Additional Optional Updates


ASG Plugin
The ASG Plugin is a serviceability application which enables secure access to the server when installed using
a challenge-response mechanism. This update removes the presence of unnecessary accounts which are
given permission to access the files in the applications directory. This effectively restricts access to the
applications files to administrator users only.

The ASG Plugin currently placed on the server, not installed, does not have this patch and if required this
version can be downloaded and placed on the server instead of the incumbent version.

This is optional in that only if you wish to install and use this plugin should it be installed; otherwise it is not
required for normal Contact Center operations

File Name MD5 Checksum


ASGPlugin4WindowsX64.zip 76aaa6844a4863a86884d19a0b409558

SNMP Trap Configuration File


An SNMP Trap Configuration File (.cnf) is delivered containing the Avaya recommended events for SNMP
capture. The configuration file can be imported into the SNMP Event Translator that is available after
installing SNMP on the Windows Server. SNMP traps will be automatically generated and forwarded to the
configured NMS system for all Event Viewer events that have a match in the configuration file.

The SNMP Trap Configuration File can be imported into the SNMP Event Translator using evntcmd.exe from
the command prompt. A restart of the SNMP service is required after which the file content can be viewed
using the SNMP Event Translator GUI (evntwin.exe). Exact details for the procedure are available in Windows
Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2016 documentation.

The SNMP Trap Configuration File is available for download from the support site.

This is optional in that it should only be imported if you wish to forward SNMP traps to an NMS system for
treatment or monitoring. Otherwise it is not required for normal Contact Center operations.

Note: As detailed in the ACCS deployment guide, SNMP should be installed on the Windows Server prior to
deployment of the ACCS application.

Migration Tool for RCW Generated Reports


This application is required when exporting Historical Reporting templates on an NES6/NES7/ACC 6.x server
as part of a server migration. The most up to date version of the application is available with the Service
Pack from the ACCS lineup above.

The utility is available in: Install Software\CCMA\RCW_Migration_Utility

SCT's behavior on the "Users" sheet updates in 7.1.2.1 (CC-23193)


From previous version to 7.1.1: right after user logins to CCMA successfully, the SCT's Users sheet does not
have any Contact types or Skillsets columns (please see the image below). It just handles Login action only.

Usually, user will click "Data Download" button to download both headers and data of the selected CCMS.
Headers include Contact type names and Skillset names of the selected CCMS. Headers will change if user
selects another CCMS (because each CCMS has their different Contact type names and Skillset names). After
that, user can use those available headers to upload/update Agents, Sup, or Sup/Agents to that CCMS.

This Jira CC-23193 was raised in 7.1.1. The originator did not click "Data Download" button first, so headers
were not available. They had to manually input 2 new columns: "Voice" (as Contact type) and
"Default_Skillset" (as Skillset) to test uploading agents. However, two new columns were added after "_CT"
& "_SK:" columns which are not correct order. (It should be "Voice", "_CT:", "Default_Skillset", "_SK:").
Therefore, it gets error when uploading user. That is why this Jira was raised.

Page 8
Avaya Contact Center Select 7.1.2.1
Release Notes

To fix this Jira in 7.1.2.1, we had discussed and agreed that SCT should change its behavior a little bit.
Therefore, SCT has added the new task into the "Login" button.

This Login button will do 2 tasks:


1. Login to CCMA Server.
2. Automatically download headers of User sheet (including all Contact type names and Skillset names
that the selected CCMS is having). Then, an info message will be shown to inform user that headers
have been updated:

Page 9
Avaya Contact Center Select 7.1.2.1
Release Notes

That means, after Login successfully, user has all headers available in Users sheet:

Since then, user do not need to manually input headers any more. To test uploading, user just input value
under headers as usual.

PLATFORM VENDOR INDEPENDENCE (PVI)


Hardware Requirements
For Single Server deployments of, Voice and Multimedia with Avaya Media Server with/without Workspaces
on a physical platform, a Gigabit Network Adapter is required that supports Receive Side Scaling (RSS) with 4
RSS queues.

Single Server deployments of, Voice and Multimedia with Avaya Media Server with/without Workspaces, are
supported on physical mid-range to high-end servers only, as defined in Avaya Aura Contact Center
Overview and Specification document. Lab and customer deployments must adhere to the minimum RAM
requirements. Failure to do so can result in Avaya Aura Media Server being unable to launch.

Single Server deployments of, Voice and Multimedia with Avaya Aura Media Server, now deploy AAMS as a
Hyper-V Linux virtual machine. Workspaces is also deployed as a Hyper-V Linux solution.
A hardware requirement is that CPU Virtualization / Virtualization Technology is enabled in the host
Windows Server BIOS. The available virtualization settings vary by hardware provider and BIOS version. Read
your hardware provider's documents covering virtualization support to determine which settings to
configure. This is commonly found in BIOS System Settings -> Processor settings.

Refer to document AACC Overview and Specification for additional information on Hardware requirements.

Recommended Network Adapter


The following RSS capable Gigabit Network adapter has been tested successfully with Single Server
deployments – Intel(R) Gigabit 4P I350-t Adapter

manager. This is applied in both fresh installations and upgrades.

AAMS is supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.x 64-bit OS. It is not supported 32-bit RHEL. It is not
supported on any other version of Linux.

Windows Server 2019 is supported starting from 7.1.2 Post GA Patch Bundle (Feb 2022). Patch Bundle
contains a number of critical compatibility fixes and must be applied on all Windows Server 2019 ACCS
installations. The Server OS guidelines listed in the ACCS 7.1.2 Overview & Specification apply to Windows
Server 2019 also.

Edge Support
Element Manager and CCMA require that Edge be configured to run the web sites in “Compatibility Mode”.
Microsoft support indicates that some websites might not display correctly in Edge. For example, portions of
a webpage might be missing, information in a table might be in the wrong locations, or colors and text might
be incorrect. Some webpages might not display at all.
If a portion of the webpage doesn't display correctly, try one or more of the following procedures:

Note: IE Compatibility Mode must be enabled on Edge.

To turn on Compatibility View please refer to the document “Deploying Avaya Contact Center Select
Software Appliance dated April 2022.
Follow the instructions in Chapter 17: Customizing the solution under “Internet Explorer mode and
Compatibility View configuration on the domain server”.

The Avaya Agent Desktop (AAD) uses the Microsoft Edge browser as a rendering engine to display web
content. To display sites that are compatible only with Internet Explorer, you must enable IE mode for Agent
Desktop using new functionality in Contact Center Multimedia Administration.

CCMA Support with Edge in IE mode


For all guides and Edge configuration steps, please refer to Avaya Aura® Contact Center Client
Administration document, part "Accessing CCMA using Microsoft Edge with Internet Explorer mode" (page
31 – Configure local PCs) or “Internet Explorer mode and Compatibility View configuration on the domain
server” (page 35 – Configure domain server for PCs).

The important note is you can disable Internet Explorer 11 browser but cannot remove the Internet Explorer
11 browser from your computer (Windows 10) or your server (Windows 2012, Windows 2016 and Windows
2019) as the IE engine is used by IE mode, otherwise Microsoft Edge cannot launch CCMA.

Windows 11 Pro does not have Internet Explorer 11 browser. It has Microsoft Edge browser only so users
need to configure Microsoft Edge with Internet Explorer mode for CCMA.

Microsoft .NET Framework Support


Avaya Contact Center Select 7.1.1.0 is not dependent on a specific version of Microsoft .NET Framework.
This release supports Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 through 4.7.x

Windows 11 Pro Support Only


Windows 11 Pro is supported starting from 7.1.2.1 Post GA Patch Bundle (March 2023) for Avaya Agent
Desktop and Contact Center Manager Administration. The Windows 10 OS guidelines listed in the AACC 7.1.2

ESXi/vCenter 6.5 Limitations


Deploying OVA’s to an ESXi 6.5 host using the desktop vSphere Client is not supported by VMware and the
vSphere Web Client or Host Client must be used instead. It is recommended that you use vSphere Web
Client (https://FQDN-or-IP-Address-of-VC/vsphere–client) when deploying new OVA’s since there are known
issues with the Host Client (https://FQDN-or-IP-Address-of-ESXi-host/UI).
The following issues exist when using the Host Client to deploy OVA:
• During deployment you are not prompted to select a profile. To work around this, you will need to
manually edit the VM Virtual Hardware settings before powering the VM on.
• Properties specified when deploying OVA are ignored and they must be re-entered during the first
boot process. Drop-down lists are not provided, and property defaults are not populated.

DEPLOYMENT & CONFIGURATION INFORMATION


Pre-Installation Considerations

Windows Firewall Service


Windows Firewall service have to be started and enabled on automatic startup before installation or
upgrade of 7.1.2.1 release started. You can turn off and disable Windows Firewall Service after successful
installation. In case of using own firewall software please configure with Port Matrix accordingly.

Tools for extracting software


It is advised that you utilize the latest versions of your preferred tools for unpacking the Avaya Contact
Center Select software.

Important - Default Out-of-Box Certificate Removal

Removal of Default Out-of-box Certificates

Default out-of-box certificates will be removed during the installation of the Contact Center 7.1.x.x Release.
Custom certificates must be applied to your system before upgrade begins, or after upgrade completion,
using the Security Manager application.

Failure to create custom security certificates prior to or after the upgrade to 7.1.x.x will result in the loss of
functionality, specifically the TAPID link to IPO on Avaya Contact Center Select (if IPO has not been
configured to accept TCP connections).

As well as the loss of functionality any previously secure connections will now not be secure until custom
security certificates are put in place.

Removal of default certificates from the Contact Center server will result in additional configuration on other
services that make up the solution, such as IPO, as they will have to be setup to accept the new custom
certificates.

Disable Windows Automatic Maintenance


Windows Server 2012 R2
Windows Server 2012 R2and 2016 provides a centralized mechanism for maintaining the operating system.

Avaya Contact Center Select 7.1.2.1
Release Notes

Voice & Multimedia Contact Server with Avaya Aura Media Server
Avaya Contact Center Select no longer supports the Avaya Aura Media Server (AAMS) installed co-resident
with ACCS on a Windows Server platform. This release achieves a single box solution where ACCS and AMS
are running on the same physical server by deploying the AAMS OVA as a virtual server on the Windows
Server 2012 or 2016 Hyper-V Manager. This is applied in both fresh installations and upgrades scenarios.

Hardware considerations:
• CPU Virtualization / Virtualization Technology must be enabled in the host Windows Server BIOS.
The available virtualization settings vary by hardware provider and BIOS version. Read your
hardware provider's documents covering virtualization support to determine which settings to
configure. This is commonly found in BIOS System Settings -> Processor settings
• The Hyper-V deployment of Linux AAMS 8.0/10.1 is only supported on physical mid-range to high-
end servers as defined in Avaya Aura Contact Select Solution Description document. Lab & site
deployments must adhere to the minimum RAM requirements

Software considerations:
• As in previous releases, you cannot deploy a Voice and Multimedia Contact Server with AAMS in a
virtual environment. This will be blocked by the Universal Installer and Avaya Release Pack Installer
applications
• The AAMS should be upgraded or patched following the AAMS procedures for virtual deployments
as outlined in product documentation. For ACCS 7.0.3 and later releases, the co-resident Linux based
AAMS Hyper-V image will not be upgraded or downgraded using the Avaya Release Pack Installer.
• If upgrading from ACCS 7.0.2 or earlier, it is necessary to manually backup the AAMS database
BEFORE upgrading the ACCS and restore the AAMS database post upgrade to ensure that all media
files are preserved. Detailed steps are documented in the Backing up the Avaya Aura® Media Server
database and Restoring the Avaya Aura® Media Server database sections of the Upgrading and
patching Avaya Contact Center Select user guide.

Orchestration Designer Scripts


Before upgrading you must ensure that all scripts are validated and compile successfully in Orchestration
Designer. Default scripts are given as example and must be changed as per customer needs.

Release Notes

Installation
New Installations

Update Manager is missing CCMS patches after fresh installation. Please review known issue
section for CC-25452.

Install-time Patching
Install-time patching is mandatory for Avaya Contact Center Select software deployments using the provided
DVD media.

Reboot required before Ignition Wizard


After the Universal installer has completed, a reboot is required before launching the Ignition Wizard. If a
reboot prompt is not displayed, please reboot the system anyway before launching the Ignition Wizard.
Failure to do so may result in an Ignition Wizard failure.

Mandatory Execution of Ignition Wizard – Patch Deployments


After deployment of the ACCS software using the DVD installer, if the Ignition Wizard process is deferred, it
will not be possible to install Patches (DPs) either via Update Manager or manually (double-clicking on the
installer file). Successful execution of the Ignition Wizard prior to applying Patches to the system is
mandatory.
This does not affect the removal or reinstallation of ACCS Release Packs, only ACCS Patches (DPs).

System Backup after Ignition (IMPORTANT)


A full ACCS backup must be taken after the ignition process has completed and before the system is
commissioned or used.

This is important for systems that will be used as migration targets. The CCMA data can only be migrated to
a system that does not contain any customer data. The CCMA migration will fail if the system is found to
contain data other than what was injected by the Ignition Wizard.

If the CCMA migration fails in this way, the solution is to go back to the post-ignition backup or re-install the
system.

Security configuration during Ignition Wizard (IMPORTANT)


During the import of P7 chained certificate, Ignition Wizard may display the message "Import of the security
certificate has failed". In this case, skip the security configuration step and after Ignition Wizard finishes and
the server restarts, use Security Manager.
Please also see Known Issues (Installation) section for more details.

Release Notes

Upgrades

Direct upgrades from 7.0.0.0 and 7.0.0.1 to 7.1.x.x are not supported. You must first
upgrade to 7.0.1.x before upgrading to 7.1.x.x

If you applied a license file on 7.1.1.0 release manually, then


AvayaCC_CCLM_7.1.1.0.4.5_Patch must be installed prior to upgrade. Otherwise, license
file will be lost during upgrade. You will have to re-apply the license manually after the
upgrade is completed.

Avaya Release Pack Installer


A new application is provided within the Avaya Contact Center Select Release Pack bundle called the Avaya
Release Pack Installer (RPI). This application provides an automated method of updating existing Avaya
Contact Center Select 7.x software and must be used when upgrading to this software release.

The application will perform the following actions


1. remove all installed ACCS 7.x.x.x Product Updates (Feature Pack/Service Packs and Patches)
2. remove all unwanted ACCS Third Party software
3. install required Third Party Software for the release
4. install the latest ACCS software from within the release pack bundle
5. install GA Patches from any available GA Patch bundle

Application Location:
The Avaya Release Pack Installer is contained within the Release Pack bundle in folder
‘AvayaReleasePackInstaller’. The application supports the installation of Generally Available Patch bundle
content. Please note, the Avaya Release Pack Installer is run via the setup.exe and NOT the
AvayaReleasePackInstaller.exe.

Reboot Prompts
Before running the Avaya Release Pack Installer application, if the operating system or other installed
software display prompts for a reboot, please reboot your system.
If additional reboots are required during execution of the Avaya Release Pack Installer application, a prompt
will be displayed to the user.
All reboot prompts should be actioned – failure to reboot when requested will adversely affect the
installation of software.

Limited Patch Installation


The Avaya Release Pack Installer application does not support the installation of limited patches. To deploy
limited patches the Update Manager application must be used.

Note: If upgrading, the Avaya Contact Center Select Update Manager application resident on the system will
fail to install the ACCS 7.1.x.x Release Pack software. This is due to third party software changes between
ACCS 7.0.x.x and ACCS 7.1.x.x

Note: It is not possible to install Generally Available patch (DP) content until the Ignition Wizard has been
run successfully.

Avaya Contact Center Select 7.1.2.1
Release Notes

Update Manager
Use the Contact Center Update Manager to view the patches currently on a Contact Center server. You can
use Update Manager to install and uninstall patch bundles in the correct order.
You must install patches for each server application in order of patch number, for example; 01, 02, 03.
You cannot use Update Manager to install Release Packs, Feature Packs, or Service Packs; you must use the
Contact Center Release Pack Installer (ARPI).

Update Configurator
A new application is provided within the Avaya Contact Center Select Release Pack bundle called the Update
Configurator. This application provides an automated mechanism to deploy and configure the Linux Hyper-V
AAMS upgrade and the Avaya Contact Center Select Workspaces Cluster. This application will launch
automatically after the Avaya Release Pack Installer reboot has completed.

Avaya Contact Center Select 7.1.2.1
Release Notes

Downgrades

Important: Direct downgrades from 7.1.x.x to 7.0.0.0 or 7.0.0.1 are not supported.
You must downgrade from 7.1.x.x to 7.0.1.x first, before downgrading to 7.0.0.x

If local WebLM is used then turn off security using Security Manager before
downgrade to 7.0.x. Security can be re-enabled after downgrade is finished.

Avaya Release Pack Installer


To downgrade to an earlier 7.0.3.x, 7.0.2.x, 7.0.1.x, or 7.1.0.x release, you must use the Avaya Release Pack
Installer which accompanies that target release.
E.g. if the downgrade target is release 7.0.1.1, you must download the complete 7.0.1.1 release bundle from
the support site.

Instructions:
Refer to the Release Notes for the target Release for downgrade instructions.

High Availability Maintenance Utility

After a downgrade, certain High Availability and Configuration information is lost. It is therefore necessary to
run the High Availability Maintenance Utility to restore this information.

This utility should be run after ARPI has been run and completed the downgrade, but before the Server has
been rebooted.

Application Location:
The High Availability Maintenance Utility is installed with this release of the software and can be found in the
following location:

D:\Avaya\Contact Center\Common Components\HighAvailabilityMaintenance\HAMaintenance.exe

Instructions:
1. Launch the HAMaintenance.exe from the above location.
2. Use the Browse button to select the correct file to import.
a. The correct file will be in the .:\Avaya\Cache\Cachesys folder and will be named
SYSDataExport-YYYY-MM-DD-ttttt.xml where “YYYY-MM-DD-ttttt” are a date/time stamp of
when the file was created.
b. If there are multiple files with this naming format then the newest one should be selected.
3. Once a file has been selected, click the Import button.
4. Progress will be indicated on the screen and a MsgBox will be presented to the user when the import
has completed. The Import should take no longer than 5 minutes.

Release Notes

Avaya Aura Media Server


For co-resident Voice and Multimedia Contact Center with AAMS it is not possible to downgrade the Linux
Hyper-V AAMS once it has been deployed and configured. The newly upgraded Hyper-V AAMS 8.0 can be
maintained and is supported with ACCS 7.0.2 onwards.

Support for 1500 applications (scripts) in ACCS/AACC


The downgrade will not support systems having greater than 1000 active scripts. After the downgrade, TFE
will be explicitly limited 1000 active scripts, and the database will contain more than 1000 active scripts. The
customers who downgrade will need to reduce their active scripts back to 1000 before downgrade to 7.1.0.x
or earlier releases.

Avaya Contact Center Select 7.1.2.1
Release Notes

Post-Installation Configuration
Agent Controls Browser Application – Mandatory certificate with IOS 9
From IOS9 any IOS device running the Agent Controls Browser Application to connect to ACCS will be
required to provide a certificate.

Multimedia Prerequisites for server migration


This is only applicable to users migrating to new servers and keeping the same server names:
In this scenario users must select the same Multimedia Database Drive during the ACCS 7.0 install as
contained in Backup. If post install, users migrate a database backup from a previous version of AACS and
the Multimedia Database drive defined in the backup does not match the Multimedia Database drive
selected during the 7.0 install users will be unable to open attachments that were restored from the backup.

Server Utility - Users.


All customer created desktop users in Contact Center Server Utility have their passwords reset during the
upgrade. To update the passwords to the correct values, use Contact Center Server Utility to delete and
recreate all of the customer created users.

Avaya Aura Media Server


Avaya Aura Media Server Configuration
The following configuration must be carried out on all AAMS servers (VMWare OVA and Hyper-V).
1. Launch AAMS Element Manager and browse to System Configuration >> Network Settings >> General
Settings >> Connection Security
2. Un-tick “Verify Host Name” setting and hit the “Save” button followed by “Confirm”.
3. If using TLS SRTP media security then skip to step 6.
4. Browse to System Configuration >> Network Settings >> General Settings >> SOAP
5. Add ACCS IP Address into SOAP Trusted Nodes.
6. Hit the “Save” button followed by “Confirm”
7. Browse to System Configuration >> Signalling Protocols >> SIP >> Nodes and Routes
8. Add ACCs IP Address into SIP Trusted Nodes.
9. Ensure that AAMS can resolve both the hostname and Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the CCMA
server by pinging the CCMA hostname and FQDN from the AAMS.
• Name resolution can be achieved either by using a DNS server or editing the hosts file on
the AAMS.
• The AAMS OVA and Hyper-V deployments do not allow root ssh access, so the ability to
edit the hosts file is provided in Element Manager:
• On EM navigate to System Configuration > Network Settings > Name Resolution
and enter the hostname and FQDN name resolution of the CCMA server.
• On PVI AAMS running on customer supplied Red Hat servers, EM does not provide Name
Resolution functionality. Host and FQDN resolution need to be added to /etc/hosts file on
Red Hat server.

Avaya Aura Media Server - Upgrade - License


If the AAMS Element Manager -> Element Status is displaying "Media Server instance is not licensed" then
the following configuration steps must be carried out to update the AAMS license:
1. On ACCS launch SCMU and navigate to LM tab

Page 27
Avaya Contact Center Select 7.1.2.1
Release Notes

2. Shut down License Manager


3. Start License Manager

Avaya Aura Media Server - Upgrade - Service Status


If the AAMS Element Manager -> Element Status -> Service Status is displaying Stopped state, and it is not
possible to Start AAMS via Element Manager then the following configuration steps must be carried out to
update the Service Status:
1. Open an SSH session to the AAMS e.g. using putty
2. Login with cust and <custpw> entered during configuration.
3. At the prompt enter 'reboot' and 'y' to confirm
4. Allow time for the AAMS to restart and verify the state is Started in Element Manager -> Element Status -
> Service Status

Supporting Powered by Avaya Deployment


A new licensing capability is introduced in ACCS 7.0.3.0 to support ACCS deployment in a Powered by Avaya
cloud environment. Powered by Avaya licenses are temporary and expire after 14 days. The licenses are
automatically renewed 3 days before the licenses expire. The new licensing capability provides the
mechanism to force ACCS License Manager to load the renewed licenses.
A new configuration field is introduced to the configuration tab of License Manager Configuration Tool. The
Reload Before Expiry (Hours) field defines when the license reload will occur. The new configuration field is
present for all deployments. The default value in the field is zero. The zero value indicates that the reload is
not enabled. To enable the capability, the value in the field must be greater than zero. As licenses are
renewed 72 hours before expiry, an appropriate value will be less than 72 hours.

WebLM
WebLM provides Contact Center licensing in an ACCS deployment. A WebLM instance is available as part of
ACCS. This instance is called Local WebLM. Alternatively, an independent WebLM can be deployed using
the WebLM OVA. The independent WebLM is called Remote WebLM. Local WebLM and Remote WebLM
are supported on all ACCS deployment platforms and all ACCS deployment configurations.
WebLM generate a unique ID to identify the WebLM instance. The ID is called Host ID. The Host ID is used
to lock a license file to the customer deployment. The Host ID is generated by WebLM and is published as a
server property in the Web License Manager web application. For Local WebLM, the web application can be
accessed from https://localhost:8444/WebLM. For Remote WebLM, the web application can be accessed
from https://[HOST]:52233/WebLM.
The Host ID generated by WebLM for a virtualized deployment is a function of the IP address and the
VMware UUID. To guarantee a constant Host ID is generated by WebLM in Business Continuity
deployments, configure the managed IP address lower than both the active and standby IP addresses.
Managed IP address configuration is effected using the Business Continuity configuration utility.

EWC – Server name change procedure: Steps when removing CCMM patches
This section is only applicable to systems running Enterprise Web Chat (EWC). EWC is a licensed feature
introduced in ACCS 7.1.0.0 offering an alternative to the traditionally available Web Communications. EWC
uses a new chat engine and because of this additional steps are required when performing a server name
change on the CCMM server with EWC installed. These steps are fully documented in the Administering
ACCS document. In the event that CCMM patches are removed from the CCMM server after a server name
change operation has occurred, it will be necessary to reapply the EWC specific name change steps again.
These steps are outlined below and should be run after CCMM patches have been removed/re-applied.

• The port number changes to 31390 for HTTPS.
• An FQDN can be used if a DNS server is setup with Hostname mapped to the Cluster Virtual IP
Address.

Workspaces with ACCS Business Continuity


Avaya Workspaces supports Avaya Contact Center Select Business Continuity for fault tolerant and resilient
contact center solutions. To configure Workspaces with Business Continuity, you install and configure
Workspaces separately on both ACCS servers to provide two independent Workspaces clusters.
Please refer to the customer documentation for further details.

Workspaces Troubleshooting
There may be a requirement to restart a Workspaces Cluster node or container in the event of a failure
scenario. Detailed procedures are provided in this section. However, restart procedures should only be
executed where it’s clear that this is the appropriate recovery action.

How to restart a Workspaces cluster

Virtual Environment Deployment

• Login to vCenter
• Power down the master node in Workspaces Single Node Cluster
• Power up the master node

Page 36
Avaya Contact Center Select 7.1.2.1
Release Notes

• Login to the master node and run the command “kubectl get nodes”
• Verify that the master node is “ready”

Physical Server Deployment

• Login to hyperv manager


• Power down the three nodes in Workspaces Cluster (i.e master, node1 and node2)
• Power up the master node
• Login to the master node and run the command “kubectl get nodes”
• Verify that the master node is “ready”
• Power up node1 and node2
• From the master node, run the command “kubectl get nodes” and verify all nodes are “ready”

How to restart a Workspaces container in the event of a failure

Virtual Environment Deployment

• Login to vCenter
• Login to the master node and run the command “kubectl get pods”
• Verify the pod name and execute “kubectl delete pod <pod name>”
• From the master node, run the command “kubectl get pods” and verify the pod has restarted

Physical Server Deployment

• Login to hyperv manager


• Login to the master node and run the command “kubectl get pods”
• Verify the pod name and execute “kubectl delete pod <pod name>”
• From the master node, run the command “kubectl get pods” and verify the pod has restarted

How to collect logs for the relevant containers

You can collect the Workspaces logs via Workspaces service utility or:

Virtual Environment Deployment

• Login to vCenter
• Login to the master node and run the command “kubectl logs <pod name>”
• Login to the master node and run the command “kubectl logs <pod name> -p” for previous container
logs.

Physical Server Deployment

• Login to hyperv manager


• Login to the master node and run the command “kubectl logs <pod name>”
• Login to the master node and run the command “kubectl logs <pod name> -p” for previous container
logs.

Web Statistics widget work on the clients without internet connection

As part of the features parity between AAAD and Workspaces, Web Statistics feature was added to
Workspaces as a separate widget. But Web statistic widget used the 'Google Charts' to render the charts and
bars and the Google library is dynamically loading from Google services on widget initialization. Google Chart
API is not permitted to work offline since it is against their Terms Of Service.

Now Web Statistics widget use another library mdbootstrap to render charts which can work offline.

As a result Web Statistics widget works as expected even on the clients that don’t have an access to internet.

SECURITY INFORMATION
Avaya Contact Center Select security certificate migration considerations
Migrating security custom security certificates has caveats that require planning and consideration before
beginning the process.

Migration from 6.4 to 7.x


Due to the changes made in ACCS 7.x release regarding improved security stance, migration of the ACCS 6.4
certificate store to ACCS 7.x or higher is not possible.

The only path available when moving to ACCS 7.x from ACCS 6.4 is the creation of a new store on the ACCS
7.x system, the signing of the certificate signing request (CSR) by a selected Certificate Authority and the
importing of these new security certificates into the new store.

No elements of the security store from ACCS 6.4 can be migrated to ACCS 7.x

Migrating ACCS Security Store for ACCS 7.0 to 7.x.x


The following sections are applicable to migrations from 7.0 to later versions only.

Note: ACCS releases prior to 7.0.3 come with the default store as standard and as such does not need to be
migrated from previous releases. Please be advised this default store is not to be used in a production
environment and is designed to be used in a test/configuration only situation.

Name of Server is important


When intending to reuse existing security certificates on a new system then the receiving system will have to
have the exact name as the donor system otherwise the security certificate will not match the underlying
server. If the security certificate and underlying server name do not match, then warnings and errors will be
presented to the user, when attempting to use this security certificate to establish a secure connection.
Note
The recommendation is that, if possible, new security certificates be generated for the new system
rather than reuse security certificates from another system.

Restoring Certificate store to a new system


If the decision to reuse the security certificates then the migration of security certificates is a manual process
and requires that the security certificate store on the server be backed up using the Security Manager
Backup feature.

Page 38
Avaya Contact Center Select 7.1.2.1
Release Notes

This will back up the necessary files required to be imported back in on the new system using the Security
Manager Restore feature.

The receiving system name must be the same as the donor system otherwise errors will occur when
attempting to use the security certificates to establish a secure connection.
Note
The backed up files will be modified if coming from a release prior to 7.0 during the restore process
so it is recommended that you keep a copy of the original backed up files.

See Appendix C – Store Maintenance for details on backing up and restoring the certificate store.

Page 39
Avaya Contact Center Select 7.1.2.1
Release Notes

From Avaya Contact Center Select release 7.0.2 fresh installations, Out of The Box
(OTB) security store and AES specific security certificates are no longer provided.
From release 7.0.3.0 fresh installations of the solution will not provide the default security store with
default security certificates for AACC and the AES.

Fresh installations
For fresh installs the customer will have to create a custom security store for the server during the Ignition
Wizard security configuration stage to enable the On by Default and secure the server and services as was
provided automatically in previous releases.

If the Ignition Wizard security configuration is not completed fully then upon completion of the Ignition
Wizard phase and reboot of the server the services will not be secure and the SIP-CTI link to AES will not be
operational as it supports secure connection only.

Ignition Wizard has been enhanced to allow the creation and population of the contact center security store
during the configuration phase. If this is skipped then warnings will be given and Security Manager
(previously Security Manager) can be used to complete the creation and/or population of the security store.

From Avaya Contact Center Select release 7.0.3, upgrades to 7.0.3 or higher will
remove OTB or default store if detected.
Upgrades
From 7.0.3.0, if the OTB store is being used and is on the server it will be actively removed by the installer.
From 7.0.3.0 all existing deployments will be required to have implemented custom security configuration.

Prior to upgrading to 7.0.3.0 or higher please put in place custom security certificates and security store via
the Security Manager, this is the application on the server to create a custom security store.

Release Notes

TLS v1.2 as default level for TLS communication


Fresh installations
On fresh installations only, the default TLSv1 level enforced is TLS v1.2. This means that TLS v1.0 and TLS v1.1
protocol levels are disabled and are not available to be used in the solution or on the underlying Windows
2012 R2 operating system.

Migrations
Migrations can be considered in the same area as fresh installations in that the default TLSv1 level enforced
is TLS v1.2.

Upgrades
On an upgrade where the feature pack is applied on an existing 7.0 release then there is no enforcement of
TLS v1.2 on the server. This is relevant only to the Windows operating system level support of TLS versions.

For SIP traffic and Event Broker web services the enforcement of TLS v1.2 still applies and if these levels need
to be modified then please refer to the section “Resetting TLSv1 Levels”.

In 7.0.1 the default TLSv1 level enforced is TLS v1.2. This means that TLS v1.0 and TLS v1.1 protocol levels are
disabled and are not available to be used in the solution or on the underlying Windows 2012 R2 operating
system.

Resetting TLSv1 Levels


For upgrades this new TLS v1.2 default setting may have an impact on any legacy applications that consume
ACCS services that cannot support this level of TLSv1. To allow backward compatibility with older releases
and applications that consume ACCS services the TLSv1 level can be lowered to reestablish functionality if
found to be incompatible with the new TLSv1 level.

The general rule when setting the TLSv1 levels is shown in the table below

TLS Level Set TLS v1.0 available TLS v1.1 available TLS v1.2 available
1.0 Yes Yes Yes
1.1 No Yes Yes
1.2 No No Yes

When the TLS v1 level is set the general rule is any level under that set level is disabled and any level above it
is still available. It is configurable via Security Manager Security Configuration tab

How to change the TLSv1 levels


The new TLSv1 level settings can all be changed in the Security Manager application which can be launched
from the ACCS server.

In the Security Configuration Tab of the Security Manager application there are three drop boxes which
allow the user to lower the TLSv1 levels for the following application and services outlined in the next
section.

Page 41
Avaya Contact Center Select 7.1.2.1
Release Notes

Services and Applications covered by new TLSv1 setting

The three main areas where this new setting covers are

• Windows operating system


• Web Traffic
• SIP Traffic

Windows operating system


This covers all of the windows operating system and any Microsoft based applications, such as IIS for
example.

This can be lowered to TLS v1.0 or TLS v1.1 if required via the Security Manager application.
If TLS v1.0 is set as default for example, then TLS v1.1 and TLS v1.2 is still available.

Web Traffic

IIS
This is covered with the changes made to the underlying Windows Operating system. Which is also the same
setting configurable via the Security Manager Security Configuration tab.

Tomcat
This web server is set to use TLS v1.2 only. It is currently not configurable.
All known applications that use Tomcat can operate at TLS v1.2 and thus no need to have an option to
enable lower protocols.

Lightweight/framework web application servers


Event Broker Web Service TLS v1 level can be set on the Security Manager application.

SIP and CTI Traffic


This covers all SIP and CTI traffic to and from the ACCS server. This is configurable via Security Manager
Security Configuration tab.

For non-mandatory TLS SIP connections


The servers that can make up the solution may be configured to secure their connection to the ACCS server
and so below are the compatibility tables for the different versions that may be used in the solution.

IP Office releases See Appendix C – IP Office releases TLSv1 support

Avaya Aura Media Server See Appendix C – Avaya Aura Media Server
releases and TLSv1 support

Release Notes

Known applications and services that cannot support TLS v1.2


There are applications and services which cannot support TLS v1.2 currently and a review of these
applications and services should be made to determine the course of action prior to moving to 7.0.1. The
table below lists all known application and services that cannot support TLS v1.2

HDX / DIW connection to databases See Appendix C – HDX/DIW connection to

Microsoft VC++ Redistributables 2008 removal


AACC/ACCS don’t depend on old Microsoft VC++ 2008 Redistributable packages anymore.

Fresh installations
On fresh installations, AACC/ACCS will not install VC++ 2008 Redistributables packages at all

Upgrades
On an upgrade where the feature pack is applied on an existing 7.1.0.x release, Microsoft VC++ 2008
Redistributables packages will NOT be uninstalled by ARPI automatically. It is expected behavior. The
customers can remove them after upgrade manually due to security constraints.

Downgrades
If Microsoft VC++ 2008 Redistributable packages are removed manually after upgrade then it will impact
subsequent downgrades to 7.1.0.x or older releases. So before downgrade the customers will need to install
Microsoft VC++ Redistributable 2008 x86 9.0.30729.6161 manually located in Release bundle package in
\ThirdPartySoftware\Microsoft VC++ Redistributables\2008 - x86 9.0.30729.6161 folder

Log4j 2.x vulnerabilities


Starting from 7.1.2 Post GA Patch Bundle (Feb 2022) the log4j 2.x has been upgraded to the version 2.17.1 to
resolve all known vulnerabilities.
Note that during an upgrade the previous versions of log4j 2.x libraries are moved to the backup folders to
support downgrades but they will not be used any longer after the upgrade.
So the vulnerabities detected by any scanners for log4j 2.x libraries located in the backup folders should be
treated as false positive.

Email Analyzer configuration


An English email analyzer (AlphanumericAnalyzer) is enabled by default for keyword analysis of English Latin-
1 character sets on the ACCS server. The email analyzer can be configured based on language specific values
specified in the following table:

Language Email Analyzer


French Change default SimpleAnalyzer to FrenchAnalyzer
German Change default SimpleAnalyzer to GermanAnalyzer
LA Spanish Change default SimpleAnalyzer to AlphanumericAnalyzer
Simplified Chinese Change default SimpleAnalyzer to ChineseAnalyzer
Brazilian Portuguese Change default SimpleAnalyzer to BrazilianAnalyzer
Russian Change default SimpleAnalyzer to RussianAnalyzer
Italian Change default SimpleAnalyzer to ItalianAnalyzer
Traditional Chinese Change default SimpleAnalyzer to ChineseAnalyzer
Japanese Change default SimpleAnalyzer to CJKAnalyzer
Korean Change default SimpleAnalyzer to CJKAnalyzer

The mailservice.properties file on the ACCS Server specifies which analyzer is enabled and lists all supported
analyzers in the comments.

This procedure can be used to enable a language specific email analyzer:


1. Stop the CCMM Email Manager service on the server.
2. Navigate to D:\Avaya\Contact Center\Multimedia Server\Server Applications\EMAIL.
3. Open mailservice.properties.
4. Change the properties of the file from read only to write available.
5. In the <box> search for the line mail.analyzer=AlphanumericAnalyzer.
6. Change mail.analyzer value to language specific value.
7. Start the CCMM Email Manager service on the server.

Email Analyzer Limitation 1 - Wildcard use (Asian) – Single Byte Routing


There is a limitation when the email analyzer is enabled for Asian languages. A problem arises when routing
with SINGLE BYTE characters in the keyword. Double byte keywords route successfully. This limitation also
applies for wildcards included in keywords.

To route a single byte keyword to a skillset, you must save the keyword as DOUBLE byte on the server. For
example to route the single byte keyword コプタto a skillset called EM_Test do the following:

1) Create a DOUBLE byte keyword


• In the Multimedia Administrator, click the plus sign (+) next to Contact Center Multimedia, click the plus sign next
to E-mail Administration, and then double-click Keyword Groups.
• The Keyword Groups window appears.
• To create a new keyword group, click New.
• In the Name box, type a unique name for the keyword group (maximum 64 characters. This NAME must be in
English). E.g. “DoubleByteCoputa”
• In the Keyword box, type the word (in DOUBLE byte) you will be searching for.
E.g. “コプタ” Click Add.
The keyword is added to the list, and the keyword group is created. Click Save.

2) Create a Rule to route the keyword to a skillset


• Start the Rule Configuration Wizard.

Page 46
Avaya Contact Center Select 7.1.2.1
Release Notes

• On the Rule Configuration Wizard – Input Criteria window, under Available Keyword Groups, select a keyword
group you want to use for this rule. E.g. “DoubleByteCoputa”
• Click the black arrow to insert the keyword group name into the selection box.
• Click Next.
• In the Rule box, type the name for your rule. E.g. “DoubleByteCoputaRule”
• In the Skillset box, select a skillset for your rule. . E.g. “EM_Test”
• Click Save.
• Click Finish. Your rule is created with the keyword group.

Note: This is a limitation of the 3rd party creator of the analyzer, Lucene.

Email Analyzer Limitation 2 - Wildcard use (Asian) - Wildcard * and ? string position
There is a limitation when the email analyzer is enabled for Asian languages. Wildcard ‘?’ or ‘*’ can only be
used at the end of a keyword.

e.g. Wildcard use たば* is correct. Wildcard use た*た is not correct.

Note: To route the wildcard keyword successfully, the ‘*’ can be entered in either full-width or half width.
The ‘?’ can be entered in full-width only.

Troubleshooting
Detecting latest Language files
In case that client runs the English AAD and OCMT applications and does not pick up the language files, then
these files are now stored in the GAC (.Net cache) on the client PC. The .Net cache (GAC) therefore, needs to
be emptied on the client PC so the latest English and language files can be taken from the server.
Note: If you install an updated Service pack or Design patch, the client still runs applications with cached
language files. The .Net cache (GAC) must be emptied, so the latest language files can be taken from the
server.

Emptying the .Net cache on the client PC running AAD and OCMT
Procedures such as uninstalling application and emptying the .Net cache require administrator rights.
1. Close AAD and OCMT.
2. Click Add/Remove Programs.
3. Remove Avaya/Avaya Agent Desktop.
4. Navigate to C:\Documents and Setting\USERNAME\local settings\apps\ .
5. Delete the 2.0 folder.
6. Note: This folder may be hidden. If so, open Windows Explorer and click on Tools, Folder options.
Choose the View tab. Under Files and folders or Hidden files and folders, choose to show hidden files
and folders. Click Apply and click OK.
7. Start AAD to download the latest AAD files from the CCMM server.
Start OCMT from CCMA to download the latest OCMT files from the CCMM server.

should be identified and normal trouble shooting performed to determine why
the service is not completing startup.

If the connection to the console is not successful a power cycle of the server
will be required. A connection should be attempted, either through the console
or through RDC, as soon as possible after the power cycle is performed.

has been logged in on other client. Please logout and login again."
It happens intermittently when user is browsing CCMA pages and user gets kicked out of
CCMA with above error and is not able log back in.
Impact CCMA Login
Workaround The root cause is DB returned the last login date which was different the “LastLoginDate”
field from the security token. The “LastLoginDate” field is
not changed until the user logs in to CCMA again (the second login).
Applying the solution from
https://support.avaya.com/ext/index?page=content&id=SOLN373472&viewlocale=en_US
fixed the issue.

Installing CCMS Patch on a very large database can take 20+ minutes
Tracking Number CC-5140
Application Contact Center Manager Server
Description Installing CCMS Database Patch on a very large database can take up to 23

AAD does not display Agent Statistics when security is on


Tracking Number CC-13431
Application Agent Desktop
Description AAD will fail to display Agent Statistics if the following conditions exist:
1) Security is turned on in Security Manager (formerly known as Certificate
Manager)
2) The server signed cert has SAN’s configured, ie for MCHA deployments the
managed name should be configured as a SAN
3) The hostname configured within CCMM Administration for CC Web Stats
matches one of these SAN names. Ie in MCHA the managed name is configured
Impact If the conditions described above exist then Agent Statistics will not display in
AAD
Solution The work around is to configure (Agent Statistics) CC Web Stats to use an IP
address instead of a hostname or FQDN.
1) Through CCMA launch the CCMM Administration client
2) Navigate to: General Administration -> Server Settings
3) With Server Settings selected on the left hand pane, a list of host names
should be present on the right hand pane.
4) Under Server Type find an entry called CC Web Stats and change the
Hostname entry to use the relevant IP address instead of a hostname or FQDN
5) In HA environments this should be the managed IP address, in all other
environments this should be the CCMS server IP address

After restoring Certificate Store – Reset Security Level if previously set to ON

If the certificate store has been restored onto a system that contained another store and had the security
level set to ON then the following steps have to be followed to apply the new stores certificates to the
various web servers otherwise the previous stores certificates will remain in effect.

This procedure is only if the previous security setting was set to ON while using the previous store and the
store has been restored.

1) Ensure all services are stopped.


2) Launch Security Manager.
3) Go to Security Configuration Tab.
4) Check Security level – If ON then turn OFF and then ON again.
5) Hit Apply button.

This effectively will remove the previous configuration settings on the various web servers and apply the
contents of the new store to web servers.

store regardless of the restore procedure.

Release Notes

If the certificate store has been restored to a system that used another certificate authority (CA) to sign the
contents of the store used previously then, if not done already, the root certificate authority certificate will
have to be deployed to the various clients that communicate with the server.

If the restored certificate store has been signed by the same certificate authority then this is not required
since the root CA certificates should have already been distributed.

Known applications and services that cannot support TLS v1.2

HDX / DIW connection to databases

HDX / DIW can be used to connect to customer databases. HDX / DIW connect to a remote database using
an ODBC Data Source Name (DSN). The DSN for the database connection must be manually created on ACCS
using the ODBC Data Source Administrator.

If connecting to older versions of Microsoft SQL Server, the DSN created will not connect successfully if TLS is
set to higher than TLS v1.0. In this scenario, enable TLS v1.0 on Security Manager Security Configuration
field “CCMA – Multimedia Web Service Level”.

System Manager 7.0

System Manager 7.0 and earlier releases do not support TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2
If implementing a Single Sign-On configuration using System Manager to login to CCMA then if TLS 1.1 or TLS
1.2 is enabled the System Manager login page will not be presented.
System Manager 7.0.1 includes support for TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2
