Hi,
I've had two sites:
1) Where the mailbox messages did not apply. My fault on the first one as did not apply Unified Messaging keycode, however applied on 2nd one (both to 4.0 & 450r5), and despite latest service updates on 4.0 and 450. The mailbox and greetings were carried over okay however no mailbox messages.
2) Where the telephony was partial success only.
First site had 3 digit DNs, 2nd site 4 digit DNs.
Even with the 4 digit DNs, let's say extensions 3400-3450 used by customer IP sets. Along comes DMM and extracts the data without a problem, then when apply phase (on 450) it (for example only) allocates 3430 & 3431 & 3432 as application DNs, not user DNs, so the configuration for these user DNs are all wrong. Also I attempted a workaround, wherby I did a configuration rest, deconfigured all application pools, then configured 10 applications only, with a start DN which did not clash (eg 3459 in this example). Retried the apply phase using the .XCM, and DMM allocated a large number of application DNs (100?? not the 10 I configured previously. This large number of application DNs then replaced some of the user DNs, renumbering the user DNs and screwing their configuration entirely (wrong OLI, wrong control set, wrong everything). I had application DNs and user DNs mixed together (hope this makes sense), and not a nice contiguous range for application DNs.
PLUS regardless of application DNs 'clash' with user DNs, a lot of user DNs were not carried over properly, including wrong OLIs, wrong names etc.
At this stage that DMM appears to be doing a pretty bad job. Case raised into Avaya for comment....when comparing the 4.0 (backup provided to Avaya) to the 450 (.xcm file provided), this provides evidence of poor 'translation' if you like.
Also please refer to
I can understand genuine mistakes in the upgrade...however try following the docs to the letter, rub your tum & pat your head & what else will it take to get DMM working properly?
I'd be interested if anyone else has followed the book (both the upgrade guide and the DMM guide including having met the DMM prerequisites) and experienced quality issues with DMM.
