Can't Set SMTP Notification Device Footer Text Through CUPI API

Hi all,

We are running Cisco Unity Connection 8.6.2ES25.21900-25 and are attempting to do some bulk updates via the CUPI API. We're running into an issue where we believe we should be able to set the SMTP Notification Device Footer Text based on the documentation, but we're not able to.

Here's the

documentation that we're looking at: http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Unity_Connection_Provisioning_Interface_%28CUPI%29_API_--_User_Notification_Devices_API#SMTP_Device.

Here's the request that we're sending for the update:

It doesn't look like <HeaderText> and <FooterText> can actually be set.

Is this not available to be updated through CUPI in 8.6?

he schema is embedded in Connection API - you can check using a URL like this:

https://MyConnectionServer.lindborglabs.org/vmrest/schema

go to the SMTPDevice section and look - on my 10.0 and 10.5 servers I have up testing on now the footer text is there - I suspect if you look on the older 8.6 server (I don't have one handy) it wont be there.

The wiki doesn't list each version each property/object was added to the REST API but changes to REST (and the underlying DB changes for those in many cases) do not get ported back to all versions of course.  When in doubt check the schema tables.

That's useful.

Yeah, so, it's not in there. I take it then, that there's no way of updating that through CUPI, correct? I know that we can bulk update it through the Bulk Update utilities, if nothing else.

Thanks!
