Management Framework 8.5 Product Alerts

[+] Management Framework
Management Framework Product Alerts
- All Management Framework-related configuration and deployment Wizards are discontinued, including Wizard Manager, Configuration Import Wizard, and Database Initialization Wizard. Therefore, the Framework Wizard Advisory is no longer published with Management Framework software. Issues pertaining to Configuration Conversion Wizard (CCW), which is still supported, will be documented in the Configuration Server Release Notes or this Product Alert.
- For database settings, refer to the Framework 8.5 Database Connectivity Reference Guide.
- Single-Tenant Configuration Server is not released in 8.5.1. If a single-tenant configuration is needed in 8.5.1, Genesys recommends that you install Configuration Server and create new databases using the provided multi-tenant database initialization scripts, and then configure an environment with one Tenant (Environment).
- Configuration Server 8.5 requires a valid license file to start. If you did not receive one when you purchased or upgraded your Genesys software, contact your Genesys representative.
- The AIX operating system uses a default memory allocation model. If the allocated memory is not sufficient for your application, refer to the Genesys Hardware Sizing Guide for information about increasing the memory allocation.
- Configuration Manager and Solution Control Interface do not work with Configuration Server in multi-language mode; you must use Genesys Administrator 8.1.303.03 or later, or Genesys Administrator Extension 8.5.000.44 and configure it accordingly.
- Genesys Administrator and Solution Control Interface require DB Server to view log messages from the Log Database.
- Configuration Server or Configuration Server Proxy in multi-language mode will allow a connection with a client application only if that client is also in multi-language mode. Likewise, you can log in to Configuration Server or Configuration Server Proxy in multi-language mode only from a GUI application that is also in multi-language mode. However, there is one exception to these rules. If the allow-mixed-encoding option is set to true, Configuration Server or Configuration Server Proxy will allow the connection and, if a log in attempt, try to authenticate the user, whether or not the client is in multi-language mode. However, be aware that in this case, if a client sends string data that is encoded differently than the encoding used by the server, Configuration Server or Configuration Server Proxy will terminate immediately.
- To use Outbound Contact Manager (OCM) with Management Framework 8.5, you must have the latest release of OCM 7.6.
- To use Genesys Agent Desktop with Management Framework 8.5, you must have the latest release of Genesys Agent Desktop 7.6.
- When using redundant Configuration Servers, if the Configuration DB Server terminates while the backup Configuration Server is terminated, and is restarted after the backup Configuration Server is restarted, the primary Configuration Server remains in READ-ONLY mode. Do not attempt to:
  - Start both primary and backup Configuration Servers simultaneously.
  - Start the backup Configuration Server while the primary Configuration Server is in READ-ONLY mode because of its lost connection with the database.
  Recommendation: Wait until one of the Configuration Servers is fully initialized, or its connection with the database is restored and it is no longer in READ-ONLY mode.
- When using Distributed Solution Control Servers, always ensure that each Solution Control Server, either by itself or as part of a high-availability pair, is running on the Host that it controls. Failure to do so can, in some cases, result in unpredictable behavior of the Solution Control Servers in the Distributed configuration. For example, different Solution Control Servers might start competing for control over applications on the host.
- Solution Control Server (SCS) might stop responding if any log spool files (*.qsp) are deleted while SCS is running. To avoid this problem, do not delete *.qsp files while SCS is running.
- On the Windows 2008 operating system, SNMP Master Agent does not start in console mode if a user (who is not the Administrator, but might be a member of the Administrators Access Group) starts it manually from the browser's Control Panel.
- To enable or disable log filtering using the new application-level configuration option filtering, refer to the Genesys 8.5 Security Deployment Guide.
- If using TLS security with LDAP external authentication, you must configure all LDAP servers listed in the configuration (including those used as backup servers, and servers in different domains) to use the same SSL certificate.
- If you are using FLEXlm license manager, please read this Security Advisory. Note: You must have a Genesys Customer Care username and password to access this advisory.
- Configuration Conversion Wizard (CCW) supports IBM DB2 v.9.7 and later on Linux/UNIX/Windows platforms, and IBM DB2 v.7.1 and later on the AIX platform.
- When using CCW to check the data in your Configuration Database for correct business logic, you can:
  - Print the results of the business logic check by right-clicking on the results page and selecting Print from the shortcut menu.
  - Return to the top of the results page from any report section by right-clicking the results page and selecting Back from the shortcut menu.
- You cannot use CCW to import or export a database if the Wizard detects the database as being an ORIGINAL UTF-8 or UTF-8. In this case, the Import and Export options are disabled in the Wizard.
- CCW may not run properly in a non-English version of Windows. To remedy this, launch CCW in an English version of Windows.
Link to Framework 8.1.x Release Advisory

New in Management Framework 8.5.x Releases

[+] New in Release 8.5.1

The following new features were added in the 8.5.1 release:

General Features

Bootstrap Logging: When started from the command line, Configuration Server, Message Server and Solution Control Server can now be configured to generate logs, starting from the very beginning of startup, until the log configuration is loaded from the Configuration Database. These bootstrap logs can assist in troubleshooting startup and connectivity issues.
Enhanced Database Access: DB Server 8.1.3, using DB Client 8.5.1 or higher, now allows selected Applications to use Windows Authentication with MS SQL Server to access an MS SQL Database.
Alternate Disaster Recovery Model: Management Framework now supports database replication leveraging the Microsoft SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Groups concept for Genesys disaster recovery and business continuity architecture.
Streamlined Migration: Migration of Management Framework components to release 8.5 and later has been streamlined to provide more exact and less release-specific migration paths. In addition, an upgraded version of Configuration Server can now run alongside its HA partner that is not upgraded, for a brief period of time.
Updated Language Packs: 8.5.0 Language Packs for Configuration Server have been updated for release 8.5.1.
Support for New Software
- Support for the VMware ESXi 6 virtualization environment.
- Support for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux AP 64-bit x86 7 operating system.
- Support for the following Database Management Systems:
  - MS SQL Server 2014, 2016
  - IBM DB2 10.5

Configuration Layer

Consolidation of Single-Tenant (Enterprise) and Multi-Tenant Configuration Server: The single-tenant and multi-tenant Configuration Server IPs have been consolidated into one Configuration Server IP, which can be used for configuration environments with one or more Tenants. Single-tenant Configuration Databases are still supported and you can upgrade existing databases to the latest available format, but single-tenant configurations can no longer be deployed for new installations.
Support of Load-Balancing by Configuration Server Proxy: Clusters of Configuration Server Proxies can now support load balancing using the F5 load-balancer for agent-facing applications. For one of the ways in which this functionality can be implemented, refer to the "Load Balancing Using Clusters" section of the Workspace Desktop Edition Deployment Guide.
Improved Connections Between Configuration Servers: You can now set a timeout to ensure expedient connections between Configuration Servers. This timeout applies to the following connections:
- Primary or backup Configuration Server Proxy connecting as a client to primary master Configuration Server.
- Backup master Configuration Server connecting as a client to primary master Configuration Server.
- Backup Configuration Server Proxy connecting as a client to primary Configuration Server Proxy.
Support for Deployment of Genesys Applications in Single Sign-On Environments: Configuration Server now supports simplified deployment of Genesys Administrative Applications in environments that use single sign-on. Refer to application-specific documentation to determine if the application supports this, and if so, to confirm deployment requirements.
Dedicated Management Ports: You can now specify a default management port (TCP/IP port) on Configuration Server Proxy that management software uses to monitor and control the operation of the proxy server. The default management ports in Configuration Server and Configuration Server Proxy Application objects now open just after the components are initialized and before "initialization complete" log messages are generated.
Enhanced LDAP External Athentication:
- When using LDAP external authentication, Configuration Server uses only the DN (Distinguished Name) attribute returned by LDAP Server in the ldap-url option for each entry searched in LDAP. Configuration Server ignores all other attributes.
- Keep-Alive Mechanism for LDAP External Authentication increases the robustness of the external authentication connection by enabling this Keep-Alive mechanism (where supported by the operating system).
Enhanced Database Access: Configuration Server can now use Windows Authentication with MS SQL Server to access an MS SQL Configuration Database.
More Secure and Efficient Agent Data Retrieval: Configuration Server can now be configured to execute requests, submitted via an internal brief API, taking into account permissions of the parties involved. This reduces the volume of object data downloaded by an application when it discovers available objects.
New Component: The Configuration Database Maintenance Scripts component enables upgrade of the Configuration Database schema and locale as needed. Additional scripts are included in this component to help you maintain data integrity and analyze performance of the Configuration Database. The scripts can be run directly in the DBMS or by a command-line interface.
No LRM Integration: Starting with Configuration Server 8.5.101.00, License Reporting Manager 8.5 can no longer be integrated with Configuration Server. Refer to the START_WIDGET5fc4c1016b357d57-1END_WIDGET for more information.
Enhanced Migration of Configuration Servers:
- HA Configuration Servers, using the same Configuration Database schema version 8.1.1, can now be migrated from 8.1.3 to 8.5.101 without loss of backup functionality.
- Configuration Server Proxy 8.5, in both primary and backup mode, can, during migration, start and operate against Configuration Server 8.1.3.
New Application types

Management Layer

Enhanced Database Access: Message Server can now use Windows Authentication with MS SQL Server to access an MS SQL Log Database.
New and modified scripts for initalizing Log Database: A new Message Server script, drop_tables_<DBMS>.sql drops existing tables and procedures. The existing Log Database initialization scripts no longer drop existing tables and procedures. If you have to re-initialize an existing Log Database, run the new script drop_tables_<DBMS>.sql before the appropriate initialization script.
Genesys Deployment Agent not installed automatically: The Genesys Deployment Agent is no longer automatically installed with LCA by default.
New SNMP implementation: You can now use Net-SNMP, a third-party tool, to implement SNMP in Genesys software. Net-SNMP can be used in parallel with, or instead of, Genesys SNMP Master Agent, and provides the same functionality.
New mlcmd parameter: The new mlcmd parameter -start-initapp starts an application without waiting for the status to change to Initializing/Running.
The Framework Management Layer User's Guide is now available on the documentation wiki.

Security Features

Larger Kerberos Token: The maximum accepted size of the Kerberos token has been increased from 12 KB to 64 KB.
Case-insensitive Searches in Kerberos: You can now configure Configuration Server or Configuration Server Proxy to perform case-insensitive searches to identify Person objects authorized by the Kerberos ticket. If more than one user object is identified, those users are not authenticated and an error is generated. This feature is especially relevant if you are using Microsoft Windows Active Directory as the Key Distribution Center.
Configuration Server port segmentation: You can configure separate ports on Configuration Server and Configuration Server Proxy that are restricted for use only by client User Interface (UI) type applications.
Enhanced security on UNIX:
- Genesys Security Pack on UNIX now uses OpenSSL instead of RSA to facilitate communication in the SSL/TLS protocol suite.
- Security Pack scripts have been changed to use SHA256 by default.
Secure Connections for Centralized Log: Configuration Server and Solution Control Server can now use Simple or Mutual TLS to secure a connection to the Message Server designated for the Centralized Log.
Secure connections with Oracle DBMS: You can now configure secure connections between Oracle databases and Genesys components running Oracle database client software.
Secure connections with Microsoft SQL DBMS: You can now configure secure connections between Microsoft SQL databases and Genesys components running Microsoft SQL database client software.
Secure connections with PostgreSQL DBMS: You can now configure secure connections between PostgreSQL databases and Genesys components running PostgreSQL database client software.
The password for the Configuration Database can now be encoded using an asymmetric encryption algorithm, with the encryption and decryption keys stored in external files.
Enforcement of External Authentication at Tenant Level: External authentication can now be selectively enforced at the Tenant level in a multi–tenant environment.

[+] New in Release 8.5.0

The following new features were added in the 8.5.0 release:

General Features

If a natural, man-made, or unintended event occurs at the main site, forcing Configuration Server, Solution Control Server, and Message Server to fail, Genesys now recommends a multi-site deployment model to maintain operations.
Migration of Management Framework components is improved, enabling the upgrade to occur with minimal downtime and impact to the production environment.
Throttling can be applied to log outputs to prevent a log queue from growing to a size that could impact normal operation of an application.
