Tip - If unsure what objects requires mapping (needs preconfiguration in target) the Source Type Action Defaults table will confirm all objects that require mapping for each dialplan migration type

...

Tip - most common object used (default) to create site suggestions are Device Pools

Note

The Default schemas should not be altered - if for some reason changes are required, the default schema should be cloned and modifications performed on the clone only

Mapping Tables

The Mapping Table option within the migration allows for the change of mappings on a per migration basis, then preview to check if the defined templates generate site suggestions as required. To check site suggestions for a particular mapping table option - select Preview table adjacent to required mapping source - in the below sample, we select Preview Table adjacent to Device Pools, although any of the Objects in the Name column can be used to generate sites.

...

If we now add a new template to try and match the DP that was not matched in original run, then Save and Preview, we can now see that the Device Pools match the new template.

Mapping LDAP User Correlator

Note

Note that the LDAP correlator feature is only supported for transform object and is not supported for WxC-DI migration using clone, it is supported for

  • WxC-DI MAP

  • WxC-MT

From Yarnman Version 2.6.5 there is an additional feature within Migration Mapping Tables allowing for selectable source attribute to use for mapping to target UserID. The use case for this is when the target UC servers CUCM LDAP uses a different AD server than source and a different LDAP attribute as UserID from the source is used in the target - for example if source cluster is LDAP synchronized to MS AD with the userID as samAccountName and target synced to Azure LDAP source and the userID is UPN.

...

In the first line under Mapping Table, in source column, type the name of the field the name of the field to be used as LDAP source UserID that will be mapped to target UserID attribute, enter the Target UserID as userId then Save Changes noting that all entries are case sensitive.

Valid sources for UserID are the Wrangler field attributes userId, email (Mailid), directoryUri, userIdentity, ldapObjectId, customUserFields* , target will always be userId

...

*customUserFields uses the source CUCM LDAP Directory Custom User Fields to be used as LDAP the source UserID that will be mapped to target UserID attribute, enter the Target UserID as userId then Save Changes noting that all entries are case sensitive.

Valid sources for UserID are the Wrangler field attributes userId, email (Mailid), directoryUri, userIdentity, ldapObjectId, customUserFields* , target will always be userId

...

*customUserFields uses the source CUCM LDAP Directory Custom User Fields to be used as the source UserID - in our sample, we have synchronised UserID AD attribute userPrincipalName as the Custom User Field and named it UPN. This would be entered in wrangler as customUserFields.UPN

...

...

Objects can also be set to skip using bulk change from v2.5.15 by setting the targetId to Skip
