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 also includes the following corrections and modifications:


In previous releases, the aggregation process stopped and would not restart without GIM restart whenever GIM configuration options were changed dynamically. Under these circumstances, errors similar to the following were logged:

15:33:54.575 Agg.Main		Synchronizing time ranges, options or disabled hierarchies
15:33:54.575 Agg.Main		Unable to synchronize time ranges, options or disabled hierarchies
15:33:54.575 Agg.Main		java.lang.NullPointerException

This version corrects this behavior. (ER# 274364795)

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 also includes the following corrections and modifications:


No longer will you see the GIM Server fail with an out-of-memory error because of repeated aggregation restarts where the restarts are issued manually, via the configured GIM aggregation schedule, or via GIM maintenance (which also indirectly restarts aggregation). (ER# 273147313)

Supported Operating Systems

The operating systems supported by this release are listed in the Contents, above.

New in This Release

This release is under shipping control. This section describes new features that were introduced in this release of Reporting and Analytics Aggregates.

Corrections and Modifications

This release also includes the following corrections and modifications:


This release adds the AGR_NOTIFICATION aggregation request table:

In previous releases, Job_TransformGIM, at times, hanged upon receipt of notifications when aggregation was not initialized, for example, or under those circumstances when error resulted during initialization of aggregation. The addition of the AGR_NOTIFICATION table to the RAA schema corrects this issue. (ER# 268122093)


In previous 8.0 releases, the gim_agg_application_options.cfg configuration file contained an option (date-time-calendar-name) that was not recognized by GIM Server. This option has been removed from the configuration file (as have all other DATE_TIME options—RAA relies on GIM defaults for this section). (SR# 486308)


The installation routine now installs RAA as a plugin to Genesys Info Mart (GIM). Previously, if you indicated to install RAA in the GIM root directory—as was recommended in the Reporting and Analytics Aggregates 8.0 Deployment Guide for operating aggregation in integrated mode—some RAA installation files (such as the ip_description.xml and read_me.html) overwrote GIM installation files. (ER# 255868778)

Corrections and Modifications

The aggregation process no longer commits data while GIM is sending notifications about updates to FACT tables. In the previous release, this mis-timing of commits could possibly yield errors if the transformation job was ever interrupted. (ER# 263708324)

Known Issues and Recommendations

This section documents features that are no longer supported in this software. This cumulative list is in release-number order with the most recently discontinued features at the top of the list.


The consult-initiated fields of the following tables capture both simple and warm consultations when they should only reflect measurement of simple consultations:

(ER# 280886501)

Found In:   8.0.100.06 Fixed In:   8.1.000.12

For a Microsoft SQL Server RDBMS, by default RAA assigns the INTEGER data type to metrics for the lower aggregation levels (for example SUBHR and DAY). As a result, there is a limit to the amount of data RAA can handle. If you find that aggregation fails for a particular aggregate (such as AG2_ID in the H_ID hierarchy), you can disable that hierarchy. Refer to the chapter entitled "[agg-populate-disable] Section" in the Reporting and Analytics Aggregates Deployment Guide for instructions. (ER# 295306930)

Found In:   8.0.100.05 Fixed In:  

The gim_agg_application_options.cfg configuration file contains an undocumented option: deadlock-threshold. The value of this option represents the time, in seconds, in which aggregation results must be returned before aggregation write operations are considered to be deadlocked or RDBMS performance is considered to be too slow.

In this release, this option is reserved for internal use only and its value should not be changed unless requested by Genesys Technical Support.

Found In:   8.0.100.05 Fixed In:   8.1.000.12

The number and duration of agent-initiated consultations for interactions distributed from a queue (stored in the AG2_AGENT_QUEUE_[*].CONSULT_INITIATED and ..CONSULT_INITIATED_TIME fields respectively) always yields a zero value. (ER# 275037858)

Found In:   8.0.100.05 Fixed In:   8.1.000.12

With some GIM versions, if you change GIM options, such as the database access point or aggregation-engine-class-name while GIM is running, you might encounter error messages, such as the following:

18:44:05.062 Lib.Thread.KeeperManager	caught an exception. Monitor: AggKeeper Message: AggKeeper: unable to execute command: UPDATE_CONFIG
18:44:05.062 Lib.Thread.KeeperManager	common.TransformError: Exception during synchronization of existing configuration

And, both GIM and RAA might stop processing data. To work around this problem, restart GIM after making above-mentioned changes or make the changes while GIM is not running. (ER# 271265897)

Found In:   8.0.001.02 Fixed In:  

Some aggregator messages are logged as ERROR. In the specific context, however, ERROR indicates logging priority rather than something erroneous. (ER# 254391780)

Found In:   8.0.000.32 Fixed In:   8.1.000.12
