Contact Center Failover Solution?
Hi,
We have CiscoCallmanager Publisher/Subscriber and UCCX Server in one site (A). The other sites (B,C) they all use the contact center services from site A. If something happened to site A, we want site B and C can still work. Right now, we only have some integrated service router which is capable of doing callmanager fallback in site B and C. But for contact center, I believe the router can't do the failover. So how can I realized the contact center service failover? Buy and install another UCCX server in site B and C?
I'm new to VoIP stuff. Please help. Thanks a lot.

Hi Jonathan,
This contact center failover discussion is long time ago. Finally I got the time to give it shot. I'm manually configuring the ephone, ephone-dn and ephone hunt in the router. I noticed I must configure "dial-peer hunt" to specify the dial peer hunt sequence. But how can I use this command appropriately? It has multiple mode to configure. In the normal operation, the router just sent the inbound contact center calls to CTI route point. We have a pots dial peer to match all the incoming call:
dial-peer voice 1 pots
description Incoming Calls
incoming called-number .
direct-inward-dial
We have two queues, when the link to UCCX and UCM is down, I preconfigured two dial-peer to match two different incoming calls like:
/* Style Definitions */
table.MsoNormalTable
{mso-style-name:"Table Normal";
mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;
mso-tstyle-colband-size:0;
mso-style-noshow:yes;
mso-style-priority:99;
mso-style-qformat:yes;
mso-style-parent:"";
mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;
mso-para-margin:0in;
mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt;
mso-pagination:widow-orphan;
font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;
mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;

mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;
mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;
mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;
mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";
mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;}
dial-peer voice 120 pots
description incoming call to group1
service aa-group1
incoming called-number xxx1111111
direct-inward-dial
port 0/0/0:23
forward digits-all
dial-peer voice 130 pots
description incoming call to group2
service aa-group2
incoming called-number xxx2222222
direct-inward-dial
port 0/0/0:23
forward digits-all
Since these two new dial-peer coexists with the old "wildcard" dial-peer matching any incoming calls, I need specify the preferences for them to make router select new dial-peer with auto attendent during the failover. Can the "dial-peer hunt" command do this? Thanks a lot for your help. Really appreciated.

Cisco UCM with Third Party Contact Center Solution
Hi all, hope everyone is well.
Anyone out there running Cisco UCM with a third party contact center solution ? would love to hear your experience on this subject.
Thanks in advance !!
DannyI have not heard of any sucessful stories, which vendor are you considering and what would you not go with UCCE/UCCX?
I used to work for Rockwell (Aspect today) which attempted to integrate their Business Contact Solution with CUCM (back on 3.3) and it worked OK for low volume calls, but never had any customer adoption.
I have not heard of any other known ACD vendors integrating with CUCM.

Direct CTI Integration with Oracle Contact Center Form
Hi,
We are on 11.5.10.2 and we are trying to implement the "Direct CTI Integration" solution that Oracle suggested to enable Screen Pop in contact center form based on data coming from a third party CTI. In our case we are using Genesys TServers for CTI.
In this document (The equivalent R12 document is on metalink titled DIRECT CTI Integration - Oracle EBS Contact Center & Third Party CTI [ID 734902.1]), Oracle solution involves little to no coding from the Oracle Apps side other than a few profile setups. We are not able to get started on this because we did not find some of the profile options. And the forms did not have the changes that Oracle said it should have. Obviously, we need to apply some patches but not sure which one.
I am wondering if there are any users and customer who have implemented a similar solution that can help us get started.
Thanks.
Regards,
VenkatIt has been a while since we did a test of the Direct CTI integration at my company. We are on a 12 release so the patches are included, unfortunately I can't help there.
Word from the Wise: Be Prepared....
The only development on the Oracle side that was necessary was the configuration of the profile settings. You select a port in the settings which will then instantiate an http listener on the user's thin client.
The development on the CTI side is intensive....you must code an http listener on your client CTI to enable two way communication between the Oracle thin client and your 3rd party CTI client (most likely residing on the desktop of the user PC, in my case, Cisco CTIOS).
Unless Oracle has since changed their model, you cannot just send a blind screen pop to the Oracle client due to the required 2 way communication. There are a lot of request/response's involved (registers, readys, etc). While it is absolutely necessary for an HTTP listener to exist on the Oracle side, I believe that it is unnecessary to have the level of communication required from the 3rd party CTI. The CTI needs the call control, I just don't believe that Oracle needs to know about it.
If I have incorrectly interpreted or understood the model/options, I hope someone can correct me.
Thanks,

How to go about pursuing Contact Center
Hello,
I wish to pursue Contact Center and CVPI.
I would like to know what are the per-requisite for these specialized voice course.
Kindly suggest a path of different technologies needed for UCCE.
ICM and IP IVR are separate module or are they covered in dept in CVPI or UCCE?
Please suggest how to go about pursuing my goal.
Regards.UCCE is an umbrella solution that includes ICM (central controllers, PGs, AW, HDS) as ACD, then you have CVP as the IVR working with VXML GWs, CUCM as PBX, CUIC for reporting (or 3rd party), Finesse or CTI OS, or CAD for agent desktop, optional CUSP as SIP proxy and bunch of 3rd parties if needed for call recording, workfrce management, wallboard, etc, etc.
ICM can also run outside of UCCE integrated with 3rd party ACDs, but this is more rare in recent years.
HTH, please rate all useful posts.

CUIS Contact Center Reporting Error
I was getting this error on CUIS Reporting tool. I have developed a report using Database Query. My query runs successfully on SQL Server, but its making error in front end. Could anyone have solution on this?
Thread was being aborted. at System.Threading.Thread.AbortInternal() at System.Threading.Thread.Abort(Object stateInfo) at System.Web.HttpResponse.End() at System.Web.HttpResponse.Redirect(String url, Boolean endResponse) at ViewerLauncher.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
Thanks,Hi,
The Contact Center Simulation runs on the J2EE stack so you need to know your J2EE HTTP port and include that in your URL.
http://<server>:<J2EE Port>/bcb
The J2EE port is different from the HTTP/S port.
Check with your basis team to know you J2EE port.

Contact center call recording issues
Good day,
We have a very strange issues with recording calls on our contact center. We use cisco Agent desktop 7.0(1) seem in the startup window. In agent window, from the help>about:
Cisco Unified Contact Center Express 7.0 Cisco Agent desktop 6.6(1) (Premium Version)
Build: 6.6.1.400
So let me start by saying that the recording of inbound calls works more or less. The problem that we have are three:
(1) sometimes the recording suddenly stop with no apparent reason. So we have calls of which the call itself lasts let's say 8 minutes but the recording suddenly stops after 5 minutes.
(2) Sometimes recordings overlap. So when you play back a recorded file, suddenly you hear a completely different call conversation from another agent. Sometimes it hops back to the original agent and sometimes it doesn't. Again there is no apparent reason for why this is happening.
(3) some recordings are half speed. So when you play back the call is in 'slomotion'
I've checked the historical reports to see whether the agents themselves where doing anything out of the ordinary. I looked at reports like login/logout, call details, not ready states, reason codes etc but found nothing. The one thing that comes to mind while posting this is muting of calls. Could this mess up a recording? Anyway, mostly we have no issues but sometimes these 3 issues randomly pop up. Anybody have any experience with this? Or similar issues? Does anybody know the cause and even better the solution?
Any information would be very helpfull, thanks.
rgds,Hello Dass,
Unfortunately I was not the one who implemented this. I'm also not an ip phone engineer. To put it simple, I'm a cisco network engineer and my boss says well VOIP devices are from cisco so you should support that too ;-) . So bare with me as it is kind of not so easy for me to produce the answers. So Imma blur out al lot of info now.
Let me say something about the setup using a diagram:
Because of security I had to leave a few things out of the diagram, but this pretty much tells it all. So we record all inbound calls to our servicdesk. The agents use the agent desktop software, Cisco Unified Contact Center Express 7.0 Cisco Agent desktop 6.6(1) (Premium Version) Build: 6.6.1.400. The pc on which this software runs is physicaly connected to a cisco ip phone 7962 (pc port) and the phone is connected to a C2960 switch. Switch port confguration:
interface FastEthernet0/4
switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan 50
srr-queue bandwidth share 10 10 60 20
priority-queue out
mls qos trust cos
auto qos voip trust
spanning-tree portfast
We have a few of thses switches in a star topology connected to a 'backbone' switch C2960S. All connections to the backbone are trunked. The contact center is directly connected to this 'backbone switch' on an access port on vlan 50.
Now looking at the contact center web interface, I see in System=>Control Center I see a couple of services that are running related to recording:
Cisco Desktop Recording & Statistics Service
Cisco Desktop Recording Service
This is pretty much all I have now. If there is more info required I can look it up. So can anyone say anything about this issue that I have? -
Contact Center Enhanced License for Cisco 2951 Router
Hi,
I need an urgent help to get the exact part number/details of Contact center enhanced license.
I couldn't find in CCW or any other tool about this license with Cisco 2951 Router (CISCO2951-V/K9).
To run this license on mentioned router, do we need to order it separately or we can take it with router?
Please respond asap.Hi Andre,
I was just refering the Ordering guide which says
Updating UCSS contract when upgrading Unified CCX licenses
UCSS cannot be upgraded from one category to another (e.g. Standard to Enhanced). If
the customer upgrades within the solution, they need to purchase UCSS for greater or
equal value to cover the new version, then they can request a credit on the unused term
of the original purchase from Customer Service
you can also speak to [email protected] for more details on ESW.

Does anyboby know if it's possible to create a "Sales Pitch Form" (I'm not sure about the existence of this concept in English) in Cisco Unified Contact Center Express?
We need something like a list of questions - comments that the agent is able to read to talk with customers in a managed way. It's something really common in customer support.
If not, do you know any company that commercializes with kind of solutions?
Thank you very much!Hi Alicia,
There are no customized forms which can be created in contact center express by default, it can be done with third party vendors
-The best way to go about this is would be to contact ciscos sales/account team for your account and have them contact advanced services to see if this is feasible
Thanks,
