What's New

This release contains the following new features and enhancements:

  • Resource Manager (RM) has three new options in the CTI Connector (CTIC) Logical Resource Group (LRG) for handling CTIC failover.

    Important: These options are not available during configuration of a CTIC Resource Group via Genesys Administrator. You must specify them manually in the CTIC LRG.

    fail-over-cti-handling
    Valid Values: reject (default), answer, script;<service-type>;<URL>
    Takes Effect: After restart

    This option specifies RM behavior when all attempts to use CTIC fail. For example: all CTICs are down, or port capacity of the CTIC LRG is exceeded, or all CTICs in the LRG were tried but failed.

    • Set to reject to reject the call.
    • Set to answer to answer the call.
    • Set to script;<service-type>;<URL> to specify that RM redirects the call to the service <service-type> and informs that service to run the page at the URL (same behavior as rm.cti-unavailable-action).


    cti-unavailable-respcode
    Valid Values: No value specified (default), none, SIP response codes for which next CTI resource should not be retried.
    Takes Effect: After restart

    • Specifies a list of response codes to be intercepted and given special treatment. Separate each code in the list with a semicolon (;).
      If CTIC returns a response code matching a code provided in the list, RM does not retry any other CTIC; instead RM takes action based on the group-level option cti-unavailable-action, or based on the server-level option rm.cti-unavailable-action.
    • When set to empty or none, RM retries the next CTIC available in the CTI LRG in response to any error from CTIC.
    • When no value is specified, RM checks the server-level parameter rm.cti-unavailable-respcode and takes the action specified there.

    Note: cti-unavailable-respcode overrides the server parameter rm.cti-unavailable-respcode.

    cti-unavailable-action
    Valid Values: reject (default), answer, script;<service-type>;<URL>
    Takes Effect: After restart

    Specifies the behavior expected when the SIP response code received from CTIC matches a response code that is configured in rm.cti-unavailable-respcode.

    • Set to reject to reject the call.
    • Set to answer to answer the call.
    • Set to script;<service-type>;<URL> to specify that RM redirects the call to the service <service-type> and informs that service to run the page at the URL (same behavior as rm.cti-unavailble-action).

    When no value is specified, RM uses the server-level parameter rm.cti-unavailable-action.

    Note: This option overrides rm.cti-unavailable-action.

  • The TCP setup timer is now configurable.
Use sip.transport.setuptimer.tcp parameter in the proxy, monitor, subscription, and registrar sections to configure the timer.
Default Value : 30000ms (30 seconds)
Minimum Value: 1000 ms
Maximum Value: 32000 ms

Resolved Issues

This release contains the following resolved issues:


Resource Manager no longer becomes unresponsive due to a race condition which may occur when the statuses of multiple physical resource AORs being monitored while using SIP OPTIONS are updated simultaneously. (GVP-22865)


Resource Manager no longer drops packets because they have been incorrectly categorized as non-RFC3261 compliant. (GVP-22728)


Resource Manager no longer generates -301 errors that cause it to drop messages. Previously, RM generated -301 errors because the TCP message queue limit was exceeded due to a race condition. (GVP-22707)


Resource Manager now properly closes the current socket connection before accepting a new socket connection. (GVP-22660)


Resource Manager no longer becomes stuck under these conditions:

  • The option monitor-method is set to MF for an LRG
  • An SCS resource status update (online or offline) is received at the same time as a dynamic configuration update such as IVR profile or configuration/tenant properties update. (GVP-22629)

Resource Manager now maintains the correct number of calls forwarded to an MCP for both nodes in an active-active setup, when the number exceeds the Max Ports value that is defined in the LRG. (GVP-22586)


Resource Manager (RM) no longer terminates at the place in the CTI call flow where RM returns to non-CTI handling of the call, when all of these conditions occur:

  • RM receives an error code that was configured in the option rm.cti-unavailable-respcode.
  • rm.cti-unavailable-action is set to answer or script.
  • The TerminatingLeg initiated by CTIC is not cleared.

(GVP-22585)


Resource Manager now correctly returns a 503 error response to SIP OPTION messages from SIP Server, when RM is in a suspended state. (GVP-22581)


Resource Manager now remains fully available while recording calls even when tenant configuration updates are received simultaneously. Previously RM terminated in this scenario because of application unavailability. (GVP-22525)


Resource Manager MIB data (stored in a scalar table) for an active-active deployment mode now reflects the correct number when RM is run in a high availability active-active configuration. (GVP-20257)
