Changed in 14.4.2
Summary of the release
14.4.2 was a maintenance release addressing an issue with duplicate external primary keys, affecting
customers using Cisco TMS Booking API (Cisco TMSBA) clients such as Cisco TMSXE and Cisco
TMSXN. This issue was found in Cisco TMS versions 14.4 and 14.4.1 and causes problems replicating
bookings from Cisco TMS to Microsoft Exchange or IBM Domino.

bookings from Cisco TMS to Microsoft Exchange or IBM Domino.
Technical description of external primary key issue: CSCup76424
In Cisco TMS 14.4 and 14.4.1, Cisco TMS assumes that every conference has a unique ExternalPrimaryKey
value. Under certain conditions, earlier versions of Cisco TMS allowed multiple meetings to share the same
key, and the 14.4 and 14.4.1 upgrade scripts failed to de-duplicate these keys.
value. Under certain conditions, earlier versions of Cisco TMS allowed multiple meetings to share the same
key, and the 14.4 and 14.4.1 upgrade scripts failed to de-duplicate these keys.
Cisco TMSBA clients such as Cisco TMSXE use the ExternalPrimaryKey to retrieve conferences from
Cisco TMS, always expecting to get the same conference when a specific ExternalPrimaryKey is provided
to Cisco TMSBA. If conference A and conference B have the same ExternalPrimaryKey value in the tmsng
database, Cisco TMSBA could return data belonging to conference A when Cisco TMSXE asks for
conference B, and vice versa. If this happens to Cisco TMSXE, the Cisco TMSXE replicator could
permanently delete data from Microsoft Exchange based upon incorrect data returned from Cisco TMSBA.

Versions of Cisco TMS prior to 14.4 do not rely upon the ExternalPrimaryKey being unique, and are not at risk
of data corruption unless upgraded to 14.4 or 14.4.1.

Similar mechanisms are used for synchronization with Cisco TMSXN, so some conferences in IBM Domino
deployments may also be affected by this issue.
