 5.1(3) to make this element optional:
<xsd:element name="ringSetting" type="axl:XRingSetting" default="Ring" nillable="false" minOccurs="0"/>Prior to this release, ringSetting comprised a required element:
<xsd:element name="ringSetting" type="axl:XRingSetting" default="Ring" nillable="false"/>Documentation Supplement
WSDL AXL and AXIS
By default, AXIS2 creates all the methods and requests in the same stub file, which might be as large as 35 Mb. AXIS1.4 creates individual files for every method, which yields individual files smaller than 2 Mb.
AXIS2 includes the option "-d xmlbeans" to change the binding option, which creates separate files for all methods as with AXIS1.4. For more information, see this URL:
http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_1_1/userguide-creatingclients.html.Changes in the Initial Version of Release 5.1
The following sections describe the API changes that were introduced in the initial version of Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.1.
AXL APIs
The following list provides AXL API calls that are new in Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.1:
•
addSIPRealm
•
updateSIPRealm
•
getSIPRealm
•
removeSIPRealm
These APIs add and update credentials (passwordreserve) in siprealm.
New AXL Service Parameter
Cisco Unified CallManager Administration 5.1 release adds a new service parameter, Send Valid Namespace in AXL Response, under the Cisco Database Layer Monitor service. This parameter determines the namespace that gets sent in the AXL response from Cisco Unified CallManager.
When this parameter specifies True, Cisco Unified CallManager sends the valid namespace (that is, http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/1.0) in the AXL response, so the namespace matches the AXL schema specification.
If the parameter specifies False, Cisco Unified CallManager sends an invalid namespace (that is, http://www.cisco.com/AXL/1.0) in the AXL response, which does not match the AXL schema specification.
The default service parameter value specifies False to maintain backward compatibility with the AXL response in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager 5.0 release. Cisco recommends that you set this parameter to True, so Cisco Unified CallManager sends the valid namespace.
AXL Serviceability Programming
No changes to the AXL Serviceability APIs exist for Release 5.1(3).
Summary of Changes in Previous Releases
For a summary of changes in previous releases, see the following table:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/devguide/6_0_1/Svc_API_table.html

The SOAPAction should beSOAPAction:http://schemas.cisco.com/ast/soap/action/#RisPort#SelectCmDevice
Extension Mobility API
No changes exist in the Extension Mobility API in Release 5.1(3).
Web Dialer
The following change to Web Dialer occurred for Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.1(3):
•
getProfileSoap: the list of devices that getProfileSoap returns changed. The list no longer includes unsupported devices.
Documentation Errata
The Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.1(1) New and Changed Information Guide states that the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration directory search page uses the makeCall interface. However, beginning with Release 5.0, the directory search page actually uses the makeCallProxy interface.
Changes in Release 5.1
The initial 5.1 release of Cisco Unified CallManager included the following change to Cisco Unified CallManager Web Dialer:
•
Web Dialer and Redirector now require HTTPS.
Developers should format Redirector and Web Dialer requests to use HTTPS. Cisco Unified CallManager requires the secured protocol to prevent unauthorized applications from reading user data.
For More Information

AXL Programming, Cisco Unified CallManager New and Changed Information Guide, Release 5.1(1)
•
Web Dialer API Programming, Cisco Unified CallManager New and Changed Information Guide, Release 5.1(1)
Cisco Unified JTAPI Developers Guide
No changes to Cisco Unified JTAPI exists in Release 5.1(3). As stated previously, beginning with this release, Cisco Unified JTAPI supports the Windows Vista platform.
The following sections supplement the Cisco Unified CallManager JTAPI Developers Guide.
Hunt List Targets
The Cisco JTAPI implementation does not support hunt lists. Applications cannot observe an Address, CiscoAddress, or CiscoRouteAddress that is a member of a HuntList LineGroup.
Translation Pattern Support
If a calling party transformation mask is configured for a translation pattern that is applied to a JTAPI application-controlled Address, the application may see extra connections that get created and disconnected when both the calling and called party are observed. A Connection gets created for a transformed calling party instead of the actual calling party, and CiscoCall.getCurrentCallingParty() would return the transformed calling party, when only the called party is observed. In general, JTAPI might not be able to create the appropriate Connection in the Call, and might not be able to provide correct information for currentCalling, currentCalled, calling, called, and lastRedirecting parties.
For example, consider a translation pattern X that is configured with a calling party transformation mask Y and called party transformation mask B. If A calls X, the call goes to B. This scenario follows:
•
If the application is observing only B, JTAPI creates a Connection for Y and B, and CiscoCall.getCurrentCallingParty() would return Address Y.
•
If the application is observing both A and B, a Connection for A and B gets created, a Connection for Y gets temporarily created and dropped, and CiscoCall.getCurrentCallingParty() would return Address Y.
Other inconsistencies could exist in the calling information if further features get performed on a basic call. Cisco recommends that you not configure a calling party transformation mast for a translation pattern that might get applied to JTAPI application-controlled addresses.
Supported JVM Versions
Table 4 lists the supported Java Virtual Machine versions for all the Cisco JTAPI platforms.
Documentation Errata
Be aware of the following issues in the Cisco Unified CallManager JTAPI Developers Guide:
•
The reasons fields that are listed for CiscoCallEv should instead be listed under CiscoFeatureReason.
•
The names of several constants, such as FRAMESIZE_TWENTY_MILLISECOND_PACKET for the CiscoG711MediaCapability interface mislead. These constants do not specify a frame rate (frames-per-packet) value. Instead, they specify the packet rate (frame size). The affected interfaces comprise CiscoG711MediaCapability, CiscoG723MediaCapability, and CiscoGSMMediaCapability. This clarification applies to all the FRAMESIZE_XXX_PACKET constants.
Cisco Unified TAPI Developers Guide
No changes occurred to Cisco Unified TAPI in Release 5.1(3). As stated previously, beginning with this release, Cisco Unified TAPI supports the Windows Vista platform.
The following sections supplement the Cisco Unified CallManager TAPI Developers Guide.
Hunt List Targets
CTI does not support controlled devices as part of Hunt List members. This could result in erroneous behavior for Cisco Unified TAPI applications.
Translation Pattern
TSP does not support the Translation Pattern because it may cause a dangling call in a conference scenario. The application needs to clear the call to remove this dangling call, or simply close and reopen the line.
Documentation Supplement: New and Changed Information Summary

Cisco Unified CallManager Serviceability
This section contains the following sub-sections:
•
Adding RTMT Performance Counters in Bulk
•
RTMT Database Summary with Database Replication Information
•
Start Counter(s) Logging in the Menu Bar
•
RTMT Trace and Log Central Disk IO and CPU Throttling
•
RTMT Services, Servlets and Service Parameters
Adding RTMT Performance Counters in Bulk
On the RTMT Perfmon Monitoring pane, in table format only (not in chart format), you can now select multiple counters and multiple instances of counters and add them all with a single click. Prior to this enhancement, you could add them only one at a time.
For more information, see Documentation Updates.
RTMT Database Summary with Database Replication Information
The RTMT database summary predefined monitoring object now includes the following information:
•
Replicates created
•
Replication status
Start Counter(s) Logging in the Menu Bar
Prior to this release, the RTMT Performance Monitoring window included a Start Counter(s) Logging menu item for each tab, but not at the RTMT top menu bar level. Now, this menu item consistently remains available.
RTMT Trace and Log Central Disk IO and CPU Throttling
RTMT now supports the throttling of critical Trace and Log Central operations and jobs, whether they are running on demand, scheduled, or automatic. The throttling effect slows down the operations when IO utilization is in high demand for call processing, so call processing can take precedence.
For more information, see Documentation Updates.
Trace Compression Support
This feature enables the ROS (Recoverable Outstream) library to support the compressed output of tracefiles. The files get compressed as they are being generated. The following benefits of tracefile compression apply:
•
Reduces the capacity that is required to store tracefiles
•
Reduces the disk head movement, which results in significantly improved call load. The CPU virtually never gets blocked due to tracefile demands.
For more information, see Documentation Updates.
RTMT Critical Services
Cisco Unified CallManager Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT) provides new states for the critical services that display in RTMT. The Critical Services monitoring category (choose Monitor > Server > Critical Services or click the Server button and Critical Services icon) provides the name of the critical service, the status (whether the service is starting, up, stopping, down, stopped by the administrator, not activated, or in an unknown state), and the elapsed time during which the services have existed in a particular state for a particular Cisco Unified CallManager node. For a specific description of each state, review the following information:
•
starting (new state)—The service currently experiences starting, as indicated in the Critical Services pane and in Control Center in Cisco Unified CallManager Serviceability.
•
up—The service currently runs as indicated in the Critical Services pane and in Control Center in Cisco Unified CallManager Serviceability.
•
stopping (new state)—The service currently remains in stop state, as indicated in the Critical Services pane and in Control Center in Cisco Unified CallManager Serviceability.
•
down—The service stopped running unexpectedly; that is, you did not perform a task that stopped the service. The Critical Services pane indicates that the service is down.
Tip
The CriticalServiceDown alert gets generated when the service status equals down (not for other states).
•
stopped by Admin (new state)—You performed a task that intentionally stopped the service; for example, the service stopped because you backed up or restored Cisco Unified CallManager, performed an upgrade, stopped the service in Cisco Unified CallManager Serviceability or the Command Line Interface (CLI), and so on. The Critical Services pane indicates the status.
•
not activated—The service does not currently exist in activated state as indicated in the Critical Services pane and in Service Activation in Cisco Unified CallManager Serviceability.
•
unknown state—The system cannot determine the state of the service, as indicated in the Critical Services pane.
Preconfigured Alerts
The Preconfigured Alerts chapter of the Cisco Unified CallManager Serviceability Guide contains the following alerts:.
•
ServerDown: This alert gets triggered whenever the active AMC cannot talk to a remote host.
•
HardwareFailure: This alert gets triggered whenever a corresponding HardwareFailure alarm/event occurs.
•
SDLLinkOutOfService: This alert gets triggered whenever a corresponding "SDLLinkOOS alarm/event occurs.
•
SyslogStringMatchFound
•
SyslogSeverityMatchFound
•
DBReplicationFailure: This alert gets triggered whenever the corresponding perfmon counter "replication status" has values other than 0 (init) and 2 (success).
•
SystemVersionMismatched: This alert gets triggered whenever a mismatch exists in system version.
RTMT Services, Servlets and Service Parameters
The list of RTMT Services, Servlets, and Service Parameters now includes RisDC.
Supported Operating Systems
The list of supported operating systems now includes Windows Vista.

Open Caveats
Table 12 describes possible unexpected behaviors in Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.1(3a), which are sorted by component.
Tip
For more information about an individual defect, click the associated Identifier in Table 12 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.
The following examples show how you can decode the maintenance release interim version information. These examples show you the format of the interim version along with the corresponding Cisco Unified CallManager release that includes that interim version. You can use these examples as guidance to better understand the presentation of information in these fields.
•
003.003(003.144) = Cisco CallManager Release 3.3(4)
•
005.000(000.123) = Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.0(1)
•
005.000(001.008) = Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.0(2)
•
005.001(002.201) = Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.1(3)
Note
Because defect status continually changes, be aware that Table 12 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 "UsingBug Toolkit" section.
