Explanation:
Connection Reports Data Harvester is the service required for Cisco Unity Connection report generation. Unity
Connection reports can be accessed in Cisco Unified Serviceability, which enables an administrator to view
reports and manage other Cisco Unified Communications Manager (UCM) features. Unity Connection is a
voice messaging product that is typically installed as an appliance. Cisco Unified Serviceability is a
browserbased troubleshooting tool that uses Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS) to access
information that is provided by other reporting tools, such as Cisco Unified RealTime Monitoring Tool (RTMT)
and Call Detail Records (CDR) Analysis and Reporting (CAR) tool.
The Connection Reports Data Harvester service allows data to be collected from log files and entered into the
Cisco Unified Serviceability Reports Archive, which holds information from which reports can be generated. You
can verify that the Connection Reports Data Harvester service is running by clicking Navigation > Cisco Unified
Serviceability from within the UCM graphical user interface (GUI) and then clicking Service Management from
the Tools menu. The Connection Reports Data Harvester service can be found under Optional Services. If the
service is deactivated, you can click Activate to turn it on.
The Bulk Administration Tool (BAT), not the Connection Reports Data Harvester, enables administrators to
import or modify users by using commaseparated values (CSV) files. For example, to use the BAT to modify
the voice mail message length limit, you could export the voice mail users to a CSV file, change the message
length limit value for each user in the CSV file, and then import the CSV file again. You can access the BAT by
clicking Tools> Bulk Administration Tool in the Unity Connection GUI.
The Cisco Directory Synchronization (DirSync) service, not the Connection Reports Data Harvester,
synchronizes existing Unity Connection users with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory
services, such as Microsoft Active Directory. To enable Unity Connection to synchronize with an LDAP
directory, you must select the Cisco DirSync check box in the Directory Services area of the Unity Connection
GUI. In addition, you can import new users from LDAP by either using the BAT to import a CSV file or by using
the Users > Import Users tool to import into Unity Connection LDAP information that was previously imported
into UCM. Because Unity Connection stores users locally, a user that is synchronized with Unity Connection
from LDAP will continue to be stored locally even if that user is later deleted from the LDAP database.
A user template, not the Connection Reports Data Harvester, is the feature that an administrator can use to
automatically populate certain settings of a new user account in Unity Connection. Templates are created in
Unity Connection by clicking Templates > User Templates and then clicking Add New. Next, you should choose
an existing template to use as the base for the new template. The template you choose as the base template
can be one of the Unity Connection default templates, such as the Voicemail User Template or the
Administrator Template, or a custom template that you have previously configured. The new template will
inherit all the settings of the base template except for settings that are unique to each template, such as the
template alias and display name.https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/7x/troubleshooting/guide/7xcuctsgx.pdf
