IP.ininlog

IP

\I3\IC\Server\IPU.exe

Interaction Processor (IP) is the CIC subsystem that processes low-level subsystem events in order to implement higher-level business logic. For example, Interaction Processor starts an instance of a handler in response to an event.

Interaction Processor tells the system how to behave based upon any events that occur. An incoming call is just one example of an event that CIC recognizes. Programs called handlers respond to unique events and specify how the system will behave. When the Interaction Processor recognizes an event that it needs to act upon, it turns to the list of handlers to determine which one should respond to that event.

It then runs an instance of that handler and any subroutine handlers that are necessary. Multiple instances of handlers can run at the same time, as those multiple events occur. Once the handler has completed its routine, it deletes itself from the system.

IPDBServer.innlog

Notifier.ininlog

Notifier

\I3\IC\Server\NotifierU.exe

The heart of the Interaction Center is the Notifier, which is an internal message-switching hub for event messages. Notifier is a communications hub that communicates with each individual CIC subsystem. Notifier provides three essential services: request/response processing, publish/subscribe event processing and authentication. Notifier makes it possible for components of CIC to be installed on a single server, or on multiple servers. Notifier enhances scalability of CIC by allowing individual components to reside on dedicated hardware when exceptional processing power is required.

Notifier directs events and messages throughout the rest of the system. It listens for events generated by other modules and notifies other interested modules that the event has occurred. Notifier makes use of the TCP/IP protocol to communicate with the rest of the Interaction Center Platform. Connections between Notifier and other components can be encrypted for maximum security.

Notifier passes information between subsystems in real-time. Notifier reduces overall network traffic by sending event notifications only to components that have subscribed to receive them. This allows applications using the Interaction Center Platform to handle much larger numbers of users and interactions.

Using Interaction Recorder, you can quickly sort and manage large numbers of recordings. Interaction Recorder also includes features for scoring agent interactions and quality monitoring.

RemocoServer.ininlog

Application log for Remoco (CIC Console) which manages CIC subsystems when CIC is started as an application, rather than as a service. CIC normally starts as a service, but technical support may ask for startup in application mode to aid in problem determination.

SessionManager.ininlog

Session Manager

\I3\IC\Server\SessionManagerU.exe

The subsystem that keeps track of each user's client status, and other details. Session Manager is a server-side process that enables customers to deploy large numbers of concurrent "thin" CIC clients and enables those clients to gracefully handle low-bandwidth, intermittent connectivity and intelligent caching.

The Session Manager server subsystem holds user login data and performs all CIC-related tasks on behalf of thin clients. For example, when a thin client wants to disconnect a call, the request is sent to the Session Manager, and the Session Manager performs the command.

TransactionServer.ininlog

Transaction Server

\I3\IC\Server\TranServerU.exe

Transaction Server processes insert and update requests from other CIC subsystems, sending those transaction requests to the CIC database server.  Transaction Server also inserts, updates, and queries requests from Interaction Tracker Clients. This subsystem was previously called Tracker Tran Server.

TsServer.ininlog

TsServer

\I3\IC\Server\TsServerU.exe

Telephony Services is the CIC subsystem that works with telephony hardware to perform telephony operations, such as phone dialing. The Telephony Services component allows the Interaction Center Platform to detect telephony events (e.g., incoming calls, DTMF digits, call disconnects, etc.) and to perform operations on telephone calls (e.g., transfer them, conference them together, record them, play audio to them, etc.).

Telephony Services is the only CIC subsystem that interfaces directly with telephony hardware. Most CIC installations require telephony hardware. The telephony cards are installed in the CIC server and are connected to the Public Switched Telephone Network and all the phones in the company.

This software layer provides a line of demarcation between the rest of Interaction Center and telephony hardware. All voice traffic coming from the Public Switched Network goes to the telephony hardware and it stays below that line. The Telephony Services software processes call data and then communicates to the telephony hardware the information necessary to direct the call to the correct party.

Telephony Services integrates with analog, T1/E1, ISDN PRI, and IP-based telephone lines and works with international signaling standards such as EuroISDN, R2, Q.SIG, DPNSS, SS7, and so on. It answers incoming calls, places outgoing calls, reports call state information, performs call analysis, and detects answering machines. It captures DTMF digits, retrieves ANI, DNIS, CLID, and other call information, plays audio, and can record, transfer, and conference calls.
