Detailed list of Resolved Caveats in This Engineering Special

Caveats are ordered by severity then defect number.


Defect Number: CSCuj20734

Component: reporting

Severity: 3

Headline: CVP CCB Dynamic DQRate parameter wrong calculation


Symptom:In
a Cisco Voice Portal (CVP) Courtesy Callback deployment the caller accepts the callback offer, but it is called back earlier than the Estimated Wait Time (EWT) initially heard by the caller.

Conditions:The
caveat is seen when there is more than on call in pending state for Courtesy Callback , and one of these calls is removed from the Courtesy Callback queue before the caller is callback

Workaround:None
More Info: One or more of the following links will take you to an emergency patch called an Engineering Special or ES. If you are not directly experiencing this problem, we encourage you to select or wait for a formally tested fix in an upcoming major, minor, or maintenance release. Installing any interim emergency patch or ES on a production system poses a risk of instability due to the limited testing it receives. If you believe you are currently experiencing this problem and you cannot wait for a later release, please select the link for the ES built for your system. To identify the base version for this ES, please remove _ES?? from the version name listed below. That will give you the version of the tested base release you may install a given ES over. Be sure to read the release notes or Readme file before running the patch installer.

Defect Number: CSCur25267

Component: appsvr

Severity: 3

Headline: CVP heartbeat losses causes java.lang.NullPointerException dumps


Symptom:
Observed loss of heartbeat on CVP, CVP does not respond to HEARTBEAT_REQ well. Tomcat service, eg, tomcat5.exe for CVP 8.5 and tomcat7.exe for CVP 10, consumes large amount of memory and CPU cycles. disk I/O paging spikes.

Conditions:
the symptom is triggered by heartbeat loss.

Workaround:
restart the CVP call server, or reboot CVP server.

Further Problem Description:
Extended CVP heartbeat losses causes ICM Subsystem to loop following error messages continuously through tomcat service. 215: Oct 13 2014 12:23:21.411 -0500: %CVP_10_0_ICM-7-ICM_SS_HANDLED_EXCEPTION: {Thrd=ICM PIM Publisher} ICMPimPublisher:run: Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException 11419513: 10.246.186.215: Oct 13 2014 12:23:21.411 -0500: %CVP_10_0_ICM-3-LOGMSG_ICM_SS_EXCEPTION: com.cisco.cvp.icm.ICMSubsystem::run: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.cisco.cvp.icm.ICMPimPublisher.run(ICMPimPublisher.java:313) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662) This dump of messages internally causing Tomcat to spike up. The issue was explored in the existing defect, and supposedly fixed in CVP version 10.0(1). However, another internal bug raised by CBABU software engineer during testing phase, indicated the issue still exists in version 10.0.1. Discussions with the bug owner, and confirmed the bug is not fixed. One or more of the following links will take you to an emergency patch called an Engineering Special or ES.
