David, When going through the purchase routine it appears there are four different versions of the 8.6 bundle. There is the following choices. 1. Adv. Unified Communication Specialized 2. Certified Business Edition Reseller 3. Cisco Learning Partner 4. Technology Development Partner. Which one do we want? Thanks, John

Yes, UCM is treated as an 'appliance' or holistic system, and after completing the UCM installation into a VM, the UCM system will be fully installed, up and running. The backing database is automatically created, started and populated - however note you will need to manually enable/start the AXL API service (and likely other services like Callmanager and TFTP if you intend to register phones and make test calls) - please see the UCM admin guides for details on service management.

David, One more question regarding the 8.6 NFR bundle. Once it is installed does it create the call manager database or is there something else that we will need? Thanks again. John

Yes, that looks like the 8.6 NFR bundle link. The AXL SQL Toolkit contains the actual AXL WSDL/schema files and some Java example code. This file is actually downloaded from the UCM instance itself via the administrative web pages under Application/Plugins.

Thanks David. Is this what we are looking for? https://cisco.mediuscorp.com/market/networkers/productView.se.work?/nxt/rcrs/proieidentity/=19801 One of our developers keeps running across something called axlsqltoolkit.zip but we cant seem to locate it. Is that part of the Cisco Unified Communications System Release 8.6 - Partner Bundle Offering (PBO)? John

In order to query provisioning/configuration data in UCM as you describe - users/devices/DNs, etc. - you will want to look at the AXL SOAP API: http://developer.cisco.com/web/axl/docs To get started with this API at minimum you will need an instance of UC Manager - here is the Getting Started page for AXL: http://developer.cisco.com/web/axl/start If you have already developed a UCM CDR application I would assume you have a UCM instance and you can just enable the AXL API service on it and start using it. If not, the simplest scenario is to obtain the UCM installation media via the UC NFR kit (see Getting Started) above, and install it into a VMWare virtual machine. UCM is officially supported for production use only on specific Cisco UCS servers running specific versions of VMWare, but it is known to run on any modern version of VMWare (including the free versions), which should be suitable for basic AXL development. If you are testing for high scalability, cluster/failover support, etc. in support of large deployments you may need to eventually consider provisioning a hardware-based UCM lab - CDN partner hardware/software discount program can help.

Hi Sunil, Its a proprietary application called WinCall. In its present state it collects CDR and CMR data from the call managers. We currently import the CDR and CMR files generated by the call managers into our SQL database. This then allows the end user to run reports showing a users call activity, usage, etc. This has always worked fine. What has led us down this road is that we have had clients ask us to populate our user information (extension number, user name, etc.) with the user information from the call manager database. This is where things get fuzzy for us and we are unsure of how to proceed setting up a way to test this process and getting a call manager database to test against. We are trying to figure it all out as we go and are not sure what we need to do in order to set up a test lab locally so we can develop our application further prior to submitting for IVT. Specifically what hardware and software we need to purchase to make it happen? Hope this helps clarify things. Let me know if you have any questions. John

IOS Technologies and System?

2011-12-22T12:27:16Z

Dear All, Our product uses NetFlow for network monitoring and analysis, but we are unable to choose the appropriate Cisco Tech/Category/Product for it and complete our Coplex Product. The Network and Services Management > Enterprise and Commercial Management > Cisco NAM appears to be closed (CIsco Product version is N/A). If I am informed correctly, this category should be replaced with Network Software and Systems > IOS Technologies and System > Network Monitoring, but the sub-category (IOS Tech) is not open. On your website, under IOS Technologies and System ([url=../../../web/cdc/tech]http://developer.cisco.com/web/cdc/tech[/url] ) it says ¿coming soon¿. When will this sub-category open? Is there another way to add our product? Thanks

NAM APIs Query

2011-06-13T16:09:53Z

Hi, I am looking at the NAM 5.0 API Guide manual. I have few queries: 1) Are the REST API's activated by default or some registration is required with cisco NAM 5.0 product?(Reference http://www.ciscoios.biz/en/US/prod/collateral/netmgtsw/ps5740/ps10506/qa_c67-644092.pdf, section:"Third-Party Reporting") 2) Will more details (extraction of performance data, only if possible through REST) about API's will be provided if we register(in point 1) for it? 3) Can we get NDE data using REST web service in XML response? 4) What is the schema for sql queries. Is it possible to provide time range in sql queries. Time range is the time period for which data needs to be extracted from NAM tool. (Reference, API_Guide.pdf, page -4, statement "For NetFlow data, the REST web services XML interface specifies a SQL-like query that is interpreted by the server"). Thanks and Regards, Adil
