/mcpPartition Support Prior to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 5.0, JTAPI did not support partitions. JTAPI considered addresses with the same DN, but different partitions, as same address. It created only one Address object for such cases because addresses are identified only by their DN and not by their partition information. Beginning with Release 5.0, JTAPI supports addresses that have the same DN but belong to different partitions and treats them as different addresses. Partition information of the addresses is exposed to applications through the methods specified below. Applications that want to make use of this partition support feature must use the API provided to them through JTAPI interfaces and use the address objects accordingly. This feature is backward compatible. JTAPI supports the current APIs that are used to open and access address objects. In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 5.0, JTAPI is partition aware, and the following configurations are supported. • Addresses with the same DN, in the same partition, and in different devices get treated as shared lines. • The system does not allow addresses with the same DN, in the same partition and in the same device. • Addresses with the same DN, in different partitions, and in the same device get treated as different addresses. Two address objects get created for this scenario, and the application can distinguish between the two by calling the getPartition() API on the address objects. • Addresses with the same DN, in different partitions, and in different devices get treated as different addresses. Two address objects get created for this scenario and the application can distinguish between the two by calling the getPartition() API on the address objects. Partition support changes in JTAPI are confined to the address objects and do not affect any other functions or classes of JTAPI. The following sections specify the interface changes. CiscoAddress Interface A new method is provided in this class with the following signature. string getPartition () Returns the partition string of the address object. Applications need to use this method to get the partition information. JTAPI uses this partition information to distinguish between addresses that have the same DN but belong to different partitions and sends the partition information to open the specific addresses. For example, a provider open returns two addresses, A(1000, P1) and B (1000, P2), where A and B denote the address objects, 1000 denotes the DN of the address objects, and P1, P2 indicate the partitions to which the addresses belong.
