User data import to System Manager

Last Updated : Apr 30, 2018 |

The User Profile Management (UPM) service in System Manager is a single point of administration for user profile data associated with multiple Avaya products. Similarly, the Subscriber Manager service in CS 1000 UCM is a single point of administration for user profile data for Heritage Nortel products. In System Manager 6.1, the UPM and Subscriber Manager applications coexist and are part of System Manager. Element Managers use:

  • UPM to manage users for Heritage Avaya products

  • Subscriber Manager to manage users for Heritage Nortel products

In System Manager 6.2, Subscriber Manager is merged into UPM and is called User Management (UM). UM includes several Subscriber Manager features. With the removal of Subscriber Manager, perform the steps listed in this section on System Manager 6.1 and 6.2 or later to ensure that the subscriber data is successfully migrated to UM of System Manager 6.2 and later.

Prerequisites

Register CS 1000 with the preupgraded System Manager Release 6.1 primary security domain.

Moving users and accounts from Subscriber Manager to User Management involves the following key procedures:

  • On System Manager Release 6.1: Preparing the Subscriber Manager user data for import to User Management. This preimport procedure copies the Subscriber Manager Universally Unique ID (UUID) of the user to another field which can be preserved during the import to User Management. After the import, you must use the UUID to reassociate phones and mailboxes.

  • On System Manager Release 6.1: Importing the Subscriber Manager user data to User Management. This procedure transfers the user data from the Subscriber Manager directory to the User Management database using LDAP synchronization.

  • On System Manager Release 6. 2 and later: Performing postimport tasks that involve:

    • Exporting the users to an XML file to assign communication profile passwords in User Management and reimporting the users.

    • Creating the communication profile for each user and performing profile synchronization in User Management for CS 1000 element that you import.
