Record Consolidation

Last Updated : Jul 06, 2017 |

By default, to maintain the configurations of the systems in a Server Edition solution in synch, certain types of configuration records are consolidated. That is, they are replicated in the individual configuration of each system in the network. Consolidation is applied to:

  • Short Codes - System short codes only.

  • Time Profiles

  • Account Codes

  • User Rights

  • Locations - Even when consolidated, the Emergency ARS and Fallback System settings for each location are configured individually on each system.

Consolidate Network Operation

Use of consolidated settings is controlled by the  > Preferences > Consolidate Objects setting.

Setting

Description

Enabled

  • Entry and administration of consolidated records is performed only at the solution level.

  • Those records are then automatically replicated in the configurations of all the systems in the solution but, except for locations, are still only visible and editable at the solution level.

  • When the configurations are loaded or when this setting is changed to become selected, if any inconsistency between records are found, a Consolidation Report is displayed. This report allows selection of whether to update the system to match the primary or to update the primary to match the system.

Disabled

  • Entry and administration of consolidated records can be performed at both the solution and individual system levels.

  • Records entered and edited at the solution level are still automatically replicated in the configurations of all the systems in the solution. Each record displays a label on the record indicating that it is a record that is shared across the solution.

  • If a shared record is edited at the individual system level, that copy of the record is no longer shared with the other systems. It will not be updated by any changes to the solution level version of the same record.

  • No consolidation checking for inconsistencies is done when the configurations are loaded.
