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

defect

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.
Further 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.
