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.

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)

Installing contact center enterprise 6.0 in new server and upgrading to 7.0

Hi,
I am trying to install contact center enterprise 6.0 into a new server ( earlier both call manage 4.3 and enterprise 6.0 were in the same BOX). So now i am upgrading cucm4.3 to 7.0 and installing enterprise 6.0 onto a new server taking backup from the old server and restoring in the new server. and after that i am planning to upgrade the Enterprise version to 7.0. Is this the right way or there is any other way.

Take a look at the 7.0 Upgrade Guide for your options. You'll be looking for Tech Refresh.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/icm_enterprise/icm_enterprise_7_0/installation/guide/Upgrade_Guide.pdf
Is there any reason why you are not upgrading to UCCE 7.5 which is compatible with UCM 7.0?

Contact Center 8.5 upgrade requirements

Hi,
we are planning upgrade the contact center express from 8.5 to 10. the 8.5 is currently hosted on two MCS7825I5. do we need to change the hosting to UCS or can we host the new contact center express 10 on current hardware?
for call manager, we are using 8.6 version hosted on UCS servers. does the call manager version need to change also?
Regards,
Regards,

1. Yes, UCCX 10 is only supported on vmware, it is supported on Cisco UCS and 3rd party spec based servers.
2. Yes you need to be on CUCM 9.1.SU1 +:

CCX 4.5 to 9.0 upgrade SKU question

Our customer wants to upgrade his Cisco IP phone system to version 9.1.
Now they are using CallManager version 5.1 and CCX version 4.5.
CallManger upgrade is clear to me but the CCX is not.
I have read in Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Upgrade Guide:
"If you are running any other earlier releases of Cisco Unified IP IVR, such as 4.0(5) or 4.5, consider upgrading your system to Unified CCX 7.0(2)ES03 and then use this document to upgrade to Unified CCX 9.0(x) using the Windows to Linux upgrade."
So upgrading CCX from version 4.5 to 9.0 is possible.
But when I configure "L-CCX-90-UPG-LIC" in CCW I could set "CCX 9.0 UPGRADE - 7.0 to 9.0" only.
I cannot find "CCX 4.0 UPGRADE - 4.0 to 9.0" or something.
Which SKU I have to buy in order to upgrade CCX version 4.5 to 9.0?
Thanks in advance,
Laszlo

Gergely brings up a good point. The decision needs to be based on how badly you want to keep the historical reporting data. If this isn't important to you then I would agree: you can save yourself a lot of time by just building a new 9.x install and manually migrating the configuration over.
Note that the Windows to Linux migration tool from 7.0 to 9.0 only carries forward roughly the most recent ~1.5GB of the database records so you'll experience some data loss even during an upgrade.

Contact Center Express 8.5.1 Issue

Hi:
I'm installing a Cisco Contact Center Express 8.5.1 in a virtualized server but when I tried to configure a team, I observed there ar a lot of Default teams created and every time new Default teams are created.
Any idea about what is making this trouble?

This is a known bug filed under CSCtq40046. There have been so many TAC cases over this that Cisco released a COP file for it. You'll want to apply it or upgrade to a Fixed In version which appears to be 9.0.

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.

Missing information (addresses, etc.) in my Contacts after upgrading to Mountain Lion

I can't see detailed information (addresses, etc.) in my Contacts after upgrading to Mountain Lion. This happened when I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard, but fixed itself when upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion.
I can see the information when I do a Print Preview of an envelope, so the information is in the program somewhere, but can't be seen when viewing the Contact Card.

BTW, I can see all Contact Card information on my iTouch just fine.

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

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

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.
