Product Overview & System Architecture


OverviewSingle view of subscribers and their services

Simplified management of subscribers, services, and Cisco Unified resources Day 1 – template deployments Day 2 – delegate MACDs

Single provisioning interface to Cisco Unified systems

Policy-based, business oriented

With the speed and accuracy of automation CCM, CCME

Unity, CUE, UC


Features - Multi-Dimensional Policy

Domains Defines groupings of

subscribers for delegation purposes

Service Areas Defines how to map to the

devices and applications in the voice network

Subscriber Types Defines policy related to

type of Subscribers in the organization

Service Areas

Subscriber Types

Domains


Features – Day 1 & Day 2

• Day 1 Template based Infrastructure provisioning

– Define configuration template w/ user defined keyword

Batch processing of total ‘services’ for subscribers

• Day 2 Delegation of MACD functions on a Domain Level

Provisioning Policy settable at several levels


Features – Authorization roles

• Predefined Authorization User Role determines level of access within CUPM

•Two types of Authorization User Roles Global roles: shared on all domains

Domain specific roles: Users with these roles can only perform authorized tasks within their assigned domain

• Access is accumulated if a user has multiple roles

All Ordering privileges plus can set provisioning attributes at time of order

All Ordering privileges plus can assign MAC at time of order

Approves or rejects provisioning requests

Assigns phone (MAC address) to an order

Ensures equipment sent before order processing continues

Ensures equipment received before order processing continues


Features – Role based access

• Administrator role Manages Cisco Unified systems provisioned by CUPM

Partitions domains and service areas based on department or location

Sets up domain level policies including

– Provisioning attributes

– Rules

System administration tasks like managing system users and license


Features – Role based access(Contd.)

•Domain Policy role Manages Policy for a domain

– Subscriber types and products that can be ordered against them

– Phone button templates

Manages phone inventory

• Ordering role Manages subscribers and their services for a single domain

Doesn’t need knowledge of Cisco Unified systems

System Debugging


Log File Locations

• Two main logs files in <Install Dir>\sep\logs sep.log (application server log ) nice.01.log (CUPM Nice Engine logs)

• Installation logs: <Install Dir>\install.log

• Cocoon Log: <Install Dir>\sep\deploy\dfc.ear\dfc.war\WEB-INF\logs

• Web server (Apache) logs: <Install Dir>\httpd\logs

• Application Server (JBoss) logs: <Install Dir>\jboss-4.0.3SP1\server\cupm\log

• Database (Postgres) logs: <Install Dir>\pgsql\data\pg_log

• CUPM administrator access is needed in most debugging


Changing Log Levels and Max Size

To change log level for App server and Nice engine Change dfc.log.level=<level> in <Install Dir>\sep\dfc.properties

Restart cupm JBossService and NiceService

To change the log level for NICE only Add dfc.log.level: <level> in file <Install Dir>\sep\nice.properties

Save the file and restart cupm NiceService

To change the log max size of log file before it rotates, Update property dfc.log.maxsize=<size>

Save the file and restart cupm JBossService


AXL Message Logging

Properties to output Call Manager AXL SOAP requests/responses to log dfc.ipt.axl.soap.output.request.enabled: <N/Y>

dfc.ipt.axl.soap.output.response.enabled: <N/Y>

Change these properties in the file <Install Dir>\sep\ipt.properties, save file, and restart CUPM NiceService
