Unified CCE Engineering Special Installation Planning


Installing Unified CCE 12.5(2) ES43


Installation of this patch requires that all Unified CCE services be shut down during the entire period of installation.

  1. It is always recommended to install this ES during a scheduled downtime.
  2. Using the Unified CCE Service Control, stop all the Unified CCE Services running on the system.
  3. Launch the installer provided and follow the instructions on the screen.

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

 

Planning for maintenance window and downtime

The installation or uninstallation of this patch does not require a down time for Unified CCE Router service. You can install the ES in the following order to ensure no downtime for Router service. Steps are written assuming the ES installed on Side-A first.

·      Stop Side-A of the Router service and other CCE services.

·      Install the ES on Side-A. Start on Side-A.

·      Stop Side-B of the Router service.

·      Install the ES on Side-B. Start the Router service on Side-B.

These steps will ensure the Router service is updated without bringing down both services together. The Contact Center routing service is operational without any downtime while installing the ES.

Congestion Control will cause INCRP to bounce

Detailed list of Resolved Caveats in This Engineering Special

Caveats are ordered by severity then defect number.


Defect Number: CSCwm74585

Component: router

Severity: 2

Headline: Congestion Control will cause INCRP to bounce


Symptom:
If using INCRP peripheral, when Congestion control gets invoked, it will cause a condition where INCRP will not respond to NM, triggering Node Manager to forcefully restart the INCRP process.

Conditions:
Using INCRP and Congestion Control is invoked.

Workaround:
None. Once call volume decreases to a point that Congestion Control is no longer being invoked, INCRP will correctly communicate with NM and stop bouncing.

Further Problem Description:
NM will cause the INCRP process to bounce during congestion control.
