CAD set agent to ready state on startup?

Hi All,
Is there a way to force the agents to be set in ‘Ready’ when they load CAD? Rather than them having to load CAD then click the icon to make themselves ready?
We are using UCCX 8.5.
Thanks in advance.
Matty

Agent MUST go ready manually for the first time ( post login to CAD ), after that going to ready automatically from not-ready/wrap up can be controlled from workflow.
Pls rate the post if it helps.

Setting agent's default state to Ready in CAD

Hi,
We are using UCCX 7.0 with CAD 6.0. Is it possible to set the default state of the agent to Ready when they login to their CAD.Right now, they go to the default Not Ready state one they login.
Thanks,

Hi
By design CAD agent initial state after login is always not ready and there is no specific setting in uccx were you can change this behanviour.

UCCX 9.0.2 set agent to "Ready" after initial login

I am trying to get agents to go "Ready" automatically after login.
I tried to do a workflow macro in "Agent Managment Workflow" - Start-Up but it doesn't seem to work.

Hi KG,
I personally think that its not good design . but you can check the document for autologout
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/voice-unified-communications/unified-contact-center-express/112113-cda-logout-00.html
This document is for autologout agent in specified time . you can make agent ready just after login
if you select event as login . I have tested and verified this in Lab .

Agent going to ready state after login

Hi guys,
I have UCCX 5.0(2) and I would like to force agent to go to state ready after login. There were some posts on this topic and they suggested to play with workflow:
1. add add action agent ready at startup - for this I get: "Error on Startup Event. Error Message: An Agent State Action may only be used on Answered and Dropped Events."
2. add macro - record putting agent in ready state (keystroke Ctrl +W). This I can do, but agent gets error during login: " Could not execute Macro Action. Unable to playback to windows program."
Did you have similar problems? Did you solve it and how? Or maybe you have some other idea how to force agent to go in ready state after login?

Hi,
Problem An agent using Windows XP was able to start Agent Desktop, but was
not able to enter an active state.
Solution Windows XP can be configured so that the Internet Connection Firewall
(ICF) is active. ICF acts by keeping track of all traffic to and from the
computer; it will only allow information through that has originated from
that particular computer. If a message originates from outside the
computer, it will be discarded.
To solve this problem, either turn off ICF (requires someone with
administrator rights to the computer) or override the defaults to include
known “good” connections like the CAD servers.
And also, is it by any chance happening during a failover or failback scenario in a High Availability (HA) setup?
If its a HA setup, did you install this CAD after the HA setup is made i.e. the CAD has the entries for the ip address of the both the nodes.
Hope it helps,

Difference Between Avail and Ready State

Hi folks,
There are two vaiables in Formula editor's Skillgroup vailables ICM named as Avail and Ready. I want to know what is the difference between Agent Ready State and Agent Available State.
As per my understanding, Agent Available State refere Agent is either in Ready or WrapUp Mode while "Ready" refers only Agent in Ready State. Confirmation Required.
Thanks

Make CAD agents to go ready state upon login

hi all,
hope someone can help. running uccx 8.0. when agents log into CAD, it always put them in not ready state. is there a way to make them go ready right away upon login.
thanks

Hi Vijay,
Agent State Action
An Agent State action enables you to select an agent state to associate with an event.
Agent State actions can be associated only with Answered and Dropped events. The
only valid agent states are Login, Logout, Ready, Not Ready, and Work.
To set up an Agent State action:
1.Set up a new action. See “Adding a New Action” on page 98. The Select Action window appears.
2.Select the Agent State tab, and then click New. The Agent State Action Setup box appears (Figure 49).
3.Enter a name for the action, select the agent state control from the drop-down list, and then click OK
Please refer the CDA guide for more information,

Agent reserved state set to Not Ready

HI
I get this error very randomly on CAD with one agent .

no issue with agent desk settings,device target or with PG user.

UCCX Agent ready state softkey

I was under the understanding that UCCX agents could also sign into the ready state through they're assigned phones ? So far in my reading of documents and such I have yet to see any bit of information for setting up agents without CAD. In many of our situations we would like the agents just to be able to sign into the phone adding them to the rotation for incoming calls.
Does anyone know if this is possible and if so is there a reference in some document outlining it ?
Thank you.

Are you looking to log in agents without using the agent desktop? Check out IPPA (IP Phone Agent). This is a IP Phone service that you assign to the agent phone in call manager.
Set up the agent as normal, then add this service to the phone in call manager:
http://x.x.x.x:6293/ipphone/jsp/sciphonexml/IPAgentInitial.jsp
where x.x.x.x is the ip of your UCCX server.

UCCE 7.5 Set agents back to ready after Rona?

Hi All
Is there any way in UCCE that you can set agents back to ready if they are put to not ready after RONA? I know there is a global option for this in UCCX but not sure about UCCE? They are using CAD 7.5 and UCCE 7.5.
If not any other work around that you may know of?
Thanks,
Matt

The only way I know that you can do it, is to se tthe Agent Desk Setting RONA, 1 seconds HIGHER then the CVP RONA timer.
Therefore is CVP is 15 seconds, set the Agents Desk Settings to 16.
This will prevent the Agent Desk settings from moving the agent to Not Ready.
CVP allows the use of custom RONA timers with SIP, so if its just for a few agents you may need to add specific routes for their extensions with the appropriate CVP RONA timers.
Cheers,
Chad

CAD - login but cannot be in ready state

Hi, I encountered erratic (sometimes it happens sometimes it does not) error with Agents logging into their CAD (UCCX 8.5 Express) but cannot be in Ready state. Error: "Resource Device is Off". "The Agent extension is out of service. Ready state change and call control operations cannot be performed." Looking at the logs it state 32760. What could be causing this intermittent issue?

Hi Cornelio,
Please deassociate the phone\device from this Agent and also from the RmCm application user in CUCM. and again reassocite it back as before. Also try performing the Directory Resync operation from the CDA (Cisco Desktop Administrator) and see if it helps.
You can try restarting the CTI manager service also if the above workaround doesn't help.
Hope it helps.

Agent never Not Ready state

Hi
I have a CUCM 8.5 and UCCX 8.5 workingwithout problems, but now the customer wants his agents never stay in state "Not ready" no matter the event, the agent never can stay in not ready state.
Any idea if i can do this?
Regards

OK - you mean not go automatically into work at the end of the call? Disable 'Automatic Work' on the CSQs in AppAdmin.
If you mean not go automatically into 'not ready' when a call is missed, you can set the 'Agent State after Ring No Answer*' setting to 'Ready', but this is generally a very bad idea.
Aaron

Agent cannot go to ready state after lunch or break without loggin out and back in.

UCCX 8.5
I have a small contact center group. One of the agents I just recently setup is having an issue. She is telling me that when she selects work offline and then goes to lunch or break or something and comes back, it will not let her log back into the ready state. She actually has to log out of Agent and then back in. A screenshot of the error is attached. Any ideas?
Thanks guys.

UCCx 8 Callback when agent is in Ready State

To all,
I am stuck. Here is the basic logic for my callback caller script when agent is in Ready state. After the Get Digit String step, what should I do to terminate the call and keep the script running?
Select Resource (--Triggering Contct--from CSQ)
          Connected
          Queued
               Menu
                    CallbackNumber = Get Digit String (--Triggering Contact--)
                              succesful
                                   If(stat_ReadyResources_OF_CSQ > 0) then
                                            True
                                               outcallToCaller = Place Call (to callbackNumber)
                                                      successful
                                                             Call Redirect (--Triggering Contact--to Overflow Q)
* OverflowQ is another script.
Thanks,
Nelson

Set the contact as still being active, even though no one is there. You will not be able to play any prompts or anything to that contact though, that will result in errors, unless you catch the error. You can of course redirect playback to the contact that you call.
ErrorReason = Get Trigger Info (Aborting Reason)
On Exception (ContactInactiveException) Goto Begin
Delay 2 sec
Accept(--Triggering Contact--)
Delay 4 sec     <---Hang up before these 4 seconds are done.
Begin:
Clear Exception (ContactInactiveException)
Set Contact Info (--Triggering Contact--)
     Language: strLanguage (I have a Language varible named this with the value L[en_US] )
     Handled:
     Session: strSession (I have a Session varible named this with the value null )
I edited this to add the delay and accept steps, so you would know the proper order for them to be in. I have a script that calls customers and asks if it is ok to fax them documents to that line in the next 5 minutes. So they know to let the call go to their fax.

Agents in not ready state too long drops calls.

Using CRS 4.0(3) with agent desktop.
Issue is that when agents go to lunch they go into the not-ready state until they come back from lunch. Upon coming back from lunch, they proceed to go ready and then they start dropping calls as they come into the que.
If you log out completely and close the application when you leave for lunch versus going not ready for an extended period of time the issue does not appear when you log back in.
Any ideas?

Update on this. I looked at the control center and saw that my server was in partial service. I verified the service was the JTAPI subsystem.
I ran the JTAPI update client tool from this link
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/custcosw/ps1846/products_tech_note09186a00801c8316.shtml
and saw the version of JTAPI between the CCM and the IPCC server were off. I updated both IPCC servers to the same version of call manager and will now hold to do some testing.

UCCE 7.5(8) CAD 7.5.1.59 got blocked in Working Ready state

Hi all,
We're using UCCE 7.5(8) with CAD 7.5.1.59. From time to time, we remarked some CAD get blocked in the Working Ready state after ending a call.
Our wrap up time is currently configured to 2 hours (as requested by client) so the CAD wont turn back to Ready state automatically.
The CAD can be unblocked by an internal call (no UCCE)
Anyone experiences the same problem?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

@Geoff:
Thank you for all the good sugesstions, however unfortunately none of them is possible to me
I would try this using the CTIOS client on your test machine, just to eliminate CAD a little. From the trace, it doesn't appear to matter, since you are looking at the pure CTIOS trace messages, and they are the issue - but I like CTIOS for this sort of debugging.
--> We are using CAD and do not have CTIOS client installed. Does the soft actually come with the UCCE installation package? Can you please tell me where I can find it?
@Geoff and Ed
Dissociate and re-associate the device with JTAPI and retest.
--> Good point, I did the same actually but the phone still didn't work.
Nevertheless, I really think we have a network problem (which was observed time to time before)
I will update this thread as soon as I can do some further tests.
Thanks,
Regards,
