If a switchover from primary to backup T-Server occurs, T-Server no longer creates an extra call after receiving the CALL-PROGRESS message if the values for the set-call-type-with-dialing and new-call-for-unknown-dest configuration options are both set to true. (ER# 268185141)

Known Issues and Recommendations

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


To ensure backward compatibility, T-Server provides two options that define how many licenses T-Server can check out:

When the values of the two options are different, then T-Server applies the lower one, so Genesys recommends that you leave the option num-sdn-licenses at the default value max and set the option num-of-licenses to the actual number of licenses that you want T-Server to check out. Alternatively, you can set both options to the same value.


T-Server shuts down if it fails to obtain an ISCC license. (ER# 278678036)

Found In: 8.1.000.06 Fixed In: 8.1.000.11

If a switchover from primary to backup T-Server occurs, T-Server might create an extra call after receiving the CALL-PROGRESS message if the values for the set-call-type-with-dialing and new-call-for-unknown-dest configuration options are both set to true.

Workaround: To prevent an extra call, set the value for the set-call-type-with-dialing configuration option to false.

(ER# 268185141)

Found In: 8.0.101.11 Fixed In: 8.1.000.06

The Framework 8.x T-Server for Nortel Communication Server 2000/2100 Deployment Guide omits the following information:

agent-state-return-result
Default Value: true
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately

If this option is set to true, when the agent is on a call, T-Server changes the agent state based on the return result of the DV_SET_FEATURE message. If the agent is not on a call, then the return result is not used. If this configuration option is set to false, agent requests may timeout if the call lasts longer than the duration specified by the request-timeout configuration option.

Note: Use this option only when requested by Genesys Technical Support.

Setting the option agent-no-answer-overflow to any value other than none may result in EventHardwareError. T-Server only supports a value of none for this option. (ER# 225440797)

Found In: 8.0.005.02 Fixed In: 

When running a high-availability pair of pre-7.6 T-Servers in hot-standby mode, upgrading only the backup T-Server to a 7.6 version with a rolling upgrade prevents the backup T-Server from starting and it remains in a Service Unavailable state. A pre-7.6 T-Server and a 7.6 T-Server cannot run as a hot-standby pair. (ER# 200067043)

Found In: 7.6.006.01 Fixed In: 

If an agent goes NotReady while on call using a CTI (RequestAgentNotReady) request, and then manually changes the agent state to Ready, T-Server will remain in NotReady state after the call ends. Genesys recommends not changing agent state with both CTI and manually on the telephone set. (ER# 155483699)

Found In: 7.6.006.01 Fixed In: 

Due to a switch problem, T-Server may receive an invalidCallState error in response to a DV-CALL-RECORD message on a position when initiating a call transfer or a conference call.

The following is an example of a scenario that can cause this issue:

  1. DN1 calls an ACD Queue that diverts the call to Position1.
  2. DN1 is placed on hold.
  3. Position1 initiates a consultation call to DN2 and requests IP Call Recording.
  4. T-Server sends a DV-CALL-RECORD message for Position1. The switch responds with an invalidCallState error.
  5. DN2 answers the call.
  6. T-Server successfully resends a DV-CALL-RECORD message.

(ER# 122871014)

Found In: 7.5.015.03 Fixed In: 

For Windows only: T-Server may be unable to connect to an X.25 link. As a workaround, the following parameter should be added to the command line when starting T-Server:

-conn-provider select

(ER# 107803398)

Found In: 7.5.014.00 Fixed In: 

In an AlternateCall scenario where one branch of a consultation call is released, there is no messaging from the switch to indicate the state of the controlling party (held, connected, or ringing). The switch vendor has provided rules for determining the state, specifically, that after the release, the controlling party is in the:

  1. held state if the consultation call was done manually, or
  2. connected state if the consultation call was done via CTI and the controller did not itself cause the release by manually releasing, or
  3. the ringing state if the consultation call was done via CTI and the controller itself did cause the release by manually releasing.

To determine the correct state after the release, T-Server follows rules (1) and (2) but not (3). This is a limitation caused by the fact that it is difficult or impossible to determine if it was the controller that manually released the call branch. Therefore, in cases where the controller manually releases one branch of a CTI consulted call, T-Server will incorrectly place the controlling party in the connected state, instead of the ringing state. That is, it will distribute EventRetrieved (if necessary), but not EventRinging.
