About Cisco Unified CCE (and Unified CCE Engineering Specials)


 

The Engineering Special (ES) is a cumulative update applied at the Unified Contact Center Enterprise (CCE) server level. Each ES includes all features, security patches, and resolved caveats from the base release, tailored to specific server roles within the system. The ES packages are categorized as follows:

  1. Router/Logger/Rogger ES – Applies to Router, Logger, and Rogger servers.
  2. Peripheral Gateway/Dialer ES – Applies to Peripheral Gateway and Dialer servers.
  3. Admin Workstation/Distributor ES – Applies to Admin Workstation, Distributor, and Admin Client servers.
  4. Common ES – Applies to common CCE components across all server types, such as Diagnostic Portico, Tomcat, and other security-related updates.

 

Each ES is cumulative within its specific category. These ES packages are released quarterly, but only if updates are available for that category. If no changes are required for a category in a given quarter, an ES for that category will not be issued.

 

To ensure the latest patches are applied:

 

Example:
If both Router/Logger/Rogger updates and Common ES changes are required, first install the Router/Logger/Rogger ES, followed by the Common ES to ensure all components are up-to-date.

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) ES69

To install Unified CCE 12.6(2) ES69, 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.


Uninstall Directions for Unified CCE 12.6(2) ES69
