Task Capture Capture Services Webservice Capture point - Provides SOAP interface (client-server) for external systems to submit tasks - Originating system can query task status using capture ID or broker ID XML Capture point - Repeatedly checks configured directory for new XML files - Parses XML and creates, updates, modifies tasks, according to the information in XML file, supports task batches - Supports message transformation IBM Websphere MQ Capture point - Connects to MQ manager on a specified host - Listens for incoming messages in one queue, puts outgoing messages into another queue - Supports message transformation DB Capture point - Captures tasks from source DB and manipulates them using plain SQL 18 | Presentation Title | Month 2010 All rights reserved. © 2010, Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories, Inc.

Archiving Archiving Service Purpose – to reduce / optimize the runtime DB - Task, its audit information and attributes are removed from runtime DB Criteria for task removal - Task is expired - Task is completed or canceled - If task belongs to XML Batch, all batch tasks need to match this criteria Archiving destinations - Remove from DB - Export to XML - Archive to Solution Will cover later, but full task details are available in iWD Datamart, so not a major issue to simply “remove” from runtime database 21 | Presentation Title | Month 2010 All rights reserved. © 2010, Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories, Inc.

Cannot deploy the solution Possible causes - Runtime nodes are not configured correctly - Runtime nodes are not started properly - System complains about missing properties - Most likely may happen after upgrades in service property sets Solution is deployed, but broker service and dependent services are not running Possible causes - Problems in db connection properties or missing DB All rights reserved. © 2010, Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories, Inc. All tasks end up in ErrorHeld state Possible causes (check task audit history and task data for error messages) - Process is not assigned during Capture phase Due date/time is not set Business calendar is not set and BC-related functions are used in rules Genesys distribution point is configured to use unavailable inbound queue Tasks are not visible in iWD manager under Contract and Process Possible causes - Tasks have not passed capture rules for some reason (e.g. Process is not set) 31 | Presentation Title | Month 2010 All rights reserved. © 2010, Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories, Inc. Genesys IXN connector cannot connect Possible causes - Check hosts. They should contain fully qualified host name, including domain Can’t create a particular service Possible causes - Module is not added to the tenant and solution - Max amount of services of particular type within a solution has been reached Service is not available in dependencies Possible causes - If the service exists – runtime node configuration may not be right Solution does not appear under Contract/Process Possible causes - Solution does not contain broker service 32 | Presentation Title | Month 2010 All rights reserved. © 2010, Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories, Inc.
