Workflow: Overview

The major change in the configuration between Cisco Unified Communications Domain Manager from 8.x and VOSS-4-UC is the location of the master data.

In CUCDM 8.x deployments, the master copy of all data was stored in the Shared Data Repository (SDR). Therefore any changes to the data were made in Cisco Unified Communications Domain Manager and then synchronized down to the UC Applications such as Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

In VOSS-4-UC, the source of master data is distributed between VOSS-4-UC and the call manager. A bidirectional sync is used to export and import data from VOSS-4-UC and the applications. This approach enables configuration changes to be made on either the VOSS-4-UC or the UC applications - giving greater flexibility and faster problem resolution.

The following chapters include content on provisioning VOSS-4-UC. Information on the provisioning steps and interactions between VOSS-4-UC and the various UC applications supported by Cisco HCS is included.

Details on User and Subscriber management, including LDAP-related move and push operations, are also available.
