Licence Clarification

2009-08-18T14:21:09Z

I am posting this here because <a>mailto:cuae-sales@cisco.com</a>] is apparently not a valid address.

I would appreciate some assistance in clarifying the licence structure
for Application Server in a "production environment".

I have a client interested in using the CUAE for development of a
message storage and retrieval (text only) solution, I am trying to
figure out exactly what type of licensing would be appropriate. I have
looked at the table on the data sheet, and I would just like to
clarify the terminology and variations available in the documentation.

First of all in reference to the terminology used to differentiate the
different license types (i.e. premium, enhanced and standard) I am not
sure I understand what is refereed to specifically by "licensed
application instances per server". Is this just a limitation to the
number of "different" applications that can be resident and run from
on server, or is this more complex than that ?

Additionally I would like some clarification between what the "Unified
AppServer 2.3 Instance xxx-Pack" are, I am assuming that they are
additional license packs that can be added on to either the enhanced
or standard licence to increase either the concurrent instances or
licensed application instance per server, but I would like some
clarification on this too if possible.

Thanks

RE: CUAE H/W and S/W sizing and limitations

Hi,

Our customer has 3 clusters with 7000 lines and wants to deploy single CUAE server for all clusters. Application we are deploying is mainly text and voice messaging. Which MCS server we should proposed. Is there any datasheet available at CIsco site to propose MCS server type? e.g. if customer has 1000 phones deployment then 7825, 1000-2000 phones then 7835 etc.
This datasheet is really impotant for us.

RE: Redundant CUAE Server which is configured for multiple cluster

2009-06-04T09:39:25Z

Hi Umesh,

You can configure one CUAE as the master and the other as the standby server. It does not need any specific configuration on the CUCM side. Only the concerned CUAE servers need to be configured. The configuration can be done on System->Redundancy page of both the servers. Once the two servers are configured as master and standby, both the servers will start sending heartbeat messages to each other and it means that the configuration is successful. Now the standby is ready to register the devices to the CUCM in case the master crashes.

But there is an issue. The redundancy feature with CUAE is not complete yet. Till now only the devices are supported on the master/server redundancy. Say if the master goes down while an application is executing, then the standby server will only be able to register the devices in its device pools to the CUCM. It won't be able to keep the application running. Apart from this you will not be able to run the application with the settings you configured on the master server.

Precisely, the redundancy feature available with CUAE is not complete. We'll take this as a request and complete the redundancy related features in our forthcoming releases.

Regards,
Rakesh.

RE: CUAE H/W and S/W sizing and limitations

2009-06-04T09:14:34Z

Hi Umesh,

The number of licenses required will depend on the customer's requirement that how many application sessions, Calls or media actions does he intend to run simultaneously. Say if there is going to be a peak scenario of 250 applications being triggered then the license should be enough for supporting 250 simultaneous application sessions and corresponding calls and media(RTP) actions.

When you ask about supporting x number of devices, what do you want to do to these devices using CUAE? Do you want to place calls to these devices using the CUAE or are you planning to put these devices in the CUAE's monitored device pool. Here, as per the usage, the license requirement will change.

The CUAE can support the fllowing :

Application sessions: 9999(MAX)
Voice Ports: 240
RTP Ports: 240
Enhanced RTP ports: 240
Conference Ports: 240
Speech Integration ports: 240
TTS Ports: 60

Under peak conditions, the behaviour of the MCS boxes differ. It depends on their h/w configuration. Some machines eat up more CPU usage as compared to the other machines under the same conditions. We have a BHCA and CPU usage comparison of some standard MCS boxes. Please let me know if you need those.

Regards,
Rakesh.

Redundant CUAE Server which is configured for multiple cluster

2009-06-03T12:00:06Z

Hi,
Our customer has 3 cluster and want to setup 2 CUAE Server. One as Master and second as Stand by server. My queries are -
- How Master and StandByServer works. Is there any specific configuration required for redundancy on CUCM in multi cluster scenario
- In CUAE Admin document it's specified that "Fewer than 240 simultaneous media streams are required and the projected amount of media stream traffic between IP endpoints" for multiple cluster scenario. What does this mean.
- How Load Balancing will work with mulltiple CUAE server. Is there any specific configuration required for load balancing on CUCM in multi cluster scenario

CUAE H/W and S/W sizing and limitations

2009-06-03T07:51:08Z

Hi,
What is the criteria to decide about the h/w (MCS or other sever) specifiction and CUAE licensing. We are currently proposing our CUAE based applications to a customer. This customer has around 7000 IP phones. Which MCS server we should propose and how much CUAE license required. Do you have any document related to h/w and CUAE license sizing? Mainly which MCS server can support how many phones and how many request. Is there any limitation on CUAE server that a single CUAE server can support on x number of devices or maximum x number (except number of licenses available) request . Please let me know if there is any limitation on CUAE.
<font size="2">
There is already one query at your forum but there is no response for this. (

CUAE Sizing - for Production

2009-03-19T18:27:28Z

Working on quoting some CUAE projects into a client and need some guidance on how to size the servers. Are there any sizing calculators or example configs that might guide me? The project is for a medical client and we are planning on building an app that sends text alerts to 7925s – crash cart needed, your lab results are ready, patient needs help in room 4, etc. There will be 50 total 7925s initially and the solution should be architected to alert all 50 at once, but daily use would not alert more than 5 phones.

Per the CUAE ordering guide, I tried to address this message to cuae-interest@cisco.com and cuae-sales@cisco.com, but neither of these were valid addresses.

[Cuae-interest] CUAE Designer Documentation ?

2009-02-02T19:08:52Z

Hi guys,

In our Cisco internal Unified Communications Demo Lab I'm trying to add the CUAE 2.5 solution.
The CUAE server is runing and I have the 3 default scripts (MakeCall, AnswerCall and JTAPIConnect) working with CUCM 7.0.

What I was looking for is a description for how to use the integrated debugging in the CUAE designer.
I couldn't find something on the wiki page

http://developer.cisco.com/web/cuae/wikidocs

If you have any kind of information in how to work with the CUAE designer (debuggingwise) and could send it to me, that would be perfect.

Kind Regards,

[Cuae-interest] FW: ANNOUNCE:Cisco Unified Application Environment 2.5(1)

2008-08-28T21:01:39Z

All,

Cisco Unified Application Environment version 2.5(1) Beta 3 is available
to download.

This is pre-release software and should not be used in production
environments.

New and changed information for Cisco Unified Application Environment
Release 2.5(1) Beta 3:

Updated Installers

The installers have been updated to make installs and updates easier and
to include newer versions of third-party applications. Specifically:

Production installers are now available for internal testing.

The production Core Addendum installer now includes HMP 3.0

SU214 and NeoSpeech 3.7. NOTE: SDK users must manually upgrade to these
newer versions of HMP and NeoSpeech before installing 2.5(1) Beta 3.

The production Core Addendum installer is now used for both

fresh installs and upgrades from 2.4.

Management Service adds support for TLS

In 2.5(1) Beta 2, we added support for TLS encryption and authentication
of communication between the CUAE command-line tool and the Management
Service API. With 2.5(1) Beta 3, we now also provide tools to make it
easier to enable authentication. For more information about
configuration options, see Management Service TLS.

Configurable Application Server Startup Timeout Value

Customers running a large number of applications can now configure the
Application Server Startup Timeout value to prevent the server from
timing out on startup. To do so, follow these procedures:

1. Open one of the following files on the Application Server as
appropriate for your environment:

%CUAE_HOME%/AppServerService.config-For environments running

the Application Server as a Windows service (the default).

%CUAE_HOME%/AppServer.exe.config-For environments running the

Application Server from the command line.

2. Locate and modify the value in the following line:

<add key="ApplicationServerStartupTimeout" value="240000"/>
