The utilisation of wrangler_ for transitioning HCS or on-premise customers to Webex Calling is widely acknowledged. However, the potential of wrangler_ extends beyond mere like-for-like user and configuration migration.

In this article, we delve into the versatile capabilities of wrangler_ that address intricate customer demands. These include:

Automated testing for WxC-MT helps ensure that the system functions as expected, that the transition from one system to another is smooth, and that any potential issues are identified early and addressed promptly. This can significantly reduce the likelihood of downtime, dropped calls, or poor call quality.

Wrangler_ will in the near future support Webex Calling Multi Tenant (WxC-MT) in addition to Webex Calling Dedicated Instance (WxC-DI), this new migration path streamlines the complex task of converting data from disparate systems. The Migration process specifically caters to the intricate nature of configurations in platform Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM).

this article, we will delve deeper into how Testmate facilitates migration to WxC-DI testing, particularly focusing on dial plan testing, system acceptance testing, and post-change verification.

explore how to leverage Wrangler's advanced capabilities for cluster consolidation and phased migration

The Map migration mode is ideal for scenarios where significant transformation of dial plan or other configuration. It allows users to replace any configuration and or consolidate sites.

This part focuses on the "like for like" migration to Webex Calling Dedicated Instance (WxC-DI) using wrangler_clone. As the name suggests, this feature enables us to create an copy of the source cluster in the target environment, with only the minumum number of mandatory target mapping, simplifying the migration process and minimizing the risks associated with it.

Wrangler_ takes the baton and works its magic in the migration process. This powerful tool offers unique features that streamline and automate the migration process, making it quicker, more accurate, and less error-prone.

In the first stage of the migration process, we will focus on assessment and planning using pre_yarn. This involves capturing the current state of the system, including all configurations, dependencies, and potential challenges. We'll discuss how to use pre_yarn's features to analyze existing configurations, identify potential obstacles, and plan the best migration strategy.

In this series we dive deep into the process of building a Webex Calling Migration Factory for a partner. We provide valuable insights, share proven best practices, and discuss the cutting-edge tools that can make your migration journey as smooth as possible.
