Using the Feature Extraction tool
(for upgrades from pre-R10 only)
Use the Feature Extraction tool (FET) to capture (inventory) the customer options and other data from
pre-R10 DEFINITY server switches. You must do this before a valid license can be created.
FET produces an output file which is used by the Remote Feature Activation (RFA) to populate the
system record with existing feature settings to support an upgrade to R10 or higher. This file containing
existing switch configuration and the SAP order for the R10 or higher upgrade information together
produces a valid license.
— If the switch has been upgraded to R10 or higher, do not use FET.
— Only a single FET output file can be imported for an individual system record.
— FET supports V4 to R9 DEFINITY server releases.
— Use the FET only when RFA cannot contact the switch remotely. Any
customer may use this tool to capture their switch configuration and email the
output file to the account team for the completion of a license.
The FET and instruction on how to use it are available at:
http://www.avaya.com/services/rfa.
Here is a summary of the steps to use FET:
1 Begin a transaction record in RFA.
2 Capture the transaction record.
3 Open and run FET.
4 Input transaction record #.
5 Store encrypted file produced by FET in local PC.
6 Go to RFA and complete your transaction record in order to create a license.
