-
-
Transform tool
-
Added a warning message in the exception report that indicates The auto-attendant using enterprise-level extension or name dialing in BroadWorks will no longer function after migration. This warning is logged only during location-by-location migration and not during the migration of all sites under a customer.
-
In the exception report, added the BroadWorks Service Provider Name under the location dependency section.

- Fixed an issue where the tool logged an error message for the initial 403 Forbidden response, even when the subsequent retry succeeded with a 200 is OK. The error message is now logged only if all retry attempts fail.
- Fixed an issue where the tool incorrectly logged subscribers as successful in the success file, even if they are pre-existed in a Cisco Webex Organization or used an email domain associated with a different Webex Organization. These cases now trigger an error file.
