We are preparing to upgrade from Unity Connection 1.2(1) to to 8.5 and I am wondering what is the best way to disable Connection 1.2 from taking new calls while we are running the COBRAS export? I was thinking about just shutting down the network port and physically transferring the COBRAS export from the old server to a host connected to the new staging environment, but wasn't sure if there might be a less disruptive way of doing this (e.g. a service that could be disabled, leaving enough of the services functional for the export)?
