Release Notes for Cisco Unity Release 2.4(6.135)


August 15, 2001

These release notes contain changed functionality, installation instructions, and open and resolved caveats for Cisco Unity Release 2.4(6.135).

When you download Cisco Unity from the Cisco Software Center website, the file names include an "ENU" or "ML" in the version number. "ENU" refers to the U.S. English-only version of the Cisco Unity 2.4(6.135) release. "ML" refers to the multilingual version of the 2.4(6.135) release. Both versions have exactly the same features and have exactly the same source code. The only differences between the two are in the installation requirements and in the installation instructions.

Downloading Cisco Unity from the Web

Release 2.4(6.135)ENU

Use a computer with a high-speed Internet connection to download the executable file (about 160 MB) from the Cisco Software Center. Downloading and extracting the release files takes approximately 475 MB of hard disk space.

You can install the Cisco Unity 2.4(6.135)ENU release files either from the hard disk on the Cisco Unity server or from a compact disc that you create on a computer with a read/write CD-ROM drive.

To download Cisco Unity 2.4(6.135)ENU


Step 1 Confirm that the Cisco Unity server or the computer with a read/write CD-ROM drive has at least 475 MB of hard disk space available.

Step 2 Create a directory for the file CiscoUnity2.4.6.135.ENU.exe on the Cisco Unity server or on the computer with a read/write CD-ROM drive.

Step 3 On a computer with a high-speed Internet connection, go to the Software Center website at http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/unity and download the file CiscoUnity2.4.6.135.ENU.exe.

If you downloaded the file from a computer other than the Cisco Unity server or the computer with a read/write CD-ROM drive, transfer the file to the directory you created in Step 2.

Step 4 Double-click CiscoUnity2.4.6.135.ENU.exe. Files are extracted to the directory that you specify.

If you plan to install from the Cisco Unity server, skip to Step 6.

Step 5 On the computer that has a read/write CD-ROM drive, create a compact disc that contains the extracted files. The extracted files will be located in the CD1 folder in the directory that you created. Copy only the files, not the CD1 folder.

Step 6 Delete the file CiscoUnity2.4.6.135.ENU.exe to free hard disk space.


Release 2.4(6.135)ML

Use a computer with a high-speed Internet connection to download the executable files from the Cisco Software Center.

You can install the Cisco Unity 2.4(6.135)ML release files either from the hard disk on the Cisco Unity server or from compact discs that you create on a computer with a read/write CD-ROM drive.

There are three executable files. You need to download only the files that contain the features you are using:

CiscoUnity2.4.6.135.ML.CD1.exe (Disc 1)

The Disc 1 file contains Cisco Unity software and the following languages:

DEU-German

ENA-English Australian

ENG-English Great Britain

ENU-English United States

FRA-French France

NLD-Dutch

If you are integrating only with a Cisco CallManager phone system, if the Cisco Unity system is using only the preceding languages, and if the system does not include ActiveFax (either on the Cisco Unity server or on a separate fax server), you can upgrade to version 2.4(6.135) by using the Disc 1 file alone.

If you are integrating only with a Cisco CallManager phone system, if the Cisco Unity system is using only U.S. English, and if the system does not include ActiveFax (either on the Cisco Unity server or on a separate fax server), you may prefer to upgrade to version 2.4(6.135) by using the file CiscoUnity2.4.6.135.ENU.exe instead, because the download is much smaller. The file is available on the Software Center website at http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/unity.

CiscoUnity2.4.6.135.ML.CD2.exe (Disc 2)

Also download the Disc 2 file if the system you are upgrading contains voice cards or if it is using any of the following languages:

ENZ-English New Zealand

ESO-Spanish Colombian

NOR-Norwegian

CiscoUnity 2.4.6.135.ML.CD3.exe (Disc 3)

Also download the Disc 3 file if the system you are upgrading includes ActiveFax, either on the Cisco Unity server or on a separate ActiveFax server.

To download Cisco Unity 2.4(6.135)ML


Step 1 Confirm that the Cisco Unity server or the computer with a read/write CD-ROM drive has enough hard disk space available for the files that you need to download and for the extracted files. See Table 2.

Step 2 Create a directory for the files that you want to download, either on the Cisco Unity server or on the computer with a read/write CD-ROM drive.

Step 3 Go to the Software Center website at http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/unity and download the applicable CiscoUnity2.4.6.135.ML.CD<n>.exe file(s).

Step 4 Double-click each of the files that you downloaded. For each executable file, the file-extraction program creates a CD<n> folder in the directory that you specify and extracts files to that folder.

If you plan to install from the Cisco Unity server, skip to Step 6.

Step 5 On the computer that has a read/write CD-ROM drive, create compact discs that contain the extracted files, one disc for each executable file you downloaded. Copy only the files, not the CD<n> folder. Label each compact disc CD<n>, to match the name of the executable file.

Step 6 Delete the file(s) CiscoUnity2.4.6.135.ML.CD<n>.exe to free hard disk space.

Caveats

Open Caveats—Release 2.4(6.135)

Table 4 lists possible unexpected behavior by Cisco Unity.

Table 4 Cisco Unity Release 2.4(6.135) Open Caveats

Caveat Number
Description

CSCdu04186

If you are using L&H RealSpeak TTS on Windows 2000, Cisco Unity hangs when you log off of Windows 2000. There are no errors in the event log. When you dial the Cisco Unity access number, you hear a reorder or ringback tone. When you log back on to Windows 2000, you cannot start Cisco Unity by using the Cisco Unity icon in the status area of the taskbar.

This occurs in two circumstances:

No one is logged on to Windows 2000 when a subscriber listens to an e-mail message by using TTS. Then you log on to Windows 2000 on the Cisco Unity server and log back off. Cisco Unity hangs when you log off of Windows 2000.

You are logged on to Windows 2000 on the Cisco Unity server when a subscriber listens to an e-mail message by using TTS. Cisco Unity hangs when you log off of Windows 2000.

Workarounds

Lock Windows 2000 instead of logging off. However, if someone other than the person who locked the system unlocks the system, the person who locked the system will be logged off and this will cause Cisco Unity to hang if a TTS message has been accessed.

Use L&H 3000 instead of L&H RealSpeak TTS on Windows 2000.

CSCdu43820

If you change languages or reduce the number of languages on a Cisco Unity system, PhraseServer errors appear in the application event log each time you restart the Cisco Unity server.

Workaround

1. In the registry, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Phrase Server Classes, and select a PhraseServer key.

2. Delete the sub-key for the language that is no longer installed.

3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for each PhraseServer key and for each language that is no longer installed.

CSCdu59279

When installing Unity on a non-ENU version of Windows 2000, TAPI does not initialize properly.

Workaround

Remove the following TSPs from the Phone and Modem Options control panel:

Microsoft H.323 TAPI Service Provider

Microsoft Multicast Conference TAPI Service Provider

CSCdu65748

and

CSCdu65866

When you remove a language from the system by rerunning Cisco Unity Setup and unchecking the corresponding check box, the subscribers who used the language hear the fail-safe conversation in the default phone language.

When you unload a language in the Cisco Unity Administrator (Configuration > Phone Languages) without removing it from the system, the subscribers who used the language hear the fail-safe conversation in the now-unloaded language.

In either case, if the language you removed or unloaded is the default phone language, and if there are three or more languages installed on the system, which language becomes the new default phone language is unpredictable. (In this situation, reset the default phone language.)

In addition, the value of the Subscriber's Language setting for subscribers who used the removed or unloaded language changes to the default phone language in the Cisco Unity Administrator, but the value in the Cisco Unity database is not updated.

Workaround

To set Cisco Unity to play the default phone language for subscribers who used the now-unavailable language:

Add a new DWORD value to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Active Voice\CDE\1.0. Name it RetryDefaultLanguage, and set the value to 1. A restart is not required.

With this workaround, errors still appear in the application event log.

Alternatively, you can update the database value for the Subscriber's Language setting, so error messages no longer appear in the application event log:

1. In the Cisco Unity Administrator, go to the Subscribers > Conversation page for each subscriber account.

2. If the value of Subscriber's Language is correct, change another value on the page, click the Save icon, reverse the change (if appropriate), and click the Save icon again. This causes the Cisco Unity Administrator to save the correct Subscriber's Language value to the database.

If the value of Subscriber's Language is incorrect, change the language and click the Save icon.

CSCdu73843

If you are upgrading Cisco Unity and you use the Kill utility to stop Cisco Unity services (Kill av* at the command prompt), the upgrade may fail because not all services are stopped.

Workaround: Use the Cisco Unity tray icon in the status bar or use Status Monitor to stop Cisco Unity.


Resolved Caveats—Release 2.4(6.135)

Table 5 Cisco Unity Release 2.4(6.135) Resolved Caveats

Caveat Number
Description

CSCae07102

License syncher crashes if left in an open state.

CSCae07307

AvMalSvr.exe can crash when under heavy load when reference counts in AVAutoRefPtr became corrupt and objects were deleted.

CSCae08069

Caller gets dead air or ring no-answer when calling Cisco Unity. The event log lists identical AvWav errors from two ports at the same time.

Two ports are making a call to the win32 api function acmStreamConvert() inside the AvWav function AcmStreamConvert() at the same time. Both generate an exception, and from that point on, callers will either get dead air or RNA.

To activate the fix

The problem is fixed by setting the following registry key:

HKLM/Software/Active Voice/UnityAvWav/1.0/ForceGlobalAcmThreadSafety=1.

This fix adds processing overhead and could have a performance impact. The registry setting should not be implemented until you have confirmed with TAC that you are experiencing this problem.

CSCdu01096

If a new e-mail message is sent that contains spaces in the subject or message text, and the recipient listens to the message using RealSpeak TTS version 2.11, Cisco Unity tries to read the spaces and pauses indefinitely.

CSCdu17713

Business Logic Manager needs to have logging added.

See the "BusinessLogicManager Diagnostic Logging" section for more information.

CSCdu25852

Getting a single corrupted call causes Cisco Unity to stop processing calls and ports to go into a RNA state.

CSCdu26614

When using the AV-Cisco TSP, the MIU does not allow for serial alternate MWI types. Although the MIU does know about the alternate MWI types if they are entered into the phone system files, they are not used when making MWI requests.

CSCdu28067

Caller hears dead air when attempting a transfer to an invalid extension.

CSCdu29480

Timeout waiting for transfer to an invalid extension.

CSCdu30170

Supervised transfers fail intermittently, and the following error is logged in the Event Log: failure in Method CAvMiuLine::TransferComplete (eMIU_XFER COMPLETE_ REJECTED).

CSCdu32909

Hundreds of conversation errors appear in the Event Log on the same port over a short period of time.

When a subscriber leaves a message and the phone system interprets the subscriber's caller ID as "*," the Get handler method fails because "*" matches more then one call handler.

CSCdu36617

Cisco Unity does not start because of MIU initialization failure.

CSCdu46097

Timeout waiting for idle state on a supervised transfer.

CSCdu46310

MWI Collision issues with the AV-Cisco TSP.

If ports are not dedicated to MWIs, then collisions may occur, and sometimes they will not be handled correctly by the AV-Cisco TSP and/or the Miu.

See the "Avoiding Collisions Between MWIs and Incoming Calls" section for related information.

CSCdu49829

Unable to open some third-party software applications after listening to a VMO message on the phone.

If necessary, you can adjust the new client-side registry settings that were implemented by this fix. See the "Registry Setting for AvTrapClientConnectionHolderSvr Process" section.

CSCdu55480

Cisco Unity crashes and makes reference to the Security Key module in the Dr. Watson file.

CSCdu59736

When an exchange server goes down and comes back up, it does not allow enough time for the users mailboxes to resynchronize.

If necessary, you can adjust the new registry settings for Exchange mailbox resynchronization. The default values are:

HKLM/Software/ActiveVoice/ExchangeMonitor/ReloadMailbox

MessagesIntervalSeconds = 30

HKLM/Software/ActiveVoice/ExchangeMonitor/ReloadMailbox

Messages Retries = 3

CSCdu68567

Upgrade of Cisco Unity fails if there is a space in the directory path.

The point where it fails is after the Unity service is stopped and shortly after the "Examining your system..." dialog box is displayed. The message received when the failure occurs is "The Installation is not complete, you should run this setup procedure again in its entirety." When you click OK, setup exits.

CSCdu68598

On rare occasions, supervised transfers can take about 1 minute to complete, resulting in the hold beep and about 30 seconds of dead air before the subscriber greeting is played.


Resolved Caveats—Release 2.4(6.126)

Table 6 Cisco Unity Release 2.4(6.126) Resolved Caveats

Caveat Number
Description

CSCae03457

When you finish a phone record and playback session and close the Media Master or ViewMail for Microsoft Outlook form, the AvTrapConnectionHolderSvr process does not end properly and remains visible in Task Manager. This may cause problems with third-party applications.

CSCae06114

In the Subscriber Playback conversation, Cisco Unity maps the # key to two functions. After a message being forwarded is addressed, the prompt says: "To add another name, press 1. To record an introduction to the message, press 2. To forward the message as is, press #. For message options, press #." When the # key is pressed, the message is forwarded as is.

The message options portion of the prompt has been corrected ("For message options, press 3").

CSCae06207

When you disable a message notification device using the Cisco Unity Administrator (Subscribers > Subscribers > Message Notification) and then try to delete the phone number associated with that device, an error message appears. When the page refreshes, the phone number reappears.

CSCae06454

When specifying call routing rules, if you use a hyphen to designate a range of ports and the range includes a two-digit port number, the wrong ports are affected. For example, a routing rule that is enabled on ports 1-10 works only on ports 1 and 10, and not on ports 2 through 9.

CSCae06581

The Subscriber Setup > Message Settings > Fax Delivery conversation does not let you enter a pause in a fax delivery number.

CSCae06678

With some Dialogic® integrations, resynchronizing MWIs occasionally causes Tapisrv.exe to crash or MWI ports to stop working.

To activate the fix

In the [Configuration] section of the active phone system file, add the parameter MinimumMWIRequestInterval=<milliseconds to wait between MWIs>. We recommend a value of 750.

CSCae07690

Under some circumstances, the wrong date is assigned to a subscriber's standard greeting, causing the disabling of the standard greeting. This occurs because the property AVP_TIME_EXPIRES in DohPropTest is either "(empty)" or the date that the machine was installed. When a greeting is edited that has the date that the machine was installed, AVP_TIME_EXPIRES changes to 12/31/90, which results in the disabling of the standard greeting.

CSCae07707

The Integration Monitor utility does not update the display properly and consumes too much memory when left open overnight.

In the following cases, the Cisco Unity AVImport utility returns a run-time error when you import from Microsoft Exchange or from a CSV file:

When the All Subscribers distribution list is removed from the default subscriber template.

When a First Name and Last Name are not entered for the user being imported.

CSCae07867

A 40- to 48-port load and a large global address list may cause subscribers to experience an 8- to 20-second delay after Cisco Unity answers and before the prompt "Please enter your password" is played.

CSCae07909

The TTS conversation does not read the subject line and body text of e-mails. This will occur when the Cisco Unity system is using the G729a codec with the AV-Cisco TSP. The following error is logged in the application event log:

Source: AvTTS_MC
Description: WavOutSupportsFormat failed with %2 (%3).

CSCae07963

In Cisco Unity version 2.4(6.102), when L&H RealSpeak is the TTS engine and the subscriber conversation language is set to anything other than ENU, e-mail messages are not read.

CSCae07970

MWI request frequency under heavy load can cause MWI failure.

To activate the fix

In the [Configuration] section of the active phone system file, add the parameter MinimumMWIRequestInterval=<milliseconds to wait between MWIs>. We recommend a value of 750.

CSCae08014

Installing the Internet Voice Connector on a Windows 2000 machine with Active Directory fails because the IVC installation program is hard-coded to use LDAP port 389.

The IVC installation program now asks what the Exchange LDAP port is.

CSCae08065

When you attempt to import Exchange subscribers by using the Cisco Unity AvImport utility or the Cisco Unity Administrator, an error message indicates that there are no matching records in Exchange to import, even though Exchange users do exist.

CSCae08114

When an Exchange distribution list has an invalid alias, running Cisco Unity Setup results in an error message. The message says that you may continue with setup and manually configure the system later, though this cannot be done. Exchange distribution lists do not show up in the Cisco Unity Administrator.

CSCae08137

When you are forwarding a message to another subscriber by using the phone, and either there is only one match to the letters you entered or you are addressing by extension, Cisco Unity does not state the name of the recipient that is being added, but simply says, "Added."

CSCdt90267

When using a serial integration, leading zeros are stripped for forwarded calls. This causes a call to go to the opening greeting instead of the specified mailbox when the forwarded party's extension starts with a 0.

To activate the fix

Add the following parameters:

In the serial integration file (for example, Averic.avd), in the [Configuration] section, add DoNotStripZero=YES.

In the phone system file that you are using (for example, Ericsson0001.ini), in the [Configuration] section, add AllowZeroLeadingExtensions=1.

CSCdu06733

On Toshiba phone systems using SMDI integration, some release transfers initiated by Cisco Unity are not answered when forwarded back to Cisco Unity from the RNA/Busy subscriber extension. In the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
Software\Arbiter\1.0\SystemConfiguration, the AllowCallsFromVoiceMail value is set to "0" by default. This prevents Cisco Unity from answering calls when the call information for a particular call indicates that the caller is a voice mail extension.

CSCdu13459

On startup, the system repeatedly asks for a disk in drive A, beginning before the Control-Alt-Delete logon. The message reappears even after you cancel it. The message that appears in the event log is:

Event Type: Information
Event Source: Application Popup
Event Category: None
Description: Application popup: AvCsMgr.exe - No Disk: There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive A.

CSCdu17234

When integrating Cisco Unity with Cisco CallManager, you sometimes receive ring no answer when calling Cisco Unity. Eventually you may be forwarded to a Cisco Unity port that answers. The port that causes the error becomes locked and can be unlocked only by restarting the system.

Just before the disconnect/reconnect sequence starts, an AvMIU_MC error appears in the event log. The AvMIU_MC error is:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: AvMiu_MC
Event Category: Error
Description: Component Miu: Thread 0x00000A64 had a Failure on Port 39 in Method CAvMiuTapiLine::GetNewCall()

This has been seen only on very high-traffic systems under extreme load, and will occur only when you are using AV-Cisco TSP 1.0(0.32) with Cisco Unity 2.4(6.102).

CSCdu17422

Cisco Unity repeatedly disconnects from and reconnects to Cisco CallManager, and ports become locked. An AvMIU_MC warning appears in the event log just before the disconnect/reconnects begin. This problem occurs under heavy load with AV-Cisco TSP 1.0(0.28), Cisco CallManager 3.0(8), and Unity versions 2.4(6.115) and later.

CSCdu31554

In very rare cases, a port gets into an endless loop of disconnects and reconnects. This occurs with Cisco Unity 2.4(6.102) when the Cisco Unity server has a large number of voice messaging ports and a relatively slow processor.

CSCdu31584

In very rare cases, a port gets into an endless loop of disconnects and reconnects. When this occurs, the Windows Event log contains an Miu Drop warning for each disconnect and reconnect. This occurs with Cisco Unity 2.4(6.102).

CSCdu53543

If you are using the G729a codec with L&H RealSpeak, you must manually enable the G729a codec by changing the registry.

CSCdu54454

If you are integrating Cisco Unity with Cisco CallManager, and if a port is configured both to answer calls and to turn MWIs on and off, Cisco Unity may attempt to use that port to turn an MWI on or off at the same time that it is processing a call on that port. This causes the MWI attempt to fail.


Documentation Updates

Change—Release 2.4(6.135)

Avoiding Collisions Between MWIs and Incoming Calls

Collisions between MWIs and incoming calls are not possible when ports are dedicated to handle only MWIs or incoming calls.

Although all known collision problems are fixed in Cisco Unity Release 2.4(6.135), there may be other collision issues that have not yet been discovered. Therefore, we recommend dedicated MWI ports.

Omission—Release 2.4(6.126)
