With Abhiram Kramadhati
Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about the upgrade, migration methods, and new features of the latest released Version 10.0 of Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) with Cisco expert Abhiram Kramadhati.
Abhiram will address the following on the latest release of Cisco UCCX Version 10.0:
Installation
Upgrade from previous versions - both Linux and Windows
Migration from MCS to Cisco UCS environment - Different methods and best practices
New features - Overview and limitations
This discussion will center on install and upgrade best practices, changes in hardware support, and migration methods from MCS to Cisco UCS. He can also briefly discuss the new features introduced in 10.0. The discussion focuses the latest versions, but queries about general Cisco UCCX topics can be addressed too if time allows.
Abhiram Kramadhati is an engineer with the Contact Center Backbone group. He has been working with Cisco UCCX since he joined Cisco. During two years at Cisco, he has built his expertise around Cisco UCCX telephony applications, Java Telephony API (JTAPI) integration, Cisco UCCX system behavior, LDAP components, and Cisco UCCX as IP interactive voice response in Unified Contact Center Enterprise (UCCE) environments.

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)

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

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
========
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_8_5/user/guide/cda85ccxug-cm.pdf
========
Regarding chat - Agents can communicate only with team members , supervisors and SME (if presence is enabled). The closest what you can have for the template is "
Predefined High-Priority Chat Message" which can be checked on page 57
=========

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 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,

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

Scale CCX, Contact Center Express in BE 6000

I know that "The Business Edition 6000 Cisco Unified Contact Center Express supports up to 100 concurrent call center agents with agent-based service" but ....
How is this enforced?
can 110 or 120 Agents concurrent be loged in if there is available ccx licenses?
What about HA, it is active active for ccx since 8.6 ver
I would really appreciate answers
BRegards

Hi,
it may require some programming, but it's possible.
What I would do: use the Cisco Unified Routing Rules Interface (CURRI) API. Here's how:
1. call center agent initiates outbound call;
2. CUCM asks the CURRI server (to be created), with the following parameters: the calling number, the called number;
3. CURRI server asks UCCX: is there an active login associated with this calling number?
If yes, the call will be allowed. Otherwise, it will be denied (perhaps with a treatment, saying that you are not allowed to call this number).

I refered to the CCX comaptibilty guide but but I did not get information regarding operating system comaptibility with CSA. Kindly provide the same.
Also I tried version 5.0.0.235 of CSA it gave error "CIsco works common service is not installed" & insatllation aborted. I do not have CWLMS in network do i need to install some cisco works common services?

Hi Atul,
These are the compatible version of CSA with 7.01Sr5. Recommended one is the highest and latest in the list 5.2.0.296-3.1(9)k9. You can install this in the server regardless of the version OS if you have UCCX 7.01 Sr5.
4.5.1.639-2.0(3)

The sandbox of Unified Contact Center Enterprise always shows the error "Finesse is out of service."

Hi guys,
I reserved the sandbox of Unified Contact Center Enterprise. But when I open the desktop application from the url "http://10.10.20.60/desktop/container". It always shows the error "Finesse is out of service.".
Does anyone meet the issue?
William

Hi DeveloperMax,
According to your description, the error occurs when you execute the package with Agent job on clustered MSSQL 2012 Enterprise Nodes.
As per my understanding, I think this issue can be caused by you use SQL Server Agent to schedule a SQL Server Integration Services package in a 64-bit environment. And the SSIS package is referencing some 32-Bit DLL or 32-Bit drivers which are available
only in 32-bit versions, so the job failed.
To fix this issue, we should use the 32-bit version of the DTExec.exe utility to schedule the 64-bit SQL Server Agent to run a package. To run a package in 32-bit mode from a 64-bit version of SQL Server Agent, we can go to the Job Step dialog box, then
select “32 bit runtime” in the Advanced tab.
Besides, we should make sure that SQL Server Integration Services is installed on the failing environment.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

created by aaronharrison in Contact Center - View the full discussion
Hi
The closest thing to what you are asking for that I've seen is the
'contact service queue activity by interval' report.
It produces normal CSQ stats (total, abandon etc) per interval (i.e. per
hour, 30 mins or 15 mins) through the day so you can see when your busy
times are.
Change the 'interval' to what you need on the detail tab before running
the report.

Hi,
the hw/sw compatibility guide (
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/sw/custcosw/ps1846/products_device_support_tables_list.html) is a great information source. It answers your question.
By the way, if I were you, I would definitely update UCCX to a newer version.
