Initial administration checklist for application roles

Use the following checklist as a guide for setting up application roles for the first time. In large organizations with specialized administration roles, the Messaging administrator typically completes these tasks.

Because you must ensure that all application roles that support a specific site are identical, back up the first application server after you finish the administration tasks in this chapter. Then use the restore procedure to load the backed-up data set on to subsequent application servers. Note that:
  • You can restore data sets only to application servers that support the same site.

  • You must integrate each application server with the telephony server individually. The settings on the Telephony Integration Web page are not captured by the backup routine.

Perform the following tasks:
