This guide provides information about migrating an on-premises deployment to the Cisco Webex Calling Dedicated Instance (WxC-DI) using the Yarnlab Wrangler. During a migration, Cisco deploys the Unified CM cluster, then an administrator at the partner configures it, replicating the on-premises source cluster/s and register the end-user devices to the WxC-DI post migration.
...
Wrangler supports migrations of single and multiple CUCM clusters into a single WxC-DI cluster and or to WxC-MT (from version 2.6.x).
The WxC-DI (CUCM cluster) Dialplan can be migrated using one of the following methods
...
In the Template option, Wrangler will deploy either a standardised CUCDM type dial plan or a standard Simplified Dial Plan to the target cluster, existing dial plan objects then have to be mapped to the target dial plan objects.

CMG
| Info |
|---|
Additional configuration may will be required based on source configuration - this will be visable after inital discovery in target mappings and will vary on dial plan option selected (Clone/Map) |
Data Extraction
Configuration is extracted from the source and target clusters and imported into Migration Assistant including all lines, devices, users and dial plan
Configuration can be periodically rediscovered if required for phased migrations
