/var/lib/couchdb/cdr

Local path that CDR folders and files are deposited in. Default is /var/lib/couchdb/cdr These are required if running migration report CDR Dialing Forest

...

  • Customer Prefix defines the prefix for multiple dialplan objects deployed for Template Migration only

  • Site Prefix defines the prefix for multiple dialplan objects deployed for Template Migration only

...

Others

  • Clone Access Control Group Suffix This is used for Migrations to On Prem CUCM where Rank Mapping is required

...

Mapping Object Defaults

The Mapping Object Default Matrix defines source data objects mapping to target data objects. These should be left as default

...

The option for each object is either A

  • Clone (object will be cloned in target)

  • Map (the object will be mapped to target configured object)

  • Transform (the object will use transform template to update or add fields on an object)

  • Skip/Ignore (the object will not be migrated)

...

  • De-Duplicate and Clone Objects will be de-duplicated using a linked process before cloning.

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

Wrangler Migration Menu

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.

...

Map types are objects that must be mapped from source to target clustter. The types show objects in Unmapped, Mapped, Skipped, Loaded state. During a migration you will be prompted to map the objects that are currently unmapped, all of these are highlighted in Yellow in Map Types (mandatory mappings) section under Source Cluster Objects, Unmapped, Customer headings and cannot progress until all mappings performed.

Objects can also be set to skip using bulk change from v2.5.15 to version 2.5.24 by setting the targetId to Skip

...

From version 2.6.X objects are skipped in bulk change by selecting Skip As Source / Set Not Used? to True
