Sip Calls go to DIALING but... For DiallerCalls ProceedingTimeoutAsNU only applies to PROCEEDINGProceedingTimeouAsNATimeout is used in DIALING AND PROCEEDING | DEVOPS-704 | Genghis | 4 April 2022, 11:46 | Genghis | This is a long standing issue. Both SPSS and Quancept use .NET's own XML to object instance deserializer. This is known to use a mechanism whereby a DLL is dynamically created and loaded. windows .net seems to be able to do this once, but the mono implementation may be doing this may times, causing very long delays. Solution. Using reflection on just 3 types - int, string, bool we are able to implements our own deserializer, in the Utils module. called XMLDeserializer. This is the diallers native deserializer. In application to the dialler these are used for UNICOM and Quancept optionally. | DEVOPS-704 |

Outcome: Removed “OvrDl %” and “OverDialRate” from closed campaign list
Outcome: Change as recommended
Outcome: Filters fixed as list sort was already functioning as expected.
Outcome: the agent session calls are accessible in the call report, if you select call type as session
Outcome: Right clicking on the call in calls in WebConsole, call search and call report will give an option to follow the call from the database. Row has to be selected first for dropdown option to appear
When call report is run is does not indicate the amount of records / rows returned
Outcome: The agent logon call can be found in call report by selecting call type as “SESSION”.
The grid affected is the one in Call report, when grouping and pivoting data. | DEVOPS-759 |
(Bug) Invade CATI agent session not handling a telephony failure while agent logged on | DEVOPS-728 | InCATI | 10 January 2022, 15:15 | 6.7.2.rc4 | Lack of Feature / Bug in INVADE CATI All supported CATI integrations handle the situation when an agent drops the telephony connection and fails to reconnect. At that point the session is considered unrecoverable and the TelephonyLogonFailure event in the CATI integration signals the remote CATI and the performs a Agent.Logoff. The INVADE CATI does not do this and leaves incomplete transactions hanging. | DEVOPS-728 |

Support for CPA-AMD response from EMA via Dialplan | DEVOPS-757 | Genghis | 10 January 2022, 15:15 | 6.7.2.rc3 | There is a growing amount of either explicit or more often ambiguous indication of VM on early media. It should be optional to code these as VM (by way of approximation) EMA is by default configured to send a "MESSAGE" outcome to the dial plan on detecting voice. This can be changed to "AMD" on a profile basis as appropriate. The dial-plan can convert this to CPA-AMD. It is proposed therefore that the dialler is enhanced to detect this "CPA-AMD" indication and to then code the call as AMD. | DEVOPS-757 |
There are settings but not when it is ringing->congestion | DEVOPS-760 | Genghis | 10 January 2022, 15:15 | 6.7.2.rc3 | A change to the configuration file to allow 'HangupInRingbackAsNoAnswer' to be set as true and hang up the call in ringback state.
