Saving a series with instances in the past
It is now possible to save a meeting series that originated with a Cisco TMSBA client, where one or more
instances occurred in the past.
instances occurred in the past.
New recurrence pattern
Monthly recurrence at a given day of the month is now supported.
Support for series where all instances are exceptions
Making a meeting series consisting only of exceptions from the original recurrence pattern is now supported.
External Primary Key now used to uniquely identify a conference
The SaveConference function now uses ExternalPrimaryKey, if present, as the primary identifier for API-
scheduled conferences, and treats it as a unique value. When the ExternalPrimaryKey is present, matches
on ExternalPrimaryKey will take precedence over matching on ConferenceID in Cisco TMSBA functions for
querying and saving conferences. As of 14.4, saving a conference with an existing ExternalPrimaryKey will
therefore overwrite the existing conference. This change impacts all Cisco TMSBA versions.

Changed in 14.3.2
TelePresence Server communication
Cisco TMS now keeps track of the protocol a TelePresence Server is using to communicate. Previously
Cisco TMS always attempted to communicate with a TelePresence Server over HTTPS regardless of
whether the last successful connection had fallen back to HTTP or not. TelePresence Servers
communicating using HTTP will experience a significant improvement in performance as a result of this
change.

Escalation of conferences to TelePresence Server
Adding a multiscreen participant to an existing conference that was booked by adding an MCU manually now
reroutes the conference onto a TelePresence Server to accommodate the multiscreen participant.
