© Copyright 2023 ALE International, ALE USA page 10/70
Note ➢ From 50000 subscribers, you need the agreement of ALE International (process PCS – Premium
Customer Support).
➢ From 100 nodes or PCS, you need the agreement of ALE International (process PCS – Premium
Customer Support).
➢ For Accounting, the maximum number of tickets is 30 million.
➢ It’s not recommended to use the local Client installed on the server. However, if for any reason this
Client is regularly used, it’s advised to increase the memory size.
➢ If you encounter slowness on the OmniVista 8770 server, it can be due to Windows Defender antivirus
scan of Windows 2016
Workaround: Configure the OmniVista 8770 folder as an exception

Note The number of simultaneous thick client connections is limited to 30, and 60 for the web client

Virtualization requirements

OmniVista 8770 has been validated in a VMware ESX® environment and Microsoft Hyper-V®.
Refer to the OmniVista 8770 R5.0 Capacity Planning tool.
The hyper-threading option should not be validated on the VM.

Network hardware requirements…

Recommendation to use a network card Ethernet 10/100bT

Note OmniVista 8770 doesn’t support two Network boards for the administration flow.
Thus, there is no possibility to dissociate the administration flow from the thick client on a network board
and OmniVista 8770 server flows with the OXE, OT, OCE nodes on a second network board.

Software and hardware compatibility


The installation on a dedicated Server PC according to the prerequisites allows a correct operation of the
software. If the number of users is lower than 250 and if the Server PC must support other applications, you
should analyze the compatibility, estimate the performance requirements of other applications and strictly
follow the installation/un-installation procedure. Moreover, the operation of these other external applications
is not supported.
The Security Guide provides a description of parameters for compatibility between an external application
and OmniVista 8770 server.

Configuring the Server PC


The space disk requirements and the rules of disks partitioning are described in the Installation manual.

© Copyright 2023 ALE International, ALE USA page 11/70
Here are the essential points:
Hard disk.
A NTFS partition must be set for installing the DSEE Oracle LDAP Server. When installing the server, it is
better to keep the defaults directories and to change only the physical drives.
The Path environment variable giving the access path to Windows and to its dll, which will receive the access
path to OmniVista 8770 binary, must be valid.
• The Path is managed through the System icon of Windows Control Panel.
• If the Path is too long, a blocking error can occur during installation.
• The Path must not have obsolete path, ;; doubles or \\ doubles.
 If there is an error message regarding the Path on installation, change its value and keep only the
access path to the operating system.
C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32
\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
The name of the computer must NOT include the following characters:
«/ \ [ ] “ : ; | < > + = , ? * _ ».

Warning Make sure that no client in local has opened a session otherwise there is a risk of database corruption.

Warning The server upgrade from 2.5 release brings a modification for the VOIP quality supervision application. The
Performance application based on a VitalSuite module has been removed. It has been replaced by a simpler
and more integrated module. Reports and data from the previous application will no more be available
after the upgrade to R4.0. The data must be processed before the upgrade.

The upgrade to OmniVista 8770 R5.0 is available from version 4.0.08 (version 11 in the license). It is mandatory
to update the server in the latest maintenance release before upgrading.
The upgrade provides upgrade of the OmniVista 8770 database in new version, including scheduled tasks,
administrators accounts, etc.
Instead of upgrading, it is always possible to reinstall the server: reinstallation allows restarting with new
data, while importing archived accounting tickets and custom report definitions.

For OmniVista 8770 servers with a version < 2.0 (version < 7 in the license), the recommendation is to do a
new installation. Direct upgrade is not available, it is necessary to upgrade following the migration paths
below:

8.4 New features in OmniVista 8770 R5.1

Subscription mode for OmniVista 8770 and OXE Purple on demand

As of release 100.1 (n2), OXE Purple can work in a subscription mode (also called Purple on Demand, OPEX).
OXE interacts with the LMS (License Management Server located in the Cloud) to get the authorizations.
The OXE is also connected to the Cloud via the CCO agent for FTR (First Time Registration) and RTR (Right
To Run).
OmniVista 8770 is an option in the Purple subscription offer. There is no direct link between OmniVista 8770
and the LMS. All the checks are requested by the OXEs taking part of the subscription:
- Authorization to manage OXEs by OmniVista 8770
- Authorization to create users
A Purple on Demand subscription is made from MyPortal: the global number of users and the OmniVista 8770
option are defined in the subscription.

If the OmniVista 8770 option is subscribed, MyPortal requests eLP to generate one or more OmniVista 8770
OPEX licenses (full features, limited to 50,000 users), depending on the number of users in the subscription.
The OmniVista 8770 license contains 2 new items:
• SubscriptionMode = 0 / 1: 0 means CAPEX, 1 means OPEX

OmniVista 8770 - Release 5.1 - Installation Procedure for version 5.1.16.01.a TC 3064 ed. 02

Security enhancements

For security reasons, the port 80 (http) is more and more replaced by the port 8443 (https) for all applications.
The application concerned: Alarm, topology, help online, server file chooser and scheduler logs.
As a result, when the administrator launches the Topology/Alarm application, there is a pop-up with a security
alart. If administrators must accept the security alert pop up to open the application. When you close and
launch the OmniVista 8770, this alert will occur once.

To avoid definitively this pop-up, the administrators can import manually the CA certificate from 8770 into the
trusted store of browsers. This is the auto signed certificate.

Manage My Phone has its own http server and will switch to https on port 15443.

WBM Performance Dashboard Enhancement

The purpose of this feature is to offer new improvements and adaptation to help administrator monitor OXE
performance.

8.4.3.1 Dynamic threshold detection

Now the following application are in https: Alarms, Topology, Help, server file chooser and Scheduler.

The access to the OmniVista 8770 WBM (http://OmniVista 8770 FQDN>/nmclient ) does not redirect to
https://OmniVista 8770 FQDN>:8443/nmclient if port 80 is blocked by the firewall. The administrator is required
to enter the URL https://OmniVista 8770 FQDN>:8443/nmclient directly on browser.

Information:
The server uses the 8443 port with https for the Alarms/Topology applications. As a result, when the
administrator launches the Alarm/Topology applications, a security alert will appear. If administrators wish to
use the Alarms/Topology applications, Omnivista 8770 client, this alert will occur once.

12 MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION & RESTRICTIONS

Note
All the “CR8770-…” ref. mentioned below are internal anomaly reports references. Check with Technical
Support on which version/patch it is fixed or if correction is important for you.
In this chapter, you will find miscellaneous information about applications, components that could be
useful, plus some restrictions.

12.1 RTUM
The Russian Government has changed the Time zone from utc+3.00 to utc+4.00. For this reason, a delay of
one hour in RTUM counter calculation can be experienced. To solve the issue, Microsoft has recommended
the patch Windows8.1-KB3162835-x64 to be installed to bring back the time zone in utc+3.00. After, the
RTUM counter calculation will be OK.

Restrictions:

➢ CR8770-13026 5.1.11c\No 31000 Internal Alarm raised When RTU metering calculation job failed

➢ CR8770-13030 5.1.11c\No 31000 Internal Alarm raised No 31000 Alarm raised - when OXE mao is off & the
synchronization between OmniVista 8770 and node failed

12.2 Users Application


General Information:

➢ When DM on OXE feature is enabled, limited attributes are shown for associated sets from the Users
application

➢ Older OT meta profiles (created for OT16) are made inactive when OmniVista 8770 server is upgraded to
8770 R5.0

➢ During user creation with Meta profile, additional attributes are made editable from R4.1.

➢ To create OmniPCX Enterprise/ OpenTouch Connection users based on profiles, OmniPCX Enterprise/
OpenTouch synchronization needs to be performed first, to get the OE/OT profiles in Users Application.

➢ Option ‘Export for Rainbow’ is introduced in contextual menu at root and department level, and new
preference rule in preferences menu is introduced to support mass provisioning of Rainbow users.
Refer help document for Loginmail syntax in Rainbow preference rules.
Ex: Firstname_lastname@Domain.com

➢ A mandatory attribute “OXE Profile Name” has been added for OpenTouch Connection User creation in
the Users Application. This attribute is populated by selecting an entry from a drop down menu. In order
for the drop-down list to be populated, the profile(s) need to be created in the OXE associated with Site
being used for OpenTouch Connection user creation, and then synchronized.

© Copyright 2023 ALE International, ALE USA page 42/70
➢ Admin creates a metaprofile for connection users with a free number range. This free number range is
previously created in OXE configuration:

Max. number parameter is very sensitive: it limits the number of first free directory numbers returned
by OmniPCX Enterprise when a consultation is requested. If the administrator sets a very high value
by mistake or by thinking that this is the range size (possible misunderstanding), the consultation time
increases a lot.
Example: the time to get the first 3000 free number range is about 3-4 seconds.

The problem is that such consultation is done during the creation of a connection user via a
metaprofile. Several seconds can be wasted because of a too high Max.number parameter.

Workaround: the recommendation is to set 10 or even less. In such case, the consultation of free directory
numbers is immediate, and the user creation is therefore optimized.

➢ ALE SoftPhone:

OmniVista 8770 - Release 5.1 - Installation Procedure for version 5.1.16.01.a TC 3064 ed. 02
© Copyright 2023 ALE International, ALE USA page 43/70
• The ALE Softphone can only be associated to a secondary SIP Extension of an OXE user. ALES cannot
be associated to a main set.

• ALES: External login is not updated in Company Directory entry. Refer to CR8770-12097

➢ OTC PC SIP connection is no more working.

Restrictions:

➢ Memory limit is exceeded with OXE user search for more than 1000 users. Refer to CR8770-6607

➢ “X89 40 keys AOMV” system option has incidence on the ALE Essential/Enterprise phone sets. This
behavior observed with OXE N1.280.5 is not correct. This will be fixed in a future OXE N1 release.
Refer to CR8770-11642

➢ For ALE DeskPhones number of virtual keys and special keys are not finalized in OXE Purple R100.

➢ 'SIPVOIPTicketcollector' value:
With 'Dm on 8770', in the associated Device
If Voip Ticket is enabled, then following would be setting in config file generated by 8770
<setting override="true" value="true" id="SIPVoIPTicketsCollector"/>

If voip ticket is disabled, then following would be setting in config file generated by 8770
<setting override="true" id="SIPVoIPTicketsCollector" define="default"/>

➢ Even if 'sip translator fqdn' value is filled and available in OXE and in Native encryption settings, in
the OmniVista 8770 DM device config file this value is never used.

➢ EGW IP address of CS1 and EGW IP address of CS2 are filled for Server1 and Server2 SIP address in
configuration file.

➢ Special keys F1, F2, F3 and F4 are not available for IP DeskPhone Pleiades 86x8 as the special keys
are not available from OXE side ( Ref:CR8770-12210)

12.3 Device Management (DM):


General Information:

➢ Configuration of remote settings feature is now enhanced for 8008, 8018 and 8028s devices along with
8001 devices. Test scenarios are executed with simulated reverse proxy.

12.4 Device Management on OmniPCX Enterprise
Verify default OXE system option 'DM management in 8770' after OXE is upgraded to OXE R100 Purple from M5
or older releases. Following OXE upgrade, if default option is false, then if OmniVista 8770 is upgraded to
R5.0, during daily job synchronization, migration of DM to OXE will happen, and all non-supported '8770 DM'
devices will be removed along with profiles declared in OmniVista 8770 and binary packages

Migration of DM from OmniVista 8770 to OXE

Though not recommended, support for migration of DM from OmniVista 8770 to OXE is possible.

All '8770 DM' devices are deleted and All 'OXE DM' devices are replaced with a limited schema and configuration
files are removed.

Restriction:

➢ Following the DM migration to OXE, '8770 DM' device 8012 deskphone (which were created when 8770
was DM Master) IS NOT REMOVED. other '8770 DM' device like 8001 and 8002 are removed.
Following DM migration to OXE, 8012 device seems to be seen like a 'OXE DM device' and shown with
'OXE DM' device schema.
Device Profile name still shows the '8012 Telnet enable' which was created when 8770 was DM.
Note: In the 'parameters tab' all the '8770 DM' profiles are REMOVED following migration to OXE DM.
config file location in 8770 - 8012 device config file NOT REMOVED and 8082 device xml.

Warning
Revert to OmniVista 8770 DM management is not possible. An OmniVista 8770 backup is advised before
activating this feature.

To secure and to avoid the removal of all configuration files on OmniVista 8770 DM side due to disabling this
parameter by mistake, OmniVista 8770 R5.0 MD1 introduces a security with an additional “Device Management
in OmniVista 8770” parameter on OmniVista 8770 side.

SIP VoIP Ticket collection Enable:

Starting since OXE N1 and 8770 5.0, possible to enable SIP terminals to publish the SIP Tickets. With DM on
8770, This option could be enabled in 8770 using device profiles / devices menu directly.

General info: New hourly polling job is introduced since 5.0.23 package to poll hourly VOIP data from OXE N1
node. This Job is in disable state by default.

Restriction:

➢ SIP VoIP Ticket collector Enable was not possible through the OmniVista 8770 DM \ Parameters\
profiles.

12.5 OpenTouch Configuration
General Information:

➢ ACU_OPENTOUCH user’s creation is forbidden in OpenTouch, but the create option is still available
from OT configuration (as OT 18 data models are still supporting create operation). So, the creation
fails with valid error message.

➢ The OpenTouch node number entered during the OpenTouch declaration should be a numeric value.
Otherwise the topology synchronization with the Performance application fails.

➢ Templates Tab is changed to Profiles in OpenTouch Configuration object tree.

➢ During user creation, the TUI password should not be trivial for security reason. It should not be cyclic,
a repetition, increasing or decreasing.
services -> Security -> Password Management -> Allow trivial TUI, checks this attribute to allow
trivial values to be used for TUI password. Uncheck this attribute doesn’t permit using trivial value
for TUI password.

➢ For OTVM- Automatic creation of persons in directory is applicable only for OmniPCX Enterprise with
OTVM users.

➢ The connect operation of OpenTouch from OmniVista 8770 will not work with the root user and
password. The maintenance credentials should be used for login.

➢ While configuring OpenTouch server, if ERROR_REMOTE_EXCEPTION error occurs then check


following:
- Add the OT FQDN in the OmniVista 8770 server Windows hosts file
- Restart the Wildfly service

➢ A new tab ‘feature’ is available for OT nodes which have the version greater than OT R 2.1. Tree
will be segregated according to Tasks.

➢ New mass provisioning rules are implemented, to make ease of export/import operations.
Improvements include:

• Import/export with minimum set of attributes


• New enhanced template
• ‘Action’ attribute in first column, ‘displayname attribute’ in second column
• No reference to internal OT id

12.6 OpenTouch/ OmniPCX Enterprise Synchronization


➢ User’s name for template management should be filled in the connectivity tab to get the templates
during synchronization.

➢ After declaration of the OmniPCX Enterprise node, the OmniPCX Enterprise Complete Global
synchronization will not synchronize associated to an OpenTouch node. The OpenTouch node should
be synchronized first.

OmniVista 8770 - Release 5.1 - Installation Procedure for version 5.1.16.01.a TC 3064 ed. 02
© Copyright 2023 ALE International, ALE USA page 47/70
➢ TUI voice mail should be declared in both OmniPCX Enterprise and OpenTouch for successful complete
global synchronization.

Restriction:

➢ DM master status not present in scheduler during synchronization. Refer CR8770-12774

12.7 Performance Application


Restrictions:

➢ The polling fails on one OXE when 2 OXEs are configured in SNMP V3. Refer to CR8770-12074.
➢ The SNMP polling is not fully compatible with OXE configured in spatial redundancy: the polling is not
happening when the CS having the role main IP address declared in the first position in the "IP address"
attribute (in the OXE node parameters) is the standby CPU. Refer to CR8770-12080

12.8 Audit
➢ After enabling the Global flag for audit process, the OmniVista 8770 client needs to be restarted to get
the information of OmniVista 8770 login/logout

➢ Audit detailed system records will not be displayed in OmniVista 8770 with OmniPCX Enterprise releases
≥ M1
Refer to CR8770-6606: 8770 R3.2.08.04: Audit system details are not available in audit application for
OmniPCX Enterprise>=OXE 12.

Restriction:
From the OXE release R12 (M1.403), detailed information about “LOGIN” action are not available
Option “more detail” = no, must be selected
Reason: In the OXE release R12, a new package has been deployed (due to a vulnerability issue) on OXE.
This new package does not update the “auth.log” file with the PPID.
So, the detailed information presents in the “shell.log” file cannot be displayed anymore

12.9 Alarms/topology

Restrictions:
- OpenTouch Alarms will not be received if two OpenTouch servers have the same username but different
parameters (like encryption password, passphrase, etc..). To receive the OpenTouch alarms from all the
declared OpenTouch nodes, there are two possible configurations:
• 1st option: use the same SNMP v3 username and the same associated parameters (security level,
user password, passphrase, …) for all the OpenTouch nodes
• 2nd option: use a different SNMP v3 username for each OpenTouch node

- Topology: Dashed Line style between two network elements will be supported with IE version 11 and
above.

- From 8770 R5.1, the server uses the 8443 port with https for the Alarms/Topology application.
As a result, « In the thick client, when opening the Alarms or Topology module for the first time, there
is a Security alert pop-up. This is the normal behavior with an autogenerated OmniVista 8770 server
certificate (case of the default installation) or an OmniVista 8770 server certificate signed by a private
CA not known to Windows. In this case, they must accept the security alert pop up.

This pop-up will disappear by importing the root certificate in the Windows trust store (Internet
options) of the client machine. If a custom certificate signed by a public certification authority known
to Windows has been installed, the message will not appear, because the root certificate of this
certification authority is already in the Windows trust store.

- The 8770 thick client is running over a Windows OS where internet options support TLS up to TLSv1.2
only,
TLSv1.3 cannot be enabled for https (port 8443) in ToolsOmniVista (the best possible TLS version is
TLSv1.2).
If ever TLSv1.3 is enabled in ToolsOmniVista,
there will be an error when starting the Topology app and the only way to solve that issue is to
revert to TLSv1.2 in ToolsOmniVista
(or update the client OS to an OS supporting TLSv1.3 or install some Windows updates).
Ex : the first versions of Windows 10 (idem Windows 2016, 2019) don’t support TLSv1.3.

12.10 OmniPCX Enterprise Object model


General Information

➢ OmniVista 8770 help files are integrated.

➢ OmniPCX Enterprise help files are integrated.

➢ OmniPCX Enterprise Native Encryption feature


The OmniPCX Enterprise Native Encryption feature can be activated only when Native Encryption
license is available on OmniPCX Enterprise side. The feature is not activated by default, it needs to
be modified. Enable automatic CTL Acquisition parameters, set as True, create the CA certificate and

OmniVista 8770 - Release 5.1 - Installation Procedure for version 5.1.16.01.a TC 3064 ed. 02
© Copyright 2023 ALE International, ALE USA page 50/70
define the IP details in lanpbxbuild comment. For more details, refer to the OmniPCX Enterprise
technical documentation.

12.11 OmniPCX Office and OXO Connect Configuration


General Information

➢ The license must be added manually for the OXO version based on the CPU (OmniPCX Office Board)
for major upgrades

➢ OXO Connect and OXO Connect Evolution have separate binaries that need to be considered during
the installation

➢ For OmniPCX Office binary downloads, the LOLA software is not required for OXO connect evaluation,
whereas no change for OXO connect installation

➢ OXO Connect and evaluation Input and Output performed only via OMC. OMC is installed on the local
server where the OmniVista 8770 server is running

➢ OmniPCX Office synchronization restriction: synchronization happens only with single OmniVista 8770
user using permanent IP connectivity alarm reception mode. Multiple Permanent IP connectivity with
multiple OmniVista 8770 user for single OmniPCX Office synchronization is not allowed for OmniPCX
Office

➢ Backup and Restore for OmniPCX Office and OCE are not allowed from configuration. It is part of the
maintenance application

➢ OmniPCX Office backup directory needs to be mounted for configuring OmniPCX Office in
online/offline mode.

➢ OmniPCX Office and OCE alarms are integrated.

Restriction

➢ OXO Cloud Connect alarms are not received.


➢ OmniPCX Office R2.1 Alarms updated for Rainbow not received in OmniVista 8770 Refer: CR8770-7086
/RQOXOC-128
➢ During the first OmniPCX Office and OMC configuration/synchronization, the system must be restarted to
avoid the “OMC Stopping the Management services” failure message in status bar update area.

12.12 MSAD - Active Directory Synchronization and Light Client for User
Provisioning
General Information

➢ MSAD Sync: During the MSAD Access Info Configuration, the entire user Dn (Example:
Cn=ladmin,CN=Users,DC=Company X,DC=com) needs to be entered instead of the username alone.

OmniVista 8770 - Release 5.1 - Installation Procedure for version 5.1.16.01.a TC 3064 ed. 02
© Copyright 2023 ALE International, ALE USA page 51/70
➢ MSAD: Metaprofile list is coming out of the application screen if you double click on it; Refer to CR8770-
7640

➢ AD Web Client: Page refresh not happening after OmniPCX Enterprise/OpenTouch metaprofile selected
from the IE8&9 browser.
Workaround: The Active Scripting needs to be enabled in the IE browser Internet Options

Enable the Active Scripting as follows:


Open Internet Explorer, click the "Tool" button in the menu bar, select the "Internet
Options” “Security” tab
To enable JavaScript for all sites:
Select the "Internet" area, select "Custom Level" and "Security Settings - Internet Zone" box gets
launched.
Enable "Active Scripting" under the “Scripting” section and then click the OK button to apply the
settings. Restart your browser when finished to apply the settings and enable JavaScript.

➢ MSAD Client: OmniVista 8770 Administrator is not allowed to change the default password assigned to the
MSAD8770Admin account. Changing the password will make AD Client inoperable.
Workaround: If MSAD Admin password is changed then restart the Wildfly service in OmniVista 8770
server.

12.13 SNMP Proxy


➢ After OmniVista 8770 Install/upgrade, enable Windows SNMP service and then perform OmniVista 8770
SNMP Proxy configuration from ToolsOmniVista.

➢ If Windows SNMP service is already installed, then OmniVista 8770 SNMP Proxy configuration must be done
after installation/upgrade from ToolsOmniVista.

➢ External tools like TrapReceiver and iReasoning MIB Browser should not be installed to receive the traps
on the OmniVista 8770 server side. It is better to install them in the client side machines.
These tools by default take the port number 162, and due to this, OmniVista 8770 will not receive OpenTouch
Alarms due to port conflict.

12.14 CITRIX Presentation server


To run multiple OmniVista 8770 clients in Citrix presentation server, the minimum requirement is 8GB RAM;
if the available RAM is less than 8GB, the OmniVista 8770 GUI will not perform as expected.

12.15 OmniVista 8770 UTF8 Characters in Web Directory


The requirement addresses the need for a full UTF8 support in all applications for users names and first names.
The objective is to manage users names/first names in UTF8 characters in the whole OmniVista 8770
management platform and all the connected elements (OmniPCX Enterprise/OpenTouch). Same thing for
import/export with an external corporate directory, from the different OmniVista 8770 applications, Users,
Directory, web directory.

OmniVista 8770 - Release 5.1 - Installation Procedure for version 5.1.16.01.a TC 3064 ed. 02
© Copyright 2023 ALE International, ALE USA page 52/70
The requirement is driven by the capability of the UA/NOE devices to display non ASCII characters, and the
OmniPCX Enterprise management restrictions where the OXE User attributes vary from Directory name and
firstname to UTF8 name and firstname depending on the character set used for the name/firstname.

In OmniVista 8770 and OpenTouch, priority is given to UTF8 names, meaning UTF8 names are used preferably
in all Directory-based applications.

12.16 SECURITY: PKI


From this version, PKI application has been removed.

© Copyright 2023 ALE International, ALE USA page 53/70
12.17 SECURITY: POODLE Vulnerability
SSL v3 is now replaced by TLS for encryption for this POODLE vulnerability. Earlier components which were
using SSLv3 like LDAPS, WebClient, WebDirectory will now be using TLS for encryption.
A menu item is added in ToolsOmniVista to enable/disable SSLv3. If SSLv3 is disable, then TLS is enabled.

12.18 SECURITY: SHA2 conformity


SHA2 certificates are installed by default during OmniVista 8770 new installations.

For OmniVista 8770 upgrades from R2.6, only SHA1 certificates are available. If the administrator wants to
migrate to SHA2, he should use toolsOmniVista.exe.

12.19 8082 MyIC Phone on OmniPCX Enterprise and https requests


Http requests from 8082 MyIC Phone to OmniVista 8770 server are no more supported from OmniVista 8770
R2.6.7.8.
Https requests are now mandatory. The OmniVista 8770 server is checking the device certificate at each file
downloading request.

Warning A particular care must be taken before doing an upgrade to R3.1: Make sure the devices are doing https
requests and not http.

Refer to KCS article “000040438 : 8770- Directory client consultation via WEB : Invalid certificate.”

12.20 VoIP quality supervision


The Performance application based on a VitalSuite module has been removed from the product as of 2.5
release. The reports and data from this application are no more available after an upgrade to R2.5 and next
releases, so they must be generated and exported before the upgrade.
The VoIP quality supervision is now managed through predefined reports definitions, included in the Reports
application.
The VoIP reports are available for OmniPCX Office, OXO Connect and OmniPCX Enterprise R≥ 8.0.

© Copyright 2023 ALE International, ALE USA page 54/70
12.21 USERS application
Users creations fail when the Entity 1 does not exist on the OmniPCX Enterprise.
The reason is that the user creation by profile is failing in this case. The system tries first to create the user,
using the default parameters (including missing entity 1) before applying the profile’s parameters.

12.22 Upgrade

Warning Case of an upgrade with a local client already started: it is mandatory to check that all the clients are
stopped before upgrading.

Recommendation: if possible, reboot the server before upgrading.

12.23 Web Based Management

➢ The OmniVista 8770 WBM Client is focused on the Users provisioning, including mass provisioning,
customized views for different administrators and domain Management, OmniPCX Enterprise Configuration
and performance dashboard.

12.28 Device Management (DM)

Migrating DM from OXE to OmniVista 8770:

Though migrating the DM back from OXE to OmniVista 8770 is not recommended, if the administrator
wishes to roll back, below steps can be helpful.

• Initial condition: Device management is on OXE side. And OmniVista 8770 device application
shows only 'OXE DM' entries with restricted schema.
• In OXE: : mgr\System\Other System Param\System parameters \'Device Management In 8770’
– Enable Boolean
• From OmniVista 8770 configuration application, perform complete synchronization of OXE
node. This step ensures rolling back device management to OmniVista 8770.
• From the exported backup file’s copy, remove the OTCPC entry line items, for the rest of the
devices, set the action to Delete.
• From Device management application, import this backup file. (This step will perform clean
up activity for the existing OmniVista 8770 device data for 80x8s devices, and ignore any
specific errors related to OTCPC in scheduler logs)

OmniVista 8770 - Release 5.1 - Installation Procedure for version 5.1.16.01.a TC 3064 ed. 02
© Copyright 2023 ALE International, ALE USA page 60/70
• From the exported backup file’s copy, set the action to Add for all entries and reimport from
device application. Verify all the Devices are imported successfully and could be seen in the
device application.
• Perform the OXE global synchronization to regenerate the configuration files in OmniVista
8770.
• Note: ALES Desktop, ALES Mobile and Other SIP Extensions with OXE supported device types
(80x8s, ALE-2) devices which are directly created in OXE node will be still shown in devices
application with limited schema. If the administrator tries deleting such devices from the
OXE Device management application, Set’s subtype will be changed to Default in SIP
parameters in OXE (device type will be lost and it is not recommended.)

Note ALES Desktop and ALES Mobile devices export is not possible from OmniVista 8770 device management, as
these devices are managed by OXE DM.

Restriction:
CR8770-12425: DM on OXE, config files are still present in 8770

12.29 Purple on Demand subscription OmniVista8770 (OPEX)

➢ OXE Purple offer-LMS - OPEX OXE - LMS error & restrictions (recovery period etc, alarms) are still in

ANNEX A: Upgrade to OmniVista 8770 5.0.24.00
According to the technical alert resolution TC2952en-Ed03 on MariaDb issue in 5.0.22 and 5.0.23 a, this Annex
helps upgrading the OmniVista 8770 to the 5.0.24.00

1 End customers in R4.2 version

If end customers are in R4.2(Ex: 4.2.16.00) version and they are upgrading to R5.0 (5.0.24.00) release for
the first time, follow regular upgrade procedures as per the installation manual from 4.2.16.00 to 5.0.24.00

2 End customers already in R5.0 facing MariaDb issue

If end customers are already upgraded to R5.0 ( 5.0.22.00.a) release from 4.2.16.0 and faced
mysql/mariadb issue or encountered upgrade failure, then revert to 4.2.16.0 version, and upgrade
OmniVista 8770 to 5.0.24.00

3 End customers already in R5.0 haven’t any MariaDb issue

If customers are in R5.0 (5.0.22.00.a or 5.23.00.a ) and haven’t faced any MySQL/MariaDB issue, then follow
below procedure to upgrade to 5.0.24.00 :

Note Before to start the OmniVista 8770 upgrades, Administrator must manually Uninstall the MariaDB

Why do we need to remove MariaDB with Manual procedures?


Since we are downgrading the MariaDB version from 10.5.12/10.5.9 to 10.5.5 while you upgrade to
5.0.24.00
(Actually the earlier version of 8770 [less than 5.0.23.00.b] has the higher MariaDB version so we need
to remove the higher MariaDB version before you upgrade to 5.0.24.00 version since 5.0.24.00 has
MariaDB 10.5.5)

a) Stop MySQL Service from services.msc

b) From control panel, remove MariaDB 10.5.12 (or 10.5.9) version.
