Corrections and Modifications

This release contains the following corrections and modifications:


Because of an issue with the definition of the process_current and process_current_version views, incorrect versions of processes were sometimes used for data aggregation, which resulted in tasks from certain departments being skipped and their GTL_STAT values not being updated. View definitions now correctly select the current version of the process as the one with the valid_to value set in the future, instead of the one with with the largest 'version' number. (IWD-4377)

Corrections and Modifications

This release contains the following corrections and modifications:


A slowdown in the performance of IWD DataMart ETL jobs has been corrected by making the Aggregate Intraday plugin more efficient. (IWD-3495)


A performance improvement in iWD Data Mart has been made by disabling the TRG_MARK_STOPPED_IXN trigger. To implement the improvement, the Event Log database schema must be updated as follows:

  1. Login to iWD.
  2. Go to the Services tab.
  3. Expand the solution and choose Configure Ixn Custom Properties.
  4. Click the Configure Ixn Custom Properties button.

If the Event Log database is running on an Oracle database engine, you must also manually truncate the AUX_IXNIDS_STOPPED_AT table. (IWD-3490)

Supported Operating Systems

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

New in This Release

This is a hot fix for this product. There are no new features or functionality in this release of iWD Data Mart:

Corrections and Modifications

This release contains the following corrections and modifications:


Problems with the way data from the RPT_ESP table was processed, resulting in the Prune job failing to finish and in KettleETLService exceptions, have been addressed in this hot fix. As a result, the RPT_ESP table is no longer needed. Please read the following notes for details of how to handle the impacts of this change as they apply to your environment.

Note 1

If the Event Log database is running on a DB2 database engine, before installing this hot fix, verify that no TRG_DELETE_RESP trigger is defined. If such a trigger is defined, drop it.

Note 2

The Data Mart Prune job now no longer purges the RPT_ESP table in the Event Log database. This purge must now be done manually after installing this hot fix. Do this as follows:

  1. Stop Interaction Server.
  2. Truncate the RPT_ESP table.
  3. Note: After the RPT_ESP table is truncated, the iWD GTL History tab will not display information about rules' names (relating to old tasks) applied to interactions (RULE_APPLIED events). (Information about rules' names relating to new tasks will be displayed.) If this information is needed, postpone the truncation (step 2). However, customers must take responsibility to purge the RPT_ESP table at a later time.

  4. If the Event Log database is running on an Oracle database engine:
    1. Truncate the AUX_ESP_RESPONDED_AT table.
    2. Truncate the AUX_IXNIDS_STOPPED_AT table.

Note 3

  • Interaction Server Custom Properties must be updated, as follows:
    1. Login to iWD.
    2. Go to the Services tab.
    3. Expand the solution and choose Configure Ixn Custom Properties.
    4. Click the Configure Ixn Custom Properties button.

    Note 4

    If event filtering by ID is configured in Interaction Server, Genesys advises filtering out events with IDs 193 and 194. Do this as follows:

    1. Open Interaction Server properties.
    2. Navigate to the event-filtering section.
    3. Remove events 193 and 194 from the event-filter-by-id list.

    New in This Release

    This is a hot fix for this product. There are no new features or functionality in this release of iWD Data Mart:

    Corrections and Modifications

    This release contains the following corrections and modifications:


    The SQL query for Oracle and MySQL that moves data from intraday to historical tables now uses explicit column names instead of relying on the column order returned by the database engine. (IWD-3420)


    Held status is now checked for tasks in all states. Previously it was checked only for tasks in the queued state. (IWD-3395)

    New in This Release

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

    Corrections and Modifications

    This release contains the following corrections or modifications:


    Data Mart now performs connection validation on borrows-from and returns-to the connection pool. Additionally, when the Oracle database is used, the Load Intraday job sets a read timeout for queries. By default this is set to 10 minutes, but this can be changed by resetting the value of the -DLoadIntraday.oracle.jdbc.ReadTimeout=timeout_in_miliseconds parameter for JVM. (IWD-3353)


    Data Mart no longer relies on ESP call events to register prioritization or classification. This change introduces the following restrictions for naming strategies in business processes:

    For example, the strategy name Prioritization_custom is acceptable, but Custom_Prioritization is not.

    Additionally you can now configure the size of batches in which Event Log events are processed by the Load Intraday job. For this purpose the batchSize parameter has been added to the Kettle ETL Service service. (IWD-3354)


    An occasional problem with the Load Intraday job failing with the message Protocol violation: [id1, id2, .., idN] has been corrected. (IWD-3345)

    The cleanup processing of the Load Intraday job has been modified to ensure that the job can recover correctly if, before failure, task work facts are inserted. Previously, the job could not recover in this scenario. (ER# 320152051)

    Known Issues and Recommendations

    This section provides the latest information on known issues and recommendations associated with this product.


    iWD Data Mart loads configuration information about distribution points from the DistributionPoints lookup table but the rest of the solution uses the distributionPoints lookup table (with a lower case 'd'). To allow Data Mart to load the distribution point information, it is necessary to create two lookup tables under the same managed tenant: distributionPoints and DistributionPoints and to have the same set of distribution points described in both. (ER# 319315311)

    Found In: 8.1.100.11 Fixed In: 8.1.101.03

    When initializing the iWD Data Mart database on MSSQL, the database server will issue a message indicating that the index is too long. This error can be ignored. (ER# 258677018)
