routing-timeout

Section: settings
Default Value: 720
Valid Values: Any integer from 20 to 525,600 (one year)
Changes Take Effect: Immediately for all new interactions submitted to URS


Specifies the timeout, in minutes, for any interaction to remain with URS before its routing is considered a failure.

handling-timeout

Section: settings
Default Value: 180
Valid Values: Any integer from 1 to 1,440 (24 hours)
Changes Take Effect: Immediately


Specifies the handling timeout (in minutes) for any interaction that an agent handles. If no requests are received from the agent who handles the interaction during this time interval, the agent application is considered inactive and the interaction is revoked and returned to the queue. This option applies to requests between the desktop application and Interaction Server only. Value changes do not affect interactions that are already being handled. The same option might be specified in interaction user data or media type options. The first found option is taken into consideration with the following check order: 1. The value of the “handling-timeout” key in user data of an interaction. 2. The media type option “settings/ handling-timeout”. 3. This “handling-timeout” IXN Server option.

delivering-timeout

Section: settings
Default Value: 30
Valid Values: Any integer from 1 to 86,400 (24 hours)
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Modified: 8.5.201.05

Specifies the timeout, in seconds, for an agent to accept an interaction that is being delivered to him or her. If the agent does not respond before the timeout expires, the interaction is revoked and returned to the queue from which it was taken by Universal Routing Server.

Interaction Server Limitations

  • Interaction Server does not support the following requests:
    • RequestQueryServer
    • RequestQueryLocation
    • RequestDeletePair (when URS sends this request after RequestRouteCall)
  • It is not desirable to run Interaction Server in an environment in which servers and clients differ as to the codepages used (by operating systems or databases). In such an environment, characters of non-Latin alphabets may appear as the symbol ? (question mark) in log files and in applications with a user interface, such as Agent Desktop. The functionality of other features of the solution may also be restricted or compromised.
  • Making an on-the-fly change to the host or port specification (on the Server Info tab) of a backup Interaction Server will cause it to exit.
  • When Interaction Server sends a database request right before disconnecting from DB Server, and the request executes after disconnecting, Interaction Server fails to generate events to clients for submitted interactions.
  • Starting in release 8.1.3, the scripts supplied with Interaction Server for Oracle databases create the flexible_properties field with the type BLOB. To support this feature, you must use DB server 8.1.1 and above with Oracle client 10.2 and above.
  • Take these precautions when configuring Interaction Server for high availability (HA).
  • The interaction state timeouts set by the following options are not exact and can be delayed for up to 10 seconds due to the way they are implemented.
  • You cannot use commas ( , ) and semicolons ( ; ) in interaction queue names.

Interaction Ordering in Clusters

For the ordering of interactions to work correctly in RequestGetWorkbinContent, RequestFindInteractions and RequestTakeSnaphot in cluster environments, the following conditions must be met:

  • All Interaction Server nodes in the cluster must use the same type of database.
  • The database encoding and collation must be the same for all the databases used by Interaction Server.
  • The encoding used by all the cluster nodes must be the same. Genesys recommends using UTF-8 for Interaction Server. (Interaction Server Proxy neither requires nor allows setting UTF-8 specifically).
  • The ordering may contain only predefined interaction properties (a list is provided below) and defined interaction custom properties. The field names may also be used interchangeably with the corresponding property names.

In addition, these conditions are important because the Business Process definition (view conditions and orders) may be specific to the particular database type, and all nodes within the cluster use the same business process.

Below is a list of the field names and corresponding predefined interaction property names that can be used in the attributes that specify interaction order:

Field name Property name
abandoned_at AbandonedAt
assigned_at AssignedAt
assigned_to AssignedTo
completed_at CompletedAt
delivered_at DeliveredAt
external_id ExternalId
held_at HeldAt

media_type MediaType

parent_id ParentId
place_in_queue_seq PlaceInQueueSeq
placed_in_queue_at PlacedInQueueAt
