This article explains the impact of disabling specific CUCM services on data collection, in a question-answer format.

Question

What are the impacts on CUCM services and data collection if a service is disabled?

Answer

In the Set up Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) using the Admin Portal article, we list the Cisco services required for successful CUCM data collection:

  • Cisco Call Manager

  • Cisco CTI Manager

  • Cisco SOAP – CDRonDemand Service

  • Cisco CAR Web Service

  • Cisco AXL Web Service

Impact of Services on Data Collection

Below are the different services and their impact on data collection when enabled or disabled:

Cisco Call Manager

  • Cisco recommends that you do not run the Call Manager service on a publisher node, especially in a clustered environment.

  • If you are using WXP Collaboration Collector 4.7.0 or later, the collector can operate without the Call Manager service.

Cisco CTI Manager

  • Provides real-time information from CUCM, including device registration status.

  • If this service is off, WXP Collaboration cannot collect this real-time data, and validation will show an error.

  • If you only need CDR (call detail record) data from CUCM, you can continue to collect CDR data without CTI Manager.

  • Workaround: Add a Subscriber from which WXP Collaboration can collect real-time data.

Cisco SOAP – CDRonDemand Service

  • Required for CDR collection.

Cisco CAR Web Service

  • Required for CDR collection.

Cisco AXL Web Service

  • Required for CDR collection.
