Run Overbuild processes Unified CM imported objects for all sites in the current customer. It must be run at the Customer hierarchy.
A device model is moved to a site on condition that there is a Network Device List Reference (NDLR) referencing the device at the site.
Note
The line goes to the first site that the Run Overbuild tool finds. The site selection is not deterministic.
The conditions for creating or updating the INI (Internal Number Inventory) during Overbuild are listed in the table below:
| Given | Then |
|---|---|
|
The lines in the INI at the Site are updated to "Used". |
|
The lines in the INI at the Customer are updated to "Used". |
|
The INI is created at the Site. |
|
The lines in the INI at the Customer are updated to "Used". |
|
The lines in the INI at the Site are updated to "Used". |
|
The INI is created at the Customer. |
The options available in the Overbuild Action drop-down are:
All Enabled Sites Using Settings Below
All selected devices on the Run Overbuild form are included.
The Site Defaults Doc for each site contains an Overbuild Defaults tab. If the Include Site for Overbuild check box is selected, the site is included.
An internal number inventory is created at customer level if the Create Internal Number Inventory at Customer check box is selected or at site level if the check box is cleared (if Lines are included).
The Device Pools are from the General Defaults tab of the Site Defaults Doc and the Additional Device Pools from the Overbuild Defaults tab.
The devices displayed when the Limit Move Devices option is selected on the Overbuild Defaults tab are ignored. Runs Overbuild for all sites, and uses the devices selected on the Run Overbuild form.
When the Run Overbuild tool executes with this option, it will apply to all sites and use the devices selected on the Run Overbuild form. Run Overbuild devices supersede the devices selected in Limit Move Devices.
All Enabled Sites Using Site Defaults Doc Overbuild Settings
Single Enabled Site Using Settings Below
Overbuild is applied to the single site specified in the Select Site drop-down, which is exposed when this Overbuild option is selected.
Only sites that have the Include Site for Overbuild check box selected in the Site Defaults Doc are available in the drop-down.
All selected devices on the Run Overbuild form are included.
An internal number inventory is created at customer level if the Create Internal Number Inventory at Customer check box is selected or at site level if the check box is clear (if Lines are included).
The Device Pools are from the General Defaults tab of the Site Defaults Doc and the Additional Device Pools from the Overbuild Defaults tab.
The devices displayed when the Limit Move Devices option is selected on the Overbuild Defaults tab are ignored. Runs Overbuild for the selected site, and uses the devices selected on the Run Overbuild form.
When the Run Overbuild tool executes with this option, it applies to the selected site only, and uses the devices selected on the Run Overbuild form. Run Overbuild devices supersede the devices selected in Limit Move Devices.
Available device types include:
The specific device models that are affected by the Overbuild move, are:
Data models affected when the user is moved during Overbuild:
The availability of certain device type check boxes depends on the status of other device type check boxes. For example, the Dual-Mode Remote Destinations, Users, and Lines check boxes are only available if the Phones check box is selected. The Device Profiles, Remote Destination Profiles, and CUC Users check boxes are only available if the Users check box is selected.
Overbuild workflows do not stop on any transaction failures and no transaction rollback takes place on errors. For example, device instance move operations to Sites continue for all selected devices. Inspect the transaction log for errors.
In the Transaction log, subtransactions of a successful overbuild workflow show their Status as "Fail" if a model (such as a User) already exists. The subtransaction logs also show details of the duplicate model and an "ignore error code" information message.
Important
It is recommended that VOSS Automate training and/or VOSS Services are engaged during the initial use of the feature to help ensure optimized processes and guidance.
The Overbuild feature enables Provider and Reseller Administrators to integrate existing, deployed Microsoft Tenants into VOSS Automate without re-provisioning, unless required.
In VOSS Automate, a Microsoft Tenant shows the combined and specific details of a MS Office 365 and MS Teams tenant.
Overbuild provides tools to help the administrator manage Microsoft Tenant data synced from existing configurations.
While a Microsoft Tenant does not contain such VOSS Automate components as a hierarchy or a subscriber, the relationship with Microsoft Tenant components makes it possible to, for example, create a VOSS Automate subscriber at a site hierarchy during the Overbuild process. The necessary filters can be set up and workflows, macros, and brownfield move processes are available for this purpose.
After overbuild is run for the first time, a schedule is created in VOSS Automate that can be set up to run at a selected interval.
The table describes overbuild logic for handling users and subscribers:
| Users | The synced in Microsoft Tenant user is moved to the site, based on the MS 365 model filter criteria selected for the site in the site overbuild defaults. To allow this, ensure you select Include Site for Overbuild and Microsoft Users (on the Overbuild Defaults tab in the site defaults). To view the number of Microsoft users at the hierarchy level (MS 365 users, MS Teams users, and MS Exchange users), go to Overbuild > Overview Tool. |
| Subscribers | A Microsoft tenant user can be set up for Enterprise voice using Quick Add Subscriber - see: Quick Add Subscriber for Microsoft Users. |
Configure Overbuild Site Defaults for Microsoft
Pre-requisites:
Note
To configure a site for overbuild:
Note
Alternatively, go to (default menus) Site Management > Defaults and select the Overbuild Defaults tab.
Run Overbuild
In the VOSS Automate Admin Portal, go to (default menus) Overbuild > Run Overbuild.
Choose the site.
In a Microsoft-only environment, select only Microsoft Users to include in the overbuild.
Note
This allows Microsoft users to move to the site. VOSS Automate looks at the MS user, and checks whether it has MS Teams and MS Exchange, and moves these elements to the sites along with the user.
Save your changes to run the overbuild.
Note
The overbuild:
The number management step occurs on sync, overbuild, as well as in a number audit. You can run a number audit anytime to verify that numbers are correctly flagged as used or available (via Number Management > Audit Number Inventory) - see Run the Directory Number Inventory Audit Tool.
