About Cisco ICM (and ICM Engineering Specials)


This engineering special addresses an issue with the VRU PIM component, running as part of a VRU PG connected to Unified CVP, that is in turn, meant to cater to network blind transfer (NBT) requests, to transfer calls to remote sites or destinations. Refer to the Resolved Caveats section, for more details.

ICM Engineering Special Installation Planning


You should consider installing or uninstalling this patch only during a maintenance window, since it involves stopping the VRU PG service. This engineering special contains changes to the following files vrupim.exe and vrupim.pdb 

Installing ICM 10.5(3) ES27


 

·       Stop the VRU PG service using the Unified CCE Service Control

·       Launch the installer provided for ES27 and follow the on screen instructions.

·       Start the VRU PG service using the Unified CCE Service Control

 

Please note: Apply this engineering special on both sides of the duplexed VRU PG pair.

Uninstall Directions for ICM 10.5(3) ES27


To uninstall this patch, go to Control Panel. Select "Add or Remove Programs". Find the installed patch in the list and select "Remove".

Note: Patches have to be removed in the reverse order in which they were installed. For example, if you had installed patches 3, then 5, then 10 for a product, you will need to uninstall patches 10, 5 and 3 in that order to remove all patches for that product.

·       Stop the VRU PG service using the Unified CCE Service Control

·       Launch Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features, and after selecting ES27, click uninstall, and follow the on screen instructions

·       Start the VRU PG service using the Unified CCE Service Control

ICM VRU PIM Encounter Unexpected Crash with ProcessDialogFail

Detailed list of Resolved Caveats in This Engineering Special

Caveats are ordered by severity then defect number.
Be sure to include ALL of the resolved caveats for the files you're delivering, i.e. all of the caveats from the release notes of the previous ES which included these files.


Defect Number: CSCvf90385

Component: pg.vru

Severity: 2

Headline: ICM VRU PIM Encounter Unexpected Crash with ProcessDialogFail


Symptom:
VRU PIM asserts while processing Dialog Fail message from Router.

 

The VRU PIM logs would indicate a call stack similar to below:-

 

Call stack: Address Frame

 

000B2CC5 00448C70 Dialogue::FromRouter_DialogFail+15

000C21B1 00448CF8 VRUPeripheral::ProcessDialogFail+C1

00110BE9 00458EB8 PimIO::PIMInputManager+1E9

001170D4 00458F00 Peripheral::StartInput+84

000C9FC5 0046F498 PimMain::Execute+275

000D2E9B 0046F4B0 Reader::SingleCommand+DB

Conditions:
When a network blind transfer is initiated with CVP as the pre-routing client and the VRU PIM connected to CVP, receives notification of the customer hanging up, at the same time as a CONNECT message from Router was being processed.

Workaround:
None

Further Problem Description:

 

This is akin to Agent transferring the call from customer to CVP and customer disconnects the call at the exact same time. In this particular case, the CONNECT from Router and DISCONNECT event from CVP, arrive at the same millisecond at the VRU PIM, and PIM ends up processing the DISCONNECT event from CVP first and then the CONNECT message from Router later, causing a stale entry in the internal data structure to a deleted dialogue. The VRU PIM eventually asserts, when it processes a Dialog Fail message from Router, matching the dialogue that was deleted. Despite the events being received at around the same millisecond, it the CONNECT message was processed first, and then the Disconnect event report, the dialogue clean up would have been proper. The issue is seen only if the Disconnect event report is processed ahead of the Connect message.
