Manipulating Data that has been exported in COBRAS before importing to a new unity cluster

[John Huthmaker]

I have a unique scenario.  One of my customers is migrating from an a CUCM/CUC 10.x environment to a new 12.x environment.  This project was brought about because of an acquisition.  The old Unity is connected to the old companies ldap, and the new unity is on a different LDAP.  THe account names are different between the two LDAP's.

My question is, once I have exported off the old Unity, is there a way for me to manipulate the exported data to update the usernames before importing to the new?  I have a spreadsheet that has old and new usernames.  We used that when we did the BAT export of phones to update the CSV files before importing to the new CUCM.

Use doable using DataViewer

Quoted:

"If subscriber aliases are not the same between systems, you can use the
Data Viewer to remap the aliases in the backup to aliases on the new
system. The Data Viewer lets you open up any of the DB files created by
the export process and view the data. There is a simple “export to CSV”
functionality that is used to map old Subscriber aliases to new Subscriber
aliases. You should make a copy of your primary backup DB and use the copy
to run the alias mapping because this function permanently rewrites the
contents of the DB that is used."

Here is the reference.
