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 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

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

Hello Pulikt,
Do the following :
Step 1.) Open up the IC Web client, log into it by using your CRM system user and ensure that the telephony channel is selected. Select Work mode : Ready using the radio button.
Step 2.) Choose refresh on the CCS Agent Over view page.
Hope this helps in solving your problem.

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.

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 ...
Thanks,

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

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,
Venkat

It 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,
Derek

CAD from Contact center into SAP CRM

Hi All,
I am no SAP expert, but the following is what we are trying to achieve:
-A call comes into a contact center application
-Via an integration this call is send to a SAP ICI webinterface and ends up at the agent logged on to that SAP session.
Now we have an awkward situation that the original number coming from the PBX is rather misformed +00031123456789. What we are expecting is +31123456789. The number coming from the PBX can be changed, but that is going to have consequences for all other people that are not connected to SAP, so doing this is not an option.
What I have been reading about is that it is possible to get CAD (Call Attached Data) to be send into the SAP ICI environment.
The contact center application is delivering the data in the following XML format:
What I am interested in is to map all these fields into such a way that I can use them in the SAP ICI interface.
I have been reading Link:[; and in there it is mentioned that there needs to be a mapping between these fields and an XSLT and ABAP. And a reference to a book.
Is there anybody that can help me with this? Or give me some other advice that could help me out in this case. I would very much appreciate it.
Thank you all very much for your input.
Best regards,
Corné

Hello Corné,
I'm guessing the reference was to my book, "Maximizing Your SAP CRM Interaction Center" from SAP Press, where on page 396 I offer a paragraph on how to identify a call via CAD rather than ANI.
Here's the excerpt:
How to Identify Account via Call Attached Data (CAD)
Is the Interaction Center able to identify a customer via account number contained in call attached data (CAD) rather the via automatic number identification (ANI) service?
Yes, it is possible to identify a customer by extracting the customeru2019s account ID from the call attached data (CAD). This can be configured in the IMG activity Define Account Identification Profiles (transaction CRMC_IC_BPPROF) in the fields under Contact-Attached Data Extraction. In the CAD Application ID field, enter the value that appears in the application ID tag that appears in the XML code of the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system that collects the customeru2019s account number (e.g., u201CGenesys-CADu201D). In the XSLT file field, enter the name of the XSLT program that is responsible for extracting the account ID from the contact attached data. You are responsible for creating this XSLT file. However, SAP delivers a sample XSLT file that you can reference, named CRM_IC_BPIDENT_EXT_IAD_TO_ABAP. SAP also provides a sample program showing how to extract CAD data from, for example, Genesys named CRM_IC_BPIDENT_EXT_IAD_GENESYS. See SAP note 707104 for additional information.
Best regards,
John

Ask the Expert: Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) Version 10.0 - Upgrade, Migration, and New Features Overview

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. He also works on other technologies, including Unified Communications Manager and UCCE. He has been involved in many technical escalations in the Asia Pacific region. Abhiram also holds a CCIE in voice (40065).
For more details about this topic, refer to the recently published Tech-Talk Video and Blog.

Remember that you can continue the conversation in the Voice, Video, and Collaboration community, sub-community, Contact Center discussion forum shortly after the event. This event lasts through January 31, 2014. Visit this forum often to view responses to your questions and the questions of other community members.

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)

CTI Problem in inbound call scenario with Siemens OpenScape Contact Center (CMS)

Hello Experts,
we are working on a SAP CRM 7.0 EhP 2 with CTI to a CMS from Siemens (OpenScape Contact Center).
The basic integration works perfect, so that agents get informed about incoming calls in their Interaction Center UI and so on.
Currently we have a problem with handling of incoming calls:
When the agent is available (workmode 'ready') and he does not accept the call, the next available agent in the queue gets the call.
So far, so good. The problem is that the calls, the agent did not accept, do not disappear in the upper right corner. They are counted up to 5 and a timer starts counting up to 600 seconds. When the 600 seconds are reached, the agend gets disconnected from the communication channel, too.
(In case the agent talkes a call again, this counter is reset to again)
Is there any possibility to avoid the signalization of unaccepted calls from CRM side (generally)?
How could we prevent the agent from disconnection after 600 seconds and 5 unaccepted calls from CRM side?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards
Martin

Hi Yoro,
do you click on a physical phone button or on the button in the WebUI.
As far is i know, the OpenScape Contact Center does not support hang up funktionallity of the related button in the WebUI.
If you do not use wrapup time (which is used to give the agent time for the data maintenance before he continues receiving calls) the Counter shoud end after the call.
It seams that the OpenScape does not work propperly.
For more details you can take a look into the Log:
Transaction CRM_ICI_TRACE
You have to set the User Parameter CRM_ICI_TRACELEVEL to value XXX to enable the logging.
Good Luck!
Kind regards,
Martin Gaschk
