Resolving Hunt Group Sync Discrepancies

To resolve out-of-sync Hunt Group data, CAIRS offers an import function that brings in the hunt group records from the switch into the CAIRS database.

  1. Click the System Admin
  2. In the Navigation pane, click the plus sign (+) next to Data Sync Center to expand the menu items.
  3. Click EWSD Switch Sync Project.

  8. To resolve all discrepancies at once and import all out-of-sync set devices into CAIRS, click the lower portion of the Out of Sync button to access a dropdown list. From the list select Import All.
  9. To resolve an individual record, double-click a record to review. The Switch Sync window opens displaying two panes.
    • CAIRS Data pane – displays the multiline hunt group details if the record is in the CAIRS database and not in the switch.
    • Switch Data pane – displays the multiline hunt group details if the record is in the switch and not in cair.net.
  1. If the information populates within the CAIRS pane, the group exists within the CAIRS database and not the switch. You can delete the group from CAIRS by clicking the Delete button within the Switch Sync Import pop-up. There is no undo button so once you click Delete the information is gone.
  2. If the information populates within the switch pane, the group exists within the switch but not the CAIRS database. You can import the individual groups by clicking the Import button within the Switch Sync Import pop-up.
  3. To exit, click Close.
