4 Unsupported Features & LimitationsThe following section lists all unsupported features and limitations of the b+s Connects for Siebel 2.3.0 :
Voice channelSingle channel login is not supported for voice (refer to the chapter Single Channel Login for moreinformation)CCE/CCH call variables set in ConsultationCallRequest are replaced with call variables of held calland are not visible for a second agent after the transfer is completed.Be aware that even though the formerly missing wrap-up event for the transferring agent is nowfired after a completed call transfer or conference, it is still not possible to provoke that entereddata (e.g. wrap-up reasons) is saved into the CCE/CCH database. This is a known limitation ofCCE/CCH and comes by the fact that for a completed call transfer or conference the call is not onlycleared but completely ended. See Cisco Bug CSCtw78615 for further information.If an agent executes a blind or consult transfer to another agent by using the Cisco IP Phone thescreen content of the first agent is not transferred to the other agent. This is a known limitationby Siebel CRM. All call transfers must be executed with the Siebel CRM Web Client to ensure thatscreen content is transferred along with the call.Because there is no predefined dial-pad on the Siebel CRM Web Client, DTMF strings can only besent via the dropdown menu (Tools -> Communications-> Send DTMF).If a failover (CTI Server, Agent PG etc.) occurs during a conference call, the recovered call is nolonger identifiable as a conference call but is displayed as a "normal" call. The call on the phoneremains in conference state. However, if in the recovered conference scenario of agent1 toagent2 to customer an agent drops the conference call, the call disappears from the Siebel WebClient for both agents (on the phone the call is not disconnected). The agent who dropped thecall can rejoin the call by using his phone.CUCM-based silent monitoring
Siebel Adaptive Communication API does not receive any notification that the call is beingmonitored.Siebel Adaptive Communication API does not see call events related to the silent monitorcall.
ECC Arrays are not available as such in events and commands on the Siebel AdaptiveCommunications API interfaceDropping participants from a conference call by using the Siebel Communications Toolbar is notsupported.Work item description will not be updated after single step transferring a conference callIf a failover (ConnectMCAL) occurs, the ANI of an existing customer call is empty and the agentstate is set to Not Ready after the call.When a call is transferred via routepoint and network IVR to another agent, the ANI and workitemdescription displayed on 2nd agents desktop may be incorrect.If an agent executes a blind transfer the displayed text on transferred agent might not be accurate
Email channelSingle channel login is not supported for email (refer to the chapter Single Channel Login formore information)Wrap-up for email tasks is not supportedIf an agent wants to be not ready after handling an email he must change his state to not readywhile working on the emailAuto Answer set in CCE/CCH Agent Desk Settings does not work for the email channelSiebel CRM screen transfer for email reroutes using Siebel bookmarks is not supportedReroute on no answer (RONA): If an agent does not accept an offered email task the email isautomatically rerouted back to the same CCE/CCH Dialed Number / Script Selector where theinitial routing happenedUpon the agent's acceptance of an email the field MCA_RoutingStatus in the Siebel database iscorrectly changed to 02. However, this does not cause the status of the Siebel activity to beupdated automatically.CCE/CCH ECC Arrays are not supported for the email channelAn agent can handle one email task simultaneously. I.e. multi-email is not supported

Chat channelSingle channel login is not supported for chat (refer to the chapter Single Channel Login for moreinformation)When transferring a chat from one agent to another agent / to a queue or forward a chat, thetransferring agent is not placed into wrap-upRequesting wrap-up during the chat session is not supportedIf an agent wants to be not ready after handling a chat respectively after ending wrap-up he mustchange his state to not ready during the chat session.When an agent changes his state to Not Ready while handling a chat or being in wrap-up the stateWork Not Ready will not be signaled to CCE/CCH.Reroute on no answer (RONA): If an agent does not accept an offered chat task, the chat task isautomatically rerouted back to the same CCE/CCH Dialed Number / Script Selector where theinitial routing happenedTIMEOUT-Label: Rerouting of the chat after 10 seconds (hardcoded in ChatConnector, notconfigurable in b+s Connects for Siebel) to the same Dialed Number / Script Selector as before.OVERFLOW-Label: The chat is terminated by the ChatConnector and the message "The chatsession is closed by overflow." is sent to the customer.Auto Answer set in CCE/CCH Agent Desk Settings does not work for the chat channelCCE/CCH ECC Arrays are not supported for the chat channelUsing the Siebel CRM client in High Interactivity (HI) mode is not supported for the chat channelChat transfer from agent1 to agent2 is only supported, if agent2 is logged in. Otherwise agent1 isnot able to transfer the chat again or to pause it without having any destructive impact to currentchat.
Generalb+s Connects for Siebel 2.3.0 components do not support IPv6Email and chat routing (and re-routing) in environments with multiple CCE/CCH Agent PGs islimited to the agents connected to the local CCE/CCH Agent PG.Secured communication between the Communication Toolbar Adapter and the DataStorePlease note that as of Oracle Siebel CRM Innovation Pack 2015 only the message base severity issupported (i.e. severities in column Type) for the broadcast messages.While using Outbound Option, handling media tasks (email and chat) is not supported

13 Important Notes 13.1 Single Channel Login finally removed
With release 1.4, the individual per channel commands (AgentLogonVoice/AgentLogoffVoice andAgentLogonMail/AgentLogonMail) were replaced with the new multi-channel commandsAgentLogon/AgentLogoff. The setting "AllowSingleChannelLogin" was added then to enable a backwardscompatibility mode and still to use these old commands for a while.
Starting with release 2.0, these single channel commands were announced as deprecated.
With release 2.3, these single channel commands are finally removed and enabling the backwards compatibilitymode with "AllowSingleChannelLogin" parameter is no longer possible.
13.2 Oracle "Poodle" Vulnerability
A security vulnerability affecting SSL version 3.0 was recently publicly disclosed and called Padding Oracle OnDowngraded Legacy Encryption, or "Poodle". As the vulnerability does not affect TLS and is limited to SSL 3.0 it ishighly recommended that TLS is used to encrypt the communication between the Siebel CRM and the b+sConnects for Siebel components.
Further information about the "Poodle" vulnerability and how Siebel CRM are affected by it can be found at
SSL V3.0 "Poodle" Vulnerability - CVE-2014-3566
and
Oracle Support Document 1944467.1 (Mitigating the POODLE vulnerability in SSL in Siebel CRM Applications)
13.3 Connection to CCE/CCH AWDB
As of b+s Connects for Siebel 1.5 a connection to the CCE/CCH AWDB is no longer required.
To get rid of the connection to the CCE/CCH AWDB, the configuration key MCIL_MODE in the MediaManager ini-filemust be set to 2.
Be aware that the password verification at agent logon (setting CHECK_AGENT_PASSWORD) must bedeactivated if MediaManager is configured with MCIL_MODE=2. Password verification will only be done byCCE/CCH but no longer by the MediaManager.
13.3.1 Configuration without a connection to the CCE/CCH AWDB
MediaManager initialization file:
[MAIN] MCIL_MODE=2 [MCIL] CHECK_AGENT_PASSWORD=0
13.4 Route Message Send Rate
Be aware that as of b+s Connects for Siebel 1.5 the new default value for the RouteMessageSendRate-setting inSiebel RoutingAdapter is 5. This setting determines the number of route requests that the Siebel RoutingAdaptersends to the MediaManager per second. Prior to b+s Connects for Siebel 1.5, the default value for theRouteMessageSendRate setting was -1, which means that there was no throttling for route requests at all. Forsafety reasons it has been decided to change the default value so that undesired situations in PCCE deploymentswhere Congestion Control is set to 8 can be avoided. For upgrades the configured value of theRouteMessageSendRate setting remains unchanged.

13.5 /LOAD Configuration Parameter
With CCE/CCH version 10.0 Cisco Systems Inc. has announced that the /LOAD Configuration Parameter isconsidered as a deprecated feature. As of CCE/CCH version 11.0 Cisco Systems Inc. removed the /LOADConfiguration Parameter from the deprecated feature list again.
13.6 Multiple Lines on Agent Phones
Prior to Release 8.0, CCE/CCH supported monitoring of only a single line for all agent devices. CCE/CCH Release 8.0added support for monitoring multiple agent lines when Multi Line Agent Mode is enabled for the Peripheral. Foradditional information and details of CCE/CCH limitations, refer to the Solution Design Guide for Cisco UnifiedContact Center Enterprise.
Please be aware of the following restrictions concerning multiple lines on agent phones when using the b+sConnects for Siebel with ConnectMCAL and a CTI protocol version lower than 14:
The call waiting feature on UCM must be disabled for agent phones being used by Siebel agents.UCM features Join Across Lines (JAL) and Direct Transfer Across Lines (DTAL) must be disabled for theagent phones.With CCE/CCH PG setting "Agent Phone Line Control" set to "All Lines", Cisco Unified IP Phones 6900and 7900 series are only supported in single line configuration.Cisco Unified IP Phones 89xx and 99xx series are supported with the following caveats
The phones must be configured with only a single lineMaximum Number of Calls must be set to 2Busy Trigger must be set to 1
When using the b+s Connects for Siebel with ConnectMCAL running with CTI protocol version 14 the followingrestriction concerning multiple lines on agent phones applies:
The call waiting feature on UCM must be disabled for agent phones being used by Siebel agents.
