Hi Anthony,
Thanks for the question.
This is an interesting requirement, since the UCCX trigger's configuration is translated only to the Call Forward Busy External setting on the CUCM.

As you would aready know, the UCCX will send an AXL request (within the SOAP envelope) to the CUCM to create this RP. Looking at the existing code, there does not seem to be a method where we are differentiating between CFB_internal and CFB_external while sending this request.
We have taken this as an enhancement request and also spoken to the business unit about the same. It has been added to the roadmap, we will reach out to you offline to understand the business case so that the process can be expedited if needed.
Keep the questions coming
Cheers,
Abhiram Kramadhati

    Hi Anurag,
    Thanks for your questions.
    1:Is there change in DB architecture as CUIC is the only option as compared to previous linux version UCCX ?
    I assume this is from the tables regarding historical data. The database schema essentially remains the same since UCCX 9.0 had CUIC too and we had a seperate DB Space for CUIC and we still continue with that. The traditional historical tables remain and the replication process remains the same too.
    2:Is there any version change for Linux OS used as VOS,
    The Linux version is Red Hat Linux 5. To be precise:
    [root@uccx10pub /]# cat etc/redhat-release
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7 (Tikanga)
    3:Is there any API architecture change in UCCX 10 from previous releases ?
    I can answer this more of an overview. The only enhancement in the API side is the introduction of REST API step in the script editor. You can now make REST calls from the script and this ofcourse opens up a whole new world of possiblities.
    4:Since from UCCX 10 , we can only use either CAD or Finnesse at one  time, whats the impact of changing this after some time in production,  let say , i used CAD for 2 months and then i decided to move to Finesse,  whats the impact ? or is it a smooth change as switching CUIC and HRC  in previoius release ?
    For the scenario you mentioned, there is absolutely no problem. The point to note is that the Finesse services are activated/deactivated but the CAD desktop services are ALWAYS running. The only condition to keep in mind is that you can use ONLY ONE type of agent desktop at any time.  Also if Finesse is not used and CAD operations are used extensively, it is advisable to shutdown the Finesse service.
    5:Is 3rd Party UCS hardware supported by UCCX 10 instead of using Cisco manufactured UCS , can i use HP hardware for Virtualisation ?
    Yes, it can be used. This is something called as "Third party specs based specification". The most important things seen for compatibility are:
    Inter CPU Model
    It it is on thVMWare Hardware Compatibilty List
    You can get more information about this on the "Can I use this server?" section of UC Virtualized Hardware page:
    http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/UC_Virtualization_Supported_Hardware#.22Can_I_use_this_server.3F.22
    6:Is Host name change supported?
    Yes, the hostname change is supported. The prcocedure is documented in the UCCX 10.0 Administration Guide:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_10_0/configuration/guide/UCCX_BK_W1AF9DDD_00_uccx-admin-guide-10.0.pdf (Pg 168)

  • CISCO UNIFIED CONTACT CENTER EXPRESS - ORACLE WEB SERVICES

    We need to access to an Oracle database information through Web Services, in a system witch Cisco Unified Contact Center Express 8.5.
    Is there any way to do this? Thank you!

    Hi Alicia,
    Incase you are planning to obtain real time stats from the CRA_DB which is the UCCX db, this can be done via the use of a wallboard.
    -This displays the data such as
    available agents in CSQs, call volumes, talk times, wait times, and number of handled calls. You can enable the Unified CCX system to write Unified CCX real-time information to a database that can then be displayed on a wallboard.
    -Not sure if this is what you are looking for, let me know, thanks

  • CISCO UNIFIED CONTACT CENTER EXPRESS - ANSWERING TEMPLATES

    It is possible in Cisco Unified Contact Center Express 8.5, Premium, to configure some templates for mail / SMS / chat answers, so all agents can serve customers in a predefined style?

    If you are referring CAD Agent EMails you can check the section "configuring Templates" in the link below

    Hello Krzysztof,
    Another set of good/interesting questions posted. Thanks! 
    I will try to clarify your doubts.
    In the output below both resources (proxy-connections and ssl-connections rate) are configured with a min percentage of resources (column Min), while 'Max' is set to equal to the min.
    ACE/Context# show resource usage
                                                         Allocation
            Resource         Current       Peak        Min        Max       Denied
    -- outputs omitted for brevity --
      proxy-connections             0      16358      16358      16358      17872
      ssl-connections rate          0        626        626        626      23204
    Most columns are self explanatory, 'Current' is current usage, 'Peak' is the maximum value reached, and the most important counter to monitor 'Denied' represents the amount of packets denied/dropped due to exceeding the configured limits.
    On the resources themselves, Proxy-connections is simply the amount of proxied connections, in other words all connections handled at layer 7 (SSL connections are proxied, as are any connections with layer 7 load balance policies, or inspection).
    So in this particular case for the proxy-connections we see that Peak is equal to the Max allocated, and as we have denies we can conclude that you have surpassed the limits for this resource. We see there were 17872 connections dropped due to that.
    ssl-connections rate should be read in the same manner, however all values for this resource are in bytes/s, except for Denied counter, that is simply the amount of packets that were dropped due to exceeding this resource. 
    For your particular tests you have allocated a min percentage and set max equal to min, this way you make sure that this context will not use any other additional resources.
    If you had set the max to unlimited during resource allocation, ACE would be allowed to use additional resources on top of those guaranteed, if those resources were available.
    This might sound a great idea, but resource planning on ACE should be done carefully to avoid any sort of oversubscription, specially if you have business critical contexts.
    We have a good reference for ACE resource planning that contains also description of all resources (this will help to understand the output better):
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/services_modules/ace/v3.00_A2/configuration/virtualization/guide/config.html#wp1008224
    1) When a resource is utilized to its maximum limit, the ACE denies additional requests made by any context for that resource. In other words, the action is to Drop. ACE  should in theory silently drop (No RST is sent back to the client). So unless we changed something on the code, this is what you should see.
    To give more context, seeing resets with SSL connections is not necessarily synonym of drops. As it is usual to see them during normal transactions.
    For instance Microsoft servers are usually ungracefully terminating SSL connections with RESET. Also when there is renegotiation during an SSL transaction you may see RESETS, but this will pass unnoticed for end users. 
    2)  ACE will simply drop/ignore new connections when we reach the maximum amount of proxied connections for that context. Exisiting connections will continue there.
    As ACE doesn't respond back, client would simply retransmit, and if he is lucky maybe in the next attempt he will be able to establish the connection.
    To overcome the denies, you will definitely have to increase the resource allocation. This of course, assuming you are not reaching any physical limit of the box.
    As mentioned setting max as unlimited might work for you, assuming there are a lot of unused resources on the box.
    3)  If a new connection comes in with a sticky value, that matches the sticky entry of a real server, which is already in MAXCONNS state, then both the ACE module/appliance should reject the connection and that sticky entry would be removed.
    The client would at that point reestablish a new connection and ACE would associate a new sticky entry with the flow for a new RSERVER after the loadbalancing decision.
    I hope this makes things clearer! Uff...
    Regards,
    Telmo

    Hello Nick,
    I appreciate your questions, and will try to answer them below.
    When you are installing a fresh new MeetingPlace 8.5 that you plan to integrate with WebEx, the only available option is WebEx Managed user profiles. With this option, you can either create profiles manually on WebEx side, and then sync them to MeetingPlace, or you can use Federated SSO for import of profiles from LDAP server in your network to WebEx, and then sync the profiles from WebEx to MeetingPlace (you choose one of these two options when provisioning WebEx site).
    These are the only two available options for a NEW install of MP8.5 for WebEx integration, and as you can see both options are WebEx Managed profiles, the only difference is if you are going to use Federated SSO, or create profiles on WebEx manually.
    During the install, you can select to install MeetingPlace managed users option, but you would choose this option only if you plan to do a migration from an earlier MP release (7.x/8.0) with WebEx integration and Directory Integration.
    For example, MeetingPlace managed profiles option is available if you had MeetingPlace 8.0 integrated with WebEx Type II (WebEx scheduling) with Directory Integration, where you had your MP8.0 integrated with CUCM via AXL for user profile management (CUCM integrated with LDAP), and your WebEx Site provisioned for Directory Integration, and then migrate from that system to MeetingPlace 8.5 that you installed selecting MeetingPlace managed user profiles.
    The same goes for MeetingPlace Scheduling (Type I) integration with WebEx. Possible only with migration, and not with a fresh new installation.
    Now, to focus on your questions.
    1. As you can see, you don't have many options. If you have MS Active Directory that you would like to use for SSO in MP8.5 WebEx Scheduling, you will have to go with Federated SSO. So far, I haven't heard of any issues with that as it seems to be pretty straight forward to configure, and also WebEx Support team provides direct support for that setup as it is a direct integration between WebEx Site and the LDAP server (nothing to do with MeetingPlace side of the equation).
    2. In general, if you have Federated SSO enabled, you would go to WebEx site home page, click on Host Log In button which will then ask you to enter your network/windows credentials and place you to WebEx scheduling interface.
    If you have Directory Integration (like on MP8.0 WebEx Type II with CUCM/AXL integration), when you go to WebEx site home page and click Host Log In button, you are being redirected to the MeetingPlace log-in page where you would enter your Windows credentials (assuming your CUCM is integrated with LDAP), and then if log in is successful, you get redirected back to WebEx scheduling interface. With this type of deployment, you can log in to WebEx scheduling interface ONLY if you are connecting from your company network or have a VPN connection to your company network. This is a major limitation that most customers complained about, but the reason for this was that we didn't want to make MP Application server hostname/IP publicly available and hence cause a security issue.
    I am sure I answered your questions, but opened some new questions. So, please, let me know if I need to clarify anything.
    Thank you.

    Maykol,
    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you here.  Currently we are building some documents that clearly describe line by line (well, paragraph by paragraph) what is occurring in the finite state machine and what information is exchanged in the protocol.  The articles have been writtne and are going through internal review before posting to cisco.com.  We should have them out shortly.
    You can enable "debug crypto ikev2", "debug crypto ikev2 packet", and/or "debug crypto ikev2 error" and follow the packet flow.  The debugs themselves have been re-written a couple of times to make the action/work flow more human readable and in plain english.  It should be easier to understand with the later 15.1 - 15.2 code versions.
    The debugs are broken up based on us sending a packet (look for "Tx Packet") and recieving a packet (loof for "Rx Packet").  In addition you can keep track of a single session by looking at the initator and responder (IKEv2) spi.  Those values will never change during the session life time.
    -Jay

  • Cisco Unified Contact Center 8.5. Field report description

    Hi,
    In the Cisco Contact Center reports there are some fields. One of those fields about the telephone calls is "Do not care". What does mean this field? what kind of telephone calls are in this fields?
    Thanks,
    Regards,

    Hi Harrison,
    Thanks for the reply. BTW, this not the answer that i need. If any table have data regarding location/operational area, so i need to know that table, coz i used official database manual too. but there is no such table they mention there. 
    As you said, i checked with the team/skill and resource table, but there is no way to find a location or a operational area.
    Thx

    Hello Robert,
    Apologies for a delayed response, some days get very hectic.
    In CallManager, we only define the SRST reference, and CUCM version and SRST version are independent of each other.
    The only thing, which is related and will change with CUCM upgrade is Phone F/w version.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/compat/ccmcompmatr1.pdf
    You may just want to check your, phone f/w compatibility with the SRST version running on your ISR G1 Gateways:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2169/products_device_support_tables_list.html
    For Example: SRST version 7.1
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6788/vcallcon/ps2169/data_sheet_c78-520521.html
    You may want to do some lab testing with CUCM 9.1 and an SRST supported f/w on your phones.
    If you decide to run the old Phone/F/w to support the SRST version, you may not be able to take advantage of new features.
    Also, you can try and upgrade your phones(Wih CUCM 9.1) and test them with your SRST version.
    It should work fine, but from a troubleshooting perspective, TAC may request you to come into a Cisco Supported combination.
    Please, let me know if this clarifies your doubt or we can have a quick phone call.
    Regards
    Amit Singh
