Cannot get CDR report by running a poweshell script after CUCM upgrade from 11.5.1 SU2 to SU7

Hi all,

 

I got a strange issue that i cannot get CDR report by running the powershell script after patching CUCM from 11.5.1 su2 to su7. The script worked fine before the upgrade and CAR services are running. I can get CDR data using the username that i used for exporting the CDR report. Please take a look at the following script and the error message. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Here is the script:

Start-Transcript -Path H:\HelpDeskMissedCallStats\Output.txt

Function notify()

{

    param([string]$totalCalls, [string]$totalMissedCalls, [string]$totalAnsweredCalls, $from, $to, [string]$totalOnCallMissedCalls, [string]$totalOnCallCalls, [string]$totalOnCallAnsweredCalls)

 

    $emailAddress = "x@x"

 

    $Email = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage

    $Email.From       = "x@x"

    $Email.To.Add($emailAddress)

    $Email.To.Add($emailAddress1)

    $Email.To.Add($emailAddress2)

    $Email.To.Add($emailAddress4)

 

    $Email.IsBodyHtml = $true

 

    $Email.Body += "<h3>Help Desk:</h3>"

    $Email.Body += "<p>Total Calls: $totalCalls </p>"

    $Email.Body += "<p>Total Missed: $totalMissedCalls <p>"

    $Email.Body += "<p>Total Answered: $totalAnsweredCalls </p>"

 

    $Email.Body += "<h3>On Call:</h3>"

    $Email.Body += "<p>Total Attempted Reaches: $totalOnCallCalls </p>"

    $Email.Body += "<p>Total Missed or Rejected: $totalOnCallMissedCalls <p>"

    $Email.Body += "<p>Total Answered / Taken: $totalOnCallAnsweredCalls </p>"

It looks like the script is 'scraping' the CUCM web page for the CAR report.  This is notoriously fragile, as changes to the page (which is intended for humans to read/interpret) such as layout/element order/element naming/JS invocation/etc can cause the scraping script to fail unexpectedly - even if there are no changes to the naked eye.

Normally you would want to use a supported API for this kind of situation, as an API would be designed to be interpreted by code reliably, with considerations for backward compatibility between and across releases.  Unfortunately these CAR reports do not provide a public API...

Whoever built this script will likely need to go in and re-reverse engineer the CAR report page to account for the apparent changes in the DOM, and update this script to handle those changes.

(Note, there are supported API mechanisms for retrieving CUCM CDRs, however those provide raw/bulk call details - it can require a lot of effort/experience to write code to retrieve/store/query/analyze and generate reports from that data.  There are a number of Cisco partners who have developed very powerful CDR analysis applications - one of those may work for you out of the box, or they could possibly provide custom reports as well...)

Can i have a solution for opening a paid Case-Based Ticket with DevNet? Thanks

As the script is not using a supported API, unfortunately Developer Support would not be able to assist.  If the person who wrote the script is not able to update it, you may need to find someone with Powershell scripting and 'front-end web development' skills who can take a look.
