Question: What is the quickest way to start developing custom scripts?

Answer: Starting with Cisco Unity Express Release 3.2, we have introduced script editor in the CUE Administration GUI. Go to System > Scripts > New. See this link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity_exp/rel3_2/administrator/gui/edit_exp.html

For all versions, here is a quick start guide for creating custom scripts: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/sw/voicesw/ps5520/products_tech_note09186a008041d950.shtml

Question: Where can I download an editor installer for my Cisco Unity Express version and sample scripts?

Answer: Download the appropriate Cisco Unity Express Custom Script Editor from Cisco's web site at: http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/go/Redirect.x?mdfid=278535672

Choose the appropriate Cisco Unity Express version that you are running.

Once you are on the appropriate Cisco Unity Express version software page, download the editor and sample scripts.

• Click Utilities to download the Cisco Unity Express editor and install it on a windows PC.

Question: How can I capture debug traces/logs when my script is not working as designed?

Answer: Use one of the following methods.

Method 1:

1. Make sure the system is idle.
2. Run "clear trace" on Cisco Unity Express.
3. Run "show trace buffer tail" on Cisco Unity Express.
4. Make the simplest call to demonstrate your problem.
5. Wait until the logs stop scrolling. This may take 3 to 5 minutes.
6. Press CTRL-C to exit.
7. Send the logs for the failure case to Cisco.

Method 2: You will need a FTP server.

1. Make sure the system is idle.

3. Run “log trace buffer save” on Cisco Unity Express.
4. Run “copy log atrace_save.log url ftp://x.x.x.x/....”
5. Send the file to Cisco.

Question: How can I record, add, modify, or delete various prompts?

Answer: You can assign a number to the AvT application (in the GUI, go to Voicemail > Call Handling), and record prompts by dialing into the system. You can find documentation at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity_exp/rel3_2/administrator/voicemail/4AvT.html

Question: I am having problems installing or running the Cisco Unity Express editor on Windows XP.

Answer: If you are having problems with the installation, check the install .log file at c:\.

Some other suggestions to follow:

• Uninstall the editor from your machine.
• Remove MSJVM using any suitable tool like http://www.mvps.org/marksxp/Downloads/WinXP/Java/unmsjvm.exe
• Install the editor again.

If the problem persists, do the following:

• Run the editor with the -debug flag. A console window will appear. Send the traces that appeare on this console to Cisco.
• Also send the installation log which is located under c:\CiscoInstall.log to Cisco.

Question: I have Windows 7 and the editor installer does not support it.

Answer: Windows 7 provides a way to run Windows XP on it. The procedure is outlined at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/install-and-use-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7. Once Windows XP starts running, you may proceed to install and use Cisco Unity Express editor on it.

Question: I want my script to use dial-by-first name instead.

Answer: It is possible within every new or existing script. If you are using Editor Express then following figure shows the option to switch to dial-by-first name.

Question: I want to create a CME TCL script to perform functions like call queuing, hunt groups and music on hold.
