New in This Release

This release is under shipping control. This section describes new features that were introduced in this release of Genesys Mobile Services.

• GMS now supports Load Balancing features for Orchestration Server (ORS):
  • Ability to configure a list of ORS URLs in the _ors option of the orchestration-based service.
  • Ability to configure load balancing strategies through the _ors_lb_strategy option:
    • Support a Linear hunt strategy where requests are always delivered to the first available node in the ORS list.
    • Support a Circular hunt strategy where requests are delivered in a round robin fashion to the ORS list.
  • Ability to configure the maximum request attempts for ORS load balancing through the max_ors_request_attempts option.
  • Ability to allow the customer's load balancer to detect GMS node failure by configuring a new service type. The returned code for ONLINE/OFFLINE status is configurable.
• GMS now supports the following operational metrics:
  • DNIS resource pool usage and availability.
  • Average handle time by resource pool.
  • Ability to report on historical service terminations.
• GMS now supports Cookie-based management.
  • Ability to store ORS cookies for a given service id. GMS will use ORS-generated cookies in subsequent requests to the same service.
• Javascript samples are now available.
• The request-interaction service now includes the _return_pool_health parameter, which allows for real-time access to DNIS pool allocation information.
• The GMS Callback license now ships with the Genesys Media Server CD to provide Call Progress Detection functionality, based on the latest changes in the Media Server licensing.

---

The Service API no longer allows the user to overwrite service configuration options by passing them as request parameters. (GMS-830)
