Important
Information on this page is no longer updated. For What’s New information about releases subsequent to ICON 8.1.514.06, see the Interaction Concentrator 8.1.x Release Note.

In release 8.1.514.06 (08/07/2017)

  • To restore backward compatibility, the default value for the max-userdata-length configuration option has been changed from 1024 to 255.

In release 8.1.514.03 (05/02/2017)

  • You can now set an alarm for situations in which Interaction Concentrator call handling rules result in unprocessed or destroyed calls. A new configuration option, log-call-failure, and the new log event on which you can set an alarm, 09-20039, support this functionality.

In release 8.1.514.02 (04/14/2017)

  • Interaction Concentrator now stores a user-configurable number of calls/interactions and parties associated with a device. This enables more detailed reporting on the progress and outcome of interactions. To support this functionality, the max-party-info configuration option has been added.

In release 8.1.512.08 (01/31/2017)

  • The new timestamp-processing configuration option replaces the recently-introduced ignore-milliseconds option. The timestamp-processing option offers a more precise specification of how you want ICON to handle any necessary shortening of millisecond and microsecond timestamp values.
  • To keep backward compatibility with environments running Genesys Info Mart 7.6, the new max-userdata-length configuration option enables you to set the maximum data length in certain fields to 255 characters in IDB data.
  • The field lengths for some IDB fields in the GM_F_USERDATA, G_USERDATA_HISTORY, and G_SECURE_USERDATA_HISTORY tables have been increased.
  • The 16-bit integer datatype for some IDB fields in the G_CALL_STAT and G_PARTY_STAT tables has been increased to 32-bit integer.
  • Support has been discontinued for use of the HTTP Listener to monitor and report on Interaction Concentrator performance.

In release 8.1.511.01 (10/31/2016)

  • You can now specify how Interaction Concentrator handles values that are measured in milliseconds or microseconds. Interaction Concentrator can either truncate microsecond and millisecond values to seconds before storing them in IDB, or else round microsecond values to milliseconds. This functionality is controlled using the new ignore-milliseconds configuration option.
  • Added support for Microsoft SQL Server 2014.
  • The wrapper scripts now remove the following obsolete purge procedures on Oracle, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL IDBs: gsysPurgeIR, gsysPurgeUDH, gsysPurgeLS, and gsysPurgeOS.
  • The Interaction Concentrator Physical Data Model Reference Guides are now available on the Genesys Documentation website.

In release 8.1.510.07 (09/23/2016)

  • Interaction Concentrator now supports Unicode Microsoft SQL IDBs. Note that Unicode is already supported for Oracle and PostgreSQL RDBMSs.
  • Interaction Concentrator now supports the Interaction Server ability to distinguish the agent login region.

In release 8.1.509.07 (06/17/2016)

  • This release contains modifications to support Genesys Engage cloud implementations only.

In release 8.1.508.09 (04/22/2016)

  • Distinguishing DNs with the same name—Interaction Concentrator now provides a method for ICON to distinguish the correct otherDN when both an internal DN and an external DN have the same name in multi-site SIP Server environments. For details, see Recognizing the Correct DN in Environments Where Internal and External DNs Have the Same Name and the description of the same-dn configuration option.
  • Support for multiple routing scenarios in single-site and multi-site environments running SIP Server release 8.1.102.13 or higher—This functionality uses the new TS_PARENTPARTYGUID column in the G_PARTY table, which has been added to enable you to store the value associated with the SIP Server key name parent-party-uuid from AttributeExtensions. For details, see the description of the use-server-partyuuid option description in the Interaction Concentrator Deployment Guide.

In release 8.1.507.06 (02/09/2016)

  • ICON now stores data that enables reporting on agent focus time—The data comes in the form of key-value pairs (KVPs) in the attr_event_content attribute in the EventCustomReporting event, which is passed to ICON via Interaction Server. The data provides information for reporting on how focus time—that is, how long a particular interaction was in focus (actively being processed) on the agent desktop. For details, see Processing Data for EventCustomReporting.
  • ICON now stores data provided by Chat Server that enables you to determine who ended a chat session—For details, see Chat Session Attributes that Indicate Who Ended the Session.

In release 8.1.506.07 (12/04/2015)

  • Modifications to support SIP Server Cluster for Genesys Engage cloud implementations — SIP Server version 8.1.101.94 or higher is required for this new functionality, which is applicable to Genesys Engage cloud deployments only.

With this release, ICON now enables you to hide such information for SQL statements as well.

In release 8.1.504.04 (08/03/2015)

  • Support for both sequential and parallel Hunt Group calls controlled by Genesys SIP Server — This functionality is supported only in standalone SIP Server environments.
  • Mutual TLS support — For information about this feature, see Mutual TLS in the Genesys Security Deployment Guide.

In release 8.1.503.03 (06/09/2015)

  • Automatic re-registration of unregistered DNs — Available on voice Switches only.
  • Improved purge locking — The purge procedure now uses a more robust native RDBMS approach and avoids the previously encountered issue of multiple purge processes running in parallel.
  • Support for Microsoft SQL 2012 Cluster.
  • Conversion of the Interaction Concentrator 8.1 User's Guide — Now in a conveniently accessible, searchable online format, available here: Interaction Concentrator User's Guide.

In release 8.1.502.04 (04/17/2015)

  • Ability to add an Interaction Server type application to the ICON Connections tab — Previously, you had to add a connection to an application of the type T-Server, which was a stand-in for the Interaction Server application.
  • Support for the EnhancedRouting type of Script object — This is used by Orchestration Server. You must upgrade to this release of Interaction Concentrator to use Enhanced Routing in Orchestration.
  • Support for IBM DB2 v10.
