This deployment procedure applies to the 7.6.100.39 Hot Fix release of Interaction Concentrator, released 03/31/11. It describes how to deploy Interaction Concentrator using the package you received from Genesys via FTP.
To deploy this installation package within a new environment, follow the instructions in the Interaction Concentrator 7.6 Deployment Guide—but be sure to execute all the scripts listed in the Database Scripts section below.
To deploy the package within your existing 7.6.x or 7.5.x Interaction Concentrator environment, perform the following steps:
Create a backup of your attached-data configuration file.
You can locate this file, by default named ccon_adata_spec.xml,
in the directory where Interaction Concentrator (ICON) is
installed.
Note: If you have customized the gudCustDISP1 or gudCustDISP2 dispatcher stored procedures and saved them with the default (Genesys-provided) names, back up the procedures and restore them after the upgrade.
Depending on your current environment, do one of the following:
If you are upgrading ICON in an environment with Genesys
Info Mart, and Genesys Info Mart has already been extracting
data from the Interaction Concentrator database (IDB)
into which the existing ICON application stores data,
do not create a new ICON Application object
in the Configuration Layer. Instead, use the existing
ICON Application object. Refer to the Genesys
Info Mart 7.6 Operations Guide for more information.
If you are upgrading from 7.5.x release of ICON in an environment without Genesys Info Mart:
Import the application template for ICON 7.6.x.
Create and configure a new ICON 7.6.x Application
object.
Application object. Note, however, that you must add any new configuration options and set them to the desired values if you want to implement functionality that is controlled by new options.
Run the setup file (install.sh or setup.exe) provided in your installation package.
Use Genesys Solution Control Interface to stop ICON, if it is running.
Note: The content of the persistent queue file (icon_**.pq) will be lost as a result of the upgrade. Do not back up the persistent queue file. To minimize the loss of data, perform the upgrade when the contact center load is minimal.
(Optional) Back up IDB. Genesys recommends backing up IDB, but only if it is feasible to do so without prolonging the service interruption to an unacceptable extent. Backing up a very large IDB (while ICON is stopped) may interrupt data collection for a long period of time.
Using the database scripts created as a result of the installation, upgrade IDB as described in the Database Scripts section.
Restore the attached-data configuration file:
If necessary, update the attached-data configuration file (from Step 1) as required to implement the new functionality provided by ICON 7.6. For more information, see the chapter about attached data in the Interaction Concentrator 7.6 User�s Guide.
Copy your file to replace the one in the folder where you deployed ICON 7.6.100.39.
Use Genesys Solution Control Interface to start ICON.
Verify that ICON 7.6.100.39 runs properly by checking the log for errors.
If you have multiple ICON applications, repeat this procedure for each instance.
If you are deploying this installation package in a new environment, note that the database initialization procedure differs from the one that is described in the Interaction Concentrator 7.6 Deployment Guide.
Use the table and instructions in this section to either initialize or upgrade IDB:
For a new deployment, execute the scripts in the order
specified in the New Install. column.
For an upgrade from a previous ICON release, execute the scripts in the order specified in the Upgrade Order column for your particular release.
Note: In the table, the abbreviation N/A indicates that a given script is not applicable to (should not be executed for) a given release.
Using the Database Scripts Table
Click one of the cells in the table below to display a release-specific table that lists the scripts you must execute and the order in which to execute them to install or upgrade to ICON 7.6.100.39:
For a new deployment, click the New Install. cell, and
execute the scripts in the order specified in the table that displays.
For an upgrade from a previous Interaction Concentrator release, click
the Upgrade Order cell for the particular release from which
you want to upgrade, and execute the scripts in the order specified in the
table that displays.
To return to the main table from a release-specific table, click the New Install. or Upgrade Order cell.
To fully expand a release-specific table to include all the releases listed in the main table, click the Script Name cell.
Click the Script Name cell again to return to the main table.

Interaction Concentrator 7.6 Deployment Guide provides a high-level overview of Interaction Concentrator, deployment-planning materials, and deployment procedures.
Interaction Concentrator 7.6 User�s Guide provides information about Interaction Concentrator functionality, including IDB architecture, models used in Interaction Concentrator, attached data processing, available stored procedures, and integration with other Genesys products.
Interaction Concentrator 7.6 Physical Data Model for each supported RDBMS provides database schema with table and field descriptions for a particular IDB.
Framework 7.6 Combined Log Events Help describes log events generated by every Genesys server application, including Interaction Concentrator.
If you encounter any issues with the deployment of this package, please contact Genesys Technical Support.
Product documentation is also provided on a Documentation Library DVD, which is produced monthly. The New Documents on this DVD page on the DVD indicates the DVD production date. Because the DVD is produced monthly, documentation on the Technical Support website may be more up-to-date than that on the DVD.
