Defect Number: CSCvb43729

Component: appsvr

Severity: 2

Headline: Context Service POD ID Not passed in POD.ID ECC Variable


Symptom:
CVP is not passing Context Service POD ID in POD.ID ECC Variable

Conditions:
In 11.5 CVP is sending Context Service POD ID Information in variable user.microapp.FromExtVXML[4] i.e. Array size of '5' instead of POD.ID ECC Variable

Workaround:
Delete the existing user.microapp.FromExtVXML ECC Variable with array size of 4 and create another user.microapp.FromExtVXML ECC Variable with array size of 6

Further Problem Description:


Defect Number: CSCvb57724

Component: ss_sip

Severity: 2

Headline: CVP 11.5 - Call Studio Script - DNIS is replaced by the ANI


Symptom:
When a call is sent from ICM Script to a CVP Call Studio Script, the DNIS (Orginal Called Number) field is populated with the ANI (Calling Party number) 10.1.1.1.1475254621514.9.HelloWorld,09/30/2016 12:57:01.514,,start,newcall, 10.1.1.1.1475254621514.9.HelloWorld,09/30/2016 12:57:01.514,,start,ani,1001 10.1.1.1.1475254621514.9.HelloWorld,09/30/2016 12:57:01.514,,start,areacode,765 10.1.1.1.1475254621514.9.HelloWorld,09/30/2016 12:57:01.514,,start,exchange,744 10.1.1.1.1475254621514.9.HelloWorld,09/30/2016 12:57:01.514,,start,dnis,1001 //DNIS is 3001 for this call. ANI is 1001.

Conditions:
CVP 11.5

Workaround:


Further Problem Description:
Install CVP11.5.1_ES7 which has a fix for this defect https://software.cisco.com/download/special/release.html?config=d9e9155b48ab4dd05d4a624e5952c934


Defect Number: CSCvc02798

Component: vxml_server

Severity: 2

Headline: Save & Deploy of Context Service Connection Data to VXML Server Fails from OAMP


Symptom:
Save & Deploy of Context Service Connection Data to VXML Server Fails from OAMP

Conditions:
During DeRegistration/Registration of CVP Context Service setup we keep noticing that the Save & Deploy Fails from OAMP Server, It looks like the VXML Server in corresponding CVP Servers are not responding properly but if we restart the CVP Server then the Save & Deploy for another 2-3 attempts will be successful and again starts Failing. Because of this issue the Context Service DeRegistration/Registration Automation Fails and also the Context Service Call Flow is impacted.

Workaround:
Restart CVP(VXML/Call)Server

Further Problem Description:


Defect Number: CSCvc92728

Component: ss_vxml

Severity: 2

Headline: CVP Get Speech microapp not working in 11.5

$$IGNORE
Symptom:
Call flow fails and the VXML Page generated as an output of MicroApp contains empty variable.

Conditions:
Call flow fails and the VXML Page generated as an output of MicroApp contains empty variable.

Workaround:
USER_MICROAPP_TOEXTVXML[1]:;VH_INTERACTION_ID The ECC variable array has an empty value, there is no value between ':' and ';' because of which that empty entry is coming in the VXML which browser is not liking. Workaround could be to modify the ECC variable and remove the ?;? before the VH_INTERACTION_ID variable in the ICM script.

Problem Description:


Defect Number: CSCvd43429

Component: vxml_server

Severity: 2

Headline: CVP v11.5 Call is disconnected after Capture Node


Symptom:
CVP v11.5 Call is disconnected after Capture Node

Conditions: IVR SS was moved to vxmlserver in 11.5 and it handles microapps differently.

Workaround: No work around.

Further Problem Description: IVR SS was moved to vxmlserver in 11.5 and it handles microapps differently. Bug alert verified by escalation Engr Anjum. Anjum Jeelani (anjeelan)


Defect Number: CSCvc22558

Component: appsvr

Severity: 3

Headline: CVP-CS De-Registration & Registration Tasks should be Event based instead of Fixed Timers


Symptom:
CVP-CS De-Registration & Registration Tasks should be Event based instead of Fixed Timers

Conditions: The Context Service De-Registration or Registration should be deterministic i.e. Event Based instead of fixed timers. After De-Registration the automation should not wait for few mins or have fixed timers before starting Registration, Instead the Clients i.e. CVP in this case should enable Register button only after the De-Registration cleanup has completed (i.e If state listener is triggered) We need to have Event based mechanism in place for De-Registration & Registration Button to be even enabled i.e. Based on the Events triggered from CS Cloud the Clients i.e. CVP in this case should enable the Register/De-Register Buttons in the OAMP UI accordingly.

Workaround: Introducing fixed Timers which can lead to inconsistency in Automation

Further Problem Description:


Defect Number: CSCvc43805

Component: vxml_server

Severity: 3

Headline: VXML session count does not match with Licenses in Use

$$PREFCS
Symptom:
VXML session count does not match with the Licenses in Use

Conditions:
During load test

Workaround:
NA

Further Problem Description:
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: CSCvc55365

Component: ss_ged

Severity: 3

Headline: CVP not filling in the user.cvp_server_info variable.


Symptom:
CVP is not filling in the user.cvp_server_info variable.

Conditions: CVP 11.5(1)

Workaround: None.

Defect Number: CSCvc39129

Component: vxml_server

Severity: 6

Headline: VXML Server as TLS client


Symptom:
When using the VXML Server as TLS client, trying to setup TLS session from custom element code to remote web server, only TLS 1.0 is supported. The documentation is not clear about this. We need a clear note providing this information to avoid confusion.

Conditions: CVP 10.5 uses JDK 7 and JDK 7 does not support TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2 for client.

Workaround: There are some potential workarounds, but this is something customer will need to manage from their custom element code. http://superuser.com/questions/747377/enable-tls-1-1-and-1-2-for-clients-on-java-7 So there needs to be explicit code in the element to enable TLS 1.2. TLS 1.0 is supported by default.
