channel-<any name> Section

driver-classname

Default Value: No default value
Valid Values: Any valid driver class name
Changes Take Effect: After restart

Specifies the class name of the media driver for a specific media service. The class name is provided in the cfg file in the driver's installation directory.

inbound-route

Default Value: No default value
Valid Values: <tenant id> : <access point name> or
<tenant id> : <access point name1>, <tenant id> : <access point name2>
Changes Take Effect: After restart

The value <tenant id> : <access point name> specifies the access point that is used to place submitted interactions for incoming messages. For example:
101:facebook_queue
or
101:inqueue-acc-point
The value <tenant id> : <access point name1>, <tenant id> : <access point name2> is applicable only in support of Facebook session mode. <access point name2> specifies the access point Facebook Driver provides to Chat Server.
The second access point is required for support of private conversations (sessions) between a Facebook user and an agent. Sessions are supported only for the monitor type private-messaging. For monitors of other types, the second access point is ignored.
The second access point must point to the corresponding access point in Chat Server, as described in Step 10 of Configuring Chat Server for Facebook session mode.

Important
For sessions, if the second access point is not configured in Chat Server, all private-messaging interactions are placed in the default Chat Server queue.
The name of this option was changed from inbound-route-default to inbound-route in eServices 8.1.

x-faulty-conditions-delay

Default value: 60
Valid values: 0 - 3600
Changes take effect: Immediately.

Specifies, in seconds, a timespan that takes effect in the event of problems with Facebook communications. Depending on the scenario, the Driver either restarts the affected monitor after the timespan or puts the monitor into sleeping mode for the length of the timespan. This option was introduced in release 8.5.101.17.

Following are the possible scenarios, with the Driver's current and previous behavior contrasted:

  • FacebookOAuthException received while the monitor is starting.
    • Previous versions: the driver shut down the monitor with the error message "Unknown reason. Shutting down monitor" in the log.
    • Current version: the driver restarts the affected monitor after the time specified by the option.
  • FacebookException received while the monitor is starting.
    • Previous versions: the driver restarted the monitor in two seconds.
    • Current version: the driver restarts the affected monitor after the time specified by the option.
  • FacebookOAuthException received while the monitor is working normally.
    • Previous versions: the driver ignored this exception and continued working normally.
    • Current version: the driver puts the affected monitor to sleep for the time period specified by the option, unless the option is set to 0.
  • FacebookNetworkException received while the monitor is working normally.
    • Previous versions: the driver restarted the affected monitor in two seconds.
    • Current version: the driver restarts the affected monitor after the time specified by the option.

Background: When certain issues arise on the Facebook side, Facebook returns errors such as "unknown error, please repeat later" or "Service is temporarily unavailable" and so on. The best available behavior for the Genesys Driver in these cases is one of the following:

  • Not to send any requests to Facebook for an appropriate amount of time—at least 15 minutes to be safe.
  • To restart the monitor; that is, close the current connection to Facebook and open a new one after an appropriate amount of time—again about 15 minutes is suggested.

Note that there is no way of knowing if Facebook will come back on line in the time specified by the option, and that during that time period no interactions will be submitted to the Genesys solution or delivered to agents' desktops.

It may also be advisable to configure an Alarm condition for Social Messaging Server for the log message "Standard 45102": Exception caught and processed: <description>.

x-history-length

Default Value: 1000
Valid Values: Any positive integer
Changes Take Effect: After the time interval specified in the sampling-period or x-sampling-period options

The option in a particular monitor section overwrites the option in the main channel section. The history file keeps data about the latest successfully submitted interaction.The history file name has the following formats:
  • For monitors of the generic, event, and private-messaging types, the format is <type>_<id>; for example, generic_481918061818707.
  • For monitors of the search type, the format is <type>_<hash-code>, where hash-code is some unique number that is calculated based on the value of the query option.

Changes Take Effect: Immediately

Specifies the maximum number of comments per post and replies per comment that can be attached to an interaction. For example, if a Post has one hundred Comments and this option is set to 50, only the fifty most recent comments are attached to the interaction and passed to an Agent. The same for Replies: if Comment has one hundred Replies and the option is set to 50, only the fifty most recent replies are attached to the interaction. Parent Comments are included in the count. For example, if the driver retrieved ten recent Comments and ten latest Replies for some very old Comment, and the option is set to 5, only the five most recent Replies plus the four most recent Comments from the retrieved ten are attached to the interaction.

If the option is set to 0, all comments and replies are attached to the interaction and passed to an Agent. This option applies to Facebook channels only.
