Unified CCE Engineering Special Installation Planning

Planning for maintenance window and downtime

The installation and uninstallation of this patch require a planned maintenance window, with an anticipated downtime of a few seconds to a few minutes. This downtime is necessary due to the synchronous high availability mode of the Router and Peripheral Gateway (PG). The duplex side of the Router and OPC process must be on the same build. Therefore, before starting the upgraded side, the older side must be stopped.

Installing Unified CCE 12.6(2) ES43


To install the Unified CCE 12.6(2) ES43, follow the steps:

  1. Using Unified CCE Service Control, stop all the Unified CCE services running on the system for the whole installation process.
  2. Launch the installer and follow the instructions on the screen.
  3. After the installation of the engineering special, if the Unified CCE services are set to manual, start all the services using Unified CCE Service Control.

If the Unified CCE Services are set to manual, using the Unified CCE Service Control, start all the Unified CCE Services.


To uninstall Unified CCE 12.6(2) ES43, follow the steps:

  1. Go to Control Panel.
  2. Select Add or Remove Programs.
  3. Find the installed patch and click Remove.

Note: Remove patches in the reverse order of their installation. For example, if you installed patches 3, then 5, then 10 for a product, you must uninstall patches 10, 5, and 3, in that order, to remove the patches from that product.

Updated Features

64 bit Router:

If you are using 64 bit Router feature, On top of this (ES43), ES46 should be installed on Router

CSCwi94173:

Once the ES43 is installed and campaign manager is started, the registry PersonalCallbackReattemptNoRingBack will be created under the path (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Cisco Systems, Inc.\ICM\< instance_name >\Logger) By default, this Decimal registry value will be 1 Indicates whether the personal callback should be counted as attempted or not. When the default key value is set to 1, if no ringback is received when attempting to call the customer, the call attempt will not be counted, and it will be rescheduled for the next business day. When the default key value is set to 0, the dialer must reschedule the personal callback after NoAnswerRetryTime. If no ringback is received for the customer call, the call attempt will be counted, and the callback will be rescheduled to redial until it reaches the maximum number of attempts.
Note: This defect has a dependency on ES44, make sure the registry is updated under the path (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Cisco Systems, Inc.\ICM\< instance_name >\Dialer).For further details, please refer to the readme of ES44
