Issue OneXAgentAPISample application fails to communicate with one-x Agent for non admin users when non admin user is not having permissions to open Http urls and Http Listener ports for API service. Resolution "CScript.exe //H:wscript". Resolution is to provide permission to the non admin users to open these Http urls and the ports. A sample script is provided as mentioned in the release notes which could be used to open the ports. NOTE: This script uses Microsoft support tools which may not be installed on users machine and needs to be downloaded and installed from msdn.microsoft.com. The tool names are netsh and httpcfg. While installing Support tools, the complete installation option should be chosen in the installer dialog instead of Typical option. Tools path should be added into PATH variable so that this sample script can execute those tools from any folder location. The port number range used by one-x Agent application for API service is from 60000 to 61000. So portnumber parameter for this script should be between 60000 to 61000. ----USAGE---- Command: OneXAgentAPIConfiguration portnumber action portnumber from 60000 to 61000 action: 1 = add One X Agent API Service Configuration action: 2 = Delete One X Agent API Service Configuration Avaya one-x Agent 2.5 Service Pack 2, Release Notes, May 2013 8
Issue Resolution If station language is set to Unicode on CM station form and if custom phone message file is put on CM for phone message display and in this customized phone transalation file if the "info:" and "uui-info:" are not configured with space at the end then in a ACD call this information does not come to OneXAgent with space and in correct format which results in failure of screen pop since call display received does not match with the expected format. Phone transalation file must be configured correctly to include the space character in "info: " and "uui-info: " so that the screenpop works as expected. Other Known issues One-X agent does not integrates with the Exchange server 2010 or 2013.
