Oz (3.6.000.26)

Release Date Release Type Restrictions AIX Linux Solaris Windows
08/11/2017 Hot Fix X

What's New

This release does not include new features or functionalities:

  • WebIVR applications can now use MicroApps powered by the Genesys Widgets framework. An agent using Genesys Workspace to chat with a customer can insert a specific URL into the conversation that the customer clicks to open the MicroApp. These MicroApps can solve various business objectives, such as securely collecting a customer's credit-card number without requiring the customer to give this number directly to the agent.
  • Reporting uses the following database performance improvements to provide additional flexibility and reduce the risk of call problems under load:
    • The save method can now insert all call steps in bulk instead of one at a time (the default is one at a time).
    • The backlog save and store functions now run in a separate thread.
    You can configure the following server settings related to these improvements:
    • EndOfCall.Processor.ThreadCount - Specifies the maximum number of concurrent threads (inserts) allowed at one time.
    • EndOfCall.Processor.ShutdownWaitInMilliseconds - Specifies the time, in milliseconds, for the thread executor to wait before terminating all inserts that are currently being executed.
    • EndOfCall.Processor.ThreadPoolQueue - Specifies the maximum number of threads that the thread connection pool executor can hold in the queue at one time, before sending calls directly to the backlog (pool exhaustion).
    • EndOfCall.Processor.CallStepsInsertBatchSize - Specifies the maximum number of call steps to send in batches for inserting into the database. The default value, 1, provides similar performance to previous releases. (Note: Genesys recommends that you only increase this value if network latency causes excessive write times due to many individual inserts. If network latency is not a concern, the default value of 1 provides faster overall throughput. Furthermore, Genesys recommends that you do not use a value higher than 30 to ensure you do not exceed the insert limit of the SQL Server.)
    Note: Terminating inserts that are currently being executed only leads to data loss if the call information has not been previously backlogged.
  • Customer Journeys now feature the following enhancements to provide more granular control of what is rendered on-screen:
    • A new default server setting, Reporting.CustomerJourneys.MaxJourneysPerReport, specifies the maximum number of unique journeys returned from the database.
    • A new option, Number of Journeys Displayed per Report, specifies how many journeys to generate. If not specified, GAAP uses the value of Reporting.CustomerJourneys.MaxJourneysPerReport.
    • A new option, Order Journeys by Popularity, specifies whether to sort journeys by order of most popular or least popular.
    • A new option, Number of Journey Steps per Customer Journey, specifies to only display journeys that contain steps between the specified values. By default, the minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 9999.
  • The Integration Hub enables faster and more robust integration between GAAP and external systems. Using Groovy script, you can create, deploy, and maintain integration into backend systems by using the GAAP user interface. For example, you can set up a connection to an external RESTful interface, add business logic, and have that information appear in GAAP.
  • The Hive-Off process now has an automatic recovery mechanism. If there is a failure, the Hive-Off process attempts to rectify the database state and restart the process. The following default server settings have been added to configure this process:
    • DBOvernightJobs.MaxNumHiveOffRetries - Specifies how many times the Hive-Off attempts to restart after a failure. The default value is 5. Set this value to 0 to disable the recovery process.
    • DBOverNightJobs.HiveOffWindowInMinutes - Specifies the length of time from when the first Hive-Off attempt begins to when GAAP disallows additional Hive-Off attempts. The default value is 360. For example, if the first Hive-Off attempt begins at 2 a.m., by default GAAP allows additional Hive-Off attempts until 8 a.m.
    • DBOvernightJobs.DeleteOldHistoricalData.GroupSize - Specifies how many rows to include in each batch deletion of old historical data. Previously, this deletion was performed as a single transaction. The default value is 10000 rows.
  • This release includes security enhancements to protect against certain forms of cross-site scripting. (SPCHSTRM-627)
  • You can now list, export, and import visual personas in the same manner as voice personas. Specifically, you can:
    • List visual persona prompts using the Manage Prompts window.
    • Export all personas for a module or application.
    • Import a generated prompt list spreadsheet for a particular module or application that contains an updated visual persona prompt list.
    • Note: To upload .xlsx files, you must ensure the default server setting Resources.AllowedUploadContentTypes includes the following value: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet.
  • You can now pass context from a call to WebIVR using either query string parameters or a hash code taken from the database. Previously, you had to include the hash code. Additionally, you can include only the query string parameters if the WebIVR.Hash.PerformHashCheck setting is false.
  • You can now access Help documentation by clicking the help icon in the top-right corner of the user interface.
  • GAAP now uses additional security restrictions to avoid potential denial-of-service attacks with Messaging Server components. A new default server setting, Messaging.API.MaximumAllowedCharactersPerMessage, specifies the maximum number of characters that can be present in a single message. The default value is 20000.
  • The following default server settings have changed:
    • The setting GraphViz.AllowOverrides is now set to true by default. This setting enables Customer Journeys graphs to render in a higher resolution.
    • The setting GraphViz.CustomerJourney.SplitRender is now set to true by default. This change prevents Customers Journeys graphs from rendering deleted modules and applications.
      Note You can set GraphViz.CustomerJourney.SplitRender to false if you want to render deleted modules and applications, but doing so reduces rendering performance.
  • Database transaction log file sizes have been reduced by excluding the index NC_historicalcalls_voiceplatformfullcallid from the list of indexes that are disabled and rebuilt after each nightly hive-off process.
  • The Script block editor page is now scrollable for improved usability.

Resolved Issues

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:

  • Backlog processing no longer fails if the process attempts to reinsert a failed call that contains an empty CLI value. (SPCHSTRM-662)
  • GAAP now clears dynamic menu options from the callflow if an error prevents the Script block from completing successfully. For example: You used the command context.addExtraMenuOption() in a Script block to generate dynamic menu options and the Script block encounters an error, which requires a subsequent Menu or Question block to handle the error. GAAP now clears the dynamic menu options and does not apply them to the subsequent Menu or Question blocks, allowing the error-handling process to continue as expected. (SPCHSTRM-586)
  • GAAP now correctly imports modules that contain a large number of DataObjects. Previously, these modules might have caused Oracle databases to run slowly or require a restart. (SPCHSTRM-576)
  • The Virtual Call feature now correctly displays variable values if you have already set values for attached data in the Start block and you select Show Full Details. Previously, these variables were not displayed when Show Full Details was selected for the Start block. (SPCHSTRM-573)
  • When designing a WebIVR theme, the preview window now automatically reflects changes made in the Override CSS section. (SPCHSTRM-572)
  • Text now aligns as specified when designing themes for use with WebIVR applications. (SPCHSTRM-571)
  • If you change an item in the color palette of a WebIVR theme, the change now propagates to any selector values that had used the previous color. (SPCHSTRM-564)
  • GAAP now sets a secure flag to ensure cookies from WebIVR applications are not transmitted when using an insecure connection.
    • Note: If Messaging Server is set to use HTTPS and is later changed to HTTP, GAAP overwrites the secure cookie with a non-secure cookie, and assigns a new virtual CLI to the customer. (SPCHSTRM-553)
  • WebIVR cookies used over non-secure connections are now only used for server-side processing. (SPCHSTRM-552)
  • GAAP now disables the browser's autocomplete feature for password fields. (SPCHSTRM-548)
  • GAAP can now import Excel spreadsheets without requiring the user to manually configure server settings. (SPCHSTRM-514)
  • Migration scripts now run additional checks to protect against database exceptions during the migration process. (SPCHSTRM-489)
  • Text no longer overlaps on the login screen if you are using a non-English display language. (SPCHSTRM-485)
  • WebIVR themes now properly apply changes to the Text Input Fields selector. (SPCHSTRM-479)
  • Email appenders have been removed from the default logging configuration. Previously, these email appenders might have negatively affected login performance. (SPCHSTRM-474)
  • GAAP now loads personas from the database at startup. Previously, GAAP did not load personas until the first call was received, which could cause an error if the persona failed to load in time. (SPCHSTRM-403)
  • Module parameters now display correctly in the Module Details tab, even if the parameters are out of sync with parent modules. (SPCHSTRM-331)
  • GAAP now displays an error message if you try to open a WebIVR application but WebIVR has not been set up correctly (for example, if a server domain name has been entered incorrectly). (SPCHSTRM-322)
  • Changes to a WebIVR theme now display immediately in the user's browser window. Previously, the old theme might have displayed due to a caching issue. (SPCHSTRM-307)
  • In the Users view, you can only view and edit other users who have role privileges equal to or less than your own. (SPCHSTRM-227)

Nolan (3.5.100.04)

Release Date Release Type Restrictions AIX Linux Solaris Windows
03/03/2017 General X

What's New

This release includes the following new features and functionalities:

  • This release adds a wide range of security enhancements.
  • GAAP now uses the following end-call handling if data is attached after a hang-up event:
    • The license is released.
    • The attached data is added to the cti_fields database cell in the database.
    • A WARN statement is added to the logs.
    Note: As the call has disconnected in this scenario, user-interaction blocks are not used or supported. The Menu or Question block in which the caller hung up has a result of hangup, but subsequent blocks have a result in line with their end state (for example, success, error, and so on).
  • If a database error occurs, GAAP now checks the SQL state against a comma-separated list specified in the following default server settings:
    • Backlog.BackLoggableErrorsList.ExactMatch
    • Backlog.BackLoggableErrorsList.StartsWith
    Errors that are not specified in this list are logged for easier debugging, if available.
  • WebIVR now uses smoother theme transitions. Additionally, themes change only when necessary, resulting in reduced network bandwidth.
  • Journeys tables in the database now use the data type nvarchar for faster and more efficient processing.
  • You can now set the following preferences per block or as a global default:
    • Always confidential variables - A list of comma-separated confidential variables that GAAP must not log when these variables are returned from web services.
    • Confidential variables to send - A list of comma-separated confidential variables that GAAP is permitted to send to web services for processing.
  • You can now use the following server settings to control masking of confidential variable values in Call Monitor and Database recognition results:
    • Reporting.Masking.ReplacementChar - Specify the character to use for masking. Default is X.
    • Reporting.Masking.StringLengthBeforeApplyingUnmasking - Specify the minimum string length before using unmasked characters. Default is 13.
    • Reporting.Masking.MaxUnmaskedChars - Specify the maximum number of characters to unmask, up to string length. Default is 4.
    Note: You cannot mask values that are attached to calls and hence viewable by agents. Therefore, you must ensure this attached data does not include sensitive values, such as PIN numbers, as these values still appear unmasked in the cti_fields database cell.
  • GAAP applications now use only HTTPS webpages. In addition, the Control Center uses an "always redirect" level of HTTPS enforcement.
  • You can use the server setting FilteredPrompts.Display.MaxNumRows to specify the number of rows to display when searching prompts. This setting ensures your web browser is not overloaded if your search returns a high number of results.
  • GAAP now ignores WIRE logging configuration in the log4j.properties file and sets as WARN, unless the HttpClient.Logging.PermitWireLogging default server setting is enabled.
  • You can now use the HSTS protocol for all HTTPS requests in the domain. You can enable this feature using the following GUI server settings:
    • Security.HSTS.Enabled = true
    • Security.HSTS.MaxAgeSeconds = 600
    • Security.HSTS.IncludeSubDomains = true
    • Security.HSTS.PreloadInBrowser = false
    Note: You must also add the GAAP self-signed certificate to the server's Trusted Authorities folder.
  • When the hive-off process starts, each GUI server now queries the configuration database to identify the primary GUI. This prevents the possibility of stale caches causing multiple GUI hive-offs.
  • WebIVR now uses a context-sensitive keypad on mobile devices. For example, if the customer is asked to input numbers, WebIVR displays the numeric keypad.
  • The Reports view now checks whether a nightly database job is in progress before it allows you to generate reports. This prevents unnecessary database load while maintenance is occurring.

Resolved Issues

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:

  • The Theme Previewer now correctly updates according to the selected theme being edited. (SPCHSTRM-375)
  • Virtual calls now end correctly if you enable the Skip blocks where no input is needed from the caller checkbox. Previously, the GUI log showed an error on the final page if you used this setting, due to a duplicate attempt at the completion redirect. (SPCHSTRM-363)
  • WebIVR session links now open correctly if the link was sent from a voice session with a non-default persona. (SPCHSTRM-352)
  • GAAP now checks the MIME type of uploaded files against a configurable list of acceptable MIME types. (SPCHSTRM-335)
  • Multimodal sessions now end gracefully if Orchestration Server returns a 200 response with error JSON. The call ends, the session is invalidated, and the license is returned for reuse by another call. (SPCHSTRM-334)
  • The MaxAllowed default value is now +96 for the Credit Card Expiry grammar. (SPCHSTRM-314)
  • GAAP now properly displays the text that appears for Whisper Transfers in Facebook. (SPCHSTRM-313)
  • Credit card numbers are now repeated correctly if you are using a Payment Capture module that is set to confirm the inputted card number with the caller. Previously, the module might have prepended an unrelated digit to the actual credit card number when it was repeated back to the caller. (SPCHSTRM-305)
  • Background images now appear correctly when you view them in the WebIVR Themes Previewer. (SPCHSTRM-299)
  • In the Administration > Phone Numbers tab, GAAP now displays a more informative validation message if you attempt to save a blank phone number rule set. (SPCHSTRM-291)
  • The hive-off process now rebuilds the index NC_historicalcalls_voiceplatformfullcallid before completion. (SPCHSTRM-289)
  • The end-of-call database write process now implements the following changes:
    • The query that tries to find a journey matching the current call now has a timeout to ensure the query does not run for too long.
    • If an error occurs when finding or inserting a journey, the call is now written to the backlog automatically to preserve the call data.
      (SPCHSTRM-288)
  • Informative error messages now display in the WebIVR Themes Previewer if the previewer fails to load due to:
    • Mixed protocols between the GUI server and the previewer.
    • The GUI not being set as an allowed domain.
      (SPCHSTRM-286)
  • Facebook bots still respond if you enter a blank string on a menu. (SPCHSTRM-276)
  • Failed call records now correctly enter the backlog queue if the database pool is exhausted. If the server setting Backlog.TreatAllFailuresAsBackloggable is set to true, GAAP writes all database exception errors to the backlog. If set to false, GAAP writes only certain database exception errors to the backlog as before. (SPCHSTRM-273)
  • Load Balancer servers now correctly implement TLS 1.2. Previously, Load Balancer servers used TLS 1.0, even if HttpClient.Security.SupportedProtocols was set to use TLS 1.2. (SPCHSTRM-248)
  • WebIVR now correctly removes the [pause] placeholder from prompts. (SPCHSTRM-234)

Lynch (3.3.1)

What's New

This release includes the following new features and functionalities:

  • Added support for Windows Server 2012 R2.
  • Added support for SQL Server 2012 Database.
  • Added support for seventeen "Silver" (Medium) level Concatenated Prompt Recording (CPR) packs. This significantly adds to our previous CPR packs which were:
    • Gold (Full): English, American-English and Mexican-Spanish.
    • Bronze (Basic): English and French
    Dynamic prompt recordings are used to playback numbers, dates, times, currencies and alphanumeric strings. This is achieved through concatenating audio files. In the Bronze (basic) CPR pack there are less than 150 audio files. In the Silver (medium) CPR pack there are between 750 -1000 audio files depending on the language. In the Gold (Full) CPR pack there are between 3000-4000 audio files.
    The Silver and Gold packs expand on the Bronze pack so that fewer concatenations are necessary. This results in smoother and more natural sounding playback. The audio files are to be recorded by the customer using the same voice artist as that for the static prompts.
    The new Silver CPR packs are listed below
