Support for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and 2012 was added on May 5, 2015.
This release includes the following corrections or modifications:
The Adapter now correctly executes the ChangeNotReadyState
device command. Previously, the ChangeNotReadyState
device command was incorrectly enabled in particular conditions, resulting in incorrect behavior. (ER# 313809293)
The Adapter now correctly handles agent requests to transition from a Ready
to a Not Ready
state during legal-guard time. This issue only affects the Alcatel A4400/OXE switch. Previously, the Adapter applied the Ready
state to an agent when, due to the legal-guard time period at the end of the after call work (ACW) time period, the agent should be in the Not Ready
state. (ER# 311705610)

This is a hot fix for this product. This release contains the following new functionality:
The Adapter is now able to request outbound preview records in round-robin fashion. In order to enable this functionality, you must add a new parameter called GSW_CAMPAIGN_NAME
with an empty (""
) value to all three of these CTI commands:
PreviewDialingModeStart
PreviewDialingModeOver
PreviewRecordRequest
The following is an example:
[Command:PreviewRecordRequest] Description = "Record Request" DeviceCommand = "PreviewRecordRequest" Hidden = "TRUE" Profile = "Gplus Voice" Comments = "Request preview record" CmdData = "PreviewRecordRequestCmd" [CmdData:PreviewRecordRequestCmd] Param.GSW_CAMPAIGN_NAME = ""
Alternatively, you can uncomment the corresponding CmdData
in GenComm_universal.def
. Search for the following comment and ;Uncomment
the CmdData
that will appear below it in the .def
file:
;Uncomment CmdData below if you need to request records in round robin fashion
If GSW_CAMPAIGN_NAME
is not present in the three commands above, or if it is present but is not assigned an empty string, functionality will remain as in previous releases, where the Adapter was not able to request outbound preview records in round-robin fashion.

attribute for a given call.
key
naming conventions for call attached data (CAD).<empty>
Frozen�TimeInQueue
detection mode) with the value from this option as its key. After reading, the Adapter sends the results to Siebel in the form of the TimeInQueue
attribute for the call.Note:Compute-TimeInQueue
detection mode: the Adapter reads from the CAD a value associated with the key provided by theEntranceTimestamp
parameter. This value is a string that must conform to the UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) format:YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.
The Adapter then calculates theTimeInQueue
attribute (in seconds) for the call (the difference between the current time, converted into UTC, and the time that it read from the CAD).
Frozen�TimeInQueue
detection mode: the Adapter reads from the CAD a value associated with the key provided by theFrozenTimeInQueue
parameter. This value is an integer that represents theTimeInQueue
attribute (in seconds) of the call, and which was calculated by an external application or software. The Adapter sends this value as is to Siebel.
PBX-TimeInQueue
detection mode: the Adapter reads from theExtensions
call attribute to obtain the PBX/Switch-specificTimeInQueue
and sends that value to Siebel. (Not all PBXs or Switches support such an attribute.)
(ER# 227642476)
- If neither of these options is defined, or if there are no keys related to them in the call attached data, then the Adapter uses
PBX-TimeInQueue
detection mode (the existing Adapter mode available prior to this release).- If both of these options are defined, and both have keys present in the CAD, then the Adapter uses
Frozen�TimeInQueue
detection mode, which has the higher priority.
Example: If both these new options are set in Siebel, as in the following case,[Driver Parameters:Gplus_Voice] Required:Name = "Gplus_Voice" � Service:FrozenTimeInQueue = �Key1� Service:EntranceTimestamp = �Key2�then there are four possible cases for how the Adapter might interpret this, and for what theTimeInQueue
value sent to Siebel is. These cases are as follows:
- If only the pair with the value of
Key1
is present in the CAD, then theFrozen-TimeInQueue
detection mode is used.- If only the pair with the value of
Key2
is present in the CAD, then theCompute�TimeInQueue
detection mode is switchedON.
- If both pairs have their respective values,
Key1
andKey2,
in the CAD, then theFrozen-TimeInQueue
detection mode is used because of its higher priority.- If both
Key1
andKey2
are absent from the pairs in the CAD, then thePBX-TimeInQueue
detection mode is used.

Attention: If you upgrade your Gplus Adapter for Siebel CRM Voice Component component to version 7.5.000.27, you must also upgrade your Gplus Communication Server for Siebel CRM component to version 7.5.000.27.
Previously on AIX, the Adapter did not work properly. Most notably, the GenCommServer
component stopped responding during the reconnection between the GenCommDrv
and GenCommServer
components. This problem was caused by an AIX compiler issue, and resulted in an optimization option being excluded. This problem has been fixed. (ER# 194896293)
Previously, the Adapter did not process the Driver:InboundPartyContainer
parameter and Driver:OutboundPartyContainer
for network calls. The problem has been fixed. (ER# 205756764)
Previously, after a Complete Conference
request, the Adapter did not send a Siebel-enabled DeleteFromConference
command if T-Server was configured without AttrributeOther...

The following CTI profile configuration parameter has been introduced in this release:

Valid Values: Local
, Network
Default value: Network
Local
� The Adapter uses only the standard T-Server operations for two-step operations (consult, transfer and conference) for all types of calls.
Network
� The Adapter uses the Network T-Server operation (Network Consult/Transfer/Conference) for creating and completing two-step operations (consult, transfer and conference) for network calls; all other calls are processed using the standard T-Server operations.
(ER# 199588513)
The SendUserEvent device command can be configured to send AgentID and ConnID as attributes in the related EventUserEvent. In such a configuration, the CmdData section for the SendUserEvent device command should include parameters with names Attribute.AgentID and Attribute.ConnID respectively.
For example:
[Command:SendUserEvent] Hidden = "TRUE" Description = "Send user event" DeviceCommand = "SendUserEvent" CmdData = "SendUserEvent" [CmdData:SendUserEvent] AttachContext = "TRUE" Param.ThisDN = "{@SelectedDN}" Param.Attribute.AgentID = "Attribute_AgentID" Param.Attribute.ConnID = "12340d0000000000"
The value of the Attribute.ConnID parameter must be exactly 16
Hexadecimal symbols that define ConnID.
If it is required to set the Attribute.AgentID and Attribute.ConnID parameters in the UserData
of the UserEvent
, then a backslash (\
) must be used as an escape symbol before the parameter name.
Generally, a backslash (\
) symbol directs the Adapter to send a parameter with the name beginning right after the backslash as UserData
with a SendUserEvent request. A single backslash symbol without a string is treated as a UserData
parameter with key \
.
For example, when CmdData is defined as the following:
[CmdData:SendUserEvent] AttachContext = "TRUE" Param.ThisDN = "{@SelectedDN}" Param.Attribute.AgentID = "Attribute_AgentID" Param.Attribute.ConnID = "12340d0000000000" Param.\Attribute.AgentID = "UserData_Attribute.AgentID" Param.\Attribute.ConnID = "UserData_84321" Param.\ = "This_Is_\" Param.AgentID = "UserData_AgentID"
Then the UserEvent
will include the attributes AgentID and ConnID:
UserData; (Str) \ This_Is_\ (Str) Attribute.ConnID UserData_84321 (Str) Attribute.AgentID UserData_Attribute.AgentID (Str) AgentID UserData_AgentID
(ER# 211903936)
This release includes the following corrections and modifications:
Previously, the GenCommServer
Voice driver terminated unexpectedly if there was no available Configuration Server connection during a driver initialization. This problem has been fixed. Now, if there is no connection to the Configuration Server available, then the client gets a standard message stating that a driver instance cannot be created, and that the client must log in again after the Configuration Server starts up. (ER# 208294241)
Previously the Adapter did not dispatch the EventUserEvent
, which was received on the Communication DN (Driver::Communication
parameter), to all the current active agent sessions. This problem has been fixed. (ER# 212371472)
Previously it was not possible to perform two-step operations (consult, conference, and transfer) between different switches without the Network T-Server, for example, using the call transfer capability of a local switch. The problem has been fixed. The new CTI profile configuration parameter Service:NetworkCallTransferMode
was added to control the two-steps operations behavior. (ER# 199588513)
