That is indeed sad news and quite frankly unacceptable. This is not how you treat customers if you have any intention to keep them as customers.

[JamesHawkins]

Just found this thread after trying to use the tool and agree 100% with Roger's statement.

Cisco are removing tools like this and the Virtual Machine Placement Tool which make it harder and harder to design and deploy collab solutions. A few weeks ago I spend hours just trying to find out hardware specs for a BE7000H M6 server.

Now I have no way of testing SIP profiles apart from changing them in a live environment. Incredibly poor that these tools are being taken away from the partners that are still trying to champion Cisco collab.

[Ahmed Khalefa]

Worst decision ever made by the reputable company !

It is a huge disappointment to hear that the SIP Profile Tester Tool cannot be used by customers anymore.

It was extremely useful to test custom sip headers without the need to make test calls all the time.

I would appreciate it, if the SIP Profile Tester Tool would be integrated into the IOS-XE image at least, in the same manner as the "test voice translation-rule" feature is available in the IOS-XE image.

As a result, Cisco doesn't need to maintain a separate webpage anymore, and customers still can make use of it on the command line out of the box.

Win-Win

Best regards,
Georg

is there another tool others are using or just live testing in an environment?  I searched and searched and can't seem to find anything, figured I'd ask.

@GeorgMa, probably best to raise the suggestion with a Cisco account rep.

I don't believe these Community forums are actually monitored by Cisco and the OP is probably no longer around.
