Create a Targeted Model Type List¶
If you manage data on Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) or Cisco Unity Connection directly on a regular basis, perhaps for configuration that is not orchestrated from VOSS-4-UC, such as media resources, it is recommended to create a Model Type List and Data Sync specifically targeting the data items you are managing. This ensures each data sync is highly optimized for the data being changed on Unified CM directly and minimizing the load on VOSS-4-UC. To create a targeted Model Type List:
Procedure¶
Log in as Provider level admin or higher.
Select Administration Tools > Model Type List.
Click Add.
Specify the name of the Model Type List.
It is recommended to use a naming convention that makes it easy to identity the MTL in a list view, such as Unified CM Media Resources.
From the List Type drop-down, choose the list type:
- Choose Include Selected Model Types if the list of device models you want to sync is relatively short.
- Choose Exclude Selected Model Types if the list of device models you want to sync is relatively long. Exclude device models that tend to have lots of instances, like users, phones, and lines.
- Choose Ordered List if the list of device models you want to sync is relatively short and the order in which they are synced matters.
Add Model Types to the list of device models that are to be included or excluded according to the List Type selected.
See View List of Device Models for information on how to see a list of available Unified CM and Cisco Unity Connection device models.
Click Save.
