Introduction

The bcmsSVR is similar to clintSVR, it is a gateway program for the access of real-time BCMS, historical BCMS and other reports from Avaya CM. It also provides API interfaces for the development of call centre reports and wallboard applications. The bcmsSVR retrieves BCMS and other reports at an interval that is specified by you, it stores the real-time and historical data in the database, Splunk, Kafka and memory which enables multiple programs to access the data via REST query API, OCX and C/C++ DLL interfaces. The data is presented in XML or JSON format, and the following reports and interfaces are supported:

• REST query API to get real-time and historical reports
• Integrated with ctiSVR for real-time reports with AUX reason codes
• C++ interface header, library and DLL files are provided
• OCX interface for VB or ASP.net programming
• Supports XMPP connection so bcmsSVR can connect to XMPP servers such as Openfire
• Supports logging of report data to Splunk
• Supports logging of report data to Kafka
• Supports logging of report data to MSSQL, MySQL and Oracle database
• Supports the following real-time and historical BCMS reports
  • monitor bcms split
  • monitor bcms split SLA

Preparation and Password Encryption

• The access MDB file stored username and password used by the bcmsSVR program. For security reason, a tool called encryptpasswd.exe is provided to generate encrypted password for the installation and configuration of the software.
• Execute the program, generate the encrypted password for the user of Avaya CM server, then use the encrypted password when you add ACD object in the program console. For example, the encrypted password for “p@ssword” is “R3NIw1yJMLlnPFzEQtuh2A==”
• 

64 bit Windows System 

• For 64 bit Windows system, please follow the steps below
  • Configure ODBC System DSN using C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
  • Stop the Windows firewall because it enables by default and we don’t have time to figure out what ports are required to be opened, you need to find it out yourself. BcmsSVR uses TCP port 14017 for telnet console, enable it in firewall so you can configure the program remotely.

Testing using Docker Image

Please follow this guide to BcmsSVR using Docker Container.

Testing using OVA File 

We have created a OVA file which you can deploy it to VirtualBox or VMware Workstation or Player for testing.  After deploying the OVA file, please modify the following for your own environment

• Reference this guide to delete the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
• Change the MAC address and IP address of the VM in the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
• Telnet to bcmsSVR console port 14017, update parameters for your environment
• Once the changes are completed, reboot the VM

The username and password of the OVA VM is

• OS : root/P@ssw0rd
• MySQL: root/P@ssw0rd
• bcmsSVR console: tcpgate/tcpgate01
• Splunk URL: http://newIP:8000/

Installation  

• We have recorded a video for Windows 2012 64bit, please watch the video before the installation

  • Open Windows Command Prompt, enter the following commands to register the program as Windows Service, you need to run command prompt as Administrator when you run Windows 7 or above
    • cd c:\program files\bcmsSVR
    • bcmsSVR -i
    • sc description bcmsSVR “Provides BCMS real-time and historical functions for Avaya CM”
  • Open ODBC Setting, create a System DSN called BCMSSVRCFG for Microsoft Access Driver and select bcmsSVR.mdb which is located in the directory c:\program files\bcmsSVR
  • Start the Windows Service bcmsSVR
  • Telnet to localhost and port number 14017, enter username tcpgate and password tcpgate01 to access the program console
  • Enter the following command to add an acd object

Add Reports

• Start from version 2.0.0, the command to add bcms report is prefix with “bcms” which is used to distinguish with other reports
• You can get real time and historical report data by Report Agents or get the data via the supported API interfaces. When you add a Report Agent, the data will be pulled from Avaya CM, then pushed to Splunk and database at an interval that specified by you. When the data has imported to Splunk, you can use Splunk to make customized reports and dashboards. You can also access the stored real time and historical data from the database directly.

Dictionary 

• The program supports dictionary for objects such as agentid, split/skill and vdn so your mapped name are presented in the resulting XML string.
• To add new dictionary, enter the following command
  • add dict
  • Hint: Enter the acd, id and mappedName when they are prompted

REST Query API 

• Start from version 2.0.0, the command for bcms report is prefix with “bcms” which is used to distinguish with other reports
• To enable REST query API, enter the following command in the program console
  • add tcp 8088 * * custom bcmsrest
    • Hint: 8088 is the port number for the REST query API, choose one that fits your environment

XMPP Connection

• Modify the following parameters in bcmsSVR.mdb for the XMPP feature
  • bcms_xmpp_jid
    • jid such as “yourname@company.com”
  • bcms_xmpp_username
    • username is used if  bcms_xmpp_jid is not used for authentication
  • bcms_xmpp_passwd
    • use the utility encryptpasswd.exe to generate an encrypted password
  • bcms_xmpp_server
    • xmpp server IP or hostname
  • bcms_xmpp_port
    • xmpp server port
  • bcms_xmpp_saslmethod
    • authentication methods such as plain, digestmd5 and crammd5
• Supported XMPP servers
  • Openfire 3.91.

Splunk Connection

• Create index for bcmsSVR
• 
• Create TCP input for bcmsSVR
• 
• Login bcmsSVR program console and update two parameters
  • update parameter bcms_splunk_host 10.10.10.123
    • Hint: 10.10.10.123 is the IP address of Splunk
  • update parameter bcms_splunk_port 14017
    • Hint: 14017 is the port number that defined in Spunk for bcmsSVR data
  • update parameter bcms_splunk_allreport true
    • Hint: Set it to true if you want all report data are sent to Splunk. Set it to false if you to control it by “add splunkreport” command
  • reload
• Search the report in Splunk
• 
• Graphs can be plotted easily using the report data, for example
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

Know Problem

• During the restart process of Splunk, bcmsSVR is unable to send raw data to Splunk and missing data will be anticipated
