Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following modification:


In cases where an attempt to reserve an agent fails, URS now immediately tries to reselect a new agent irrespective of the type of routing strategy that is running, native URS or ORS-based. Previously, URS tried to reselect an agent for native URS strategies only. (URS-5264)

Now, if routing of a call for an SCXML strategy fails twice in a row with the error code 56 'Invalid connection id' received from T-Server, URS stops further routing attempts and deletes such calls from its memory. URS rejects the subsequent requests from ORS for this interaction. (URS-5450)


URS no longer terminates unexpectedly when you rename a routing rule while executing a strategy that uses this object. (URS-5438)


Now, URS no longer terminates unexpectedly when handling the lvq web request if the lvq option has a value of 2 in its 5th position (for example, lvq = "1:1:0:1:2:10"). (URS-5426)

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following modifications:


URS now correctly handles single step transfers of consult calls, in cases where it is configured to monitor agent DNs. Previously, some calls were stuck in the backup URS instance in similar scenarios. (URS-5307)


Now, when answering urs/call/max/lvq requests with aqt set to urs2, URS often uses one of the skill expressions (largest) that was used in the past with the requested VQ. Previously, URS cleared such selected skill expressions every hour and reselected an expression again. This resulted in the newly selected skill expression being considerably smaller (for some time) than the previously used expression. This caused a sudden increase in the data reported by the lvq requests. Beginning with this release, a VQ skill expression once selected is not cleared and will only be replaced with a larger skill expression. (URS-5356)

The stack size on Windows platforms is extended to 8 MB (from the default 1 MB) to allow the HTTP Bridge to handle deeply recursive SOAP XML documents. However, the HTTP Bridge might not be able to process highly recursive SOAP XML documents if the required stack memory exceeds 8 MB.(URS-4741)


The response to the lvq web request with the aqt parameter set to urs2 no longer contains unreadable characters in the value of the clc attribute. (URS-4753)


URS now successfully routes interactions to the selected target if the subsequent busy treatment is started when the custom routing procedure is still running. (URS-4700)

The HTTP Bridge does not exit when a client other than URS connects to it via the HTTP bridge port. Previously, in such scenarios, the HTTP bridge could exit unexpectedly. (URS-3908)


URS no longer becomes unstable when an Agent with active interactions logs out. Previously, at times, such conditions could lead to URS termination. (URS-3898)


URS now returns the correct Expected Waiting Time (EWT) value for the lvq URS web method. Previously, beginning with version 8.1.400.42, URS at times returned 0 as the value for EWT. (URS-3881)


The CountSkillInGroupEx and GetSkillInGroupEx functions return valid data when applied to a virtual agent group and the function's parameter Skill Expression is defined as a combination of skills and statistics. Previously, in such scenarios, these functions returned invalid data when the content of the virtual group was not yet open. (URS-3875)

The URS media type of multimedia interactions is stored in an interaction's attached data. The virtual queue events distributed by URS, while the multimedia interactions are processed by ORS, do not contain a direct AttributeMediaType attribute. Therefore, the media type of Interactions is only passed through the attached data. (ER# 305142555)


Calls processed by URS, on behalf of debugging sessions, may now use the run_time_mode option set to a value of 128 (which allows to use dots (".") in Key names of List Objects). Previously, if a debugged strategy tried to access List Objects elements, it was done without taking into consideration the run_time_mode option.

Note: The pipe (¦) character inside the values of treatment parameters is not supported.

(ER# 300905133)


This release of URS introduces the new value of 128 for the run_time_mode option. When this new option value is set, URS considers the dot (.) character as a regular character while operating with List objects or KVList values. When the run_time_mode option is set to its default value of 0 (zero), more precisely the 8th bit of the value is clear, URS uses the dot (.) character as a separator between list/sublist key names.

Note: Changes to this option take effect after URS is restarted.

URS no longer reduces the limit that is reported by the system soft value for RLIMIT_DATA. Previously, URS might have set it to 1GB if a hard limit value was not specified. (ER# 282482519)


URS now properly handles a scenario where during the disconnect phase, the Configuration Server drops an old connection session with URS, and some of the properties of the agent are changed. Previously, after URS reconnected to the Configuration Server, some agents might have been considered by URS as not belonging to a Virtual Agent Group. (ER# 289564203)


URS no longer becomes unstable when attempting to access list objects if all the properties of the List Transaction objects are deleted (making its annexes empty) while URS is running. (ER# 285133514)


URS performance is no longer degraded, when accessing statistics, if URS has Stat Server(s) which are not running in its connection list. (ER# 289794644)


URS now applies the Pause treatment, in a scenario where a call is returned back to the original Routing Point, only if there are no agents available to route this call to. (ER# 288242282)

Supported Operating Systems

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

New in This Release

There are no restrictions for this release. This section describes new features that were introduced in the initial 8.1 release of Universal Routing Server (URS).

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:


You can now create log files by using the http bridge, even if the file path contains a space. Previously, a space in the file path prevented log file creation. (ER# 200062456)


In the case of different target selection objects that have the same threshold applied to them, URS now correctly processes calls in order of priority. Previously in this case, there was a possibility that URS would process some of the calls to those objects out of priority order. (ER# 259061431)


If the connection between URS and Configuration Server is lost, this release of URS correctly retains any ADDP settings that might be configured on the URS Application object. Previously in this case, these settings might change. (ER# 263115791)


URS now correctly prints log messages in their entirety. Previously in certain cases, an issue with the loglibrary caused the loss of some message prefixes, specifically, the milliseconds portion of the timestamp. (ER# 258023043)


URS now correctly handles the situation of EventPartyChanged being generated for a call on a DN after EventRouteUsed is generated for that same call. Previously in this case, URS could experience a fatal error. (ER# 259801355)


URS correctly handles failed attempts to distribute virtual queue events through T-Server if that T-Server is later removed from the URS list of connections. Previously in this case, after the T-Server was removed from the connections list, URS could experience a fatal error. (ER# 269530044)

Documentation Corrections

This section provides corrections and updates for issues found in currently released documentation for this product. For the latest updates, see the Supplement to the Universal Routing 8.1 Reference Manual.


The default value of the reduced option is 2048. That is, URS will not apply any statistics to select the best agent when it is overloaded. The default value is incorrectly mentioned as false in the reduced option description (Page 653, Universal Routing 8.1 Reference Manual).
The 3rd parameter shown in the Play application properties screenshot is {s}APP_URI. (Page 413, Universal Routing 8.1 Reference Manual)
The name of the reduced option mentioned in the description of the cpu_emergency_level option is incorrect in the statement: This option is activated when the reduce option is set to 2048. The correct option name is reduced. (Page 637, Universal Routing 8.1 Reference Manual)

The maximum length of the input string in the Text field on the General tab of the Web Service object is limited to 1,010 bytes. (Appendix B, page 776)


When describing Function object functions that use interaction data, the Universal Routing Reference Manual erroneously includes the BusinessData function. The correct description should be: You can also use interaction data in certain Function object functions (see page 127), such as InteractionData (page 461), InteractionDataINT (page 462), and UData (page 465). In the Function properties dialog box, select All Functions then Interaction Data.


The lvq method description, including its input and output parameters, are missing from the current version of the Universal Routing 8.1 Reference Manual. Refer to the URS method help for details at http://<urshost>:<http-port>/urs/help/call/lvq.


The following functions, accessible via the IRD Selection object, are missing from the Universal Routing 8.1 Reference Manual. These functions are now documented in the Supplement to the Universal Routing 8.1 Reference Manual.


The following note is missing from the current version of the Universal Routing 8.1 Reference Manual:

Note: All URS waiting target functions and objects have waiting time defined in seconds. When try_other is defined as action for the external route error, URS continues to wait for the remaining time rounded down to the nearest whole number. (URS-3249)


The following option description is missing from the current version of the Universal Routing Reference Manual:

virtual_queue_attach
Location in Configuration Layer by precedence: URS
Default value: true
Valid values: true, false
Value changes: take effect immediately

When set to true, URS propagates AttachedDataChanged events through Virtual Queue DNs, and does not when set to false. The purpose of this option is to reduce network traffic by limiting the amount of changed events in the attached data of calls. If deployed in a SIP Cluster environment (URS option environment contains value tcluster) then the default value of the option becomes false.


The following information is missing from the current version of the Universal Routing Application Configuration Guide:

URS applies the following rules to determine the routing order of multiple voice interactions waiting for the same target availability, assuming that all thresholds and other readiness conditions for all calls are satisfied:

  1. Priorities – Call with the highest current priority will be selected. Otherwise Rule 2 will be applied.

  2. Matching – Call that matches the target best, if all calls are provided with definitions of optimal targets, will be selected. Otherwise Rule 3 will be applied.

  3. Timing – Call with the longest Current Wait Time (measured in milliseconds) will be selected. The time values are calculated based on strategy settings as follows:

    Base Time = Age Of Interaction (if activated, otherwise the wait time in Queue).
    Adjusted Time = Base Time + Predicted Wait Time (if activated, otherwise Predicted Wait Time = 0).
    Time Value = Adjusted Time / Service Objective (if Service Objective is specified, otherwise Time Value = Adjusted Time).
    For calls with the same Time Value, Rule 4 will be applied.

  4. Internal call ID – Every new call that is created by URS has an Internal ID which is a counter incremented by 1. The call with the lesser ID value will be selected.

(ER# 310961168)


The following information is incorrect in the current version of the Universal Routing Application Configuration Guide:

The Implementation for Multimedia Interactions section in Chapter 3 that describes how to use business-priority routing for multimedia interactions incorrectly refers to Parameterized Conditions tab in the steps when it should say the Order tab instead. The corresponding screenshots also incorrectly show Parameterized Conditions tab when they should show the Order tab. (ER# 305564279)

When the RStatReadyAgentsMedia statistic is calculated, URS can fail to correctly define some specific media to be used like email and chat. In such cases, media might need to be identified directly. This can be achieved with either the name of the statistic used, for example RStatReadyAgentschat, or through the UseDNType function, for example UseDNType[CFGChat]. (ER# 295775991)

Found In: 8.1.000.11 Fixed In: 8.1.200.17
