Loading "LCS MPEventBroker" add-in... Loaded ConferenceTechnologyProvider interface for "LCS MPEventBroker" Load of "LCS MPEventBroker" add-In completedInstallation and Administration Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Microsoft Office Communicator: Tracking a Conference in the Logs
The information in this section should be changed in the "Tracking a Conference in the Logs" section of the "Troubleshooting Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Microsoft Office Communicator" chapter of the Installation and Administration Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Microsoft Office Communicator.
Change the second paragraph of this section to this:
For troubleshooting purposes, the LCS Conference ID and Cisco Unified MeetingPlace meeting ID are both logged in the Gateway Systems Integrity Manager (Gateway SIM) log when the meeting is created. When the MOC user ends the conference, the system removes the tie between these two IDs. If the MOC user initiates another conference, the system uses the same LCS Conference ID, but it is mapped to a new Cisco Unified MeetingPlace meeting ID. If the MOC user has the "Use reservationless" parameter set to yes in the user profile, the system sets the MOC-initiated meeting ID to the user's profile ID (phone number). Otherwise, the system randomly generates the meeting ID.
