Workforce Scheduling (WFS) clients cannot connect

$

Article ID: 50623 - Last Review: November 17, 2016

Problem

Workforce Scheduling clients cannot connect to the server



Symptoms

When opening the WFS client you will see the error:
“A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to the SQL server. The server was not found or not accessible.”



Cause

The Server and clients may not be on the same domain or for whatever reason the clients cannot resolve the computer name of the server, possibly because of a DNS issue.



Resolution

The WFS clients pull down SQL information from the connection string on the server inside the registry.  If the clients cannot resolve this computer name, we need to do one of the following workarounds:

NOTE:  Do not perform step 2 on the MiContact Center server.  This is for client machines only, and can cause serious issues with real-time and softphone control if performed on the server itself.

  1. Edit the connection string on the server to use the IP instead of the computer name.
  • On the server, type regedit in the Run box then press Enter
  • Expand the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\prairieFyre Software Inc\CCM\Client
  • Double click the ConnectionString key on the right and modify the DataSource
    • You should see something in the string like 'Data Source=CCM\SQLEXPRESS'
    • Replace the computer name with the IP address of the server
    • In this example, after the change it would look like 'Data Source=192.168.1.100\SQLEXPRESS'
  • Create a connection string on the client in the registry. There is logic in the system that if a connection string exists on the client, it will use that instead of looking to the server. (This will need to be done on each client)
    • Type regedit in the RUN box to open the registry editor.
    • expand the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\prairieFyre Software Inc\CCM\Common
    • Create a new String Value called CCSConnectionString and set the value to the same as in step #1
  • Edit the hosts file on the local system to resolve the IP address to a computer name. (This will need to be done on each client)
    • With notepad, edit the hosts file located in "c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts"
    • Add the server IP address and server computer name on a new line below the loopback (127.0.0.1   localhost)
      • Example: 192.168.1.100     CCM
  • Edit the DNS servers to point the server computer name to the correct IP address.

    8.X - Installation of client or server fails deploying a pre-requisite component

    $
    0
    0
    Article ID: 52481 - Last Review: October 26, 2016

    PROBLEM

    The installation of a pre-requisite component fails. This can occur on the MiContact Center server or a Client installation. Not applicable to version 8.1 downloaded September 6, 2016, or later.  The correct installation file is named:  MiCC.8100.20160627.2.EXE.



    SYMPTOMS

    Installer log reports an error like the following:

    Checksum for 'C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\2\chocolatey\vcredist2010\vcredist2010Install.exe' did not meet
     '66B797B3B4F99488F53C2B676610DFE9868984C779536891A8D8F73EE214BC4B' for checksum type 'md5'.

    Chocolatey log (%programdata%\chocolatey\logs) reports an error like the following:

    ERROR: Empty checksums are no longer allowed by default.  Please ask the maintainer to add checksums to this package.  In the meantime, if you need this package to work correctly, please enable the feature allowEmptyChecksums or provide the runtime switch --allowEmptyChecksums 


     

    RESOLUTION


    Download a new copy of the 8.1 installer from Mitel online.  Ensure the correct file name:  MiCC.8100.20160627.2.EXE

    WORKAROUND (Note: some customers have reported this no longer works, in which case the Preventative Measures described below should be followed to create a new Client Component Pack.)

    1. Leave the MiCC Installer Open.
    2. Open a command prompt As Admin.
    3. Run the following command:  cup chocolatey --force
    4. Run the following command:  choco feature enable -n allowemptychecksums
    5. Click Retry on the MiCC Installer.

    PREVENTATIVE MEASURES

    Modifications can be made to files such that the Client Component Pack (CCP) is corrected for Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable, and clients who download the repaired CCP can install successfully:

    1. On the MiCC server, browse to the CCM folder, and into the PFInstaller\Supplemental folder.
    2. Edit the Client Component Pack.deploy file in Notepad.
    3. Search for vcredist2010, and you should find the following line: <add key="Arguments" value="vcredist2010 -source &quot;[INSTALLDIR]PreReqs;http://chocolatey.org/api/v2/&quot; -y" />
    4. Modify and save the end of this line so that it reads:   
                   <add key="Arguments" value="vcredist2010 -source &quot;[INSTALLDIR]PreReqs;http://chocolatey.org/api/v2/&quot; -y -version 10.0.40219.1" />
         NOTE:  If you are unable to save the changes, this means that there is extra security on the file structure.  Run Notepad As Admin in order to edit the file.  If you need to do this, then you must also run CMD As Admin in step 5.
    5. Browse to the CCM\PFInstaller folder in a command prompt and run "Micc.RedistPacker.exe /repackCCP" (without quotes).
         NOTE: The Command prompt will go to the next line immediately.  The MiCC.RedisPacker process can take up to 30 minutes to complete.  It will be visible in your system tray, and task manager until done.
    6. This will fix the CCP, and installation on clients that download the CCP going forward should not experience this issue.

    SUPPLEMENTAL

    If a remote server may be installed, the Remote Server Pack deploy file (same folder location) should receive the same modification. Step 5 would then change to use /repackRSP.

    WFM Connector generating 0KB files for some intervals

    $
    0
    0
    Article ID: 52318 - Last Review: April 17, 2017

    PROBLEM

    When the WFM Connector exports data, some intervals return 0KB files. 



    SYMPTOMS

    In the prairieFyre.WFM.Services.log file you will see warnings like the following:

    Error: 2015-Apr-14 19:15:42.237 SQL Exception encountered in GetDataForPeriod: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. ()


    CAUSE

    There is a timeout value configured in the registry that determines how long a SQL operation can take to connect or complete.  WFM uses this for the completion time.



    RESOLUTION

    You will need to increase the timeout period used for the SQL connection. Prior to MiContact Center version 8.x, you must change the timeout value in the system registry SQL connection string. In version 8.x of MiCC, this string is encrypted and cannot be edited. There is an independent setting for SQL timeout that was introduced in MiCC 8.0.1.0. (Note, you must upgrade to a minimum of 8.0.1.0 to leverage the Global Application Setting timeout value).

    Procedure for version 7.x

    NOTE: This solution requires a registry edit.  Please use caution when making changes.

    1. On the MiContact Center server open the registry editor regedit.exe .
    2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\PrairieFyre Software Inc\CCM\Enterprise\ .
    3. Right click on ConnectionString and select Modify.
    • The contents will look like:  Persist Security Info=false;Integrated Security=SSPI;Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=CCMData;Connect Timeout=30;
    • Modify the Connect Timeout=##; value at the end.  We recommend incrementing the timeout value by 30 (measured in seconds) and testing until you are no longer seeing 0KB files.
  • Go to services.msc .
  • Click on the prairieFyre Workforce Management Service and Restart.
    • NOTE: If you are using the prairieFyre.WFM.Utilities.HistoricalDataRecollector.exe application instead, you will need to restart the program for the settings to take effect.
    Procedure for version 8.0.1.0 and higher:

    1. Launch the GlobalAppSettingEditor.exe located in the server's [InstallDir]\Services\ConfigService folder.
    2. Enter the following:

      Application:prairieFyre.WFM.Service.exe
      SectionGroup:prairieFyre.WFM.Controller.Common.Properties.Settings
      Name: SQLConnectionTimeoutSeconds
      Value: (the timeout period in seconds. Default is 30) 
      Description: (you must enter a value here to save)
    3. Click the OK button. It can take up to 30 seconds for the save to complete.
    4. Go to services.msc .
    5. Click on the prairieFyre Workforce Management Service and Restart.
      • NOTE: If you are using the prairieFyre.WFM.Utilities.HistoricalDataRecollector.exe application instead, you will need to restart the program for the settings to take effect.
    If you are using the prairieFyre.WFM.Utilities.HistoricalDataRecollector.exe application instead, you will need to restart the program for the settings to take effect.

    HowTo - Configure IVR callbacks when more than one area code is considered a local call

    $
    0
    0
    Article ID: 52432 - Last Review: April 24, 2017

    PROBLEM

    When IVR initiates a callback it will determine whether the call requires a 1 for long-distance, or 011 for international based on the saved callback number.  If the server resides in a region where multiple area codes are dialed as local, this can result in misdialed numbers as the 1 for long distance is added to the phone number. 



    SYMPTOMS

    In the device log for the outbound port you will see an error like the following:

    Error: 2016-Apr-22 11:46:34.489   Mitel.Routing.Mitel.Implementation.ConferenceImplementation - Received CallFailedEvent due to Invalid Destination [16151231234]. (4006 - 10.47.34.85)

    In the above example, 615 is considered local by the telephone service provider, however since 613 was configured as the local area code in YourSite Explorer the destination has included a leading 1 for a long distance call. 


     

    WORKAROUND

    There are two ways of working around this limitation.  The first would be to program the ARS Routing rules in your MiVoice Business to correct the outbound dialing digits after IVR has added the leading 1.  This is not the ideal solution in most cases since it requires a large amount of programming on the MiVoice Business.

    The recommended workaround is to use a Variable Compare and Set Variable to determine the outbound digits needed.

    1. Open YourSite Explorer and log in as a System Administrator account.
    2. Click Variables, and then click the Add button at the top.
    3. Call the new variable something intuitive such as ModifiedCallbackNumber
    4. Add a description so others can see the purpose of the variable.
    5. Set the Variable Type to Number.
    6. On the left, open the IVR Routing section.  Select Subroutines.
    7. Open the Outbound subroutine needing modification. 
    • NOTE: If you use multiple forms of outbound callbacks you may need to add these changes to a voice, web, and abandon callback subroutine.
  • In the outbound subroutine, under the designer pane find the Conference with Customer activity (by default it is inside Menu option 2, just under a Save Callback activity).
  • Just above the Conference with Customer activity add a Variable Compare activity.
  • Right-click the Variable Compare and click Add Variable Compare Condition.
  • Click the Add button at the top to add a new line.  Configure it as follows:  <<CallbackClientNumber>>     Starts with     ###   ... where ### is the first area code that is local.
  • Click the Add button at the top to add a new line, and configure the next line the same as above, but with the next local area code.  Repeat until you have one line for each local area code.
  • Click the teal bar to the left of the first variable.  Hold SHIFT and click the teal bar to the left of the last variable.  This should highlight all of the lines.
  • Click the Group OR button at the top.  All the lines should now be linked by an OR.
  • Click OK.
  • You will be back to the subroutine now.  Right-click the Conference with Customer activity and Cut.
  • In the Variable Compare activity, under No Match, right-click and Paste.
  • Click the Conference with Customer under No Match.  In the properties pane on the right ensure that the External checkbox is checked.
  • In the branch for your area codes in the Variable Compare window, right-click and Paste.
  • Click the Conference with Customer activity under the branch for your area codes.  In the properties pane on the right ensure that the External checkbox is unchecked, and the Destination is set to your ModifiedCallbackNumber variable.
  • Above this Conference with Customer activity add a Variable Compare.
  • Right-click the Variable Compare and click Add Variable Compare Condition.
  • Click the Add button at the top to add a new line.  Configure it as follows:  <<CallbackClientNumber>>     Length     10 
  • Under the Match condition, add a Set Variable activity.
  • In the Variable Set activity, set the ModifiedCallbackNumber under the Advanced Text tab to:  <<CallbackClientNumber>> + 80000000000 .  This will take the 10 digit phone number and append a 8 to the beginning.  For example 9051234567 would become 89051234567.  If you use a different number for dialing an outside line you can modify the first digit of the 80000000000 accordingly.
    • NOTE:  This final variable compare ensures that 10 digit numbers have the digit for outbound dialing added, while other numbers (internal, for instance) will not.


    What this means is:

    • IF the callback number provided starts with any of the area codes you specified, the system will not attempt to evaluate whether it is long distance and will dial it as provided, adding a leading 8 if it is a 10-digit number.
    • ELSE if the callback number provided does not start with any of the area codes you specified, the system will evaluate it as normal and append the 1 for long distance if needed.

    Workforce Management data incomplete - How to recover missing data

    $

    0
    Article ID: 52413 - Last Review: June 2, 2016

    PROBLEM

    You find that some data is not being collected correctly by the WFM Connector. 



    SYMPTOMS

    Occasional agent interval data is missing from FTP data sent to WFM server. 



    CAUSE

    Calls which span more than two 15 minute intervals will not be included in the FTP packet since the WFM service is sending data offset only by 15 minutes. For example, a call that arrives at 12:14:59 and lasts until 12:30:01 spans three 15 minute intervals, the 12:00-12:15 interval when it arrived, the 12:15-12:30 interval that it was still occurring in, and the 12:30-12:45 interval when it ended. The 12:00-12:15 interval data was sent to the server at 12:30, so the call that began in interval one and didn't end until interval three is missed in the data upload because that upload occurred at 12:30. 



    RESOLUTION

    Run the historical data recollector with the -auto switch and it will recollect all interval data from the previous day and fill in the missing data.

    By default, the Historical Data Recollector is found in:  [InstallDir]\Services\WFM\prairieFyre.WFM.Utilities.HistoricalDataRecollector.exe

    Create a new scheduled task using the attached batch file to run one hour after nightly maintenance. By default, maintenance runs at 02:00, so schedule the task for 03:00.

    NOTE: The attached batch file assumes a default [InstallDir] of C:\Program Files (x86)\prairieFyre Software Inc\CCM\ or C:\Program Files (x86)\MiContact Center\.  If you have installed to another location, you will need to edit the batch file accordingly.

    NOTE: Prior to version 8.0.1.0, to rebuild AgentScoreCard (adherence) data, the Historical data recollector must be run manually and the timeframe selected must cross midnight for the day you wish to recreate the scorecard for. For example, you want to recreate the scorecard for Jan 19, 2016 - In the recollection tool, set the START DATE to 01-19-2016 and the START TIME to 23:45 then set the END DATE to 01-20-2016 at 00:15.

    KNOWN LIMITATIONS: Same day WFM reports may be incomplete for the above mentioned reasons. Historical reports will be complete if data recollection is performed. 



    VALIDATING DATA RECOLLECTION

    1. Go to the log: [InstallDir]\Logs\DataProcessor.log.

    2. There will be a log line to indicate that the service has started a summarize job:

    ***********************************STARTING LOGGING 2016-Apr-06 02:02:27.357***********************************

    3. Then not far below, look for a line like the following to indicate what date or date range of call records it is summarizing:

    Info 2016-Apr-06 02:02:32.757 Summarize process information - Summarize for 4/5/2016 starting. Start time: 4/6/2016 2:02:32 AM

    4. After summarize has written to SQL you will see some log lines like:

    Info 2016-Apr-06 02:03:19.721 Summarize process information - Summarize for 4/5/2016 ended. End time: 4/6/2016 2:03:19 AM; Duration: 00:00:46.9646057

    Info 2016-Apr-06 02:03:19.722 Summarize process information - End time: 4/6/2016 2:03:19 AM; Duration: 00:00:47.1370509

    5. If there are no errors or warnings in the logs, writing to SQL has completed at the time indicated.

    6. Next look at the Historical Recollector log to ensure it did not start before the data was sent to SQL by the Data Processor Summarize. The log for the recollector is at [InstallDir]\Logs\prairieFyre.WFM.Utilities.HistoricalDataRecollector.log.

    7. You will see a log line to indicate the recollector has started like this:

    ***********************************STARTING LOGGING 2016-Jun-02 03:12:48.940***********************************

    8. You will see a log line a little lower showing the date range of data to re-send over FTP. It should be for the previous day on an automatically configured re-collection and then a log line farther down showing it has completed:

    Info: 2016-Jun-02 03:12:49.298 Data collected and sent. ()

    9. If there are no warnings or errors, then FTP files should havve been re-sent reflecting summarization of the previous days call records.

    PROBLEM

    After assigning ASR and/or TTS licenses in to the MiCC ARID in AMC, these licenses do not activate automatically. 


    RESOLUTION

    The process for enabling these licenses requires a manual step.  You must email NuanceRegistration@Mitel.com with the ARID, and the MAC address of the server where Nuance licensing will reside.  Once manually added, the Order Desk will email the key back to you.

    UI issues when using Windows Display Option to increase Display size to 125% or more

    $
    0
    0
    Article ID: 51772 - Last Review: July 15, 2016

    PROBLEM

    In Windows, setting the Display to 125% or greater magnification causes elements in the MiContact Center software user interface to overlap, making it difficult to properly navigate. 

    In MiCC Version 6.X and 7.X this would manifest as overlapping fields, sometimes blocking your ability to click.

    In MiCC Version 8.X and newer the login screens for applications would have fields such as Username and Password pushed off the edge of the screen (not interactable at all).  At 150% it may appear as if it is simply a splash screen that does not progress.

    On newer tablets and laptops this display setting is sometimes set at 125% or higher by default.


    WORKAROUND

    We recommend using the on-screen magnifying glass instead of a full-display zoom, as this does not cause layout issues in our user interface. 

    NOTE: A reboot may be required after adjusting the windows display settins.
