New in This Release

This is a hot fix for this product. This release does not contain new features or functionality.

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:


The Adapter now correctly loads all media plugins. Previously, the application sometimes terminated unexpectedly while media libraries loaded. Genesys recommends updating the Adapter to the current version together with the Gplus Adapter for Siebel CRM Multimedia component. (GPSBL-5462)


The Adapter now correctly establishes connections between GenCommDrv and GenCommServer. Previously, the GenCommDrv did not connect to the GenCommServer during the 4 hours right before the current time representation in milliseconds resets to zero. It happens every 49.7 days according to the starting point. For UNIX, the count-down starting point depends on the system clock and is January 1, 1970. This issue affected only UNIX-type operating systems. (GPSBL-5461)

New in This Release

There are no restrictions for this release. This release contains the following new features or functionality:

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:


The Adapter now correctly handles User Data with empty values. Previously that User Data wasn't passed to T-Server, for example, in RequestInitiateTransfer. (GPSBL-5303)


The Adapter no longer contains hard coded messages that appear on the Siebel User Interface. Previously, the Adapter included such messages, which meant that they were not translated when a Language Pack was used. (GPSBL-5302)


The Basic HTTP Authentication feature now works as expected in the Adapter. Previously, if the GenCommDrv.pwd file contained only one string and it did not include a carriage return at the end, the Basic HTTP Authentication feature didn't work. (GPSBL-5285)


The Adapter now correctly restores connections between GenCommDrv and GenCommServer. Previously, in very rare specific scenarios, like heavy network issues or the Adapter was heavily overloaded, some connections were not restored. (GPSBL-5269)


The Adapter now correctly handles outbound records that are automatically processed by Outbound Contact Server. For example, with this correction, when OCS automatically processes records after the ACW (After Call Work) time ends, the Adapter automatically processes them as well. Previously, the Adapter did not process those records correctly, which resulted in the Agent state remaining in the ACW mode when the agent was in the Ready state. (GPSBL-4876)

The Adapter now maintains network connections as expected. Previously, network connections unexpectedly broke down every 49.7 days according to the starting point. For Unix, the count-down starting point depends on the system clock and is January 1, 1970. For Windows, the count-down starting point is the application start time. (GPSBL-5187)


The Adapter now correctly handles network disconnects between Genesys Communication Driver and Genesys Communication Server. Previously upon a network disconnect between Genesys Communication Driver and Genesys Communication Server, Genesys Communication Server experienced an excessive load which caused an unnecessary performance degradation.

The Adapter now correctly recreates an agent session following a network connection disruption. Previously, when a disruption occurred (like a connection timeout), the Adapter recreated the session twice rather than once. In addition, the agent toolbar was still active even though the connection timeout occurred. (GPSBL-5221)


The Adapter now correctly recreates agent sessions after the connection between Genesys Communication Driver and Genesys Communication Server fails. Previously, Genesys Communication Driver did not always recreate the agent sessions. (GPSBL-5232)

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:


To support SIP BC functionality, the Adapter now switches to an alternate Disaster Recovery site when SIP Server on the Preferred site is unavailable. Previously, the Adapter remained on the Preferred site when SIP Server was unavailable and, as a result, would prevent agents from logging in. (GPSBL-5164)


On Unix systems, the Adapter now correctly reads driver-side .ini files like GenCommBC.ini.. Previously, on Unix systems, the Adapter only read driver-side files if they were prepended with lib, like libGenCommBC.ini. (GPSBL-5169)

In the Adapter, if the connection between GenCommServer and GenCommDriver is broken and then restored, the agent now receives the same workitems as before the connection was broken. Previously in this scenario, the Adapter did not restore workitems for the agent. (ER# 235577211)


The transfer operation of a Push Preview workitem that is associated with a call that cannot be transferred (for example, the call is on hold) is enabled and now works incorrectly. The transfer operation must be disabled in this scenario. The workaround that was documented in Release 8.0.000.13 is no longer required. (ER# 264479361)

Genesys Communication Server (GenCommServ) was updated to correctly handle EventError events. Previously, Genesys Communication Server terminated unexpectedly if the EventError message was received while an agent was trying to logout. (ER# 243414586)


The Communication Sessions Manager.AcceptWorkItem parameter is now handled correctly. Previously, Genesys Communication Server terminated unexpectedly when the Communication Sessions Manager.AcceptWorkItem parameter was called from the EventHandler:OpenMediaInvitedMR event handler. (ER# 227744933)


Genesys Communication Server was updated to correctly handle User Data. Previously, Genesys Communication Server terminated unexpectedly if the size of the User Data attached to the call was greater than or equal (>=) to 10 kilobytes. (ER# 218783627)


Genesys Communication Server was updated to correctly handle backup Genesys Communication Server failover scenarios. Previously, after a failover, the backup Genesys Communication Server sent EventDialing and EventEstablished events for existing inbound call as a result of a RecreateService processing request from Genesys Communication Driver (GenCommDrv). (ER# 218589179)


This release of the Adapter corrects an issue related to Genesys Configuration Server shutting down and restarting. Previously, when the Genesys Configuration Server shut down and then restarted, the CPU usage was at 50%. (ER# 217650710)
