See also Internationalization Issues.


Recommendation: When GAX starts from GA (or SCI), Windows Services shows that the function has stopped. To run GAX as an exe service and view the synchronized status in Windows Services, GA, or GAX, you must manually edit the GAX application in Configuration Server and update the command line to gaxservice.exe and the command line arguments to, for example, -service GAX64 -immediate - app GAX application name.

Recommendation: If you are using the Voice Platform plugin for GAX, GAX might not save any configuration objects that use a time input field in the object configuration, such as Statistical Days, Calling Lists, Treatments, Time Zones, Routing Parameters, and Objective Tables.

To ensure that GAX works as expected, upgrade to Voice Platform plugin version 8.5.151.22 or later.

Recommendation: If you are migrating to GAX 8.5.220.20 and are using the Pulse plugin for GAX, do not use Pulse plugin version 8.5.103.01 or 8.5.103.03. Using either of these versions might cause some GAX screens to work incorrectly or not at all; in rare cases, you may be left unable to log in to GAX.

To ensure that GAX works as expected, upgrade to Pulse plugin version 8.5.103.04 or later.

In addition, after the upgrade, ensure that the following files do not appear in the <GAX directory>/plug-ins and <GAX directory>/webapp/WEB-INF/lib folders, deleting the files if necessary:

  • jackson-annotations-2.6.0.jar
  • jackson-core-2.6.0.jar
  • jackson-databind-2.6.0.jar

Recommendation: If you are migrating to GAX 8.5.220.20 and are using the IWD plugin for GAX, make sure that you are using IWD plugin version 8.5.101.04 or later. Using an earlier version of the plugin prevents GAX from starting after the migration is complete. (GAX-8606)

For enhanced security purposes, third-party components were upgraded to latest industry standard versions, and many GAX plug-ins will not work with GAX version 8.5.270.06 if they depend on older versions of the following libraries:

  • Jetty 9.2.22.v20170606
  • CometD 3.0.6
  • Jackson 2.9.4
  • Spring 4.3.13

There is no known workaround and the issue is expected to resolve automatically when the respective plug-in component libraries are updated in newer versions of the plug-ins. To avoid incompatibility issues, if you use GAX plug-ins that use the above-mentioned libraries, it is recommended not to install this GAX version immediately but wait until plug-ins are released with corresponding updates to the third-party libraries.

ID: GAX-1322 Found In: 8.1.301.02 Fixed In: 

The Bulk Change Set functionality in GAX does not support the following scenarios:

  • A Bulk Change Set that creates new objects that also have circular dependencies. For example:
    • A user creates a Bulk Change Set and adds a new agent and a new skill to the Additions section.
    • The user saves the Bulk Change Set.
    • The user assigns the new skill to the new agent, but also gives the new agent access permissions for the new skill.

Such a scenario creates circular dependencies between the new objects, and the execution of the Bulk Change Set fails.

Solution: Execute the Bulk Change Set before assigning dependencies between objects.

  • A Bulk Change Set that references a new object before the Bulk Change Set is saved. For example:
    • A user creates a Bulk Change Set and adds a new agent and a new skill to the Additions section.
    • The user does not save the Bulk Change Set and attempts to assign the new skill to the new agent.
    • The user cannot select the new objects until the Bulk Change Set is saved.

Solution: Save the Bulk Change Set before referencing the new object.
