For the Microsoft Windows platform, the time taken for concurrent loading of large strategies that include a high number of files is improved. (ORS-4818)


Now, ORS always sends the DeleteVirtualCall request to URS when MediaServer stops interaction processing and an SCXML session ends due to any reason other than interaction.deleted. Previously, ORS may randomly not send the DeleteVirtualCall request to URS in very rare race conditions during the above scenario. (ORS-4806)


When connection to Stat Server is lost, ORS attempts to reconnect to both the primary and backup Stat Server. Previously, in some rare scenarios, ORS was repeatedly reconnecting to the last StatServer without trying to connect to the backup Stat Server. (ORS-4567)

New in This Release

This is an update for this product. This release does not contain any new features or functionality.

Corrections and Modifications

This release contains the following corrections and/or modifications:


ORS no longer logs an error while processing agent-related events from Interaction Server. Previously, in such cases, ORS versions 8.1.400.89 to 8.1.400.94 reported an error that might have prevented it from sending the interaction.partystatechanged event to the session in scenarios where a multimedia interaction was still controlled by ORS at the time the interaction was delivered to the agent. (ORS-4407)


Reconnecting to unavailable Cassandra nodes no longer affects ORS inter-thread communication. Previously, when some Cassandra nodes were not available, the ORS main thread could freeze for a few seconds when reconnecting and cause delays in processing events and inter-thread communication messages. (ORS-4419, ORS-4420)


ORS no longer terminates randomly when a session is started by an /scxml/session/start web request or with the <session:start> action, and the value of the src parameter is specified in the script:<ERScript name> format. Using this format denotes that the URL of the SCXML strategy is taken from the Application section of the corresponding Enhanced Routing Script object.

Important: Sessions started by voice calls or multimedia interactions are not affected by this issue, even if the Enhanced Routing Script object is used for starting the sessions.

This release contains the following modification:


ORS now performs a background reload of the SCXML application from the application server if previous reload attempts fail, for example, when a 404 HTTP response is received from the application server. Previously, in such scenarios, ORS did not initiate a subsequent background reload and always used the cached version of the document. (ORS-4324, ORS-4362)

An error message is now recorded in the log file when ORS exits on startup when attempting to connect to Cassandra and the value of the persistence/cassandra-strategy-options configuration option contains an incorrect value. Previously, ORS terminated in such scenarios without recording an error in the log file. (ORS-4167)

ORS no longer stops attempts to reconnect to a Cassandra node. In previous releases, at times, ORS could potentially stop reconnection attempts with a Cassandra node that repeatedly disconnected and reconnected. (ORS-4140)


Binary attributes that contain the ", /, or \ symbols in an ESP response are now properly converted to the JavaScript (JS) property of the session.fetch.done event if the esp-response-binary-conversion ORS option is absent or has a string value. Previously, ORS generated execution errors in such scenarios. (ORS-4133)


ORS now stores the correct session expiration time when persistence is enabled. In previous releases, incorrect expiration time may have resulted in unexpected session termination after recovery from persistent storage. (ORS-4124)


ORS no longer terminates unexpectedly while running under a heavy load, when persistence is enabled. (ORS-4118)

The ixn:createcall and ixn:consultation actions are now executed successfully if the value of the to attribute is an object and the switch property is referencing the same switch that the device referenced in the from attribute belongs to (either explicitly or implicitly). In versions 8.1.400.83 to 8.1.400.87, these actions failed in the above described scenario. (ORS-4092)

Important: The new features, and corrections and modifications that were part of the 8.1.400.82, 8.1.400.83, and 8.1.400.84 releases that were withdrawn on 05/08/19, are now included in this release.

New in This Release

This is a hot fix for this product. This release contains the following new features:

Corrections and Modifications

This release contains the following corrections and/or modifications:


Starting from this release, all ESP requests issued by ORS upon execution of the <classification:screen> or <classification:classify> actions will contain all interaction user data. (ORS-4003)


ORS now properly sends requests to the backup Interaction Server instance running in primary mode. Prior to this release, in versions 8.1.400.82 to 8.1.400.84, ORS failed to send requests to the backup Interaction Server instance. (ORS-4018)


In rare cases, calls might get stuck in the dialing state after a SIP Server switchover and ORS will not receive any notifications regarding such interactions, which might lead to stuck SCXML sessions. To clear these stuck interactions from ORS memory, configure the sync-calls-on-switchover option to 1 in the gts section of the Switch object. ORS will delete inactive calls after a default timeout of 10 minutes and publish the related events into the corresponding SCXML session. For a complete option description, refer to the Interaction Concentrator Deployment Guide, available on the Genesys Documentation website. (ORS-3918).

ORS now uses the Enhanced Routing Script option, alternate-url, when an SCXML strategy document cannot be retrieved/validated via the main URL. Previously, starting from release 8.1.400.44, ORS did not use this option. (ORS-3191)


ORS now properly processes the scenario in which a web server returns a negative response upon retrieval of at least one of the SCXML documents included in an SCXML strategy. In previous releases, this scenario sometimes produced a memory leak. (ORS-3184)


When ORS is running and the value of any option in the orchestration section (and other sections) is changed, the log no longer erroneously indicates that the dynamic change was ignored. Previously, starting from version 8.1.400.57, ORS would process the option value update and print the following message in the log: Option <option_name> dynamic change ignored because the option is static.

This release improves how ORS performs a re-association of an interaction with a remote target session started on different ORS node within a cluster. This release introduces new option complete-assoc-on-target-node. It defines the way ORS handles the interaction.added and interaction.present events when associating an interaction with a remote target session running on an ORS node other than the node executing <ixn:associate> action. Previously, in a multimedia deployment, ORS may wrongly distribute the interaction.present event to the remote target session before the interaction was pulled.

complete-assoc-on-target-node
Option section: orchestration
Configuration object: ORS Application object
Default value: false
Valid values: true, false. This option must have the same value for all ORS nodes in a cluster.
Value changes: Changes to this option are applied dynamically.

When this option is set to true, the remote ORS generates interaction.added and interaction.present events after the interaction is associated with the target session. This is the proper mode for handling interactions associated with a remote target session. Genesys recommends it for new deployments, for clusters where ORS nodes can be upgraded simultaneously, or for clusters where all ORS nodes are already upgraded to version 8.1.400.53 or higher.

When this option is set to false:

Use this mode in deployments where ORS nodes in the cluster are upgraded gradually. Set the option value to true as soon as the upgrade of all nodes is completed.

Please note that if you want the remote target session to be able to work effectively with a re-associated interaction, be sure to explicitly place this interaction in any interaction queue that ORS works with. ORS does not automatically do this placement because it does not know strategy developer intentions and subsequent actions.

In a Linux environment, ORS now properly handles the scenario where a zero socket handler is used for a socket connection. Previously in this scenario, socket connections could unexpectedly close and all subsequent connections could be incorrectly processed. (ORS-2563, ORS-1608)


ORS can now redirect pulled Interactions to the Agents and/or Places that were created after ORS startup. Previously in this scenario, ORS printed an error and the redirect was not completed. (ORS-2546)


The sData function now correctly returns an undefined value when that function is used to obtain statistical data through URS and the required Stat Server is not accessible or an invalid statistic was requested. Previously in this scenario, the function did not return any value and ORS stopped processing the interaction. (ORS-2500)

ORS processing is improved to minimize the probability of a User Data update failure if an SCXML script does not explicitly detach an interaction before a successful <ixn:redirect>. Previously, in this scenario, ORS could fail to remove session-specific User Data from an interaction when an automatic detach was performed upon session termination and a race condition existed where one party in a call was already deleted before the new one was added. Genesys recommends to explicitly detach an interaction from a session before routing. (ORS-2465)

ORS now correctly provisions Orchestration-specific User Data in an interaction created via <ixn:createmessage> with the relatedixn attribute defined as a child interaction. Now, if the parent session is still active, child interactions will be attached to it. Previously, in this scenario, when processing such a child interaction that it did not create, ORS attempted to create a new session when the parent session had not yet terminated. (ORS-2388)


ORS now correctly raises error.interaction.redirect to a session in the following scenario: when RequestRouteCall fails on T-Server, the call is abandoned, and T-Server distributes EventError for the RequestRouteCall message after the EventCallDeleted event. Previously in this scenario, ORS did not raise error.interaction.redirect to a session. (ORS-2365)


In a blind transfer scenario, ORS now properly raises the dialog.start.done event into a session after it receives the EventTreatmentEnd event when the <dialog> action is applied to a consultation call, but the corresponding treatment finishes after transfer completion. Previously, in such a blind transfer scenario, ORS did not raise the dialog.start.done event. (ORS-2280)

ORS now honors the configured value of scxml/persistence-max-active and will begin deactivating sessions once the active session load reaches 75% of this configured value. Previously, ORS could begin prematurely deactivating sessions as soon as there were at least 750 active sessions, which could lead to ORS resources being completely consumed by session restoration, consequently delaying the processing of SCXML sessions. (ORS-2383)


ORS no longer sometimes terminates unexpectedly in the scenario where the processing of events interferes with session recovery, when ORS is under heavy load. (ORS-2384)


ORS has improved its compilation of pre-processed SCXML documents. Because of this, it no longer experiences memory growth when the allocated cache size for compiled documents is exceeded—either when the allocated cache size is insufficient for storing all compiled documents or when some documents exceed the maximum size.

While operating under load following the use of the Composer ORS Debugger, Orchestration Server no longer sometimes becomes unresponsive with unterminated debugging sessions.

Note: Genesys does not recommend the use of Composer's ORS Debugger in a production environment. Use the ORS Debugger only for development purposes. (ORS-2197)


Orchestration Server now correctly processes voice interactions when attempting to connect to an HA pair of initializing T-Servers, when the connection to the T-Server running in Backup mode is established first. Previously, in such a scenario, interaction processing could fail. (ORS-2192)


The Orchestration Server persistence component no longer occasionally fails to persist a session to a server-node relationship. Previously, this could cause session recovery failure upon an Orchestration failover. (ORS-2190)


Orchestration Server no longer stops unexpectedly in a scenario where it attempts to terminate a session for a second time. (ORS-2171)


While processing sessions, Orchestration Server no longer becomes unresponsive as a result of an abnormally high frequency of requests to execute the getListItemValue function. (ORS-2159)


In a deployment where T-Server sends only EventRouteRequest but not EventQueued, upon session creation, Orchestration Server now successfully handles the first user data update when information about the session is attached to the interaction. In this case, ORSI key with sessionID+ is set. (ORS-2153)


Orchestration server now correctly handles disconnection from one Cassandra instance in a deployment with multiple Cassandra instances per ORS node. (ORS-2064)


Orchestration Server now successfully processes delayed events under high load conditions. Previously (but rarely), under high load conditions, delayed events could sometimes not be raised (processed) at all, which caused a session to become permanently stuck. (ORS-2214).

Now, when the ucs attribute of the hints attribute is set to true in the <ixn:terminate> action, ORS sends all existing user data in the external_service_request message, when Method = StopProcessing in addition to the key-value pairs required for this request. As a result, user data is no longer lost. (ORS-2020)


Now, upon detaching an interaction from a session (explicitly or during auto-detaching when a session ends), ORS only sends a request to delete the ORSI:xxx:<Real_ixn_ID> key, and does not send a request to delete the ORSI:xxx:0 key. Previously, ORS sent both requests.

Note: ORS still may send both requests during session recovery (as before this fix) when one ORS instance tries to recover a session that was created by another ORS instance. (ORS-2047)


Now, upon startup, an ORS Application will report a status of Service Unavailable to Management Layer until it is completely initialized. Previously, an ORS Application reported a status of Running to Management Layer before it was fully initialized. (ORS-2048)


The following Open Media interaction attributes are now accessible as properties of msgbased or chat objects:

Note:The properties is_online and is_locked are presented as Boolean values [true | false] while appropriate attributes in events are presented as integer values [1 | 0]. (ORS-2052)


When ORS simultaneously reconnects to Configuration Server and Universal Routing Server and the connection to Configuration Server was established first, ORS no longer occasionally stops trying to reconnect to Universal Routing Server. (ORS-2081)

When an HTTP request is delivered to the Orchestration Server (ORS) node that owns the session, but has no cookie related to this session, ORS now adds a Set-Cookie header in a 200 OK response. This allows for a load balancer that supports "sticky" sessions to redirect any subsequent requests about that ORS session to the ORS node that handles the session. Previously in this scenario, ORS did not add a Set-Cookie header in the HTTP response, which resulted in additional redirections of the HTTP requests to the proper ORS node. (ORS-1845)


For multimedia interactions the data automatically provided by Universal Routing Server for reporting solutions is now available. This includes data which is attached to interactions and partial data that is provided in Virtual Queue events. The keys that apply to multimedia interactions include:

RVQID, RVQDBID, RTargetRule, RTargetAgentGroup, RTargetPlaceGroup, RPVQID, Reason, RTargetRuleSelected, RTargetTypeSelected, RTargetObjectSelected, RTargetAgentSelected, RTargetPlaceSelected, RTenant, RRequestedSkillCombination. (ORS-1038)

Corrections and Modifications

This release contains the following corrections and modifications:


Orchestration Server will now properly populate the event.data.requestid property for various events, such as queue.submit.done or dialog.playsound.done, when the corresponding action has been executed via Universal Routing Server. Previously, after requestid became larger than 16777215, ORS sometimes populated that property with the wrong value due to incorrect conversion of JSON-encoded event data received from Universal Routing Server.

For example, in SCXML code generated for standard Play Sound block in Composer, the transition for the dialog.playsound.done event looks like this:

<transition event="dialog.playsound.done" cond="_event.data.requestid== App_PlaySound1['requestid']" target="$$_MY_PREFIX_$$.COMPLETE">

As a result, if the event.data.requestid property has an incorrect value, a condition check will return false, the transition will never occur, and the session will remain in that state. (ORS-1632)

Now, when the functions-by-urs option is set to false, Orchestration Server overrides value of the get-list-item-by-urs option and retrieves the List item value directly from Configuration Layer. Previously, to retrieve the List item value directly from Configuration Layer, the value of both options should have been manually set to false. Note that the get-list-item-by-urs option, which covers only one function, is now obsolete should not be used. It is replaced by the functions-by-urs option, which covers six functions. (ORS-1560)


Orchestration Server now successfully detaches an interaction from a session in the scenario where the interaction originated from a DN not monitored by ORS. Previously, in such a scenario, the attempt to update User Data on behalf of such a DN could lead to a failure to detach the interaction from the session. (ORS-1559)


Orchestration Server performance under high load conditions is improved by changes in thread management and additional levels of caching. Previously, under high load conditions, Orchestration Server could experience delays during document retrieval and session creation. (ORS-1520, ORS-1499)


Changes in Orchestration Server's internal threading model and underlying ECMAScript implementation have produced more consistent and efficient ECMAScript execution times. (ORS-1497)


If persistence is enabled, Orchestration Server now successfully persists a session in a state where the _persist attribute of the <state> element is set to must. (ORS-1543)

Orchestration Server now sends the HTTP fetch request to the address specified in the alternate-url option after the fetch-timeout has expired. (ORS-1057, ORS-1048)


Orchestration Server no longer terminates on startup if connection to Cassandra is not established. ORS 8.1.3 does not require a connection to Cassandra. If a connection is not present, a corresponding error message is printed in the log and ORS continues to operate. Note that Session Recovery and Scheduled Session functionality will not be available. (ORS-1055)


Orchestration Server 8.1.3 now correctly handles processing of voice interactions where, due to the network related issues, ORS nodes have inconsistent information about which T‑Server from an HA pair is running in primary mode. Previously, in these scenarios the same interaction was processed by multiple nodes. (ORS-1029)


The "split-brain" scenario issue, in which a reconnect between Super Nodes leads to two Master Super Nodes, is resolved with the new architecture. Orchestration Server 8.1.3 does not support Super Nodes and Master Super Nodes in the new ORS cluster architecture. (ORS-1018)


Orchestration Server no longer terminates on startup if there are stuck sessions in Cassandra. (ORS-991)


A change in cluster configuration no longer results in Orchestration Server termination. This issue is resolved with the new ORS 8.1.3 architecture. (ORS-990, ER# 316085692)


Session processing thread mechanism has been improved. Issue with stuck threads no longer occurs. (ORS-989)

Orchestration Server no longer delays session creation while operating under a large workload in a high-concurrence environment where internal tasks are competing for resources. (ORS-1326)


The process of negotiation between Orchestration Server Super Nodes to select the new Master Super Node has been improved. Orchestration Server now correctly selects one Master Super Node in a scenario where an existing Master Super Node has been disconnected from the cluster by a temporary network outage. Previously, a temporary disconnect of the Master Super Node could result in two ORS Master Super Nodes controlling the same call. (ORS-1313)


Orchestration Server now sends RequestDistributeUserEvent to the correct Network T-Server when operating with multiple Network T-Servers. To insure proper results, the interactionid attribute must be specified in the <ixn:userevent> action element. Previously, RequestDistributeUserEvent was sometimes distributed to the incorrect Network T-Server. (ORS-1299)


Orchestration Server now generates an error.queue.cancel event after receiving an error message from Universal Routing Server in response to the <queue:cancel> action. Previously, in this scenario, ORS did not report the error.queue.cancel event and there was no possibility for a transition to the next state. (ORS-1296)


Orchestration Server now successfully selects a new Master Super Node in a scenario where the existing Master Super Node has been disconnected from the cluster due to a temporary network outage. Previously, a temporary disconnect of the Master Super Node could lead to a failure of the ORS cluster to select a new Master Super Node. (ORS-1288)

New in This Release

This is a hot fix for this product. This section describes new features that were introduced in this release of Orchestration Server (ORS).

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:


With this release of ORS, the following keys of user data key-value pairs have been added to VirtualCalls created for eServices. The values are taken from EventPartyStateChanged when an email is queued to the ORS controlled Interaction Queue.

Keys
PlacedInQueueAt
MediaType
ParentId
TenantId
InteractionType
InteractionSubtype
InteractionState
IsOnline
IsLocked
Queue
SubmittedBy
ReceivedAt
SubmittedAt
MovedToQueueAt

For example:

'InteractionId' [str] = "0007Sa6W88DY001F"
'TenantId' [int] = 101
'MediaType' [str] = "email"
'InteractionType' [str] = "Inbound"
'InteractionSubtype' [str] = "InboundNew"
'InteractionState' [int] = 1
'IsOnline' [int] = 0
'IsLocked' [int] = 0
'Queue' [str] = "Sales_test"
'SubmittedBy' [str] = "E-MailServer"
'ReceivedAt' [str] = "2011-05-24T14:50:37Z"
'SubmittedAt' [str] = "2011-05-24T14:50:58Z"
'PlacedInQueueAt' [str] = "2011-05-24T14:51:05Z"
'MovedToQueueAt' [str] = "2011-05-24T14:51:05Z"

Note: ParentId is only present if the interaction is created within ORS from an existing session/interaction. For example, if ixn:createmessage is used to create a new email, this new email has a ParentId with the interaction ID of the interaction that created it.

(ER# 304037808)


ORS no longer has the possibility to become unstable when it logs the content of an email. Previously, this may have occurred when the value of the x-server-trace-level option was set to 3. (ER# 296157257)

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:


ORS now adds the following Key-Value pair when creating a virtual call within URS for MCR type interactions:

Key Value
InteractionId The value of _attr_itx_id for the interaction.

This is reflected in events distributed from URS within the user data.

(ER# 302357627)


ORS now reports when Cassandra requests exceed a configurable latency. ORS also reports, after the configured maximum latency is exceeded, if the latency falls below the configured maximum latency. These are standard log messages that ORS reports:

23007 // ORS WARNING Cassandra latency %d ms, exceeds the expected latency of %d ms on %s request
Where the first %d is the latency, the second %d is the configured maximum latency, and %s is an indication of the ORS request that experienced the excessive delay.

23008 // ORS Cassandra latency %d ms, has recovered from excessive latency condition on %s request
Where %d is the latency of the request that recovered from the excessive delay, and % s is an indication of the ORS request.

Note: No warnings are reported when Cassandra requests do not exceed the configurable latency.

A new ORS configuration option has been introduced to the Orchestration/Options/persistence section to define the maximum latency:

cassandra-max-latency
Default Value: 100
Valid Values: Any number greater than 0
Changes Takes Effect: After restart

Defines the maximum latency, in milliseconds, to allow before reporting excessive latency, and recovery.

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. This release does not contain new features or functionality.

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:


Starting with this release, a new ORS configuration option has been introduced to the Orchestration/Options/orchestration section as follows:

switch-multi-links-enabled
Default Value: false
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: After restart

This option determines whether ORS supports multilink switch configurations (load sharing Network T‑Servers or IVR Servers). When set to true, ORS enables support of multilink switch configuration. When set to false, ORS does not enable multilink switch support.

Note: The ORS switch-multi-links-enabled configuration option and the switch-multi-links-enabled configuration option specified on the load sharing switch object must both be enabled to support this functionality.

The switch-multi-links-enabled option, specified on the load sharing switch object (Switches\"SharedSwitchObject"\Annex\gts), determines whether the switch is working in load-balancing mode; that is, it is served by multiple Network T‑Servers or IVR T‑Servers. Orchestration uses this option to determine whether to enable connection to more than one Network T‑Server or IVR T‑Server serving this switch.

switch-multi-links-enabled
Default Value: 0
Valid Values:

Value Description
1 A network or IVR switch in load-balancing mode.
Any other integer Not a network or IVR switch in load-balancing mode.
Changes Take Effect: After Orchestration Server restart.

This option should be used only in a configuration in which Network T‑Servers or IVR T‑Servers are working in load-balancing mode; that is, when there is no duplication in notification events received in Orchestration via connections to these T‑Servers. Currently, load balancing mode is supported only for Network T‑Servers and IVR T‑Servers.

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:


It is no longer possible for a deadlock to occur when URS fails and certain functions are used. (ER# 296405133)


ORS now correctly reports an error if the interaction ID is incorrectly specified in <ixn:sendmessage>. Previously, ORS incorrectly sent an email. (ER# 295868980)


ORS now periodically interrogates the SCXML Engine threads to determine if they are actively processing sessions. If no threads respond, an 23004 ORS SCXML engine threads not responding ERROR: Orchestration terminating error message is issued and Orchestration Server exits. (ER# 296514679)


For multimedia interactions processed by ORS, the age of an interaction, if used, is now defined by the interaction property ReceivedAt. Previously, the age of multimedia interactions were defined by the time the interaction was pulled by URS from the Interaction Queue.

Note: For this functionality to work properly, URS version 8.1.200.18 (or later) is required.

Known Issues and Recommendations

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


In versions 8.1.400.83 to 8.1.400.87, the ixn:createcall and ixn:consultation actions fail if the value of the to attribute is an object and the switch property is referencing the same switch that the device referenced in the from attribute belongs to (either explicitly or implicitly). (ORS-4092)

Found In: 8.1.400.87 Fixed In: 8.1.400.88


Starting from version 8.1.400.57, ORS prints the following log message: Option <some option name> dynamic change ignored, because the option is static. This message can occur after the value of any option in section orchestration (as well as other sections) is changed while ORS is running. Ignore the message because it is false. In reality, ORS has properly processed the option value update. (ORS-3237)

Found In: 8.1.400.57 Fixed In:8.1.400.60


Orchestration Server 8.1.3 requires Universal Routing Server 8.1.3.
Orchestration Server 8.1.4 requires Universal Routing Server 8.1.4.

Found In:  Fixed In: 


Orchestration Server 8.1.400.09 does not contain improvements in the SCXML documents processing area that minimizes the session creation time. (ORS-1969)

Found In: 8.1.400.09 Fixed In: 8.1.400.11


Beginning with versions 8.1.3, Orchestration Server can load the Cassandra schema on start up, upon connection to any Cassandra instance listed in the cassandra-nodes configuration option. During the schema load, if another Orchestration Server instance is started, it is possible for the schema loading to fail, based upon whether or not the previous schema loading process has completed, including migration of the schema to the remaining Cassandra instances in the cluster. This is a known limitation, and can be prevented by starting only a single instance of Orchestration Server, and allowing the schema loading process to complete prior to starting any other Orchestration Server instances. (ORS-1202)

Found In: 8.1.3 Fixed In: 


Orchestration Server does not override the default value of the get-list-item-by-urs option if the functions-by-urs option is set to false when the getListItemValue function is used to retrieve the List item value directly from Configuration Layer. Genesys recommends that you set both the functions-by-urs and get-list-item-by-urs options to false. (ORS-1560)

Found In: 8.1.300.36 Fixed In: 8.1.300.39


Orchestration Server 8.1.300.25 is not available on the Red Hat Linux 5 32-bit platform. (ORS-1481)

Found In: 8.1.300.25 Fixed In: 8.1.300.32


If an Orchestration Server configured as Primary stops while handling a session started via HTTP interface, subsequent HTTP requests about this session to another ORS node in the cluster are not correctly processed, as the other node forwards the requests only to the Orchestration Server that is configured as Primary. This issue is resolved with the external-url option described in the New in this Release section of 8.1.300.25. (ORS-1339)

Found In: 8.1.300.25 Fixed In: 8.1.300.25


When debugging SCXML applications, Orchestration Server might sometimes terminate a session when infinite loop prevention is enabled. Genesys recommends disabling loop prevention by setting the scxml section option process-event-timeout to 0 (zero). (ORS-1407)

Found In: 8.1.300.25 Fixed In: 8.1.300.29


Any changes of ORS-specific User Data (outside of ORS scope) are prohibited, because they will lead to unpredictable ORS behavior. An interaction/call-processing application can modify only User Data that is in the scope of the application and nothing else. (ORS-1122)

Found In:  Fixed In: 


Operational Reporting is not supported in Orchestration Server 8.1.3 and 8.1.4.

Found In:  Fixed In: 


Backup Orchestration Server application fails to connect to Cassandra when both Primary and Backup ORS instances start simultaneously when loading a schema. Genesys recommends that you start one ORS application at a time when loading a schema. (ORS-1322)

Found In: 8.1.300.25 Fixed In: 


In Orchestration Server 8.1.3, specifying empty or invalid values for max-state-entry-count, max-microstep-count, or process-event-timeout options disables the Infinite Loop Prevention feature. (ORS-1314)

Orchestration Server may experience memory growth due to the delay of the internal memory structures cleanup related to the ended scheduled sessions. The memory will eventually be cleaned when a new schedule request arrives. (ER# 323299121)

Found In: 8.1.200.63 Fixed In: 8.1.200.64

Orchestration Server could become unresponsive or exit if infinite loops exist in your application. SCXML application should be thoroughly revised to prevent and handle any possibility of infinite loops. (ORS-1275)

Found In: 8.1.200.59 Fixed In: 8.1.300.25

The use of <session:fetch> assumes that responses are encoded in UTF-8. This can impact Composer generated strategies that access a database using these functions where the values stored in the database are not UTF-8 encoded. (ER# 312013017)

Found In: 8.1.200.44 Fixed In: 8.1.200.61

If the connections to both primary and backup Universal Routing Servers are lost for any reason, Orchestration Server is unable to subscribe to Stat Server statistics, and any existing subscriptions are lost. (ORS 948)
