Corrections and Modifications
This is a hot fix for this product. There are no new features in this release.
This release contains the following corrections or modifications:
Thread management and connection management in iWD Manager have been improved. Previously, unnecessary threads and connections were being created which, in
high load situations, could lead to slowdowns and occasional OutOfMemory
exceptions.
This is now controlled by configuring a new parameter, iwd.connectorKeepAlive
in the
iwd.properties
file. This parameter defines how long (in milliseconds) connections to Interaction Servers and Configuration
Servers should be maintained since the user's last activity on iWD Manager. The default value is set to 0
(zero), which means that the connection will be kept alive for the life of the user's current session.
This parameter has no impact on the iWD Runtime Node. (IWD-3425)
Connection management in iWD Manager has been improved. Previously, in the event of lack of, or failure of, connection to the primary Configuration Server, iWD would fail over to the first backup. However, the backup server was not able to handle so many connections simultaneously. Now, connection management for the backup provides the same performance level as for the primary server connection, which means that iWD Manager can also function with only a connection to the backup server. (IWD-3431)

This release contains the following corrections or modifications:
iWD Manager's Global Task List (GTL) now properly resets the reprioritization date and time (iWD_reprioritizationDateTime
) when a task is restarted. Previously, this field was not reset,
and as a result the "Is first prioritization"
rule condition always returned value false.
(IWD-3387)
Previously, filters in iWD Manager did not work properly if localized strings contained apostrophes. This is now corrected. (IWD-3372)

Task archiving has been improved. Once a task is archived, users can now view the entire task attributes and the task history through the Global Task List in iWD Manager. The iWD Standard Rules Template has been updated with a new rule action to enable users to configure, through business rules, a task archiving period, after which archived tasks and their associated events are purged by the iWD system.
The Global Task List (GTL) in iWD Manager is enhanced as follows:
User security and authentication have been enhanced as follows:
Support for configurable secure communications (SSL/TLS and TLS/FIPS) between iWD components and any other Genesys components to which iWD connects, such as Configuration Server, Interaction Server and Stat Server.

Changes to browser support. This release supports the following browsers:
Changes to servlet engine support. This release supports the following servlet engines:
This release contains the following corrections and modifications:
In iWD Manager, the Pending
filter now correctly displays tasks in queues that are outside of the default
iWD Business Process (IWDBP
). Previously, the Pending
filter had to be edited manually to include
the queue names in the criteria list. (ER# 264347011)
The line breaks in the iWD_Manager.sh
files that are in DOS format are
now recognized and converted automatically on Unix systems. (ER# 300713590)
The Integer is
Standard Rule condition now works correctly. Previously, when the condition was used in a rule, it
incorrectly evaluated to false
, instead of true
. (ER# 299961292)

Corrections and Modifications
There are no restrictions for this release. This section describes new features that were introduced in this release of the iWD Manager.
iWD is now integrated with Genesys Rules System (GRS), enabling client applications, such as the IWD Business Process (IWDBP), to make requests to the Genesys Rules Engine (GRE) to have rules in the rule package evaluated at various decision points in a task’s lifecycle. This integration has led to the following changes:
Business rule templates are now created and edited in the Genesys Rules Development Tool, an Eclipse-based GUI. They are no longer created in iWD Manager.
Business rules are now created and edited through the Genesys Rules Authoring Tool, which can be launched from iWD Manager through a single sign-on mechanism. They are no longer authored within iWD Manager.
Users will still create and modify the business structure (Solution/Department/Process) through iWD Manager, but will now push any changes to the Genesys Rules System, by using an option in iWD Manager.
The iWD Business Process (IWDBP) is now updated to integrate with the Genesys Rules Engine.
The Global Task List in iWD Manager is enhanced in the following ways:
Several new filter criteria can be used to create custom filters for the Global Task List.
Any custom attribute can be added as a column in the task list, when a custom filter is created for the Global Task List.
User-friendly on-screen labels that enhance how these attributes appear on the Global Task List can be created for any iWD custom attribute. This is done within a resource file that resides under the iWD Manager web application on the customer’s application server.
The Global Task List can display an icon for each different interaction (task) media type. Out-of-the-box icons are provided for many media types, and new icons can be uploaded into iWD Manager for custom media types, or to replace any of the out-of-the-box icons that are provided by iWD.
Enhanced support for the Genesys Social Engagement solution. When the Configuration Server tenant's properties include the section iwd.profile
with the social-messaging
option set to true
, iWD Manager automatically creates the configuration objects and executes the database updates that are necessary for social media interactions to be properly displayed in the iWD Global Task List.
A new type of service template is introduced called Generic Capture Point, that is used when an Interaction Server Integrated Capture Point is added to an iWD Solution. The Generic Capture Point establishes a Capture Point ID
and Capture Point Name
for the Integrated Capture Point, to ensure that interactions (tasks) that are captured through that Integrated Capture Point are visible through the iWD Global Task List, can be referenced within iWD business rules, and are properly tracked within the iWD Data Mart.
Changes to platform support. For a detailed description of the platform support changes in this release, see the intelligent Workload Distribution Read Me
There are no corrections or modifications for this release.
This section provides the latest information on known issues and recommendations associated with this product.
In some cases, iWD Manager does not release interaction snapshots properly. This eventually leads to the Global Task List (GTL) becoming unable to display interactions.
Workaround: Restart the iWD Manager application. (ER# 321741468)
Found In: 8.1.101.03 | Fixed In: |
The status of held tasks in GTL is now displayed as Held
regardless of their interaction queues. It is
possible to cancel such a held task; in this case the task will be moved to the iWD_Canceled
queue, but it will remain there
until it is resumed. (ER# 319411823)
Found In: 8.1.101.03 | Fixed In: |
Rule testing functionality has the following limitations:
(ER 317963673)

, when iWD Manager is accessed by using
Internet Explorer 7.

In iWD Manager, the Pending
filter does not display tasks in queues that are outside of the default iWD
Business Process (IWDBP
).
Workaround: To display tasks that are placed in non-standard queues, edit the Pending
filter and
include the queue names in the criteria list. (ER# 264347011)
Found In: 8.0.001.06 | Fixed In: 8.1.100.11 |
The line breaks in the iWD_Manager.sh
and iWD_RuntimeNode.sh
files that are in DOS format are not recognized or converted automatically on Unix systems.
Workaround: When you build the WAR archives on Unix systems, manually edit the iWD_Manager.sh
and
iWD_RuntimeNode.sh
files to remove the DOS format line breaks. (ER# 300713590)
