This release also includes the following correction and modification:
IVR Server Client now correctly returns userdata that includes latin characters such as É, Ó, Ú, and Ñ to the Call Flow Assistant (CFA). Previously, if IVR Server Client and PopGateway were on separate hosts, these characters were converted to Basic String (BSTR) incorrectly before being sent to the CFA by using Webnotify.asp. If the IVR Server Client and PopGateway were on the same host, Webnotify.asp was not used and UTF-8 characters were sent correctly. (ER# 275986613)

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:
IVR Server Client now sends the DEVICE DOWN request to Call Flow Assistant (CFA) asynchronously when the IVR Server stops during attempts to attach data. Previously in this scenario, CFA sent the attach data request synchronously, then waited for the response. If the IVR Server stopped, CFA did not respond, causing ports to be unavailable.

IVR Server Client now sends an ISVR_END_SESSION message to Call Flow Assistant (CFA) asynchronously when it receives an XferComplete, or a Released call status request from IVR Server. Previously, IVR Server Client waited for a response to the XferComplete, or the Released call status requests from CFA which caused deadlock situations. (ER# 206087158)
Supported Operating Systems

Corrections and Modifications
This release is under shipping control. This section describes new features that were introduced in this release of Genesys Voice Platform IVR Server Client.
When GVP is configured to operate in In-Front mode, a new configuration parameter enables you to specify the call setup event (either Established or Ringing) that the IVR Server Client will wait to receive from the IVR Server, before the IVR Server Client sends the call information request for the connection ID and sends the required response to the Call Flow Assistant (CFA).
To activate this feature:
Servers > IVR Server Client > <IVR Server Client host> nodes.<Reseller_Customer_GQA> node, and then select Edit.General tab, click Add New Attribute.CallSetupEventRinging or EstablishedEstablished.Save.
Note: If GVP is configured to operate in In-Front mode but the IVR Server in your deployment is configured to be behind the switch, set the CallSetupEvent parameter to Ringing. This ensures that the IVR Server Client will not time out waiting for the Established event, which it will not receive in this configuration.

This is a hot fix for this product. This release does not contain any new features or functionality.
This release also includes the following corrections and modifications:
IVR Server Client now sends an EndCall to the IVR Server and removes the call details for the call, if it timesout while waiting for either a Ringing or an Established event from the IVR Server. Previously, when IVR Server Client would timeout while waiting for a Ringing or an Established event, it would not send the EndCall to the IVR Server at that point, but would only send a success back to the CFA, which resulted in stuck sessions on the IVR Server Client.

Corrections and Modifications
This release is under shipping control. This section describes new features that were introduced in the initial 7.6 release of Genesys Voice Platform IVR Server Client.
This release includes the following corrections and modifications that were made between Release 7.5 or earlier releases and the initial 7.6 release:
VCS and IPCS now supports Primary/Backup IVR Server Client functionality for Behind-the-Switch deployments of GVP.
To take advantage of this feature, you must specify the primary and backup IVR Server Clients using the I-Server Client URL and Backup I-Server Client URL parameters in the CFA section of EMPS.
If a backup IVR Server Client (IVRSC) is specified, the VCS and IPCS behavior is as follows:
Note: IVRSCs provisioned as Primary IVR Server Client and Secondary IVR Server Client at the Customer level are not used by the VCS and IPCS. Instead, each VCS and IPCS uses the Primary and Backup IVR Server Client URLs that are configured in its own CFA section. However, because of an EMPS limitation, you must still provision each IVRSC at the Customer level as either Primary or Secondary IVRSC. Otherwise, EMPS will not update the gvp.ini file properly and the IVRSCs will not start.
(ER# 29376561)
When configured in Network mode,
IVR Server Client now sends the CallInfoResp attribute to IVR Server
to request the Connection ID of the call. Previously, the IVR Server Client
did not request the Connection ID causing the Voice Application Reporter not
to report on UUID. (ER# 119822091)
The IVR Server details are now created in EMPS under the Servers > ISVR node. Previously, the IVR Server information was not updated in EMPS when the IVR Server details were configured in the GVP Deployment Tool (GDT). (ER# 118291541)
