Contact Center Simulation Steps

HI All,
I am trying to simulate CCS , by following a blog /people/stephen.johannes/blog/2008/05/21/crm-contact-center-simulator-setup .
I have acccessed BCB via http://<javahost>:<javaport>/bcb , but once i am into the screen,it asks to login as admin . i tried logging in with my usual user id , but its not allowing me and hence not able to simulate the phone call.
Any help or any other approach of simulating the call
Many thnx in advance
Chandu

Hi Chandu,
If you add the SAP_J2EE_ADMIN role to your user account, you should be able to log into the simulator.

  • Error with the Contact Center Simulator

    Hello All,
    I am trying to use the Contact Center Simulator (CCS) with the IC WebUI in SAP CRM 7(IDES).
    I have done all the settings as per SAP Help and the Blog: How to Configure Contact Center Simulator User Interface (CCSUI)n
    When i try to use the CCS i am running into a issue.
    This is the sequence of steps - 
    1 - I start the CCS and then then i login to the IC WebUI and in the CCS i can see the Agent with status "Not Ready".
    2 - I change the status in the IC WebUI to "Ready"  but the status in the CCS doesnot change to "Ready" and remains "Not Ready"
    Tried installing different version of JRE (1.4.xx and 1.3.xx) but no change.
    Activated the ICI trace and the error message is see in the ICI is
    Http Outgoing Request - Http/1.0 401 Unauthorized
    Logon Failed
    Call of url http://<servername>:8004/sap/bc/bsp/sam_sess_queue/sam_session_queue_cntrler.do terminated due to error in logon data
    Note
    Logon performed in system <systemname>.No logon data provided.
    I checked SICF and all the required services are activated.
    So not sure whats the cause of the error.
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers
    Subu

    Hi Subbu,
    I have a similar problem , I'm able to view in CCS this message :  Currently no agents are logged on to CCS , how do we proceed forward , i logged to WEB UI and the status is Ready but i'm not able to see the same status in CCS..
    Appreciate if you can publish your solution in this thread ...

    Hello Sap Adherent,
    Stephen Johannes blog is the best source of information on this. I had a look and can see the link for the ICI Overview is broken.
    You should be able to access this now at Integrated Communication Interface -  Using Java - SAP Library
    I hope this helps!

    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 Simulator & IC WebClient

    Hi all
    I'd like to use CCS to run some tests with IC WebClient scenario.
    What I'm doing is the following:
    1) I start WebClient application, log on with an authorized user, choose the proper profile, ensure that telephony channel is selected and Select work mode Ready
    2) I start the CCS, verify that my user appears in the Agents Overview page with workmode Ready and than choose Telephony/Simulation. At this point I specify a telephone number (from), select the number that identifies me (to) and press button "Call Agent"
    At this point I expected something to happen in the WebClient but it is unchanged.
    I followed the Best Practices (building block C78) to set up the scenario in a development system.
    Can anyone suggest me what to check ?
    Many thanks

    Hi Christian,
    First of all, look at the following oss notes: 790596, 787085, and 721008.
    They contains interesting hints, but my system was recently upgraded.
    The problem I experienced was due to wrong syntax for the caller thelephone number. I found the solution just running many test...
    Example:
    I have an business partner with phone number 0101020001 set within its master data. I used that number for simulation, but it does not work: you have to add the "+" character, that is, the number of the caller I use now for simulation is +0101020001...and it works !
    To be honest I did not care about the phone number, I expected a problem due to missing customizing or a bug somewhere.
    Hope this solve your problems

    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)

  • ICI BCB Contact Center Integration

    Hi,
    We are trying to integrate Solidus eCare 5.0 with SAP CRM 2007 for the IC WebClient scenario. We are facing some problems in the test of the connection between the Contact Center and SAP using the Business Communication Broker (BCB) of the Integrated Communication Interface (ICI). All the parametrization has been done in the SAP side. Up this moment the result of the test is "Failed". It looks like we are not sending any parameter in the IciSystem_exchangeProductInformation method, and we should send the ICI version. Could you please help us with this problem?
    Thanks very much

  • 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,

  • EM for contact center agents

    I don't know if this is supported in cm8.5 and cx8.5 - can contact center agents login to contact center service on the phone from EM profile??
    I configured everything to the point where EM is able to display the personal line, and the agent extension for the agent, but there is no service available from the services button on the phone anymore, only to logout of EM. How do you bring the contact center service to the EM profile so agents can login to the queue?
    Thanks in advance for looking and helping out.

    Did you checked the enterprise subscription option for the other services you've created ?
    Any service with the enterprise subscription does not need to be subscribed in the phone and won't show up when subscribing services.
    You can add a service to User Device Profile:
    Procedure
    Step 1 Choose Device >> Device Settings >> Device Profile .
    The Find and List UDP window displays.
    Step 2 To locate a specific UDP , enter search criteria and click Find.
    A list of phones that match the search criteria displays.
    Step 3 Choose the Profile to which you want to add a service.
    The Phone Configuration window displays.
    Step 4 On the upper, right side of the window, click the Subscribe/Unsubscribe Services link.
    Step 5 From the Select a Service drop-down list box, choose the service that you want to add to the phone.
    Step 6 Click Continue.
    The window displays with the service that you chose. If you want to choose a different service, click Back and repeat
    Step 7 If the service has required parameters, enter that information into the field that is provided.
    Step 8 Click Subscribe.
    The service displays in the Subscribed Services list.
