Computer Telephony Integration

I am looking for some direction with regards to what is possible with regards to CTI in a CCX 7 Premium environment. Any assistance would be welcome.

That's a wide net you are casting.
At the root of CTI is the ability to pass data "with" the call.
Of course, it normally does not go "with" the call but there is a parallel signalling path between client and server such that information assembled at the server while the call is in the IVR or being routed appears at the desktop when the call arrives. Many desktop clients allow further integration to push the call data into secondary apps.
So maybe you have a user in the IVR entering (say) their account number, and you do a database dip or contact a Web Service using the account number and retrieve a bunch of stuff.
1. Some of this stuff is for self-service (what's my account balance?)
2. some of this stuff is for routing (hey, I'm a Platinum customer so get me to one of the top agents with high priority)
3. some of this stuff is carried to the desktop for presentation and driving into secondary applications.
How about a few more clues?
Regards,
Geoff

Telephony integration (CAD function profile for business role)

Hi,
1. What's the purpose of defining Contact Attached Data (CAD) profile, then assigning it to the business role?
2. Have you got the step-by-step guidance in configuring that?
Thank you.

Lots of stuff posted in this forum over the last year you should be able to find to answer your question.
What is Computer Telephony Integration (and Why Do I Need It?)
IMG
1. SM59 setup pointing to the vendor ICI product
2. IMG Path: u2192 Customer Relationship Management > IC Web Client> Basic Functions > Communication Channels > Define Communication Management Software Profiles
3. Assign to IC web profile as Contact Center (item created in 2nd step)
non IMG (done manually in each client, dev, test, prd)
4. CRMM_BCB_ADM, define name and point to step 1.
5. CRMM_IC_MCM_CCADM add item from step 4, choose channles phones, and ques are phone 3. Set CAD handling to 4 (leave blank for SAP CCS).

Computer Telephone integration with CRM

Hi ,
We have a requirement to integrate existing Interactive Voice Response system,Computer Telephone Integration and Automatic Call Distribution with proposed SAP CRM. In order to integrate them we would like to use third party adapters from companies like AMT,SIEMENS,Genesys etc..
1. Does any one has experience in integrating these tools ?
2. Or is there any other better approach for the integration with CRM?
Thanks for your time.
Sunil

Hi Tony-
I am vinod, working in Accenture, India. I am a genesys engineer, have little knowledge of SAP CRM.
We made a successfull RFC connection to gplus in sm59, then i tried to create a telephony server in sphb, but this connection test failed. Am i going in the right path, or is there any other way to do this.
Is maintaining telephony server in SPHB mandatory or is there a similar setting in CIC0 configuration?
Can you please let me know how this can be done. Please provide me if you have any documents on this.
Thanks in advance

CRM 7.0: Test/simulate telephony integration in IC web client

Hello
one of our customers is currently performing CRM release upgrade from CRM 4.0 to CRM 7.0. In CRM 4.0, they used the sapphone server for telephony integration (CTI) into CRM IC win client (SAP GUI).
Now weu2019re currently testing this feature in CRM 7.0, however, the telephony buttons in the IC web client are shown but do not trigger any action.
My question: Is there any kind of test / simulation scenario for testing the telephony integration using sapphone server directly in the SAP system (without the actual sapphone server)? Weu2019d like to make sure that the customizing of the IC profile itself is correct before looking for other technical issues. We're currently testing using business role IC_AGENT.
I searched SAP marketplace and SDN, however, only found transaction code SPHT and guides for ICI.
Many thanks & regards
Wolfgang

Hi,
thanks for that one, I've read this before but didn't mention that we've got no JAVA stack available. So we'd be looking for a solution that is fully possible with only the ABAP stack.

Telephony integration

Hello,
What are the steps involved in telephony integration in CIC. Please explain in detail.
Thanks,
Diana Kurien

for cti need to follow this
Configuring the CTI Component
The CTI component is the central component that administers the data interchange and the consistency between the CIC functions and SAPphone APIs to the telephone system (CTI). The CTI component is therefore notified of all processor sessions and all telephone operations from the application. The component runs in the background and does not contain any visible elements or screens.
You can make the necessary settings in the IMG node Customer Service à Customer Interaction Center (CIC) à Component Configuration à Configuration of CTI Component. There are two activities at your disposal here:
· Maintain Profile of CTI Component
Here you define the ID and configure the parameters of the CTI component (telephony integration).
For example, you can determine the behavior of the login and logout processes when the front office transaction is called, from full automation right through to a manual procedure.
· Assign Telephone Queues to CTI Profiles
Here you can define a CTI profile and assign queues/telephone numbers to this profile. Processors can then log on to these queues when they call up the front office.
You integrated the profile for the CTI component in your CIC profile under the component profile category CTIADMI_PROF or CTIQA_PROF. You also need to include the component CTI in your framework.

CRM 5.0 and telephony integration

Hi gurus,
We have CRM 5.0 integrated with Siemens HiPath ProCentre and we've come across a couple of issues with it, which our users are not able to pinpoint the first occurence of for us to trace back.
1. When ending an outbound call the call timer does not always clear, meaning that SAP CRM does not pass more calls to the user unless they log out of CRM/CTI and back in again.
2. Our telephony is not matching the account based on inbound telephone number.
If anyone has any knowledge in telephony integration and they are able to help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew G.

Unfortunately, our limited exerpience makes it tough to know if the issue is with the CTI integrator or CRM. We have a different integrator AMC with Cisco very few issues. The CTI integrator should have logs where they can view the data passing thru their tool. In CRM t-code CRM_ICI_TRACE can be used to used to see the CRM user data. if the user has a PID with CRM_ICI_TRACELEVEL = XXX then more detail level is provided.
We have not experienced the issues you have described. Every blue moon we get a user gets in catch 22 where they can't hang up or end (hang up says not in a call, end says to end the phone call 1st)

Telephony Integration with WD4A

Hi experts,
I am currently investigating the feasability of re-writing and updating our 3rd party direct order entry system using Web Dynpro for Abap. One of the features of our current system written in visual basic is the telephone integration, ie incoming call details pop up on screen, interrupting the program and starting a new process.
I have been investigating how to achieve this through the events framework of WD4A applications. Ideally I would like to subscribe to an 'incoming call' event which will trigger upon recieving a call. Whilst looking through sdn and help pages I have found a lot of information on ICI, ANI and such but nothing yet on how I might actually implement a system described above.
Has anyone attempted such a scenario within WD4A or can suggest how such a result might be achieved?

There are a number of ISV solutions available for CTI integration with Dynamics CRM, such as
mscrm-addons and c360. Beyond those, there are a number of VoIP providers that offer a Dynamics CRM CTI integration, such as
Cisco, Genesys, and Avaya. Finally, Microsoft has released their own Customer Care Accelerator:

IC WebClient Telephony Integration - New workmode

Hi Gurus,
I'm currently working on a CRM 6.0 implementation project. Our system is currently connected with Cisco for telephony.
Currently in the WebClient I have available only two work mode: Ready / NotReady.
I would like to know if is possible to add additional workmodes.
Thanks

Hi Valentin,
The workmodes and their text descriptions are not defined in SAP anywhere, it is up to the software that implements the ICI specification (in this case, the Cisco CRM Connector), to define those, and make them known to SAP.
There is a Cisco registry setting that needs to be configured on the Cisco CRM Connector system itself. The parameter is called "TpiWorkmodeListEn". There is another parameter called "TpiNotReadyReasonCodeOffset" that defines the offset between values configured in TpiWorkmodeListEn, and what is sent to Cisco as the actual reason code.
Here is an example of how they work together:
1. Let's say we want to have custom reason codes "Lunch=4 and Training=7"
2. According to ICI, user defined codes must be numbered at 999 or higher. So we configure our parameter "TpiWorkmodeListEn" with the value "1004=Not Ready - Lunch (4);1007=Not Ready - Training (7)".
3. Now, we know that 1004 and 1007 are not going to be valid on the Cisco side, so this is where the offset parameter defines what value we subtract. So we set "TpiNotReadyReasonCodeOffset" with the value of "1000". so if we select "Not Ready - Lunch (4)" which has a value of 1004, 1000 will be subtracted, and the result (4) will be sent to Cisco
4. After making these changes, you may want to restart your Cisco CRM Connector to be sure the changes take place
I hope this helps!
Sincerely,
Glenn

Video and Telephony Integration: Enterprise UC with common Dial-plan

Dear Expert,
I have asked the same question under Collaboration but thought to post it under this group too as this is mainly inclined towards Video Integration. I hope this is the right place to post this question.
The enclosed design shows the proposed UC setup which is based upon CUCM (VEr 8.5), ISR Routers(G2 3900/2900Series with PVDM3), Tandberg VCS and VCS expressway..
As always Thank you for all your input..
Regards
M
The expected solution out of this design should provide following
1.Video End point(h323) can call any IP Phone by dialling 5 digit extension and vice-versa.
2.Video end point can make outbound Local,National and International call by dialling the same way as it exist for IP Phone meaning for Local and Long Distance within US by dialling 9 then 10 digit number ,For International: 9011- Country Code- E164 number
3. Video end point will have the extension within 443xx range and can be reached by IP phone by simply dialling 5 digit extension. Route pattern with 443xx will be defined in the CUCM
4. Video End point can be reached by PSTN world by dialling full E164 number i.e 1712-564-43xx . In this call, CUCM will route the call to Video set-up.
5. Common Billing to be used for both Video and Phone setup towards charge-back.6. The most important aspect is Encryption which created all confusion and stopped my progress
Scenario:
Video Conference is going on and the participating users are :
- User on the Internet which have been joined to the conference by dialing their public IP and call established via Tandberg Expressway
-The 2nd user is an ISDN end point and call is routed through the CUCM to ISDN GW(R2)
- This is encrypted Video call
Encrypted Video Call is going on and all of a sudden there is a need to bring in an IP Phone Skinny end point(Audio only) and also a Mobile Phone user. It should be easy to bring these two user as part of the encrypted VC without dropping the ongoing VC.
I have gone through few Networkers Slide and also read that the 3900/2900 ISR supports media as well as signalling encryption and it is possible to achieve this set-up.
But because of involvement of integration with different product line (specific to Tandberg), needs clarification before starting with the lab set-up.
The interpretation of H323 RAS part when Tandberg VCS is acting as a Gatekeeper with respect to CUCM --is different than when Cisco Routers are being used as GK.
Tandberg Gatekeeper if integrated with CUCM comes into play for both Media and Signalling and always participate in the H323 call whereas if Cisco Router is acting as a Gatekeeper then once the RAS part is done Cisco GK goes out of the call.
So,
Please suggest whether anyone tried this setup? If yes then how to achieve this and what should be the link coming out of CUCM to Tandberg VCS-GK.( I think using SIP trunking will do this but not 100% sure about this). Feel free to suggest any design change or any hardware which is required...

Hi
As long as this is new instalation I recommend you to use SIP on all of the end points where possible and integrate with CUCM using sip trunk this will give you two main benefits
- the transformation of the called and calling number from and to CUCM will be easier
-if have end point using H323 and communicating with other end using sip the vcs will do internetworking to this call and you will need license for each internetworked call plus the media path will go through the vcs not direct between end points for internetworking
If you use sip make the end point name/sip usri as [email protected] Calls from vcs to CUCM use search rules with trsformation so if end point dial 123456 only from vcs and the default call is sip vcs will send it to CUCM as 123456@sip domain.com you need to do transformation before sending it to CUCM and send it as 123456@cucmip.
This is just in brief and also using the expersss way you can have your sip domain registered over the Internet and configure dns srv record point sip ton the vcs public ip and Internet calls can come to your end point sip name directly no need to publish ip to others to dial you

How to Configure E-mail and Chat functionalities

Dear all,
How to configure E-mail and Chat functionalities for IC Webclient.
through IC Webclient ICI interface how can we configure E-mail functionality, As per my understanding, E-mails can be handled in a similar way of receiving phones.
Where these E-mails can be stored?, Where we define agent E-mail id?
being ICI is a multi channel support does it need SMPT server support? If No, would there be any difference in the functionality?
How does CHAT functionality works?
Please educate in above scenarios to get a better understanding.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Best wishes
Raghu ram

How to enable Free Seating feature for CTI in IC Web Client?

Hi Gurus,
Cisco needs this following versions features to integrate the Cisco Unified crm connector for SAP.
SAP Interface and Release Level Requirements:
‐ CA-ICI-CTI 6.2 - Integrated Communications Interface u2013 CTI
6.20
‐ SAP NetWeaver Application Server 6.10, 6.20, 6.30, 2004, 7.0
‐ SAP ICI Free Seating feature is required
I would like to know little more details about SAP ICI Free Seating Feature. If I have the latest ICI version with this feature, does it mean, automatically it is available for usage or any licensing has to be done separately to enable this? I am new and dont have much idea how this licensing part works in SAP.
Thanks in advance for your response....
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
As far as I know, to identify the patch which has the required version of this component, you can refer to the respective Interface specification document of the ICI Version.
Alternately, you can also contact the SAP certification center to get more information pertain to this.
You can also find more information in the Blogs below:

How to add business Transactions and areas to CIC

Hi
I have assigned IC_AGENT under CRM_UI_PROFILE.
when I login in web I see the CIC default menu
Upto this point it is perfect.
If I want to see sales, service marketing menus what should I do.
I tried to add SALESPRO under CRM_UI_PROFILE , it take only one parameter value at time either IC_AGENT or SALESPRO
If want to add more than one parameter what should i DO
2) I tried
Assign Business Role to the Position in Org. Model (Org. Unit -> double click on position (eg: Sales Manager) -> select Goto (Main Menu) -> select Detail Object -> select enhanced object description -> select business role in active tab page -> click on create -> select/assign business role (ex: sales manager)
I dont see bussienss trasactions related to sales manager in CIC
3) If want to test calls from my home telephone is this possible in test systems?

Hi Rama,
Using the CRM_UI_PROFILE parameter in transaction SU3 is a great way to test a profile, however these parameters can only
accept one value.
In CRM 7.0 you can now use the value "*" (without quotes) which will give you access to all business roles.
If you want to be able to choose between different business roles when you log on, then, in organzational mangement, enhance the object description at different levels (person, BP, position, etc..) and your user will have access to the different roles through inheritance. Be certain to delete the value from CRM_UI_PROFILE first before testing though, as that setting with supercede the customizing in Org Management.
If you wish to see views from the SALESPRO business role in IC_AGENT, do the following:
1)Create a Z-copy of the IC_AGENT role;
2)Create a Z-copy of the IC_AGENT navigation bar profile (transaction CRMC_UI_NBLINKS);
3)Assign the new Z-navigation bar profile to your new Z-copy of the IC_AGENT role;
4)In transaction CRMC_UI_NBLINKS copy the relevant Work Center IDs to your Z-navigation bar profile;
5)In transaction CRMC_UI_PROFILE activate the relevant work centers for your business role:
     a) Select your new business role;
     b) Double-click on 'Adjust Work Centers";
     c) Field "Inactive" must NOT be checked for the new Work Center IDs that you added in step 4;
     d) Make certain there is at least ONE active link that is assigned to the Group Link of the Workcenter;
     e) Double-click on Adjust Work Center Group Links;
     f) Compare against the same settings for the SALESPRO business role and make certain that the workcenter entries are checked 'visible' - and 'in menu', if desired.
