Initiate Metadata Synchronization for Unified CVP Rest API

In the CVP REST API architecture, information of media files on Media Server and VXML applications on a VXML server is saved on a WSM Server as metadata in Derby database. This metadata information is created, updated, and deleted by the REST API calls. There may be situations where the metadata may go out of sync with files on VXML Servers and Media Servers. Examples are addition and deletion of CVP Servers, deployment of apps and media files by a tool other than the REST API, and CVP Media Server or the VXML server upgraded from a version where the REST API was not supported.

A command line tool “metasynch.cmd” is available at C:\Cisco\CVP\wsm\CLI to enable synchronization of metadata with the files on VXML Servers and Media Servers. The tool internally uses the Synch up API to perform the synchronization. It takes three arguments- WSM user name, WSM user password, and server type (MEDIA, VXML or VXML_ STANDALONE). Based on the server type information, all servers of the respective server type are synchronized. If the server type argument is not provided, metadata is synchronized with all media servers and VXML servers configured in OAMP.

In case of an upgrade, the media files and VXML applications are present in the Media Servers and VXML Servers but corresponding metadata information is not present in the WSM Server. The absence of metadata information limits a user from using the REST API to access, update, and delete existing media files and VXML applications on the Media Server and the VXML Server.

Synchronize Metadata Files Using Sync-Up Tool

To invoke metasynch.cmd, complete the following steps.

Procedure

Step 1

Navigate to the C:\Cisco\CVP\wsm\CLI location.

Step 2

Run the metasynch.cmd file with following arguments:

wsm username
wsm password

Example:

metasynch.cmd wsmusername wsmpassword MEDIA

Usage : metasynch [options] username password [servertype]

servertype : MEDIA/VXML/VXML_STANDALONE

options : -help -? print this help message

Note

The server type argument should be MEDIA, VXML, or VXML_STANDALONE type. If the server type argument is not provided, the metadata is synched with all the VXML applications on VXML servers and all media files on Media servers. Logs for synch command tool can be found at the following location:

C:\Cisco\CVP\wsm\CLI\log\SyncTool.log

Upgrade VMware vSphere ESXi

If you use VMware vCenter Server in your deployment, upgrade VMware vCenter Server before upgrading VMware vSphere ESXi.

Upgrade VMWare vSphere ESXi on Side A and Side B servers to the latest version supported with this release of Packaged CCE. Packaged CCE uses standard upgrade procedures, which you can find using VMware documentation (https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/).
