You must read and complete the tasks in the following guides before proceeding
with the tasks in this guide. Each of these guides contains important information
which you will need before you install Contact Center Manager Administration:
Access rights
This guide assumes that you have the administrator privileges and access rights
required to perform the procedures in this guide.
ATTENTION
When you install Contact Center Manager
Administration, the setup wizard creates a Windows user
called iceAdmin and assigns full administrative access
rights to this user. During the Contact Center Manager
Administration installation, the setup wizard prompts you
to specify the password for this user. You have the option
to change this password after the installation, but you
cannot delete the iceAdmin user account in Windows
Server 2003. If you delete this user account, you will not
be able to log on to Contact Center Manager
Administration either as webadmin or as any other user.
Licensing requirements
Key codes are replaced with License Manager.
Configuration
Use the Configuration component to configure and administer Contact Center
Manager Server.
Notes:
You can use the CS1000 (M1) Data Extraction Tool to extract
configuration data from the CS1000 PBX switch, and then upload that data
to the Contact Center Manager Server by using Contact Center Manager
Administration Configuration spreadsheets. For more information, refer to
the Contact Center - Manager Administrator's Guide. Note that the
CS1000 Data Extraction Tool is intended for use with the CS1000 PBX
switch only; it does not support the CS1000 Internet Enabled switch.
If you are on-site configuring a customer’s contact center, you can upload
your Contact Center Manager Configuration Tool spreadsheets by using the
Configuration component of the customer’s Contact Center Manager
Administration application.
Scripting
The Contact Center Manager Server uses scripts to route calls. With the
Scripting component, you can create and modify call routing instructions for
your contact center using the following components:
a Script Manager
a Script Editor
You can also apply thresholds to your applications, and edit application
threshold classes using the Scripting component.
The Scripting component also includes a validation tool that checks your scripts
for errors before they run.
Real-Time Reporting
Use the Real-Time Reporting component to view call activity information. Real-
time displays are available for both single node and multinode sites.
Historical Reporting
Use Historical Reporting to obtain standard reports about the past performance
of the contact center, contact center configuration data, and Access and Partition
Management configuration data of the Contact Center Manager Administration
server.
Detailed reports for specific events that have occurred in the contact
center
and more
Report Creation Wizard reports imported from the Report Creation Wizard
component
User defined reports created from standard reports to run as ad-hoc and
scheduled reports
After you create reports by using the Report Creation Wizard, you can work
with the reports in the Historical Reporting component, and use the same access
permissions, partitions, and filter sets features that you would with any other
report. You can also use the Historical Reporting interface to schedule reports
that you create with the Report Creation Wizard.
Emergency Help
The Emergency Help feature is a notification panel on the browser whereby
supervisors are alerted when an agent presses the Emergency key on their
phoneset.
Agents press the Emergency key when they require assistance from the
supervisor (for example, if a caller is abusive). The Emergency Help panel
displays information about the agent, including the agent’s name and location,
and displays the time when the Emergency key was pressed.
Audit Trail
Audit Trail records the actions performed in Contact Center Management,
Access and Partition Management, Historical Reporting, Scripting, and
Configuration. The Audit Trail also identifies the user ID of the person who
made the changes.
Outbound
Use the Outbound Campaign Management Tool to create, modify, and monitor
outbound campaigns. You can use this tool to define campaign parameters,
import and review call data, create agent call scripts, and monitor campaign
results.
The Agent Desktop interface for Outbound runs on the agent desktop during
campaigns. This interface presents outbound contacts to agents, provides agents
with preview dial capability, displays agent call scripts (if configured), and
saves disposition codes and script results.

is not packaged with Contact Center Manager Administration.
Introduction
Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) is a Microsoft information storage
framework. Contact Center Manager Administration stores many of its data files
in ADAM.
For further details on replication and developing a resiliency strategy for your
Contact Center Manager Administration network, see Chapter 15, “Resiliency
(backup, restore, and disaster recovery).”
If you are installing the primary Contact Center Manager Administration server,
follow the procedures in Chapter 3, “Installing the software on the primary
server” and select No when the system asks you whether you want to enable
replication. After you install the primary Contact Center Manager
Administration server, you can install replicating servers that you subsequently
add to primary Contact Center Manager Administration servers in your network.
You can also perform this procedure to install a primary server to install
subsequent instances of Contact Center Manager Administration but choose not
to replicate it.
Before you install the primary Contact Center Manager Administration server,
you must know the security context in which you are creating this Contact
Center Manager Administration instance. For example, you must know if it is a
Windows Server 2003 member server within a Windows 2000 domain, a
Windows Server 2003 domain, or if it is within a workgroup, and so on. For
more information, see “ADAM and service accounts” on page 1652, or consult
the Microsoft documentation.
After you have installed the primary Contact Center Manager Administration
server, you have the optional to install a replicating server. If you are installing a
replicating server, follow the procedures in Chapter 6, “Installing software on
the replicating server (optional)” and select Yes at the prompt during the
installation to enable the new instance to join and replicate with the primary
Contact Center Manager Administration instance in your network.
You can only replicate existing Contact Center Manager Administration server
that have been correctly installed.
In addition, there must be a domain user created on the domain controller that is
a member of the Administrators group and the Replicator group, and you must
know the username and password for this user.

on the Contact Center Manager Administration server, refer to “Installing and
configuring pcAnywhere 11.5 as your remote support access tool” on page 58.
If you have a previous version of pcAnywhere installed on the Contact Center
Manager Administration server, consult the Symantec web site
(www.symantec.com) to find out whether you must uninstall your version before
installing pcAnywhere 11.5.
Note: Nortel recommends that you only install one of the supported remote
access tools (pcAnywhere or Remote Desktop Connection for Administration)
on the Contact Center Manager Administration server, not both.
One licensed copy of pcAnywhere version 11.5 for host computers only is
provided for the server on the Contact Center Manager installation DVD. This
software license lets you configure the server as the host computer in remote
control sessions (that is, the computer to which remote computers connect).
Use the Windows Add/Remove Programs utility in the Control Panel to install
the pcAnywhere 11.5 software. For compatibility with Contact Center Manager
Administration, ensure that you install the Host Only version of the software.
Note: If you are upgrading from a previous version of the software and the
installation wizard asks if you want to preserve configuration data, select No.
Configuration data from previous versions of pcAnywhere is incompatible with
pcAnywhere version 11.5.
ATTENTION
If you are installing Contact Center Manager
Administration on its own, do not follow the installation
and configuration procedures for a stand-alone server in the
Contact Center Manager Server documentation.
However, if you are installing Contact Center Manager
Administration on a coresident server with Contact Center
Manager Server, then you can use the installation of
pcAnywhere that has already been completed through the
Contact Center Manager Server installation. In this case, you
do not need to follow the instructions in this section.
CAUTION
Before you install pcAnywhere version 11.5, ensure that the video
drivers on the Contact Center Manager Administration server PC
are current by consulting the driver manufacturers’ web sites for
any available updates. Failure to do so can result in the appearance
of a blue screen after pcAnywhere installation or after use of
pcAnywhere for operations such as file transfer. For more
information, refer to the pcAnywhere web site at
www.symantec.com.
ATTENTION
If the following message appears, it indicates that your video
driver is incompatible with pcAnywhere: pcAnywhere
detected and fixed a display driver problem.
Please restart your computer to allow the
change to take effect. In this case, you must uninstall
pcAnywhere, update your video driver, and then reinstall
pcAnywhere.
If, during the pcAnywhere configuration, you get a message indicating that you
do not have the rights to modify a setting or create a new caller, use the
following procedure to change the Windows User access rights for pcAnywhere
files.
Note: If you are using a modem connection with pcAnywhere, you must have

Introduction
ATTENTION
If you are installing Contact Center Manager
Administration on a coresident server with Contact
Center Manager Server, then Sybase Open Client
version 12.5 is already installed and you can skip
this step. Likewise, you do not need to verify the
version of Sybase that is installed, nor do you need
to update the Sybase 12.5 Open Database
Connectivity (ODBC) driver. In this case, you can
proceed directly to “Step 4. Install the Crystal
Enterprise 10 Embedded software” on page 85.
Note: If you have Sybase version 12.0 installed on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server, then you can perform an upgrade to Sybase version 12.5
using the following procedure. If you have a version of Sybase earlier than 12.0
installed on the Contact Center Manager Administration server, then you must
uninstall it before you install version 12.5. For information about uninstalling
the software, see the documentation posted on the Sybase web site at
www.sybase.com.
After you install Sybase Open Client version 12.5, you must update the Sybase
Open Client driver. For details, see “To update the Sybase ODBC driver” on
page 81.
4 In the System variables box, locate the Sybase software entries. For
example, if Sybase Open Client version 12.0 is installed on the server, the
list displays SYBASE_OCS: OCS_12_0, and for Sybase Open Client
version 12.5, the list displays SYBASE_OCS: OCS_12_5.
5 If the list displays SYBASE_OCS: OCS_12_5, Sybase Open Client version
12.5 is installed and you can skip to “Step 4. Install the Crystal Enterprise
10 Embedded software” on page 85. If you do not see a Sybase software
entry, or if the list displays SYBASE_OCS: OCS_12_0, you must install
Sybase Open Client version 12.5 by following the procedure “To install
Sybase Open Client version 12.5 or upgrade from version 12.0” on page
76.
Note: Contact Center Manager Administration only functions with Sybase Open
Client 12.5. If the Contact Center Manager Administration server already has a
version of Sybase installed that is newer than version 12.5, then you must
uninstall it completely before installing version 12.5. For information about
uninstalling Sybase software, see “To uninstall Sybase Open Client” on page
1506.
2 Click Exit.
3 In Windows Explorer, browse to the folder Sybase, located in the CCMA
folder of the Contact Center Manager installation DVD.
6 If you are installing the software for the first time, type a location in which to
install the software, or accept the default location shown. Nortel
recommends that when you are upgrading from Sybase 12.0, you type the
same folder in which the Sybase software is currently installed. For
example, if the software is installed on drive E in a folder called Sybase,
type E:\Sybase. If you do not know this location, type a new location in
ATTENTION
When choosing a custom location in which to install
the Sybase software, do not choose a directory name
that contains a space. For example, do not choose
D:\Program Files\Sybase because the Sybase
installation program cannot process the space in
“Program Files.”
7 Click Next.
Result: The Summary window appears and displays the components being
installed.
8 Click Next.
Result: The Create Directory window appears and prompts you to confirm
the name of the directory to which the files will be copied.
9 Click Yes.
Result: The Installing window appears and displays a status bar while the
system installs the program.
10 If you are upgrading to Sybase version 12.5, the system asks if you want to
overwrite the following existing Sybase.DLL files. Click Yes when prompted
to replace or reinstall these Sybase files:
replace mchelp.dll version 12.0 with version 12.5.0.0
replace mclib.dll version 12.0 with version 12.5.0.0
replace Language Modules version 12.0 with version 12.5
reinstall Component Sybase Central 3.2.0
If the system prompts you to replace the optional Power Dynamo file, you
can click either Yes or No. Because the file is optional, your choice does not
affect the Sybase installation. If you choose to replace the optional Power
Dynamo file, replace version 3.0.0 with version 3.5.2.
If the system prompts you to replace any other DLLs, including system
DLLs, such as msvcrt40.dll version 4.20, click No. Do not replace any
system DLLs.
Note: Click OK if a window with the following message appears:
COMCTL32.DLL - The system does not need this update.
Result: When the installation is complete, the Sybase Installer
Confirmation window appears and prompts you to restart the system before
configuring the installed components.
11 Click Yes.
Result: This can take several minutes. Do not attempt to manually restart
the system. When restarting, log on as a user with administrator privileges.
After the system restarts, the Information window appears and confirms the
Sybase installation.

Do not remove the Contact Center Manager
installation DVD from the DVD-ROM drive during the
system restart process. The Installation Wizard
carries out some final configuration procedures after
the system restarts.
12 Click OK.
13 Close the Control Panel window. Continue with the following procedure,
“To update the Sybase ODBC driver.”
ATTENTION
If you are installing Contact Center Manager Administration
on a coresident server with Contact Center Manager Server,
then the Sybase OBDC driver is already updated and you can
proceed directly to “Step 4. Install the Crystal Enterprise 10
Embedded software” on page 85. The Contact Center Manager
Server uses the ODBC driver version 4.10.00.41. Therefore,
Nortel recommends that you do not install EBF11113 as part
of the Contact Center Manager Administration installation as
it will overwrite the OBDC version used by Contact Center
Manager Server and can impact operation of the Contact
Center Manager Server.
Notes:
If you already have Sybase Open Client 12.5 installed on the Contact
Center Manager Administration server and are upgrading Contact Center
Manager Administration from one build to the next build, then you must
update the Sybase Open Client 12.5 ODBC driver before you upgrade the
Contact Center Manager Administration software.
For further instructions, see the instructions.txt file, which is located in the
EBF11113 folder on the Contact Center Manager installation DVD.
1 On the Contact Center Manager Administration server, free up all active
Sybase Open Client connections as follows:
a. Close all Contact Center Manager Administration browser sessions.
b. Stop any other third-party applications that are running on the Contact
Center Manager Administration server and that use Sybase Open
Client.
2 On the Contact Center Manager Administration server, reset IIS as follows:
a. Click Start > Run.
b. In the Open box, type cmd.

For example, if SU01, SUS0101, SUS0102 are released, SU02 contains SU01,
SUS0101, SUS0102 in the SU02 release.
Note: Designer Patches (DP) address critical issues for specific customers. A
DP is usually posted to a secure location and installed on the recommendation of
a Nortel support technician.
Notes:
You must be logged on to the Contact Center Manager Administration
server as an administrator or as a user with administrator privileges before
you can perform the following procedure.
Before installing the Service Update or Service Update Supplement, Nortel
recommends that you verify the patch level currently installed on the server
by launching the Patch Viewer utility. On the server, click Start > All
Programs > Nortel Contact Center > Manager Administration > Patch
Viewer. You cannot install a patch that is older than an update that is
already installed. Likewise, you cannot install a Service Update
Supplement unless the applicable Service Update is installed.

Notes:
The readme file can contain important information about the update that
you are installing, such as a list of dependent patches, any pre- or
postinstallation tasks that you may have to perform, or the need to stop
any services manually. Nortel recommends that you read the file before
installing the patch.
If you are attempting to install an older version of a Service Update or
Service Update Supplement than that which is currently installed on the
server, the installation is halted and a notification window appears. Click
Cancel to exit the installation. If you require the older Service Update,
then you must manually uninstall the newer patch, and then run the
installation for the older patch again. For details on uninstalling patches,
see “Uninstalling an SU, SUS, or DP” on page 1584.
8 Click Next.
Result: The Ready to Install window appears.

If you are installing a new Service Update on a server that contains an
existing Service Update and perhaps some Service Update
Supplements, the system removes these patches before installing the
new one. The Installed patches found window appears, listing the
current installed patches.
Click Next to remove the patches. When the system has finished
removing the patches, the installation of the new patch proceeds. See
step 9.
The Files in Use window appears if you have files open that the
installation program needs to update. You must close the files shown in
the window, and then click Retry to continue with the upgrade.
9 Click Install.
Result: The Installing window appears, showing you the progress of the

Overview
Introduction
After you have installed Contact Center Manager Administration, you have the
option of adding your Contact Center Manager Administration server to an
existing Windows domain.
If you have already added your Contact Center Manager Administration server
to an existing domain or if you do not want to add your server to an existing
domain, you can skip this step and proceed directly to “Step 9. Add ASP.NET
applications to IIS” on page 127.
You must add the server to an existing domain in the following scenarios:
If you are installing a replicating server, the replicating server must be
added to the domain of the primary server.
If you are installing a coresident server that includes a Communication
Control Toolkit server, there are some specific scenarios that require the
Contact Center Manager Administration server to be added to an existing
domain. For further information, refer to the Communication Control
Toolkit Installation and Maintenance Guide.
For detailed information about the considerations for placing your Contact
Center Manager Administration in workgroups or domains, refer to Chapter 17,
“Working with domains and workgroups.”
4 In the Computer Name Changes window, you can change the computer’s
name and its domain or workgroup affiliation. To add the server to an
existing domain, click the Domain option button, and then type the name of
the domain (you must provide the fully qualified domain name of the
domain, which includes the prefix and suffix).
5 Click OK.
Result: A window appears asking you for a name and password with
permission to join the domain.
Introduction
In order for the Report Creation Wizard component of Contact Center Manager
Administration to function, IIS must be configured to support ASP.NET
applications.

Introduction
You have the option to customize a warning message that appears when users
attempt to log on to the Contact Center Manager Administration server. By
default, this feature is turned on in the Contact Center Manager Administration
software; however, a message will not be visible unless you configure your
message title and text in the Local Security Policy tool of Windows Server 2003.
Note: If you already have a domain security policy in place with a log-in
warning message configured, you will not be able to change the log-in warning
message using this procedure. In this case, you will need to contact your

5 Click OK.
6 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
ATTENTION
The Use Login Warning Message setting is server-specific. If
the Contact Center Manager Server is part of a networked
contact center, this setting needs to be set on each Contact
Center Manager Administration server.
Introduction
For Contact Center Manager Administration’s Real-Time Reporting component
to function properly, you must configure two different IP multicast addresses:
the Contact Center Manager Administration server receiving IP multicast
address (the address it uses to receive multicast data from Contact Center
Manager Server; it is the same as the IP multicast address on Contact
Center Manager Server)
the Contact Center Manager Administration server sending IP multicast
address (the address it uses to send multicast data)
Note: The Contact Center Manager Administration server sending and receiving
IP multicast addresses must be different.
Note: The IP multicast address that the server in Contact Center Manager Server
uses to send data must be configured on Contact Center Manager Server. This
address is listed in the IP Multicast Group box. For details, see the Contact
Center Manager Server Installation and Maintenance Guide.
Note: The unicast communication option applies only between the Contact
Center Manager Administration server and the client PCs. Because the Contact
Center Manager Administration server receives all the raw data from each server
in Contact Center Manager Server through multicast channels, this network
segment must always be multicast-enabled.
Note: If you choose, at a later date, to multicast-enable your entire network, you
may do so without upgrading Contact Center Manager Administration.
This type of data transmission enables users to view nodal real-time displays,
network-consolidated real-time displays, Agent Desktop Display, and
Emergency Help notifications on the client PCs.
Real-time displays viewed on one client PC that use the same data stream share
a single connection to the Contact Center Manager Administration server (for
example, a standard agent display and a private agent display both use the agent
moving window stream and can share a single unicast connection). Therefore,
for n client displays of different statistical types, there are n separate data
streams in operation, which introduces additional traffic on the network.
If a client opens a collection display (six displays in one screen), several unicast
channels are opened from the Contact Center Manager Administration server to
the client computer, one for each statistic type in the collection.
Note: Agent Desktop Display and Emergency Help notifications are not
available on client PCs that only receive unicast data.
4 In the IP Receive Address and IP Send Address boxes, type the correct
address information. The IP Receive address in Contact Center Manager
Administration must be the same as the multicast IP address in Contact
ATTENTION
If the server in Contact Center Manager Server is part of
a networked contact center, all servers in Contact Center
Manager Server within the network must have the same
multicast IP address. The IP Receive address for Contact
Center Manager Administration must match the common
multicast IP addresses of the servers in Contact Center
Manager Server (the address used to send multicast
data).
Note: The IP multicast addresses that you select for RSM sending and
receiving must be within the 224.0.1.0 and 239.255.255.255 range. Check
with your network administrator for acceptable IP multicast addresses for
your specific network.
5 Accept the default values in the Output Rate box (5000) and the
Transform Rate box (1000). You can adjust the default values; however,
reducing the Output Rate value and the Transform Rate value increases the
workload on the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
Note: The fastest rate at which multicast data from Contact Center
Manager Server reaches the end user in Contact Center Manager
Administration is equal to the highest value among the following settings:
the Multicast Rate at which data is sent from Contact Center Manager
Server to the Contact Center Manager Administration server (For more
information about Multicast Rates, see the Nortel Contact Center 6.0
Planning and Engineering Guide.)
the Output Rate at which the Contact Center Manager Administration
server sends data to client PCs
the Transform Rate at which the Contact Center Manager Administration
server processes data
Example
If the Contact Center Manager Server Multicast Rate is set to 2
seconds, the Contact Center Manager Administration server Transform
Rate is set to 1 second, and the Contact Center Manager Administration
server Output Rate is 7 seconds, then the data on the client PC will not
refresh faster than every 7 seconds, regardless of the refresh rate that
the user has chosen in Real-Time Reporting.
If you want to decrease the length of time required for real-time statistics
to reach client PCs, you can decrease the Output Rate and Transform
Rate values; however, this impacts performance on the Contact Center
Manager Administration server. Notify users of the Real-Time Reporting
component of these rates so they can adjust the refresh rate
accordingly. For more information about adjusting rates and assessing
performance, see the Contact Center - Manager CapTool User’s Guide.
6 Accept the default value in the OAM Timeout box (10000).
ATTENTION
You may need to increase the OAM Timeout value if the
following situations occur:
You cannot see any partition elements in the right
pane when creating or viewing a partition in Access
and Partition Management. This can occur when there
is a large amount of data stored on Contact Center
Manager Server and the network is slow.
Your contact center has a large numbers of agents or
skillsets. In this case, it may not be possible to return a
large list of agents or skillsets when viewing a report
using the Historical Reporting component.
If you increase the OAM Timeout value, this provides
more time for the partition elements to be collected on a
per-server basis. Nortel recommends that you increase
this value in increments of 10 000 (milliseconds).
7 Nortel recommends that you leave the Compress Realtime Data Packets
check box selected, which is the default setting. If you clear this check
mark, then you disable real-time data packet compression.
8 In the Transmission Options area, click the button beside the
transmission mode that is required for the site. Choose one of:
Multicast only if your network supports multicast traffic (recommended),
and proceed to step 11.
Unicast only if you do not want any multicast traffic on your network,
and proceed to step 9.
Multicast and Unicast if you want to support both transmission types,
and proceed to step 9.
12 Click OK.
Result: The Restart ICERtdService status window appears while the
service is restarting, and closes after the service has restarted
successfully.
13 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
ATTENTION
Nortel recommends that you take note of your Real-Time
Reporting Configuration settings whenever these settings are
changed (for example, after installing or upgrading Contact
Center Manager Administration). If you need to restore your
Contact Center Manager Administration data, you will need to
reconfigure these settings manually.
The Emergency Help component only functions if you are using the multicast
communication method from the Contact Center Manager Administration server
to the client PC.
Note: If you are configuring a replicating server, you must ensure that the
Emergency Help Configuration settings on the replicating server match the
Emergency Help Configuration settings on the primary server.
2 In the left pane, navigate to the Emergency Help folder by clicking the (+)
sign next to the Nortel Networks folder and the (+) sign next to the
Applications folder.
3 In the left pane, click the Emergency Help folder.
Result: The Emergency Help Configuration window appears.
5 In the IP Send Address box, type the IP address to which the Contact
Center Manager Administration server sends Emergency Help information.
This IP Send address can be the same as or different from the IP address
that the Contact Center Manager Administration server uses to send Real-
Time Reporting and Agent Desktop Display data to client PCs. See the
checklist in “Step 2. Install your remote support access tool” on page 57 to
verify the IP Send address that you chose for the Contact Center Manager
Administration server to send Emergency Help data to client PCs (item 16
of the worksheet).
6 Click the Restart Emergency Help Service check box.
7 Click OK.
Result: The system restarts Emergency Help.
8 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
ATTENTION
Nortel recommends that you take note of your Emergency
Help Configuration settings whenever these settings are
changed (for example, after installing or upgrading Contact
Center Manager Administration). If you need to restore your
Contact Center Manager Administration data, you will need to
reconfigure these settings manually.
Introduction
The step documents the procedures for the following tasks:
1. Configuring SMTP for Historical Reporting
This task is required if you want to send an e-mail notification to report
recipients when the Historical Report component generates a scheduled
report.
2. Configuring printers for Historical Reporting
This task is required if you want to print scheduled historical reports to a
network printer.
Note: To use SMTP, Internet Information Services (IIS) and Microsoft Active
Directory Application Mode must be installed on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server.
2 In the left pane, click the plus sign (+) beside <Computer_Name> (Local
computer).
Result: If one of the branches that appears on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server tree is Default SMTP Virtual Server, then an SMTP
server is installed.

client PCs to the SMTP virtual server, perform the following steps:
a. Click the General tab.
b. Click the Enable logging check box.
You have three options for configuring printers to print scheduled historical
reports:
Option 2: Configure a default network printer that uses the Contact Center
Manager Administration server as the print server
Procedures for each of these options are documented in this section. Choose the
option that is most appropriate for your organization.
Note: You can set up as many printers as your operating system supports.
However, only five scheduled reports are processed simultaneously. The
remaining scheduled reports wait in queue and get processed on first-in, first-out
basis. This is done to provide higher priority to the ad hoc reports. You can use
any of these printers to print reports and scripts, provided that they are
configured according to one of the following procedures.
The following procedure is valid for network printers that have a standard
TCP/ IP protocol, or that use a Hewlett-Packard Jet Direct card.

Introduction
This step documents procedures for the following tasks:
1. Creating a shared folder for exporting scheduled reports
This task is required if you want to create a shared folder on the Contact
Center Manager Administration server or the client PC so that multiple
users can access scheduled reports from the same folder.
2. Configuring a shared network folder for synchronizing reports
This task is required if you want to synchronize imported reports to
automatically update with changes to the original reports on the network
computer.
Option 1: You can create a shared folder on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server for exporting scheduled reports.
Option 2: You can create a shared folder on the client PC for exporting
scheduled reports.
Note: Granting change and read permissions to the scheduled report account
(that is iceAdmin or domain account) only provides a higher level of security.
However, granting change and read permissions to the Everyone group provides
more flexibility because Contact Center Manager Administration users can
download exported report output files from the shared folder without special
permissions. Choose the option that is most appropriate for the security policy of
your organization.
1. To create a shared target folder with change and read permissions to the
scheduled report account (that is, iceAdmin or domain account), follow the
steps below:
Create a folder on the Contact Center Manager Administration server
that will store the exported scheduled report file from scheduled reports.
Grant change/read permissions to the scheduled report account (that is,
iceAdmin or domain account) on the folder
2. To create a shared folder with change and read permissions to Everyone
account on the Contact Center Manager Administration server, follow these
steps:
Create a folder on the Contact Center Manager Administration server
that will store the exported scheduled report file from scheduled reports.
Right-click on the target folder and grant change/read permissions to
Everyone.
For example, to export scheduled report files to the Contact Center Manager
Administration server, in the Output box on the Report Properties window, type
the path to the shared folder where the report will be sent. The path must have
the format \\<Contact Center Manager Administration server name>\<shared
folder name>\<file name>, without the file extension. That is, if the Contact
Center Manager Administration server computer name is appsrvr, the shared
folder name is reports, and you decide to call the report agent, you type
\\appsrvr\reports\agent in the Output box.
Note: Scheduled reports use the local administrator account named iceAdmin or
the domain account set up by the administrator in the iceAdmin Password
Change Utility to run, print and export the scheduled report.
The reports are exported locally to the shared folder on the Contact Center
Manager Administration server. Contact Center Manager Administration users
require read permission on the Contact Center Manager Administration's shared
folder to copy the exported report files to their desktops/client PCs.
To enable users to access the saved report file, you must grant each user
read/delete access rights to this folder on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server (or alternately, create separate shared folders with read/
delete access for each applicable user). For details about configuring user access
privileges, see the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 documentation.
You can only export scheduled reports to client PCs that are within the same
domain as the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
To export scheduled reports to the client PC, you must first create a shared folder
on the client PC, and grant change and read permissions to the scheduled reports
account group (that is, iceAdmin or the domain account set up by the
administrator using the iceAdmin Password Change Utility).
1. To create a shared target folder with change and read permissions to the
iceAdmin account, follow the steps below:
Click Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Local Users
and Groups > Users.
Create a new user iceAdmin with the same password as on Contact
Center Manager Administration server
Create a folder on the client PC that will store the exported scheduled
report file from the Contact Center Manager Administration scheduled
reports.
Grant change/read permissions to the local iceAdmin account on the
folder
Note: This option will not work when the client PC is outside the domain of the
Contact Center Manager Administration server. In this scenario, you must add
the client PC to the network domain of the Contact Center Manager
Administration server.
To export scheduled report files to a client PC, in the Output box on the Report
Properties window, type the path to the shared folder to which the report will be
sent. The path must have the format \\<client PC computer name>\<shared
folder name>\<file name>, without the file extension. Alternatively, you can
use the Browse button to select your shared folder for export file.
Example: If you want to export the Agent Performance report to a shared folder
on the client PC, and the client PC computer name is clientpc, the shared folder
name is reports, and you decide to call the report agent, you type
\\clientpc\reports\agent in the Output box.
For details about configuring user access privileges, see the Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 documentation. If you require additional information about creating
and mapping folders, see your Microsoft documentation.
However, if you make changes to the original report on the network computer
after you import it into Contact Center Manager Administration, these changes
are not reflected in the imported report unless you select Synchronize report
template from the network drive in the template importing wizard. If you select
this value when importing the report, then, when you subsequently run the
imported report in Contact Center Manager Administration (either ad hoc or
scheduled), the system checks the network folder in which the original report is
stored to see if any changes have been made to it. If the original report has
changed, then the system synchronizes these changes with the imported report
before running it. This process is automatic and invisible to the user.
If you have made changes to several original reports after importing them into
Contact Center Manager Administration, you can manually synchronize the
changes with the imported reports all at once by using the Synchronize User
Imported Report Templates window in Contact Center Manager Administration.
In this window, when you click Submit, the system synchronizes the changes
that you have made to all original reports stored in shared folders on a client PC
with the copies stored on the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
However, because this may be a lengthy process (based on the number of
reports), and to avoid corrupting any existing reports, Nortel recommends that
you do so only when no reports are running (either ad hoc or scheduled).
Before you can use the report synchronization feature, you must set up the
shared folder on the client PC with the appropriate access privileges according to
your organization’s security policy.
ATTENTION
When the Contact Center Manager Administration server is
part of a network domain, the user imported reports (only
when run as scheduled reports) might not be synchronized
automatically because the Contact Center Manager
Administration server account that is used for scheduled
reports, iceAdmin, might not have access to the network
directory. In this scenario, to synchronize the affected user
imported reports, follow the procedure “To manually
synchronize changes made to user imported templates” in
the Contact Center Manager Administration online Help, or
run the report ad hoc whenever the original report template
is modified on the source network location.
or
You can share the folder with read permissions for the IUSR_SWC and
iceAdmin accounts (these accounts are used by the Contact Center Manager
Administration server). For details, see “Option 2: Share the folder with
read permissions for the IUSR_SWC and iceAdmin accounts (these
accounts are used by the Contact Center Manager Administration server)”
on page 189.
Choose the option that best suits your company’s security policy.
Option 1: Share the folder with read permissions for the Everyone
account and enable Guest account on the client PC
1 On the client PC, create a folder to store your user-created report
templates.
2 On the client PC, open Windows Explorer.
3 Right-click the folder that you created in step 1, and then select Properties.
Result: The <folder name> Properties window opens.
6 Click Permissions.
Result: The Permissions window opens.

in the lower section of the window, beside Read, ensure that there is a
check mark in the Allow column. No other check marks should appear.
8 Click Apply.
9 Click OK.
Result: The <folder name> Properties window reappears.
10 Click OK to save your changes and close the <folder name> Properties
window.
11 You must enable the Guest user account before you can proceed with the
rest of the procedure. Click Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools

a previously installed English version of the operating
system. Instead, you must ensure that the Contact Center
Manager Administration server is completely clean and
free of all English operating system components before
proceeding with the non-English installation. Failure to
do so results in functionality problems in Contact Center
Manager Administration.
Coresident servers
If your Contact Center Manager Administration is coresident with other Contact
Center 6.0 applications, certain limitations apply with respect to working in
languages other than English.
On coresident servers that contain Contact Center Manager Server and Contact
Center Manager Administration, the only supported language versions of the
Windows Server 2003 operating system are:
English
Japanese
Traditional Chinese
There are three language families that Contact Center Manager Administration
recognizes:
Latin 1 Includes all the Western European languages that use the Latin 1
character set (including English, French, German)
Traditional Chinese This language has its own distinct multi-byte
character set and, therefore, belongs to an individual language family
Japanese This language has its own distinct multi-byte character set and,
therefore, belongs to an individual language family
Note: Although English belongs to the Latin 1 language family, the character
sets for English are included in all language families. Therefore, you can display
English on a system configured in any language family by changing the
language preferences in the Internet Explorer browser.

Overview
Introduction
To log on to Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0, you need to install and
configure a client PC at your client workstations. A client PC can be any
computer in your network, including the Contact Center Manager
Administration server.
Each client PC must be configured with Internet Explorer 6.0 with the latest
supported service pack and be supported by one of the following operating
systems:
Windows 2000 Professional
Windows 2000 Server
Windows 2000 Advanced Server
Windows XP Professional
Windows Server 2003
Note: For information about the service packs that have been validated with
Contact Center Manager Administration, consult the Contact Center Portfolio
Service Packs Compatibility and Security Hotfixes Applicability List located at
www.nortel.com.
If you want agents to be able to launch the Agent Desktop Display, you must
install these components on each applicable client PC.
This chapter provides instructions for installing and configuring the required
software on the client PCs.
In this section
Step 1. Configure the display 252
Step 2. Upgrade the browser on client workstations 254
Step 3. Configure Internet Explorer 255
Step 4. Install Simple Object Access Protocol 270
Step 5. Install .NET Framework v. 1.1 (optional) 274
On each client PC, you must configure the display settings so that all Contact
Center Manager Administration components are displayed correctly in the
browser window.
Introduction
To access Contact Center Manager Administration with a client PC, you must
upgrade the browser to Internet Explorer 6.0 with the latest supported service
pack on each client workstation. For information about the service packs that
have been validated with Contact Center Manager Administration, consult the
Contact Center Portfolio Service Packs Compatibility and Security Hotfixes
Applicability List located at www.nortel.com.
If your client PCs are already running Internet Explorer 6.0 with the latest
supported service pack, proceed directly to “Step 3. Configure Internet
Explorer” on page 255.
Search for downloads for Internet Explorer and select the latest service pack to
install.
Introduction
To access Contact Center Manager Administration with a client PC, you must
configure the browser (Internet Explorer 6.0 with the latest supported service
pack) on each client workstation.
When you configure Internet Explorer 6.0, you configure the Contact Center
Manager Administration server as a Trusted Site, and either disable all cookies
or block cookies to the desired level of security.
The supported operating systems for Internet Explorer 6.0 on the client PC are:
Windows 2000 Professional
Windows 2000 Server
Windows 2000 Advanced Server
Windows XP Professional
Windows Server 2003
For information about security issues and Internet Explorer, see “About ActiveX
control security” on page 255.
Digital signatures
All controls provided with Contact Center Manager Administration are
contained within .cab files that are digitally signed either by Nortel or by the
third-party vendor of origin. Signing the .cab file verifies that the software
originated from a trusted source. The signed .cab file cannot be altered without
invalidating the signature, which validates that the contents of the .cab file
(including the control) also originated from a trusted source.
If the browser’s security settings stipulate that a control must be signed before
being downloaded, Internet Explorer checks whether the .cab file containing the
control is signed before downloading an ActiveX control to the client PC. If the
signature is valid, the control is downloaded to the client PC.
This type of certificate is valid for a specified period of time (usually one year)
during which time software developers can use it to sign binary files with their
digital signature. The code signing certificate can expire (usually after one year)
without invalidating the signature. Provided the digital signature includes a
timestamp, the only other requirement for the validity of the digital signature is
that the code signing certificate be valid when the code is digitally signed. The
digital signature includes a timestamp taken from a trusted server to prove the
date on which the code was signed.
Note: Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates are different in that they are not
useful once they have expired.
If these controls were marked as “safe for scripting,” they would be available to
all intranet and Internet zone web sites; however, because these controls are not
marked “safe for scripting,” they are only available to trusted sites, a more
secure solution.
6 Under the ActiveX Controls and plug-ins heading, ensure that Enable or
Prompt is selected for the following ActiveX control and plug-in:
Download signed ActiveX Controls
Note: All controls required for Contact Center Manager Administration
components are contained within .cab files that are digitally signed. If you
select Enable, Internet Explorer does not notify you that it is downloading a
required control. The control is automatically downloaded to the client PC
the first time it is required by the Contact Center Manager Administration
component in which you are working. If you select Prompt, the first time

Introduction
For Contact Center Manager Administration to function correctly, you must
install a software package containing Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
components. You must perform this installation on every client PC that accesses
the Contact Center Manager Administration server and that runs any one of the
following operating systems:
Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows 2000 Professional
Note: If you are running the client browser on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server, SOAP is already installed on the server. Therefore, you
can skip this step and proceed directly to “Step 6. Accept the license agreement
in Server Utility” on page 278.
Note: Some Internet Explorer versions require the Internet Explorer setting
Automatic prompting for file downloads in the Downloads section also to be
set to Enable for the Trusted Sites zone, to allow the SOAP files download
prompt to be displayed.
Only users who are logged on to the client PC with administrator privileges can
install the software. If a user without administrator privileges is logged on to the
client PC, then that user has the option of downloading and saving the
ClientSOAP.msi file to the client PC hard drive. An administrator can then
install the software later by double-clicking this file. However, note that you
cannot use Contact Center Manager Administration until the client SOAP
software is installed.
Note: You only need to perform this installation once on each client PC,
regardless of the number of Contact Center Manager Administration upgrades
you install afterward.
1 On the client PC, open Internet Explorer.
2 In the Address box, type the server name. For example, http://<Contact
Center Manager Administration Server Name>.
3 Press Enter.
Result: The Contact Center Manager Administration server displays the
Contact Center - Manager main logon window, and then a warning
message appears, notifying you that you must have SOAP 3.0 installed on
the client PC.
4 Click OK.
Result: A message box appears, enabling you to download the SOAP
package.
8 Click Install.
Result: The Installing SOAP window appears.
Introduction
The .NET Framework Version 1.1 and .NET Service Pack 1 must be installed on
the client machines before you can run an application such as the Agent Desktop
application or the Outbound Campaign Management Tool.
Note: You cannot install two different language versions of the .NET
Framework on the same machine. If you want to view .NET Framework
applications in a different language, you must download the appropriate
language version of the .NET Framework language pack.
You also need to add the Contact Center Multimedia server to the list of servers
that are administered by Contact Center Manager Administration. For details
about installing the Contact Center Multimedia server, refer to the Contact
Center Multimedia Installation and Maintenance Guide. For details about
adding the Contact Center Multimedia server to the list of servers administered
by Contact Center Manager Administration using the Configuration component,
refer to the Contact Center Manager - Administrator’s Guide.
If you will not be using the Outbound Campaign Management Tool component,
you can skip this step and proceed directly to “Step 6. Accept the license
agreement in Server Utility” on page 278.
5 Verify that the version is 1.1.4322. If this version is not correct, you must
install the latest version of the Microsoft .NET Framework.
6 Click Close.
7 Close the Add and Remove Programs window.
What’s next?
Log on to the Contact Center - Manager for the first time. For details, see
Section B: “Logging on to CCMA for the first time,” on page 277.
In this section
Step 6. Accept the license agreement in Server Utility 278
Step 7. Log on to CCMA for the first time 280
Step 8. Download controls to the client 286
Introduction
If you have installed or upgraded Contact Center Manager Server, you must
accept the licence agreement on the Server Utility on the Contact Center
Manager Server before you can log on to the Contact Center Manager
Administration server. If you have not upgraded or performed a new installation
of Contact Center Manager Server, you can skip the procedure and proceed to
“Step 7. Log on to CCMA for the first time,” on page 280.
2 Enter the sysadmin user ID, and password, and the server name or IP
address in the text boxes.
3 Click OK.
Result: The End User License Agreement window appears.
Introduction
After you have installed and configured the required third-party software on the
client PC (Internet Explorer version 6.0 with the latest supported service pack
and SOAP 3.0), log on to Contact Center Manager Administration to test the
installation.
In order to perform the procedures in this chapter, you must be able to log on to
the Contact Center Manager Administration server. If you have upgraded or
performed a new installation of Contact Center Manager Server, you must
accept the licence agreement on the Server Utility in Contact Center Manager
Server before you will be able to log on to the Contact Center Manager
Administration server. For details about accepting the license agreement in
Server Utility, see “Step 6. Accept the license agreement in Server Utility,” on
page 278.
ATTENTION
When you change the webadmin password, you
must ensure that you do not lose or forget the new
password or you cannot log on to Contact Center
Manager Administration as the webadmin
administrator. In this case, you must uninstall and
reinstall Contact Center Manager Administration to
reinstate the original webadmin user account with
the default password.
Tip: To avoid this scenario, immediately after
installing Contact Center Manager Administration,
log on to the Contact Center Manager Administration
server as webadmin, and create a new administrator
account of your choice (for example, tempadmin),
giving this user account Access and Partition
Management rights. This way, if you lose or forget
your new webadmin password, you can still log on to
the Contact Center Manager Administration server as
tempadmin and change the webadmin password. For
more information about adding Contact Center
Manager Administration users, see the online Help.
10 Click OK.
Result: Because this is the first time you have logged on, the logon window
prompts you to add the first Contact Center Manager Server.
11 In the Server Name box, type the name of the Contact Center Manager
Server.
Note: Do not enter the fully qualified domain name of the server in the
Server Name box. Enter the computer name of the server.
12 Press Tab.
Result: The server IP address automatically appears in the IP Address
box.
Note: If the value Unknown appears in the IP Address box, then the server
name is not registered with either the Domain Name Service (DNS) or the
HOSTS table. In this case, you must update your DNS or host file on the
Contact Center Manager Administration server with the name of the
Contact Center Manager Server. For details, see the Contact Center
Manager Administration Technical Requirements and Operating System
Configuration Guide.
13 In the Display Name box, type the name of the Contact Center Manager
Server as you want it to appear in the system tree in Contact Center -
Manager. It is important that you use the server name, not the IP address of
the server, as using an IP address will cause errors in Real-Time Reporting
functionality.
Note: The system automatically assigns a display name that is the same as
the server name. If you want to enter a different display name, it must be a
unique name.
14 Enter the sysadmin username and password for the Contact Center
Manager Server.
Note: If you get a log-in sequence error message, check your username
and password by logging on to Server Utility.
15 Press Submit.
Note: If the license agreement on the Contact Center Manager Server has
not been accepted, you will be prompted to accept the license agreement
using Server Utility. For details, see “Step 6. Accept the license agreement
in Server Utility,” on page 278.
Result: The Contact Center- Manager Launchpad appears.
Introduction
All Contact Center Manager Administration components, with the exception of
the Audit Trail component, require that you download controls to your client PC
in order to ensure proper functionality in each of the components. For a list of all
controls required by Contact Center Manager Administration components, see
“Controls that are downloaded to the client PC” on page 287.
Client
Install
Control Location* CAB file Control File Company Purpose Version
Client

Control Location* CAB file Control File Company Purpose Version
Note: The SOAP 3.0 client is also required on the client PC. For more
information about installing the client version of SOAP, see “Step 4. Install
Simple Object Access Protocol,” on page 270.
1 Click Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy.
Result: The Local Security Settings window appears.
7 From the Local policy setting list, select the new policy setting (select
either Silently Succeed or Warn but allow installation, based on your
preference).
8 Click OK to save your changes.
9 Close the Local Security Policy Setting window.
When the browser is configured to prompt, a dialog box opens the first time the
control is required by Contact Center Manager Administration. This dialog box
displays the name of the control, the company of origin, and prompts you to
accept the control before it is downloaded. When this dialog box is displayed,
you must choose to accept the control before the system will download the
control to the client PC. You will only be prompted to accept the control the first
time that the control is required by the Contact Center Manager Administration
component in which you are working.
For a list of the controls required by each component, see “Controls that are
downloaded to the client PC” on page 287.
Note: Both regular Windows users and domain users who log on to client PCs
running either Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, or Windows 2000
Professional must have an ID that is part of the Power Users group on the client
PC to successfully download and install many of the controls required by
Contact Center Manager Administration. (A user with administrator privileges
must first install client SOAP on the client PCs.) For information about adding
these users to the Power Users group, consult Microsoft Windows Help in the
appropriate operating system. After the required controls have been successfully
downloaded to the client PC by a user with administrator privileges, users who
are not members of the Power Users group or users who do not have
administrator privileges will be able to use all Contact Center Manager
Administration components on the client PC to which they have been granted
access.
2 On the General tab, under the Temporary Internet files heading, click
Settings.
Result: The Settings window appears.
Note: Controls downloaded using the ActiveX Controls.msi file will not appear
in the Internet Explorer Downloaded Program Files window.
Deleting controls
You can delete any of the controls from the list of installed controls on the client
PC. However, note that if Internet Explorer has used the control, you may need
to close the browser and reopen it before the system allows you to delete the
control.
A user with administrator privileges can log on to each client PC, connect
to the Contact Center Manager Administration server, and can
automatically download all required controls by opening all applicable
components and windows that require these controls.
For those users who have a central management tool in their network, such
as a Systems Management Server (SMS), Nortel has bundled the required
controls into a single file called ActiveX Controls.msi. You can use the
SMS server to run this file and silently install all the required controls on all
the SMS clients, regardless of the level of user who has logged on to the
PC. For details, see “To run the ActiveX Controls.msi file from an SMS
server” on page 294.
If you do not have an SMS server, a user with administrator privileges can
launch the ActiveX Controls.msi file on each client PC individually to
install all the required controls at once (without having to log on to Contact
Center Manager Administration). For details, see “To run the ActiveX
Controls.msi file on each client PC” on page 295.
Note: Both regular Windows users and domain users who log on to client PCs
running either Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, or Windows 2000
Professional must have an ID that is part of the Power Users group on the client
PC to successfully download and install many of the controls required by
Contact Center Manager Administration. (A user with administrator privileges
must first install client SOAP on the client PCs.) For information about adding
these users to the Power Users group, consult Microsoft Windows Help in the
appropriate operating system.
Notes:
Because installation procedures through an SMS system can vary from one
company to the next, the following procedure offers general guidelines
only. Follow your company’s guidelines to install the ActiveX
Controls.msi file on the SMS clients in your network.
In addition to using an SMS server, a system administrator can install this
package on client PCs within the same domain using the Windows group
policy. For details, see the documentation on the Microsoft web site at
www.support.microsoft.com.
Controls downloaded using the ActiveX Controls.msi file will not appear in
the Internet Explorer Downloaded Program Files window.
1 Configure the browser to enable 'initialize and script ActiveX Controls not
marked as safe' by completing the procedures in “Step 3. Configure
Internet Explorer” on page 255.
2 Log on to the SMS server with administrator privileges.
3 Insert the Contact Center Manager installation DVD into the SMS server,
and then navigate to the root directory.
4 From the Contact Center Manager installation DVD, copy the file ActiveX
Controls.msi to the desired directory on the SMS server.
5 Double-click the ActiveX Controls.msi file to run the installation and install
the files on all SMS client PCs in your network.
Note: Controls downloaded using the ActiveX Controls.msi file will not appear
in the Internet Explorer Downloaded Program Files window.
1 Configure the browser to enable 'initialize and script ActiveX Controls not
marked as safe' by completing the procedures in “Step 3. Configure
Internet Explorer” on page 255.

What’s next?
Install and configure Agent Desktop Display. For details, see Section C:
“Configuring agent workstations,” on page 299.
In this section
Step 9. Install and configure Agent Desktop Display 300
Introduction
Agent Desktop Display is a Windows-based tool that provides skillset
monitoring to Contact Center Manager Server agents. Agents or supervisors can
log on to Agent Desktop Display using their phoneset logon ID and view real-
time statistics for each skillset to which they belong.
The Agent Desktop Display tabular format appears as a window with several
columns. This window can be moved, minimized, resized, closed, or set to
always stay on top of the desktop like any standard Microsoft window.
The application continually verifies that the agent is logged on to the server in
Contact Center Manager Server by checking with the Contact Center Manager
Administration server once every minute. It also checks the list of skillsets that
are assigned to the logged-on agent once every 3 minutes and updates the
display accordingly.
Notes:
If the client operating system is Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, or
Windows 2000, then you must be logged on to the PC as a user with
Administrator privileges to install or upgrade Agent Desktop Display. This
also applies if you are installing the client portion of Agent Desktop
Display on the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
For information about upgrading Agent Desktop Display from Release 4.0
to 4.5, see the Symposium Web Client Planning, Installation, and
Administration Guide for Release 4.5/SU05. For information about
upgrading Agent Desktop Display from Release 4.5 to 6.0 on Windows
Server 2003, see “Postupgrade tasks on the CCMA server” on page 795.
If you choose not to upgrade your Agent Desktop Display software, you
can continue to use Agent Desktop Display Release 4.5 with Symposium
Web Client 4.5 and Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0. However,
you will not be able to access any of the new Agent Desktop Display
features that are only available in Release 6.0. For information about
upgrading Agent Desktop Display, see “Postupgrade tasks on the CCMA
server” on page 795.
Note: If you are going to use Agent Desktop Display on a client PC that
connects to multiple Contact Center Manager Administration servers, then you
must ensure that each Contact Center Manager Administration server has the
same version of Contact Center Manager Administration installed.
For details about installing Agent Desktop Display on the Contact Center
Manager Administration server, see “Installing and configuring Agent Desktop
Display on the Contact Center Manager Administration server,” on page 310.
Notes:
If the client operating system is Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, or
Windows 2000, then you must be logged on to the PC with administrator
privileges to install Agent Desktop Display. This requirement also applies if
you are installing the client portion of Agent Desktop Display on the
Contact Center Manager Administration server.
To install Agent Desktop Display on a client PC, run the setup program for
the client version of the program. You must configure the agent displays on
each client to connect to the Contact Center Manager Administration server
and to the server in Contact Center Manager Server after installation is
complete.
You can use this procedure to install both the standard English version and
the multilanguage support version of the Agent Desktop Display client
software.
Depending on your network security policy, you can install the setup.exe file
directly to the client PC or download the setup.exe file to a shared network
location and install the setup.exe from the shared network location.
4 From the list, choose the language in which you want to install or upgrade
Agent Desktop Display. You can choose from English, French, German,
Japanese, and Traditional Chinese.
Note: If you are connecting to a coresident server to use Agent Desktop
Display, then you cannot use French or German. If the server also contains

Overview
Introduction
This chapter describes how to migrate the following Classic Client data to
Contact Center Manager Administration:
Filter sets
Historical reports
Real-time displays
Graphical real-time displays
Agent-skillset and agent-supervisor scheduled assignments
User types
Network Control Center (NCC) routing table scheduled assignments
This chapter also describes how to remove associated supervisors from Classic
Client.
The procedures in this chapter are only required if you have been using
Symposium Call Center Server 5.0 administered by at least one Classic Client
and plan to upgrade your Symposium Call Center Server 5.0 to Contact Center
Manager Server 6.0.
Because Contact Center Manager Server 6.0 does not support Classic Client, if
you have been using Classic Client to administer your Symposium Call Center
Server, you will need to migrate your Classic Client data to Contact Center
Manager Administration 6.0.
If you are a new user to Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0 and Contact
Center Manager Server and do not have any Classic Clients in your network, you
do not need to perform the procedures in this chapter.
Migration checklist
With the filter sets feature, you can elect the sites and resources to be included in
a network-consolidated report. After you create and save a filter set, you can
apply it to both standard and private network-consolidated historical reports to
view only the information that you specify in the generated report. When you
connect to a Contact Center Manager Server and open a network-consolidated
report, the Selection Criteria area includes a list of the available network sites
and any available filter sets that you define and save.
You can use filter sets migrated from the Classic Client in Contact Center
Manager Administration. While each of the Classic Client filter sets contains
only one type of data – either skillsets, applications, route numbers, route names,
Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) numbers, or DNIS names – you
can add different types of data to these filter sets after you import them into
Contact Center Manager Administration by using the filter sets tabs in Historical
Reporting.
With the Filter Set Upgrade Tool, you can reuse existing Classic Client filter
sets. Use the tool to:
retrieve the existing filter set information from the Network Control Center
master database (MDB).
reformat and save filter sets in the Active Directory.
Classic Client:
Stores all user-defined and user-created reports on supervisors’ PCs
running Classic Client or on a network PC designated by supervisor.
Stores and controls all schedules on the Symposium Call Center Server.
These schedules trigger the running of reports on the Classic Client.
You must migrate user-created reports and user-defined reports from Classic
Client to Contact Center Manager Administration:
User-created reports are customer report templates created with Crystal
Reports and imported into Classic Client. User-created reports and their
schedules can be migrated from the Classic Client if they were created
using Crystal Reports software (version 9.0 or earlier). You can migrate the
following types of user-created reports: Historical, Configuration, and
Parameterized reports.
User-defined reports are user reports saved from the standard Classic
Client reports, such as the Agent Performance report. Contact Center
Manager Administration also provides the same set of standard reports.
Migrating user-defined reports involves re-creating the report manually
using the same standard template that exists on Contact Center Manager
Administration, specifying the same criteria, and saving it.
Notes:
User-created reports cannot be migrated if they were created with any other
ODBC or Structured Query Language (SQL) compliant writer. These
reports must be recreated in Contact Center Manager Administration.
If your reports are scheduled reports, you must schedule each report in Contact
Center Manager Administration and remove the schedule from the Symposium
Server through the Classic Client. If the schedule is not removed from the
Symposium Call Center Server, the report runs twice if the Classic Client is
installed and the report listener is running.
2 Select the Contact Center Manager Server from which you want to run the
report (for example, the Galway server).
Result: The server expands to reveal a choice between public, private, and
any group folders created.
Notes:
If this box is selected at the time of import, the Contact Center Manager
Administration server synchronizes the user-created reports from the
source network drive every time you modify the report using Crystal
Reports on the network drive. This means if you modify your source
report template on the network drive/PC, you do not need to import the
report to the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
To use this option, ensure the network PC is preconfigured to use it.
See the Contact Center Manager Administration Installation and
Maintenance Guide or contact your administrator for details.
9 Enter the timestamp field (if the timestamp field is not in the correct format,
the report does not run).
10 Select the Report Data Range option. The choices are Interval, Daily,
Weekly, and Monthly.
11 Click Next.
12 Click Finish.
Result: The report is added to the list in the Reports window.
Notes:
If you select the Configuration option, you do not need to specify an
alias.
To determine the alias of a database, open the report in Crystal Reports
and choose Database > Set Alias.
The Timestamp field is not required for a configuration report.
Refer to the Contact Center Manager Administration online Help for more
information about importing reports.
4 Double-click Scheduler.
Result: All of the reports currently scheduled are displayed. Make note of
the reports and their schedules for migration.
Scheduling reports
Note: For more information about scheduling reports, see the Contact Center -
Manager Supervisor’s Guide.
ATTENTION
The schedule time that you specify is based on the
time zone that you choose. However, the system
translates the schedule time that you enter to the time
zone in which the Contact Center Manager
Administration server is located. The report is
generated at the time and in the time zone you specify,
but the timestamp at the bottom of the generated
report reflects the Contact Center Manager
Administration server time. For more information about
time zones, see the Supervisor’s Reference Guide for
Symposium Web Client 4.5. This document is posted
on the web site www.nortel.com.
You can also specify one or more e-mail addresses to which the system can send
notification that the report has been generated successfully, or that there were
problems preventing the report from being generated. If the system cannot
generate the report, the e-mail notification contains possible reasons for the
failure, enabling you to repair the problem and generate the report again.
Note: If you choose to print the report to a file, you must specify a shared folder
to which the Contact Center Manager Administration server sends the output
file. This folder can be on your computer, on another computer in the network,
or on the Contact Center Manager Administration server. If the folder that you
specify is on a computer other than the Contact Center Manager Administration
server, the computer must be within the same domain as the Contact Center
Manager Administration server.
If you want to send a scheduled report to a printer, ensure that your
administrator has configured a default printer on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server. If a default printer has not been defined, then you can
only send reports to a file.
1 Click the print check box or the output to file check box, or both.
2 To print the report:
from the Printer list, select the printer to which you want to print the
scheduled report.
From the Paper Size list, select the appropriate paper size for the
printed report.
3 To send the report to a file, in the Output box, type the path to the shared
output folder. The path must have the format \\[computer name]\[shared

Section B: Installing the software on the replicating server 403
Section C: Postinstallation on the replicating CCMA server 443
Overview
Introduction
This chapter describes how to install and configure a replicating Contact Center
Manager Administration server. A replicating server is an optional part of a
Contact Center Manager Administration resiliency strategy and requires a
second Contact Center Manager Administration server. To learn more about the
requirements and advantages of replication, see “Installing primary and
replicating CCMA servers” on page 44 and Chapter 15, “Resiliency (backup,
restore, and disaster recovery).”
The procedures in this chapter are optional. If you are not installing a replicating
server at this time, skip this chapter and proceed directly to Chapter 4,
“Configuring the client PC and agent workstations.”
Note: This chapter does not include the steps for installing and configuring
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise or Standard edition on the Contact Center
Manager Administration server. Nortel recommends that you read the Contact
Center Manager Administration Technical Requirements and Operating System
Configuration Guide to obtain important information about the configuration
requirements on the Contact Center Manager Administration server before
proceeding with the tasks in this chapter.
Nortel also recommends that you consult the Contact Center Planning and
Engineering Guide and the Contact Center Installer’s Roadmap before
completing the procedures in this guide.
Timing
The following installation times provide guidance on the time required for
software installation.
Preinstallation (including operating system installation/configuration): 2
hours. For details, see the Contact Center Manager Administration
Technical Requirements and Operating System Configuration Guide.
Installing the Server Software: 30 minutes
Postinstallation: 1 hour
These times can vary depending on the server, network infrastructure and your
confidence level with the software. The installation times are based on servers
with the following specifications:
CPU: Intel Xeon 3GHz
Ram: 1.0 GB
Hard Drive: 80GB 7200 RPM SATA with no RAID configuration
DVD Drive: Internal IDE 8X DVD-ROM
In this section
Step 1. Read relevant documentation for performing a new installation 364
Step 2. Install your remote support access tool 365
Step 3. Install Sybase Open Client version 12.5 381
Step 4. Install the Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded software 393
Before you begin the installation, Nortel recommends you complete the
Required Installation Information checklist. This checklist is found in the
Contact Center Installer’s Roadmap and contains important information that
you will need when performing the installation.
Introduction
Nortel recommends that you install and configure a remote support access tool
prior to installing Contact Center Manager Administration so that you can
access technical support during the installation procedure, if required.
Nortel personnel use pcAnywhere 11.5 as the preferred remote support access
tool. To install and configure the Host Only version of pcAnywhere version 11.5
on the Contact Center Manager Administration server, refer to “Installing and
configuring pcAnywhere 11.5 as your remote support access tool” on page 366.
If you have a previous version of pcAnywhere installed on the Contact Center
Manager Administration server, consult the Symantec web site
(www.symantec.com) to find out whether you must uninstall your version before
installing pcAnywhere 11.5.
Note: Nortel recommends that you only install one of the supported remote
access tools (pcAnywhere or Remote Desktop Connection for Administration)
on the Contact Center Manager Administration server, not both.
One licensed copy of pcAnywhere version 11.5 for host computers only is
provided for the server on the Contact Center Manager installation DVD. This
software license lets you configure the server as the host computer in remote
control sessions (that is, the computer to which remote computers connect).
Use the Windows Add/Remove Programs utility in the Control Panel to install
the pcAnywhere 11.5 software. For compatibility with Contact Center Manager
Administration, ensure that you install the Host Only version of the software.
Note: If you are upgrading from a previous version of the software and the
installation wizard asks if you want to preserve configuration data, select No.
Configuration data from previous versions of pcAnywhere is incompatible with
pcAnywhere version 11.5.
ATTENTION
If you are installing Contact Center Manager
Administration on its own, do not follow the installation
and configuration procedures for a stand-alone server in the
Contact Center Manager Server documentation.
However, if you are installing Contact Center Manager
Administration on a coresident server with Contact Center
Manager Server, then you can use the installation of
pcAnywhere that has already been completed through the
Contact Center Manager Server installation. In this case, you
do not need to follow the instructions in this section.
CAUTION
Before you install pcAnywhere version 11.5, ensure that the video
drivers on the Contact Center Manager Administration server PC
are current by consulting the driver manufacturers’ web sites for
any available updates. Failure to do so can result in the appearance
of a blue screen after pcAnywhere installation or after use of
pcAnywhere for operations such as file transfer. For more
information, refer to the pcAnywhere web site at
www.symantec.com.
ATTENTION
If the following message appears, it indicates that your video
driver is incompatible with pcAnywhere: pcAnywhere
detected and fixed a display driver problem.
Please restart your computer to allow the
change to take effect. In this case, you must uninstall
pcAnywhere, update your video driver, and then reinstall
pcAnywhere.
If, during the pcAnywhere configuration, you get a message indicating that you
do not have the rights to modify a setting or create a new caller, use the
following procedure to change the Windows User access rights for pcAnywhere
files.
Note: If you are using a modem connection with pcAnywhere, you must have
the modem configured before you perform this procedure.
1 Log on to the server as Administrator.

Introduction
ATTENTION
If you are installing Contact Center Manager
Administration on a coresident server with Contact
Center Manager Server, then Sybase Open Client
version 12.5 is already installed and you can skip
this step. Likewise, you do not need to verify the
version of Sybase that is installed, nor do you need
to update the Sybase 12.5 ODBC driver. In this case,
you can proceed directly to “Step 4. Install the
Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded software” on page
393.
Note: If you have Sybase version 12.0 installed on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server, then you can perform an upgrade to Sybase version 12.5
using the following procedure. If you have a version of Sybase earlier than 12.0
installed on the Contact Center Manager Administration server, then you must
uninstall it before you install version 12.5. For information about uninstalling
the software, see the documentation posted on the Sybase web site at
www.sybase.com.
After you install Sybase Open Client version 12.5, you must update the Sybase
Open Client driver. For details, see “To update the Sybase ODBC driver” on
page 389.
4 In the System variables box, locate the Sybase software entries. For
example, if Sybase Open Client version 12.0 is installed on the server, the
list displays SYBASE_OCS: OCS_12_0, and for Sybase Open Client
version 12.5, the list displays SYBASE_OCS: OCS_12_5.
5 If the list displays SYBASE_OCS: OCS_12_5, Sybase Open Client version
12.5 is installed and you can skip to “Step 4. Install the Crystal Enterprise
10 Embedded software” on page 393. If you do not see a Sybase software
entry, or if the list displays SYBASE_OCS: OCS_12_0, you must install
Sybase Open Client version 12.5 by following the procedure “To install
Sybase Open Client version 12.5 or upgrade from version 12.0” on page
384.
Note: Contact Center Manager Administration only functions with Sybase Open
Client 12.5. If the Contact Center Manager Administration server already has a
version of Sybase installed that is newer than version 12.5, then you must
uninstall it completely before installing version 12.5. For information about
uninstalling Sybase software, see “To uninstall Sybase Open Client” on page
1506.
2 Click Exit.
3 In Windows Explorer, browse to the folder Sybase, located in the CCMA
folder of the Contact Center Manager installation DVD.
6 If you are installing the software for the first time, type a location in which to
install the software, or accept the default location shown. Nortel
recommends that when you are upgrading from Sybase 12.0, you type the
same folder in which the Sybase software is currently installed. For
example, if the software is installed on drive E in a folder called Sybase,
type E:\Sybase. If you do not know this location, type a new location in
ATTENTION
When choosing a custom location in which to install
the Sybase software, do not choose a directory name
that contains a space. For example, do not choose
D:\Program Files\Sybase because the Sybase
installation program cannot process the space in
“Program Files.”
7 Click Next.
Result: The Summary window appears and displays the components being
installed.
8 Click Next.
Result: The Create Directory window appears and prompts you to confirm
the name of the directory to which the files will be copied.
9 Click Yes.
Result: The Installing window appears and displays a status bar while the
system installs the program.
10 If you are upgrading to Sybase version 12.5, the system asks if you want to
overwrite the following existing Sybase.DLL files. Click Yes when prompted
to replace or reinstall these Sybase files:
replace mchelp.dll version 12.0 with version 12.5.0.0
replace mclib.dll version 12.0 with version 12.5.0.0
replace Language Modules version 12.0 with version 12.5
reinstall Component Sybase Central 3.2.0
If the system prompts you to replace the optional Power Dynamo file, you
can click either Yes or No. Because the file is optional, your choice does not
affect the Sybase installation. If you choose to replace the optional Power
Dynamo file, replace version 3.0.0 with version 3.5.2.
If the system prompts you to replace any other DLLs, including system
DLLs, such as msvcrt40.dll version 4.20, click No. Do not replace any
system DLLs.
Note: Click OK if a window with the following message appears:
COMCTL32.DLL - The system does not need this update.
Result: When the installation is complete, the Sybase Installer
Confirmation window appears and prompts you to restart the system before
configuring the installed components.
11 Click Yes.
Result: This can take several minutes. Do not attempt to manually restart
the system. When restarting, log on as a user with administrator privileges.
After the system restarts, the Information window appears and confirms the
Sybase installation.
ATTENTION
Do not remove the Contact Center Manager
installation DVD from the DVD-ROM drive during the
system restart process. The Installation Wizard
carries out some final configuration procedures after
the system restarts.
12 Click OK.
13 Close the Control Panel window. Continue with the following procedure,
“To update the Sybase ODBC driver” on page 389.”
ATTENTION
If you are installing Contact Center Manager Administration
on a coresident server with Contact Center Manager Server,
then the Sybase OBDC driver is already updated and you can
proceed directly to “Step 4. Install the Crystal Enterprise 10
Embedded software” on page 393. The Contact Center
Manager Server uses the ODBC driver version 4.10.00.41.
Therefore, Nortel recommends that you do not install
EBF11113 as part of the Contact Center Manager
Administration installation as it will overwrite the OBDC
version used by Contact Center Manager Server and can
impact operation of the Contact Center Manager Server.
Notes:
If you already have Sybase Open Client 12.5 installed on the Contact
Center Manager Administration server and are upgrading Contact Center
Manager Administration from one build to the next build, then you must
update the Sybase Open Client 12.5 ODBC driver before you upgrade the
Contact Center Manager Administration software.
For further instructions, see the instructions.txt file, which is located in the
EBF11113 folder on the Contact Center Manager installation DVD.
1 On the Contact Center Manager Administration server, free up all active
Sybase Open Client connections as follows:
a. Close all Contact Center Manager Administration browser sessions.
b. Stop any other third-party applications that are running on the Contact
Center Manager Administration server and that use Sybase Open
Client.
2 On the Contact Center Manager Administration server, reset IIS as follows:
a. Click Start > Run.
b. In the Open box, type cmd.
c. Click OK.

Result: The Completing the Contact Center Manager Administration Setup
Wizard window appears.
ATTENTION
After the ADAM installation is complete, the first time
full replication takes place, you may have to wait for
some time for it to finish. The amount of time required
depends on the setup of the server (for example,
whether it is in a domain, trusted domain, LAN, or a
WAN) and the speed of the network. You cannot log on
to Contact Center Manager Administration until
replication is fully completed on the new Contact
Center Manager Administration server. After replication
is complete, you can use Contact Center Manager
Administration. Replication is thereafter transparent to
the user.
Introduction
When you apply Service Updates or Service Update Supplements to one Contact
Center Manager Administration server in a replicating set, you must apply the
same Service Updates and Service Update Supplements to all Contact Center
Manager Administration servers in the configuration set.
This section includes procedures for downloading and applying the same
Service Update as on the primary Contact Center Manager Administration
server from www.nortel.com/espl. For further details about downloading and
applying Service Updates, see Chapter 13, “Applying Service Updates, Service
Update Supplements, and Designer Patches”.
Designer Patches (DP) are critical patches that are released to a limited
number of customers to address specific customer issues. DP are numbered
sequentially in the format CCMA_6.0_DP_010101,
CCMA_6.0_DP_010102, and so on. A DP is usually posted to a secure a
location and installed on the recommendation of a Nortel support
technician. For details about installing Designer Patches, see Chapter 13,
“Applying Service Updates, Service Update Supplements, and Designer
Patches.”
Note: The numbers of the Service Updates, Service Update Supplements, and
Designer Patches shown in the previous bullets are listed as examples only.
For example, if SU01, SUS0101, SUS0102 are released, SU02 contains SU01,
SUS0101, SUS0102 in the SU02 release.
Note: Designer Patches (DP) address critical issues for specific customers. A
DP is usually posted to a secure location and installed on the recommendation of
a Nortel support technician.
Notes:
You must be logged on to the Contact Center Manager Administration
server as an administrator or as a user with administrator privileges before
you can perform the following procedure.
8 Click Yes to read the file, or No to proceed directly with the installation.

Introduction
For Contact Center Manager Administration’s Real-Time Reporting component
to function properly, you must configure two different IP multicast addresses:
the Contact Center Manager Administration server receiving IP multicast
address (the address it uses to receive multicast data from Contact Center
Manager Server; it is the same as the IP multicast address on Contact
Center Manager Server)
the Contact Center Manager Administration server sending IP multicast
address (the address it uses to send multicast data)
Note: The Contact Center Manager Administration server sending and receiving
IP multicast addresses must be different.
Note: The IP multicast address that the server in Contact Center Manager Server
uses to send data must be configured on Contact Center Manager Server. This
address is listed in the IP Multicast Group box. For details, see the Contact
Center Manager Server Installation and Maintenance Guide.
Note: The unicast communication option applies only between the Contact
Center Manager Administration server and the client PCs. Because the Contact
Center Manager Administration server receives all the raw data from each server
in Contact Center Manager Server through multicast channels, this network
segment must always be multicast-enabled.
Note: If you choose, at a later date, to multicast-enable your entire network, you
may do so without upgrading Contact Center Manager Administration.
This type of data transmission enables users to view nodal real-time displays,
network-consolidated real-time displays, Agent Desktop Display, and
Emergency Help notifications on the client PCs.
Real-time displays viewed on one client PC that use the same data stream share
a single connection to the Contact Center Manager Administration server (for
example, a standard agent display and a private agent display both use the agent
moving window stream and can share a single unicast connection). Therefore,
for n client displays of different statistical types, there are n separate data
streams in operation, which introduces additional traffic on the network.
If a client opens a collection display (six displays in one screen), several unicast
channels are opened from the Contact Center Manager Administration server to
the client computer, one for each statistic type in the collection.
Note: Agent Desktop Display and Emergency Help notifications are not
available on client PCs that only receive unicast data.
4 In the IP Receive Address and IP Send Address boxes, type the correct
address information. The IP Receive address in Contact Center Manager
Administration must be the same as the multicast IP address in Contact
ATTENTION
If the server in Contact Center Manager Server is part of
a networked contact center, all servers in Contact Center
Manager Server within the network must have the same
multicast IP address. The IP Receive address for Contact
Center Manager Administration must match the common
multicast IP addresses of the servers in Contact Center
Manager Server (the address used to send multicast
data).
Note: The IP multicast addresses that you select for RSM sending and
receiving must be within the 224.0.1.0 and 239.255.255.255 range. Check
with your network administrator for acceptable IP multicast addresses for
your specific network.
5 Accept the default values in the Output Rate box (5000) and the
Transform Rate box (1000). You can adjust the default values; however,
reducing the Output Rate value and the Transform Rate value increases the
workload on the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
Note: The fastest rate at which multicast data from Contact Center
Manager Server reaches the end user in Contact Center Manager
Administration is equal to the highest value among the following settings:
the Multicast Rate at which data is sent from Contact Center Manager
Server to the Contact Center Manager Administration server (For more
information about Multicast Rates, see the Nortel Contact Center 6.0
Planning and Engineering Guide.)
the Output Rate at which the Contact Center Manager Administration
server sends data to client PCs
the Transform Rate at which the Contact Center Manager Administration
server processes data
Example
If the Contact Center Manager Server Multicast Rate is set to 2
seconds, the Contact Center Manager Administration server Transform
Rate is set to 1 second, and the Contact Center Manager Administration
server Output Rate is 7 seconds, then the data on the client PC will not
refresh faster than every 7 seconds, regardless of the refresh rate that
the user has chosen in Real-Time Reporting.
If you want to decrease the length of time required for real-time statistics
to reach client PCs, you can decrease the Output Rate and Transform
Rate values; however, this impacts performance on the Contact Center
Manager Administration server. Notify users of the Real-Time Reporting
component of these rates so they can adjust the refresh rate
accordingly. For more information about adjusting rates and assessing
performance, see the Contact Center - Manager CapTool User’s Guide.
6 Accept the default value in the OAM Timeout box (10000).
ATTENTION
You may need to increase the OAM Timeout value if the
following situations occur:
You cannot see any partition elements in the right
pane when creating or viewing a partition in Access
and Partition Management. This can occur when there
is a large amount of data stored on Contact Center
Manager Server and the network is slow.
Your contact center has a large numbers of agents or
skillsets. In this case, it may not be possible to return a
large list of agents or skillsets when viewing a report
using the Historical Reporting component.
If you increase the OAM Timeout value, this provides
more time for the partition elements to be collected on a
per-server basis. Nortel recommends that you increase
this value in increments of 10 000 (milliseconds).
7 Nortel recommends that you leave the Compress Realtime Data Packets
check box selected, which is the default setting. If you clear this check
mark, then you disable real-time data packet compression.
8 In the Transmission Options area, click the button beside the
transmission mode that is required for the site. Choose one of:
Multicast only if your network supports multicast traffic (recommended),
and proceed to step 11.
Unicast only if you do not want any multicast traffic on your network,
and proceed to step 9.
Multicast and Unicast if you want to support both transmission types,
and proceed to step 9.
12 Click OK.
Result: The Restart ICERtdService status window appears while the
service is restarting, and closes after the service has restarted
successfully.
13 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
ATTENTION
Nortel recommends that you take note of your Real-Time
Reporting Configuration settings whenever these settings are
changed (for example, after installing or upgrading Contact
Center Manager Administration). If you need to restore your
Contact Center Manager Administration data, you will need to
reconfigure these settings manually.
The Emergency Help component only functions if you are using the multicast
communication method from the Contact Center Manager Administration server
to the client PC.
Note: If you are configuring a replicating server, you must ensure that the
Emergency Help Configuration settings on the replicating server match the
Emergency Help Configuration settings on the primary server.
2 In the left pane, navigate to the Emergency Help folder by clicking the (+)
sign next to the Nortel Networks folder and the (+) sign next to the
Applications folder.
3 In the left pane, click the Emergency Help folder.
Result: The Emergency Help Configuration window appears.
5 In the IP Send Address box, type the IP address to which the Contact
Center Manager Administration server sends Emergency Help information.
This IP Send address can be the same as or different from the IP address
that the Contact Center Manager Administration server uses to send Real-
Time Reporting and Agent Desktop Display data to client PCs. See the
checklist in “Step 2. Install your remote support access tool” on page 365 to
verify the IP Send address that you chose for the Contact Center Manager
Administration server to send Emergency Help data to client PCs (item 16
of the worksheet).
6 Click the Restart Emergency Help Service check box.
7 Click OK.
Result: The system restarts Emergency Help.
8 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
ATTENTION
Nortel recommends that you take note of your Emergency
Help Configuration settings whenever these settings are
changed (for example, after installing or upgrading Contact
Center Manager Administration). If you need to restore your
Contact Center Manager Administration data, you will need to
reconfigure these settings manually.

The step documents the procedures for the following tasks:
1. Configuring SMTP for Historical Reporting
This task is required if you want to send an e-mail notification to report
recipients when the Historical Report component generates a scheduled
report.
2. Configuring printers for Historical Reporting
This task is required if you want to print scheduled historical reports to a
network printer.

Introduction
This step documents procedures for the following tasks:
1. Creating a shared folder for exporting scheduled report exports
This task is required if you want to create a shared folder on the Contact
Center Manager Administration server or the client PC so that multiple
users can access scheduled reports from the same folder.
2. Configuring a shared network folder for synchronizing reports
This task is required if you want to synchronize imported reports to
automatically update with changes to the original reports on the network
computer.
Option 1: You can create a shared folder on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server for exporting scheduled reports.
Option 2: You can create a shared folder on the client PC for exporting
scheduled reports.
Note: Granting change and read permissions to the scheduled report account
(that is iceAdmin or domain account) only provides a higher level of security.
However, granting change and read permissions to the Everyone group provides
more flexibility because Contact Center Manager Administration users can
download exported report output files from the shared folder without special
permissions. Choose the option that is most appropriate for the security policy of
your organization.
1. To create a shared target folder with change and read permissions to the
scheduled report account (that is, iceAdmin or domain account), follow the
steps below:
Create a folder on the Contact Center Manager Administration server
that will store the exported scheduled report file from scheduled reports.
Grant change/read permissions to the scheduled report account (that is,
iceAdmin or domain account) on the folder
2. To create a shared folder with change and read permissions to Everyone
account on the Contact Center Manager Administration server, follow these
steps:
Create a folder on the Contact Center Manager Administration server
that will store the exported scheduled report file from scheduled reports.
Right-click on the target folder and grant change/read permissions to
Everyone.
For example, to export scheduled report files to the Contact Center Manager
Administration server, in the Output box on the Report Properties window, type
the path to the shared folder where the report will be sent. The path must have
the format \\<Contact Center Manager Administration server name>\<shared
folder name>\<file name>, without the file extension. That is, if the Contact
Center Manager Administration server computer name is appsrvr, the shared
folder name is reports, and you decide to call the report agent, you type
\\appsrvr\reports\agent in the Output box.
Note: Scheduled reports use the local administrator account named iceAdmin or
the domain account set up by the administrator in the iceAdmin Password
Change Utility to run, print and export the scheduled report.
The reports are exported locally to the shared folder on the Contact Center
Manager Administration server. Contact Center Manager Administration users
require read permission on the Contact Center Manager Administration's shared
folder to copy the exported report files to their desktops/client PCs.
To enable users to access the saved report file, you must grant each user
read/delete access rights to this folder on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server (or alternately, create separate shared folders with read/
delete access for each applicable user). For details about configuring user access
privileges, see the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 documentation.
You can only export scheduled reports to client PCs that are within the same
domain as the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
To export scheduled reports to the client PC, you must first create a shared folder
on the client PC, and grant change and read permissions to the scheduled reports
account group (that is, iceAdmin or the domain account set up by the
administrator using the iceAdmin Password Change Utility).
1. To create a shared target folder with change and read permissions to the
iceAdmin account, follow the steps below:
Click Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Local Users
and Groups > Users.
Create a new user iceAdmin with the same password as on Contact
Center Manager Administration server
Create a folder on the client PC that will store the exported scheduled
report file from the Contact Center Manager Administration scheduled
reports.
Grant change/read permissions to the local iceAdmin account on the
folder
Note: This option will not work when the client PC is outside the domain of the
Contact Center Manager Administration server. In this scenario, you must add
the client PC to the network domain of the Contact Center Manager
Administration server.
To export scheduled report files to a client PC, in the Output box on the Report
Properties window, type the path to the shared folder to which the report will be
sent. The path must have the format \\<client PC computer name>\<shared
folder name>\<file name>, without the file extension. Alternatively, you can
use the Browse button to select your shared folder for export file.
Example: If you want to export the Agent Performance report to a shared folder
on the client PC, and the client PC computer name is clientpc, the shared folder
name is reports, and you decide to call the report agent, you type
\\clientpc\reports\agent in the Output box.
For details about configuring user access privileges, see the Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 documentation. If you require additional information about creating
and mapping folders, see your Microsoft documentation.
However, if you make changes to the original report on the network computer
after you import it into Contact Center Manager Administration, these changes
are not reflected in the imported report unless you select Synchronize report
template from the network drive in the template importing wizard. If you
select this value when importing the report, then, when you subsequently run the
imported report in Contact Center Manager Administration (either ad hoc or
scheduled), the system checks the network folder where the original report is
stored to see if any changes have been made to it. If the original report has
changed, then the system synchronizes these changes with the imported report
before running it. This process is automatic and invisible to the user.
If you have made changes to several original reports after importing them into
Contact Center Manager Administration, you can manually synchronize the
changes with the imported reports all at once by using the Synchronize User
Imported Report Templates window in Contact Center Manager Administration.
In this window, when you click Submit, the system synchronizes the changes
that you have made to all original reports stored in shared folders on a network
PC with the copies stored on the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
However, because this may be a lengthy process (based on the number of
reports), and to avoid corrupting any existing reports, Nortel recommends that
you do so only when no reports are running (either ad hoc or scheduled).
Before you can use this feature, you must set up the shared folder on the network
PC with the appropriate access privileges according to your organization’s
security policy.
ATTENTION
When the Contact Center Manager Administration server is
part of a network domain, the user imported reports (only
when run as scheduled reports) might not be synchronized
automatically because the Contact Center Manager
Administration server account that is used for scheduled
reports, iceAdmin, might not have access to the network
directory. In this scenario, to synchronize the affected user
imported reports, follow the procedure “To manually
synchronize changes made to user imported templates” in
the Contact Center Manager Administration online Help, or
run the report ad hoc whenever the original report template
is modified on the source network location.
or
You can share the folder with read permissions for the IUSR_SWC and
iceAdmin accounts (these accounts are used by the Contact Center
Manager Administration server). For details, see “Option 2: Share the
folder with read permissions for the IUSR_SWC and iceAdmin accounts
(these accounts are used by the Contact Center Manager Administration
server):” on page 506.

and iceAdmin accounts (these accounts are used by the Contact
Center Manager Administration server):
Notes: If you choose this option, you must keep in mind that you will have to
maintain two additional accounts on the network PC. There are also possible
security issues involved since the Contact Center Manager Administration server
uses these accounts to run the web site.

If you are only going to work in English across all platforms, then you can skip
this step and proceed directly to “Step 22. Install the XML Automated
Assignments feature (optional)” on page 553.
1. Ensure that the language versions of the operating systems for all platforms
(Contact Center Manager Administration, Contact Center Manager Server,
client PCs) are compatible. For details, see “Language families and
compatibility” on page 536.
2. Edit your locales.dat file to reflect the appropriate language family. For
details, see “To edit the locales.dat file” on page 538.
3. Change the Windows Regional Settings (for Traditional Chinese and
Japanese only). For details, see “To change the Windows Regional
Settings” on page 540.
4. Ensure that the required Service Updates for the language pack are installed
on the Contact Center Manager Server (for Traditional Chinese and
Japanese only). For details, see “To ensure that the required Service
Updates for the language pack are installed on the Contact Center Manager
Server” on page 543.
ATTENTION
When installing and configuring the software on the
Contact Center Manager Administration server, you cannot
install a non-English version of the operating system over
a previously installed English version of the operating
system. Instead, you must ensure that the Contact Center
Manager Administration server is completely clean and
free of all English operating system components before
proceeding with the non-English installation. Failure to
do so results in functionality problems in Contact Center
Manager Administration.
Coresident servers
If your Contact Center Manager Administration is coresident with other Contact
Center 6.0 applications, certain limitations apply with respect to working in
languages other than English.
On coresident servers that contain Contact Center Manager Server and Contact
Center Manager Administration, the only supported language versions of the
Windows Server 2003 operating system are:
English
Japanese
Traditional Chinese
There are three language families that Contact Center Manager Administration
recognizes:
Latin 1 Includes all the Western European languages that use the Latin 1
character set (including English, French, German)
Traditional Chinese This language has its own distinct multi-byte
character set and, therefore, belongs to an individual language family
Japanese This language has its own distinct multi-byte character set and,
therefore, belongs to an individual language family
Note: Although English belongs to the Latin 1 language family, the character
sets for English are included in all language families. Therefore, you can display
English on a system configured in any language family by changing the
language preferences in the Internet Explorer browser.
Contact Center Manager Administration server when used as a client PC, by first
logging on to Contact Center Manager Administration, and then opening the
utility through the browser window. With this utility, you can configure the
system to handle the character set of the language family with which you want
Contact Center Manager Administration to work.

Introduction
To access Contact Center Manager Administration with a client PC, you must
configure the browser (Internet Explorer 6.0 with the latest supported service
pack) on each client workstation.
When you configure Internet Explorer 6.0, you configure the Contact Center
Manager Administration server as a Trusted Site, and either disable all cookies
or block cookies to the desired level of security.
The supported operating systems for Internet Explorer 6.0 on the client PC are:
Windows 2000 Professional
Windows 2000 Server
Windows 2000 Advanced Server
Windows XP Professional
Windows Server 2003
For information about security issues and Internet Explorer, see “About ActiveX
control security” on page 556.
Digital signatures
All controls provided with Contact Center Manager Administration are
contained within .cab files that are digitally signed either by Nortel or by the
third-party vendor of origin. Signing the .cab file verifies that the software
originated from a trusted source. The signed .cab file cannot be altered without
invalidating the signature, which validates that the contents of the .cab file
(including the control) also originated from a trusted source.
If the browser’s security settings stipulate that a control must be signed before
being downloaded, Internet Explorer checks whether the .cab file containing the
control is signed before downloading an ActiveX control to the client PC. If the
signature is valid, the control is downloaded to the client PC.
This type of certificate is valid for a specified period of time (usually one year)
during which time software developers can use it to sign binary files with their
digital signature. The code signing certificate can expire (usually after one year)
without invalidating the signature. Provided the digital signature includes a
timestamp, the only other requirement for the validity of the digital signature is
that the code signing certificate be valid when the code is digitally signed. The
digital signature includes a timestamp taken from a trusted server to prove the
date on which the code was signed.
Note: SSL certificates are different in that they are not useful once they have
expired.
If these controls were marked as “safe for scripting,” they would be available to
all intranet and Internet zone web sites; however, because these controls are not
marked “safe for scripting,” they are only available to trusted sites, a more secure
solution.
6 Under the ActiveX Controls and plug-ins heading, ensure that Enable or
Prompt is selected for the following ActiveX control and plug-in:
Download signed ActiveX Controls
Note: All controls required for Contact Center Manager Administration
components are contained within .cab files that are digitally signed. If you
select Enable, Internet Explorer does not notify you that it is downloading a
required control. The control is automatically downloaded to the client PC
the first time it is required by the Contact Center Manager Administration
component in which you are working. If you select Prompt, the first time
that the control is required by a Contact Center Manager Administration
component a dialog box will be displayed prompting you to accept the
control. For details, see “Step 9. Install and configure Agent Desktop
Display” on page 300.
Ensure that Enable is selected for the following ActiveX Controls and plug-
ins:
Initialize and script ActiveX Controls not marked safe for scripting
Run ActiveX Controls and plug-ins

Overview
Introduction
This chapter describes supported upgrades to Release 6.0 of Contact Center
Manager Administration, and other important information to consider before
performing the upgrade.
You must also ensure that you have installed the latest supported Service Pack
for Windows Server 2003 before upgrading to Contact Center Manager
Administration 6.0. For information about the service packs that have been
validated with Contact Center Manager Administration, consult the Contact
Center Portfolio Service Packs Compatibility and Security Hotfixes Applicability
List located at www.nortel.com.
If you have a release of Symposium Web Client prior to version 4.5, you must
upgrade to Symposium Web Client 4.5 SUS0601 v1 before upgrading to Contact
Center Manager Administration 6.0. For details about upgrading to Symposium
Web Client 4.5, please refer to the Nortel Symposium Web Client 4.5 Planning,
Installation, and Administration Guide.
Upgrades
If you already have a version of the Symposium Web Client or Contact Center
Manager Administration software installed, and you want to upgrade to the next
release of the software on the same operating system platform, then you are
performing an upgrade of the software.
Migrations
If you have Symposium Web Client 4.5 SUS0601 v1 installed on a Windows
2000 Server/Advanced Server platform, and you want to install the Contact
Center Manager Administration Release 6.0 software (which is only supported
on Windows Server 2003), then you must migrate the data to a new computer
that has Windows Server 2003. This new computer must also have Symposium
Web Client 4.5 SUS0601 v1 installed. After you migrate the data, you can
upgrade to Contact Center Manager Administration Release 6.0.
Similarly, if you have Symposium Web Client 4.5 SUS0601 v1 installed on your
current server and you want to upgrade to Contact Center Manager
Administration 6.0 on a new server, then you must migrate your data to the new
server either before or after you upgrade the software.
Note: It is important that when you are migrating data, you install the same
software version and Service Update on the target server. For example, if you
have Symposium Web Client 4.5 with SU06 installed on the existing server, you
must install Symposium Web Client with SU06 on the target server.
You can use Contact Center Manager Administration to administer a Release 5.0
Symposium Call Center Server in your network, but you cannot use Symposium
Web Client 4.5 to administer Contact Center Manager Server 6.0 (or later).
To administer Contact Center Manager Server 6.0 (or later), you must upgrade
the Contact Center Manager Administration server to Release 6.0 of Contact
Center Manager Administration.
The following matrix shows the compatibility between Contact Center Manager
Server 6.0 (and previous versions) and Contact Center Manager Administration
6.0 (and previous versions).
Contact Center
Manager
Symposium Web Administration
Classic Client Client 4.5 6.0
Notes:
You can use Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0 to administer
Symposium Call Center Server 5.0 with the minimum update of SUS0504,
however not all of the features and functionality of Contact Center Manager
Administration 6.0 will be available in this configuration. For example, the
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), Universal Networking, and Open Queue
features are only available when Contact Center Manager Administration
6.0 is administering a Contact Center Manager Server 6.0. Additionally,
there are limitations for maximum number of script variables (20), and the
character limit on a script (30 000) when a Contact Center Manager
Administration 6.0 is supporting a Symposium Call Center Server 5.0
SUS0504.
Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0 is supported in the coresident
configuration only with Contact Center Manager Server 6.0 (for example,
You have two options for upgrading to Contact Center Manager Administration
6.0 in this scenario. Option 1 is recommended by Nortel because it allows you
to maintain a fully operational Symposium Web Client on the source server
while you perform the upgrade on the target server.
Option 1 (recommended)
Option 2
1. Perform a direct upgrade from Symposium Web Client 4.5 (SUS0601 v1)
to Contact Center Manager Administration on the source server. For details,
see Chapter 9, “Upgrading from SWC 4.5 (Windows 2003) to CCMA 6.0
on same server.”
1. Install Contact Center Manager Administration on the target server. For
details, see Chapter 3, “Installing the software on the primary server.” You
must also install the same Service Update level on the target server as is
installed on the source server.
2. Migrate Contact Center Manager Administration data from the source
server to the target server. For details, see Chapter 11, “Migrating CCMA
6.0 to a new server.”
Note: In this scenario, you must use two servers because Contact Center
Manager Administration does not support a direct upgrade from Windows 2000/
Advanced Server to Windows Server 2003.
1. Migrate Symposium Web Client 4.5 (SUS0601 v1) data from a Windows
2000 platform on the source server to a Windows 2003 platform on the
target server. For details, see Chapter 8, “Migrating SWC 4.5 platform from
Windows 2000 to Windows 2003.” You must also install the same Service
Update level on the target server as is installed on the source server.
2. Perform a direct upgrade from Symposium Web Client 4.5 (SUS0601 v1)
to Contact Center Manager Administration on the target server. For details,
see Chapter 9, “Upgrading from SWC 4.5 (Windows 2003) to CCMA 6.0
on same server.”
This is an automatic process and is integrated into the Contact Center Manager
Administration upgrade/install application.
The upgrade procedure is logged to the following location on the Contact Center
Manager Administration server:
Timing
The following upgrade times provide guidance on the time required for software
upgrade.
These times can vary depending on the server, network infrastructure and your

Overview
Introduction
This chapter describes how to migrate from Symposium Web Client 4.5 SU05
(or later) on a Windows 2000 Server/Advanced Server platform (source server)
to a Windows 2003 Server platform (target server). It is assumed that there is an
existing Symposium Web Client 4.5 SU05 (or later), which is correctly
configured and functioning on a Windows 2000 Server/Advanced Server (source
server) platform, and that there is a second server (target server) available for an
installation of Windows Server 2003 with Symposium Web Client 4.5 SU05 (or
later).
The procedures in this chapter describe an off-network migration. This gives you
the option of reusing the IP address of the source server, instead of having to
obtain a new IP address.
After completing the procedures in this chapter, you can perform a direct
upgrade from Symposium Web Client 4.5 on a Windows 2003 platform to
Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0. For details, see Chapter 9,
“Upgrading from SWC 4.5 (Windows 2003) to CCMA 6.0 on same server”.
You will require administrative privileges on the source server and the target
server to perform some of the procedures in this guide.

Overview
The following section details the tasks required to prepare the Windows 2000
Server/Advanced Server (source server) for the migration.
Note: Nortel recommends that you print the checklists provided in step 1 to
ensure that each task is completed.
To prepare the source server for the migration you must complete the following
tasks:
Ensure that Symposium Web Client 4.5 SU05 (or later) is installed and
configured on the source server.
Back up the source server.
Copy and extract the AD Data Migration zip file onto the source server.
Configure DNS on the source server.
Clear routes from filtersets.
Your source server must be an existing application server with Windows 2000
Server/Advanced Server and Symposium Web Client 4.5 SU05 (or later)
installed.
Introduction
Before performing the migration procedure or performing any significant
upgrade of the application server, Nortel recommends that you make a
complete backup of the entire Symposium Web Client application server,
including Active Directory, using a proven third-party backup tool of your
choice, or the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server backup method. A full
backup of the source server allows regression of the source server back to its
original state, if required.
During the backup procedure, you must ensure that no data is changed between
the back up of Active Directory and the data files. Therefore, Nortel
recommends that you perform backups during periods of low activity.
For details about creating full backups of the application server, refer to
Microsoft documentation or the documentation of the third-party backup tool of
your choice.
ATTENTION
You can use Backup to back up and restore data on either File
Allocation Table (FAT) or NT File System (NTFS) volumes.
However, if you have backed up data from an NTFS volume
used in Windows 2000, Nortel recommends that you restore
the data to an NTFS volume, or you may lose data as well as
some file and folder features.
Introduction
After you perform a full backup of the source server, create a backup of the
individual Nortel data files that are stored outside of Active Directory on the
source server. Nortel recommends that you back up the individual Nortel files in
addition to performing a full backup of the source server as this will create a
more manageable backup file containing only the data files that need to be
restored to the target server.
The data files that are stored outside of Active Directory that you must back up
before performing the full platform migration procedure include the following:
Historical report data
Real-time display snapshots
Emergency Help snapshots
Schedule data
These files are not transferred automatically from the source server to the target
server during the migration. These files must be restored separately on to the
target server in order to complete the migration between platforms.
In addition to the files listed above, you must also back up any files that you
have saved on the application server for Symposium Web Client operations, such
as:
custom report templates
Historical Reporting output files
snapshots of real-time displays
snapshots of Emergency Help panels
the directories where you have stored the following types of files (if the
directories are not the default folders specified in step 3b):
Historical report output files
Custom report templates
Real-time display snapshots
Emergency Help snapshots
Note: Real-time display snapshots are stored as HTML files in the following
default path:

In order to work around this limitation, you must clear routes before migrating
filtersets that contain routes.
ATTENTION
Any historical filterset containing routes will not migrate, and
you will lose all the information contained in the filterset
unless you complete the procedure “To clear routes from
filtersets,” on page 611.
ATTENTION!
You must keep a record of the routes you remove as you
will need to add the routes again after the migration.

Ensure the IP address of the source server is configured as the primary DNS
server on the source server.
Add the target server (Windows 2003) into the source server domain.
Log the target server onto the Windows 2000 Server/Advanced Server
(source server) domain using domain Administrator account.
Copy and extract the AD Data Migration zip file onto the target server.
Note: Nortel recommends that you print the checklists provided in Step 1 to
ensure that each task is completed.
Introduction
You must install and configure Windows Server 2003 and Symposium Web
Client 4.5 SU05 (or later) on the target server.
For further details on installing and configuring Symposium Web Client 4.5, see
the Nortel Symposium Web Client Planning, Installation, and Administration
Guide.
When you install Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition,
there are several Windows components in the installation process that are
required for Symposium Web Client:
Internet Information Services (IIS) with Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
(SMTP)
Terminal Services and Terminal Services Licensing
Notes:
Because there are no specific guidelines or restrictions regarding the
number or size of the application server partitions for Symposium Web
Client, the person installing the software must determine the best hard disk
configuration for the application server. For example, there can be separate
partitions for the operating system, the application software, and the shared
folders that are required for exporting historical reports, or everything can
be installed and configured on the same partition.
To install IIS and Terminal Services, you must scroll through the list of
components, and check Application Server and the Terminal Services and
Terminal Services Licensing boxes. IIS is a subcomponent of Application
Server, and SMTP is a subcomponent of IIS.
Terminal Services can communicate with the Terminal Services License
Server (Terminal Services Licensing) only if they are in the same domain.
Therefore, Nortel recommends that you install both on the application
server.
When installing Windows Server 2003, ensure that you install it on a clean
server that is newly partitioned and free of other operating system
attributes. If the server contains existing operating system attributes, or if it
contains partitions left over from a previous operating system installation,
then you must manually configure the server with the correct IIS
permissions for proper Symposium Web Client functionality.
ATTENTION!
Consult Microsoft for the latest information
Client Access Licensing. Nortel does not accept
any liability for end-user compliance with
Microsoft licensing agreements. This
information has been provided for your
convenience.
Client PCs running on Windows 2000 or
Windows XP require a Windows 2000 Server
Client Access License only; they do not require
a separate Terminal Services Client Access
License.
If the application server is running Windows
Server 2003, then you have the option of
purchasing either one Windows Server 2003
Client Access License (CAL) per user (user
CAL) who accesses the application server, or
per client PC (device CAL) that accesses the
application server. Choose the type of CAL that
best suits your organization.
Nortel does not provide these Client Access
Licenses.
If the client PC is accessing only Script
Variables or Application Thresholds, then these
licenses are not required.
Because Windows 2000 domain controllers do not have the additional Windows
Server 2003 security policies, when the application server is running Windows
Server 2003 and you add the server to a Windows 2000 domain controller, you
can only apply the Windows 2000 group security policies that are common to
Windows Server 2003. All new Windows Server 2003 security policies that are
not available in the Windows 2000 domain controller must be controlled by the
Windows Server 2003 local security policy.
If the application server is running Windows Server 2003 and you add the server
to a Windows Server 2003 domain controller, then you can define the security
policies in the Organizational Unit (OU) of the application server and combine
this with the local server security policies for an effective security setting.
You may need to adjust your group policies for Symposium Web Client or
exclude the application server from a specific group policy if conflicts are
identified. For more information about group policies and Symposium Web
Client, see the Nortel Symposium Call Center Web Client 4.5 Security Guide for
Windows Server 2003. This guide is available to distributors and channel
partners who have access to the Partner Information Center web site
(www.nortel.com/pic).
ATTENTION!
When you install Symposium Web Client, the Web Client
setup wizard creates a local Windows user called
iceAdmin, and assigns full administrative access rights to
this user. During the Symposium Web Client installation,
the setup wizard prompts you to specify the password for
this user. You can change this password after the
installation, but you cannot delete the local iceAdmin user
account in Windows Server 2003. If you delete this user
account, then you will not be able to log on to Symposium
Web Client either as webadmin or as any other user.
This procedure assumes that you have installed Windows Server 2003 on an
application server that had previous operating system attributes or partitions
on it.
Follow the procedures in this section to manually configure the server. The
procedures can be broken down into two main steps, as follows:
1. After you install Windows Server 2003, verify that the default Windows
groups and permissions exist on all system drives.
2. If the default groups and permissions do not exist, add and remove groups
as necessary, and grant all groups the default permissions.
When you install Windows Server 2003 on a computer that contains Windows
2000 Server attributes or partitions, you must ensure that the server contains
these default groups with the default permissions listed in this procedure. If the
drives contain any additional groups (for example, the Everyone group), then
you must remove them.
1 Log on to the application server with administrator privileges.
2 On the application server, in Windows Explorer, navigate to drive C:, right-
click it, and then select Properties from the resulting menu.
Result: The Local Disk <drive letter> Properties window appears.
3 Click the Security tab.
4 In the Group or usernames box, ensure that the Administrators group
appears with the following permissions selected in the Allow column at the
bottom of the window:
Full Control
Modify
Read & Execute
List Folder Contents
Read
Write
If the permissions are different than these, add or remove check marks in
the Allow column until they match these permissions, and then click OK to
save your changes.
Note: If the Administrators group is not listed, then you must add it on this
drive with the permissions listed above. For details, see “To add the
required groups to all system drives,” on page 630.
5 Click Apply to save your changes.
6 In the Group or usernames box, ensure that the Creator Owner group
appears with no permissions selected in the Allow column at the bottom of
the window.
Note: By default, there is a check mark beside Special Permissions.
However, this permission is read-only and cannot be changed.
7 Click Apply to save your changes.
8 In the Group or usernames box, ensure that the System group appears
with the following permissions selected in the Allow column at the bottom
of the window:
Full Control
Modify
Read & Execute
List Folder Contents
Read
Write
If the permissions are different than these, add or remove check marks in
the Allow column until they match these permissions, and then click OK to
save your changes.
Note: If the System group is not listed, then you must add it on this drive
with the permissions listed above. For details, see “To add the required
groups to all system drives,” on page 630.
9 Click Apply to save your changes.
10 In the Group or usernames box, ensure that the Users group appears with
the following permissions selected in the Allow column at the bottom of the
window:
Read & Execute
List Folder Contents
Read
If the permissions are different than these, add or remove check marks in
the Allow column until they match these permissions, and then click OK to
save your changes.
Note: If the Users group is not listed, then you must add it on this drive with
the permissions listed above. For details, see “To add the required groups
to all system drives,” on page 630.
11 If any other groups appear in this window (for example, the Everyone
group), highlight the group, and then click Remove.
12 Click Advanced.
Result: The Advanced Security Settings for Local Disk <drive letter>
window appears.
7 Click OK.
Result: The user account appears in the Local Disk <drive letter>
Properties window.
8 Follow the steps in the procedure “To verify the groups and permissions on
all system drives,” on page 627 to grant the group the proper permissions.
9 Repeat steps 4 to 8 until you have added all the required groups.
To help create such a process, you can follow a series of best practices
guidelines, as documented in the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) Special Bulletin 800-40, Procedures for Handling Security Patches. This
bulletin suggests that if an organization does not have a centralized group to
coordinate the storage, evaluation, and chronicling of security patches into a
library, then system administrators or the contact center administrator must
fulfill this role.
Note: If Symposium Web Client does not function properly after you apply a
Microsoft security patch, then you must remove the patch and revert to the
previous version of Symposium Web Client (from the backup you made before
applying the patch). For added security, always check to see if Nortel has already
verified the Microsoft patch for its compatibility with Symposium Web Client
by going to the Symposium Web Client section of the Partner Information
Center (PIC) web site at www.nortel.com/pic. On this page, under the Tools
section heading, click the link for the Symposium Service Packs and Security
Hotfixes Compatibility List.
Note: If you require any other third-party software (such as third-party backup
utilities or antivirus software), you must install it after you install Symposium
Web Client.
After you install Sybase Open Client version 12.5, you must update the Sybase
Open Client driver. For details, see “To upgrade the Sybase 12.5 ODBC driver”
on page 636.
Note: If you have Sybase version 12.0 installed on the application server, then
you can perform an upgrade to Sybase version 12.5 using the following
procedure. If you have a version of Sybase earlier than 12.0 installed on the
application server, then you must uninstall it before you install version 12.5. For
information about uninstalling the software, see the documentation posted on the
Sybase web site at www.sybase.com.
1 On the server, click Start > Control Panel > System.
Result: The System Properties window appears.
2 Click the Advanced tab.
3 Click Environment Variables.
Result: The Environment Variables window appears.
4 Within the System variables section, locate the Sybase software entries.
For example, if Sybase Open Client version 12.0 is installed on the server, it
says SYBASE_OCS: OCS_12_0, and for Sybase Open Client version 12.5,
it says SYBASE_OCS: OCS_12_5.
Symposium Web Client only functions with Sybase Open Client 12.5. If the
application server already has a version of Sybase installed that is newer than
version 12.5, then you must uninstall it completely before installing version
12.5.
1 Insert the Symposium Call Center Web Client CD in the CD-ROM drive.
2 Click Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
Result: The Add or Remove Programs window appears.
4 Click CD or Floppy to indicate that you want to install Sybase Open Client

8 Click Next.
Result: The Sybase Installer window appears, followed by the Installation
Type window.
9 Click Standard Install, and then click Next.
Result: The Choose Directory window appears.
10 If you are installing the software for the first time, type a custom location in
which to install the software, or accept the default location shown. Nortel
recommends that when you are upgrading from Sybase 12.0, you type the
same folder in which the Sybase software is currently installed. For
example, if the software is installed on drive E: in a folder called Sybase,
then you type E:\Sybase. However, if you do not know this location, then
you can type a custom location in which to install the software, or accept
the default location shown (C:\SYBASE).
ATTENTION!
When choosing a custom location in which to install
the Sybase software, do not choose a directory name
that contains a space. For example, do not choose
D:\Program Files\Sybase because the Sybase
installation program cannot process the space in
“Program Files.”
11 Click Next.
Result: The Summary window appears, displaying the components being
installed.
12 Click Next.
Result: The Create Directory window appears, prompting you to confirm
the name of the directory to which the files will be copied.
13 Click Yes.
Result: The Installing window appears, displaying a status bar while the
system installs the program. If you are upgrading to Sybase version 12.5,
the system asks if you want to overwrite the following existing Sybase .DLL
files. Click Yes when prompted to replace/reinstall these Sybase files:
replace mchelp.dll version 12.0 with version 12.5.0.0
replace mclib.dll version 12.0 with version 12.5.0.0
replace Language Modules version 12.0 with version 12.5
reinstall Component Sybase Central 3.2.0
If the system prompts you to replace the following optional file, you can click
either Yes or No. Since the file is optional, your choice does not affect the
Sybase installation:
replace Power Dynamo version 3.0.0 with version 3.5.2
If the system prompts you to replace any other DLLs, including system
DLLs, such as msvcrt40.dll version 4.20, click No. Do not replace any
system DLLs.
Note: If a window with the following message appears, click OK:
COMCTL32.DLL - The system does not need this update.
When the installation is complete, the Sybase Installer window appears,
prompting you to restart the system before configuring the installed
components.
14 Click Yes.
Result: It can take several minutes for the dialog box prompting you to
restart to system to appear. Do not attempt to manually restart the system.
When restarting, log on as a user with administrator privileges. After the
system restarts, the Information window appears, confirming the Sybase
installation.
ATTENTION!
Do not remove the Symposium Web Client CD from
the CD-ROM drive during the system restart process.
The installation wizard carries out some final
configuration procedures after the system restarts.
15 Click OK.
16 Close the Control Panel window. Continue with the procedure below, “To
upgrade the Sybase 12.5 ODBC driver.”
Notes:
If you are installing Symposium Web Client on a coresident server with
Symposium Call Center Server, then Sybase Open Client version 12.5 is
already installed and you do not need to install it again, nor do you need
to upgrade the Sybase 12.5 ODBC driver.
For further instructions, see the instructions.txt file, which is located in the
EBF11113 folder on the Symposium Web Client CD-ROM.
If you already have Sybase Open Client 12.5 installed on the application
server and are upgrading Symposium Web Client 4.5 from one build to the
next, then you must still perform this procedure to upgrade the Sybase
Open Client 12.5 ODBC driver before upgrading the Symposium Web
Client software.

In this window, you must type the URL that you use to access Symposium
Web Client on the application server (without the http:// prefix) so that
certain Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) Web Services Description
Language (WSDL) files are installed and function properly. If the
Symposium Web Client default URL is the same as the application server’s
computer name, then you can accept the default value shown, and then
click Next. If, however, the Symposium Web Client default URL is the
application server’s fully qualified host name (for example,
<computername>.<domain name>.com), then you must type this name.
If you are installing Symposium Web Client as a virtual directory on an
existing web site, then you still type either the computer name or the fully
qualified host name as usual; you do not type a value that includes the
virtual directory name.
Note: If you change the computer name after you install Symposium Web
Client on Windows Server 2003, then some SOAP processes will not
function properly (because they still refer to the old computer name), and
you will not be able to work with the components that require SOAP
functionality, such as Configuration. For more information about changing
ATTENTION!
If you are not sure of the Symposium Web Client default
URL, then you can accept the default value shown.
However, if the client PCs that are used to access the

For Symposium Web Client 4.5 (and later) to function correctly, you must install
a software package containing Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
components. You must perform this installation on every client PC that accesses
the application server and that runs any one of the following operating systems:
Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows 2000 Professional,
Windows 2000 Server, or Windows 2000 Advanced Server
Note: Some Internet Explorer versions require the Internet Explorer setting
Automatic prompting for file downloads in the Downloads section also to be set
to Enable for the Trusted Sites zone, to allow the SOAP files download prompt
to be displayed.
Only users who are logged on to the client PC with administrator privileges can
install the software. If users without administrator privileges are logged on to the
client PC, then they have the option of downloading and saving the
ClientSOAP.msi file to the client PC’s hard drive. An administrator can then
install the software later by double-clicking this file. However, note that you
cannot use Symposium Web Client until the client SOAP software is installed.
Note: You only need to perform this installation once on each client PC,
regardless of the number of Symposium Web Client upgrades you install
afterward.
1 On the client PC, open Internet Explorer.
2 In the Address box, type the URL address of the application server. The
default URL address is http://<Application Server>.

Result: The Installing SOAP window appears.
Before attempting to migrate Symposium Web Client data from the source
server to the target server, you must ensure that all domain member servers and
clients are pointing to your Windows 2000 DNS server (that is, your source
server). Therefore, in TCP/IP properties your primary DNS server must be the IP
address of the Windows 2000 DNS server (that is, the IP Address of your source
server).
5 In the Preferred DNS server box, enter the IP Address of the Windows
2000 Server/Advanced Server (source server).
6 Click OK.
7 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
Introduction
Nortel recommends that you perform a full platform migration off-network. This
eliminates the need for obtaining a second IP address for the target server.
The Windows Server 2003 computer (target server) must be a member server of
the Windows 2000 Server/Advanced Server (source server) domain.
To add the target server (Windows 2003) into the source server
domain
1 Click Start > Control Panel > System
Result: The System Properties window opens.
4 In the Computer Name Changes window, you can change the computer’s
name and its domain or workgroup affiliation. To add the server to the
source server domain, click the Domain option button, and then type the
name of the source server domain (you must provide the Fully Qualified
Domain Name of the domain, which includes the prefix and suffix).
5 Click OK.
Result: A window appears asking you for a name and password with
permission to join the domain.
After the Windows Server 2003 (target server) boots to Control-Alt-Delete, you
must log the target server onto the Windows 2000 Server/Advanced Server
(source server) domain.
To log the target server onto the source server domain using
domain Administrator account
1 Press Ctrl-Alt-Del.
2 Click the Options button on the log on screen.
3 Select the Windows 2000 Server/Advanced server domain from the list.
4 Log on to the Windows Server 2003 (target server) using domain
administrator username and password.
This zip file needs to be copied and extracted onto the target server.
Note: In order to extract the files contained within the .zip file, the Winzip
application must be installed on the target server.

Overview
Introduction
This section describes the procedures that you must follow to migrate and
restore your server data from Symposium Web Client 4.5 SU05 (or later) on
Windows 2000 Server/Advanced Server (source server) to Windows Server
2003 (target server).
Prerequisites
The migration procedure requires that you have two servers:
1. the current application server with Windows 2000 Server/Advanced Server
(source server) and Symposium Web Client 4.5 SU05 (or later) installed
2. a second server that has Windows Server 2003 (target server) with
Symposium Web Client 4.5 SU05 (or later) installed
Note: Only data stored in Active Directory on the source server is transferred
during the data migration.
The procedures for migrating data stored in Active Directory are documented in
“Step 15. Prepare the source server for the Active Directory transfer,” on page
689 and “Step 16. Migrate the Active Directory data to the target server,” on
page 691.
These files will be restored from your backup files or reconfigured on the target
server after you complete the migration procedure.
The procedures for restoring data that is not stored in Active Directory are
documented in “Step 17. Update the DNS configuration of the target server,” on
page 697.
Before migrating your data from the source server to the target server, you must
run the ADAM migration tool utility to prepare the source server for the Active
Directory transfer. This utility creates a new attribute in the Active Directory
schema and copies data into this new attribute, enabling all data to be transferred
to Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) on the target server.
Note: You will require the AD to ADAM Data Migration software, to prepare
the source server. Therefore, you must ensure the software has been extracted on
the application server. For details, see “Step 6. Extract the AD Data Migration
zip file onto the source server,” on page 605.
ATTENTION
You must login to the source server using the
Administrator account before your run the ADAM
Migration Tool.msi. If you login to the source server using
another account, or a local administrator account, the
ADAM Migration Tool.msi will not function correctly and
the migration will not succeed.
3 From the source server, run the file called ADAM Migration Tool.msi.
Result: The ADAM Migration Tool window appears.
4 Click Next.
Result: The system configures Active Directory.
Note: Before you perform this procedure, you must know the following
information:
The name of the Windows 2000 Server/Advanced Server (source server)
domain to which the source server belongs
The administrator password for the Windows 2000 Server/Advanced
Server (source server)
3 Click Next.
Result: A message window appears checking that you have executed the
ADAM Migration Tool on the source server. This procedure is detailed in
“To execute the ADAM migration tool on the source server,” on page 689
and must be completed before you proceed to Step 4.
4 Click Yes.
Result: The ADAM Migration Tool - Install Shield Wizard window appears.
5 In the Enter the domain name of the Win 2000 Server text box, type the
name of the domain of the Windows 2000/Advanced Server (source server)
of which the Windows Server 2003 (target server) is now a member.
ATTENTION
Ensure the domain name is entered correctly otherwise
the data will not transfer successfully.
When adding the domain name, you must use the
domain name and not the netbios name (that is, do not
append a “0” at the end of the domain name). You must
also include the extension. For example, .com.
6 Accept the default port numbers shown for LDAP and SSL, or type new
values if your administrator instructs you to do so. If you change these
default values, they must be unique within your organization.
7 Click Yes to create a log file during the file transfer. The log file stores
information about the transfer, such as the data transferred and any errors
that occurred during the migration.
Result: A box appears, prompting you to type the name of the log file.
8 Enter the name of your log file.
Tip: When entering the name of your log file, do not include a directory
path, as the log file is automatically created in the folder:
C:/Program Files/Nortel Networks/WClient/Nortel_Log
(Where C is the drive on which you installed the Symposium Web
Client software.)
Note: You must ensure that you have sufficient space to store this file, as it
can be quite large, depending on the amount of data you are transferring.
You cannot choose the storage location of this file.
9 Click Next.
Result: The Ready to Install the Program window appears.
10 Click Install to start the synchronization of Active Directory data (on the
source server) with Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) data (on the
target server).
Result: The system begins the migration. A window appears, asking you to
confirm that Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) is to be removed
from the Windows Server 2003 (target server).
11 Click Yes.
Result: Once Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) is removed,
another window appears.
12 Click OK.
Result: The system then reinstalls Active Directory Application Mode
(ADAM) with new settings that enable the synchronization process to take
place. When it is finished, a new window appears, asking you to type a
password at the command prompt.
13 At the prompt, type the Administrator password for the Windows 2000
Server/Advanced Server (source server), and press Enter.
Note: The amount of time it takes for the Completed window to appear from
the moment when you type the Administrator password varies. The
following criteria influence the speed of the data transfer from the Active
Directory on the source server to the ADAM on the target server:
The speed of the source and target computers used
The speed of the network that the computers are on
The amount of Symposium Web Client data that has to be transferred
from the Active Directory on the source server to Active Directory
Application Mode (ADAM) on the target server. The more data you have,
the more time it takes to perform the transfer.
14 Click Finish to complete the transfer process.
15 Before continuing with the rest of the migration process, perform a quick
test to ensure the data was transferred properly. On the Windows Server
2003 (target server), launch Internet Explorer.
16 In the Address box, type the URL or IP address of the Windows Server
2003 (target server). The default URL address is http://<Application Server
name>.
Result: The system displays the main logon window of Symposium Web
Client.
17 In the username and Password boxes, log on to the server using the
webadmin username and password, or any other username/password
combination that you know was stored on the Windows 2000 Server/
Advanced Server (source server).
18 Click Login.
Result: If you can log on and verify that any servers which were configured
on the Windows 2000 Server/Advanced Server (source server) are now
visible on the Windows Server 2003 (target server), then the data transfer
was successful.
Note: Do not perform more in-depth tests of the data transfer until you
restore the non-Active Directory files from the source server to the target
server. For details, see “Step 17. Update the DNS configuration of the
target server,” on page 697.
Introduction
After all data has been successfully transferred from the Windows 2000 Server/
Advanced Server (source server) to the Windows Server 2003 (target server), the
target server no longer needs to be configured as a member of the source server
domain.
6 In the Preferred DNS server box, enter the IP address of the DNS server
on your network. Your network administrator will be able to provide you with
this information.
7 Click OK.
8 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
4 In the Computer Name Changes window, you can change the computer’s
name and its domain or workgroup affiliation. To add the server to an
existing domain, click the Domain option button, and then type the name of
the domain (you must provide the Fully Qualified Domain Name of the
domain, which includes the prefix and suffix).
5 Click OK.
Result: A window appears asking you for a name and password with
permission to join the domain.
What’s next?
If the computer name or IP address are not going to be changed, then you can
proceed directly to “Step 22. Reconnect to the customer LAN,” on page 714.
If the computer name or IP address are not going to be changed, then you can
proceed directly to “Step 22. Reconnect to the customer LAN,” on page 714.

15 Click OK to save your changes.
If the computer name or IP address are not going to be changed, then you can
proceed directly to “Step 22. Reconnect to the customer LAN,” on page 714.
After you change the computer name, some SOAP processes will not function
properly (because they still refer to the old computer name). On a stand-alone
application server, an administrator or support technician must run the
Symposium Web Client ChangeSOAPSrv utility to reset the SOAP files to
reflect the new computer name.
If the computer name or IP address are not going to be changed, then you can
proceed directly to “Step 22. Reconnect to the customer LAN,” on page 714.
If you change the computer name, you must reset the iceAdmin password for
Symposium Web Client to function properly.
6 In the Confirm Password box, type the password again, and then click OK.
Result: The system ensures that you typed the same password both times,
and then resets the password in all required components.
If the computer name or IP address are not going to be changed, then you can
proceed directly to “Step 22. Reconnect to the customer LAN,” on page 714.
Note: To prevent IP conflict, you must disconnect the target server from the hub
or crossover cable before changing the IP address on the target server.
6 In Use the following IP address, enter the IP address of the target server.
Note: You can use the same IP address as the source server if you choose.
7 Click OK.
8 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
Introduction
Perform this procedure to restore the files that you had backed up from the
source server to the Windows Server 2003 (target server).
Prerequisites
Before you perform this procedure, you must ensure that the target server has the
following software installed and configured correctly:
Windows Server 2003
all required third-party software such as Microsoft Active Directory
Application Mode (ADAM), Sybase Open Client, pcAnywhere (if it is
installed on the source server)
Symposium Web Client 4.5 SU05 (or later)
For details about installing and configuring Symposium Web Client
Release 4.5 SU05, see “Step 9. Install SWC 4.5 SU05 (or later) on the
target server” on page 615.
You must ensure that the location where you backed up the Symposium Web
Client migration files (see “Step 5. Back up migration data on the source server”
on page 601) is accessible from the Symposium Web Client 2003 installation on
the target server.
If the backup of the data files stored outside of Active Directory on the Windows
2000 Server/Advanced Server (source Server) was performed using Windows
Backup tool, then follow the procedure “To restore the non-Active Directory
files from the source server to the target server using the Windows Backup
Tool,” on page 716.
To restore the non-Active Directory files from the source server to the
target server using the Windows Backup Tool
Use this procedure to restore the files that you backed up from the Windows
2000 Server/Advanced Server (source server) to the Windows Server 2003
(target server).
ATTENTION
You can use Backup to back up and restore data on either File
Allocation Table (FAT) or NT File System (NTFS) volumes.
However, if you have backed up data from an NTFS volume
used in Windows 2000, Nortel recommends that you restore
the data to an NTFS volume, or you may lose data as well as
some file and folder features.
1 To start the backup, click Start > Programs > Accessories >System
Tools > Backup.
Note: If you are restoring data from a tape, update the on-disk catalog for
the tape before you perform the restore operation.
2 Click the Restore tab.
3 In the Restore tab, in Click to select the check box for any drive, folder,
or file that you want to restore, select the following files and folders to
restore (where C is the drive on which Symposium Web Client is installed):
C:\Program Files\Nortel Networks\WClient\Apps\Reporting\Historical\data
C:\Program Files \Nortel Networks\WClient\Apps\Reporting\Historical\rpt
C:\Program Files\Nortel Networks\WClient\Apps\Common\Icedb
C:\Program Files\Nortel Networks\WClient\Apps\AccessMgmt\AccessXML
In addition to the files listed above, you must also back up any files that you
have saved on the application server for Symposium Web Client
operations, such as:
In this section
Step 24. Configure Real-Time Reporting on the target server 720
Step 25. Configure Emergency Help on the target server 726
Step 26. Configure Agent Desktop Display 4.5 parameters on the server 728
Step 27. Recreate filtersets containing routes on the target server 731
Step 28. Test your migrated software 732
Introduction
For the Real-Time Reporting component of Symposium Web Client to function
properly, you must configure two different IP multicast addresses on the target
server:
The receiving IP multicast address of the Symposium Web Client
application
This is the address Symposium Web Client uses to receive multicast data
from Symposium Call Center Server; it is the same as the IP multicast
address on Symposium Call Center Server.
The sending IP multicast address of the Symposium Web Client application
This is the address Symposium Web Client uses to send multicast data.
The sending and receiving IP multicast addresses of the Symposium Web Client
application must be different. The application server constantly monitors its
receiving IP multicast address and directs data as soon as it is available to its
sending IP multicast address.
The IP multicast address that the server in Symposium Call Center Server uses
to send data must be configured on Symposium Call Center Server. This address
is listed in the IP Multicast Group box. For details, see the Nortel Symposium
Call Center Server Installation and Maintenance Guide.
2 Click the RTR Registry Settings icon in the right pane of the console
window.
Result: The RTR Properties window appears.
ATTENTION!
If the server in Symposium Call Center Server is part of a
networked contact center, all servers in Symposium Call
Center Server within the network must have the same
multicast IP address. The IP Receive address for
Symposium Web Client must match the common
multicast IP addresses of the servers in Symposium Call
Center Server (the address the servers use to send
multicast data).
4 Accept the default values in the Output Rate box (5000) and the
Transform Rate box (1000). You can adjust the default values; however,
reducing the Output Rate value and the Transform Rate value increases the
workload on the application server.
Note: The fastest rate at which multicast data from Symposium Call Center
Server reaches the end user in Symposium Web Client is equal to the
highest value among the following settings:
The Multicast Rate at which data is sent from Symposium Call Center
Server to the Symposium Web Client application server
The Output Rate at which the application server outputs data to client
PCs
The Transform Rate at which the application server processes data
Example: If the Symposium Call Center Server Multicast Rate is set to 2
seconds, the application server Transform Rate is set to 1 second and the
application server Output Rate is 7 seconds, then the data on the client PC
will not refresh faster than every 7 seconds, regardless of the refresh rate
that the user has chosen in Real-Time Reporting. If you want to decrease
the length of time required for real-time statistics to reach client PCs, you
can decrease the Output Rate and Transform Rate values; however, this
impacts performance on the application server. Notify users of the Real-
Time Reporting component of these rates so they can adjust the refresh
rate accordingly. For more information about adjusting rates and assessing
performance, see the Nortel Symposium Call Center Server CapTool
User's Guide.
5 Increase the value in the OAM Timeout box to 50 000.
6 In the Transmission Options area, click the button beside the
transmission mode that is required for the site. Choose one of the following:
Multicast only if your network supports multicast traffic
(recommended), and proceed directly to step 9
Unicast only if you do not want any multicast traffic on your network
ATTENTION
You may need to increase the OAM Timeout value if the
following situations occur:
You cannot see any partition elements in the right
pane when creating or viewing a partition in Access
and Partition Management. This can occur when there
is a large amount of data stored on Contact Center
Manager Server and the network is slow.
Your contact center has a large numbers of agents or
skillsets. In this case, it may not be possible to return a
large list of agents or skillsets when viewing a report
using the Historical Reporting component.
If you increase the OAM Timeout value, this provides
more time for the partition elements to be collected on a
per-server basis. Nortel recommends that you increase
this value in increments of 10 000 (milliseconds).
4 In the IP Send Address box, type the IP address to which the Symposium
Web Client application server sends Emergency Help information. This IP
Send address can be the same as or different from the IP address that the
2 Confirm that the address in the IP multicast address box is the application
server’s IP send address that you configured in the RTR Configuration Tool.
3 In the Refresh rate (seconds) box, type the rate in seconds at which you
want the real-time data in the displays to be refreshed.
Note: The minimum value that you can type in this field is 2 seconds. If you
do not type a value in this box, the system uses the default value of 5
seconds.
4 In the Max agents box, type the maximum number of agents who can
simultaneously log on to the Symposium Agent Desktop Displays
component and view the real-time statistics.
Note: When the number of agents who have logged on to the application
reaches this number, any additional agents who try to log on will receive a
message informing them to try again later. If you do not type a value in this
box, the system uses the default value of 1000 agents. The maximum value
that you can type in this box is 3000 agents. For information about
performance and sizing requirements for Symposium Web Client, see the
Symposium Call Center Server Planning and Engineering Guide.
5 In the View mode list, select the mode in which you want to view the data
that has been collected:
Moving window: In moving window mode, statistics shown represent
the last 10 minutes of system activity.
Interval-to-date: In interval-to-date mode, statistics are collected only
for the current interval. When the interval is over, data fields reset to 0
and collection begins for the next interval. The interval can correspond
to a work shift or to another system-defined period.
6 In the Statistics Configuration table, choose the statistics that you want to
appear in the Agent Desktop Displays. You can add statistics columns to
the displays, or remove columns that you no longer want to show.
7 Click the check box in the Show column if you want to add the statistics
column to the displays.
8 Arrange the order in which the statistics columns will appear by using the
column order buttons. Select the statistic that you want to move, and then
click the up or down button to change its position.
Note: The statistic that you place at the top of the Statistics Configuration
table appears in the first column of the display.
9 Select the three threshold colors for the selected statistic from the
Threshold display colors lists. Select the statistic and use colors to identify
whether the value of the statistic shown in the display is less than the low
value, between the low and high value, or greater than the high value.
Note: If you have not set the threshold levels in the Configuration
component of Web Client or in Symposium Call Center Server, the values
appear in white in the Symposium Agent Desktop Displays.
10 Click the Blink check box if you want the selected statistic to blink in the
Agent Desktop Display when its value reaches the threshold.
11 Click the Beep check box if you want the Agent Desktop Display to beep
when its value reaches the threshold.
12 Click Once to indicate that a beep should occur only once, or click
Continuously to indicate that a beep should occur continuously until the
statistic reaches an acceptable value.
13 Click Save.
After you have restored the files from the original Windows 2000 Server/
Advanced Server (source server) to the Windows Server 2003 (target server),
test the migration of the data by connecting to the target server and using
Symposium Web Client. Compare the data that is shown on this target server
with the source server over a period of time (for example, one week). Confirm
also that all non-Active Directory data (such as Historical Reporting templates)
has been restored to the Windows Server 2003 (target server).
What’s next?
You are now ready to perform a direct upgrade from Symposium Web Client 4.5
on Windows 2003 to Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0 on the target
server. For details, see Chapter 9, “Upgrading from SWC 4.5 (Windows 2003) to
CCMA 6.0 on same server”.

Qty Description ✔
Use the Contact Center Manager installation DVD to install one or all of the
following:
the Contact Center Manager Administration software
Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded software
pcAnywhere 11.5 Host-Only software
required hotfixes
Introduction
Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0 is compatible with Symposium Call
Center Server Release 5.0 SUS0504 (or later), and Contact Center Manager
Server 6.0 (or later). Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0 is
incompatible with previous releases of Symposium Call Center Server.
Backward compatibility
You can use Contact Center Manager Administration to administer Symposium
Call Center Server 5.0 SUS0504 (or later) in your network, but you cannot use
Symposium Web Client 4.5 to administer Contact Center Manager Server 6.0.
To administer Contact Center Manager Server 6.0, you must upgrade the
Contact Center Manager Administration server to Release 6.0 of Contact Center
Manager Administration.
Introduction
Before performing any significant upgrade of the Symposium Web Client
server, Nortel recommends that you make a complete backup of the entire
Symposium Web Client server including Active Directory, by using the
Microsoft Windows backup method or a proven third-party backup tool of
your choice. A full backup of the source server allows regression of the
source server back to its original state, if required.
During the backup procedure, you must ensure that no data is changed between
the back up of Active Directory and the data files. Therefore, Nortel
recommends that you perform backups during periods of low activity.
For details about creating full backups of the Symposium Web Client server,
refer to Microsoft documentation or the documentation of the third-party backup
tool of your choice.
CAUTION
You can use Backup to back up and restore data on either File
Allocation Table (FAT) or NT File System (NTFS) volumes.
However, if you have backed up data from an NTFS volume used
in Windows 2000, Nortel recommends that you restore the data to
an NTFS volume, or you may lose data as well as some file and
folder features.
Introduction
After you perform a full backup of the Symposium Web Client server, create a
backup of the individual Nortel data files that are stored outside of Active
Directory on the source server. Nortel recommends that you back up the
individual Nortel files in addition to performing a full backup of the Symposium
Web Client server as this will create a more manageable backup file containing
only the data files which you can use to restore Symposium Web Client data
files, if required.
The data files that Nortel recommends you back up before performing an
upgrade include the following:
Historical report data
Real-time display snapshots
Emergency Help snapshots
Schedule data
the directories where you have stored the following types of files (if the
directories are not the default folders specified in step 3b):
Historical report output files
Custom report templates
Real-time display snapshots
Emergency Help snapshots
Note: Real-time display snapshots are stored as HTML files in the following
default path:
C:\Program Files\Nortel Networks\WClient\Apps\Reporting\Real-
time\Exports
(where C is the drive on which you installed Symposium Web Client).
Note: Emergency Help snapshots are stored as HTML files in the following
default path:
C:\Program Files\Nortel
Networks\WClient\Apps\EmergencyHelp\Exports
(where C is the drive on which you installed Symposium Web Client).
4 Click Next Step.
5 In the Select a destination for the backup window, select the destination
for the backup.
Note: If you have a supported tape backup drive that is detected by
Backup, it appears at the bottom of the Select a destination for the backup
window. If you do not have a tape drive, or your tape drive is not supported
or detected, you can select a floppy disk drive or a location on your hard
disk.
If you want to back up your files to a network drive, you must map a drive
letter to the network destination to which you want to back up your files. If
you have mapped a drive letter to a network drive, Backup displays it in the
Select a destination for the backup window.
6 Click Start Backup.
Note: If you have created a new backup set, you are prompted to name the
new backup set.
Result: Backup informs you when the backup operation is finished.
In addition to the files listed above, you must also back up any files that you
have saved on the application server for Symposium Web Client operations,
such as:
custom report templates
Historical Reporting output files
snapshots of real-time displays
snapshots of Emergency Help panels
If you use Veritas to back up Symposium Web Client data, you must note the
following:
The default installation of Veritas Backup Exec uses the TCP port 10000,
which is also the default port used by the Symposium Web Client Toolkit
NameService. This conflict results in Symposium Web Client
malfunctioning (administrative changes, such as agent and skillset name
changes, are not updated in real time, requiring you to restart the
ICERTDService to refresh the cache).
To avoid this conflict, before you use Veritas, you must change the default
port that it uses to another port number of your choice (the Symposium
Web Client Toolkit NameService port number cannot be changed at this
time). When changing the port number, you must first investigate the ports
that are currently being used by all the products in your network (both
Nortel and third-party products). Then, choose a port that does not cause a
conflict between any of these products. For instructions on changing the
Veritas Backup Exec default port number, see the Veritas support article
located at www.seer.support.veritas.com
To avoid potential problems with Veritas Backup Exec 9.1, check
www.seer.support.veritas.com for recommended service packs and consult
www.nortel.com for the latest supported Veritas hotfix and/or service pack
with Contact Center Manager Administration.
Ensure that your version of the Veritas software supports the backup and
restore of the Windows Server 2003 ADAM data files. Nortel has tested
build 4691 of the Backup Exec software.
Ensure that your version of Backup Exec has the Microsoft Volume
Shadow Copy Service installed.
To back up the Symposium Web Client ADAM information with the
Veritas Backup Exec tool, select the following:
Shadow Copy Components > User Data > Active Directory Application
Mode > C:\Program Files\Microsoft ADAM\instance1\data
where C:\Program Files\Microsoft ADAM\instance1\data is the
instance used by Symposium Web Client data.
You must also back up all other directories detailed in the section
“Option 1: To back up data stored outside of Active Directory by using
the Windows Backup Tool” on page 758.
For more detailed information, consult the online Help on the Veritas web site at
www.veritas.com.
Note: Nortel Networks has also tested the Veritas Backup Exec 9.0 tool, which
can be used instead of the Microsoft Windows Backup Tool to back up the
Symposium Web Client data. There are several other third-party tools that can
perform a similar function; choose the tool that best suits your organization.
When using the Veritas Backup Exec 9.0 tool to back up Symposium Web
Client data files, you must first stop the SymposiumWC service. Failure to do so
results in errors in the Veritas backup, in which case you will not be able to use
the backup to restore Symposium Web Client data. When the backup is
complete, restart the SymposiumWC service.
Introduction
This is an optional step. Symposium Web Client 4.5 required Terminal Services
for Scripting. Because Scripting is a fully integrated web-based client in Contact
Center Manager Administration 6.0, you have the option of removing Terminal
Services before performing your upgrade to Contact Center Manager
Administration 6.0.
However, you may have third-party products on your application server which
require Terminal Services. In this case, you can keep Terminal Services on the
application server and this will not affect the performance of Contact Center
Manager Administration 6.0.
If you do not want to remove Terminal Services from the application server, you
can proceed directly to “Step 8. Get documentation for the XML Automated
Assignments feature” on page 765.
If you are not upgrading this feature, then you can skip to “Step 9. Install the
Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded software” on page 766.
If you are upgrading the XML Automated Assignments feature, ensure that you
have the Contact Center - Manager Administrator’s Guide on hand for
instructions for using this feature. You can also consult other associated
documentation and engineering/development support resources for the XML
Automated Assignments feature, which are provided only through the Nortel
Developer Program. For information about obtaining the XML Automated
Assignment toolkit, contact a member of the Developer Program through the
Contact Us link on the web site at www.nortel.com/developer.
Note: If you have already installed this software on the server, you can skip this
step and proceed to Section B: “Upgrading the product software,” on page 775.

Windows 2000 to Windows 2003.”
Notes:
You must be logged on to the Contact Center Manager Administration
server as an administrator or as a user with administrator privileges before
you can perform the following procedure.
If Symposium Web Client or Contact Center Manager Administration is
replicating ADAM with another server, the ADAM replication service must
be stopped on each replicating server until the upgrade is complete.
13 Click Finish.
Result: The Map Network Drive window closes and your mapped drive
appears in the system tree.
Before performing this procedure, you must ensure the following tasks have
been completed:
You must map your drive to the source location of the product software. If
you have not mapped your drive to the source location of the product
software, see “To map drives to the source location of the product
software,” on page 777.
If Symposium Web Client or Contact Center Manager Administration is
replicating ADAM with another server, the ADAM replication service must
be stopped on each replicating server until the upgrade is complete. For
details about stopping replication, see “To stop replication on replicating
servers” on page 776.
Note:
Any patches installed will be automatically removed by the installation
prior to the upgrade taking place.

Password Change window appears, prompting you to type a custom
password for the iceAdmin user account. This user has full administrative
privileges and is required for proper Contact Center Manager
Administration functionality.
Note: This window appears every time you install or upgrade Contact
Center Manager Administration. While you must type a password each
time, it does not have to be a new password; you can type the same
password each time.
10 In the Old Password text box, type the old password for this account.
Notes:
If you have forgotten or misplaced the old password, then you must
manually reset it before you can continue installing Contact Center
15 Click Yes.
Introduction
This step includes procedures for downloading and applying the latest Service
Update and Service Update Supplements for Contact Center Manager
Administration from www.nortel.com/espl.
For further details about downloading and applying Service Updates, Service
Update Supplements, and Designer Patches, see Chapter 13, “Applying Service
Updates, Service Update Supplements, and Designer Patches”.
Note: The numbers of the Service Updates, Service Update Supplements, and
Designer Patches shown in the previous bullets are listed as examples only.
For example, if SU01, SUS0101, SUS0102 are released, SU02 contains SU01,
SUS0101, SUS0102 in the SU02 release.
Note: Designer Patches (DP) address critical issues for specific customers. A
DP is usually posted to a secure location and installed on the recommendation of
a Nortel support technician.
Notes:
You must be logged on to the Contact Center Manager Administration
server as an administrator or as a user with administrator privileges before
you can perform the following procedure.
Before installing the Service Update or Service Update Supplement, Nortel
recommends that you verify the patch level currently installed on the server
by launching the Patch Viewer utility. On the server, click Start > All
Programs > Nortel Contact Center > Manager Administration > Patch
Viewer. You cannot install a patch that is older than an update that is
already installed. Likewise, you cannot install a Service Update
Supplement unless the applicable Service Update is installed.
To download and apply the latest Service Update, you must have a program
installed that can open and extract files with the .zip extension (for
example, WinZip).
7 Click Yes to read the file, or No to proceed directly with the installation.
Notes:
The readme file can contain important information about the update that
you are installing, such as a list of dependent patches, any pre- or
postinstallation tasks that you may have to perform, or the need to stop
any services manually. Nortel recommends that you read the file before
installing the patch.
If you are attempting to install an older version of a Service Update or
Service Update Supplement than that which is currently installed on the
server, the installation is halted and a notification window appears. Click
Cancel to exit the installation. If you require the older Service Update,
then you must manually uninstall the newer patch, and then run the
installation for the older patch again. For details on uninstalling patches,
see “Uninstalling an SU, SUS, or DP,” on page 1584.
8 Click Next.
Result: The Ready to Install window appears.

If you are installing a new Service Update on a server that contains an
existing Service Update and perhaps some Service Update
Supplements, the system removes these patches before installing the
new one. The Installed patches found window appears, listing the
current installed patches.
Click Next to remove the patches. When the system has finished
removing the patches, the installation of the new patch proceeds. See
step 9.
The Files in Use window appears if you have files open that the
installation program needs to update. You must close the files shown in
the window, and then click Retry to continue with the upgrade.
9 Click Install.
Result: The Installing window appears, showing you the progress of the

Introduction
After you have installed Contact Center Manager Administration, you have the
option of adding your Contact Center Manager Administration server to an
existing Windows domain.
If you have already added your Contact Center Manager Administration server
to an existing domain or if you do not want to add your server to an existing
domain, you can skip this step and proceed directly to “Step 14. Add ASP.NET
applications to IIS” on page 800.
You must add the server to an existing domain in the following scenarios:
If you are installing a replicating server, the replicating server must be
added to the domain of the primary server.
If you are installing a coresident server that includes a Communication
Control Toolkit server, there are some specific scenarios that require the
Contact Center Manager Administration server to be added to an existing
domain. For further information, refer to the Communication Control
Toolkit Installation and Maintenance Guide.
For detailed information about the considerations for placing your Contact
Center Manager Administration in workgroups or domains, refer to Chapter 17,

Introduction
This step documents procedures for the following tasks:
1. Creating a shared folder for exporting scheduled reports
This task is required if you want to create a shared folder on the Contact
Center Manager Administration server or the client PC so that multiple
users can access scheduled reports from the same folder.
2. Configuring a shared network folder for synchronizing reports
This task is required if you want to synchronize imported reports to
automatically update with changes to the original reports on the network
computer.
Option 1: You can create a shared folder on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server for exporting scheduled reports.
Option 2: You can create a shared folder on the client PC for exporting
scheduled reports.
Note: Granting change and read permissions to the scheduled report account
(that is iceAdmin or domain account) only provides a higher level of security.
However, granting change and read permissions to the Everyone group provides
more flexibility because Contact Center Manager Administration users can
download exported report output files from the shared folder without special
permissions. Choose the option that is most appropriate for the security policy of
your organization.
1. To create a shared target folder with change and read permissions to the
scheduled report account (that is, iceAdmin or domain account), follow the
steps below:
Create a folder on the Contact Center Manager Administration server
that will store the exported scheduled report file from scheduled reports.
Grant change/read permissions to the scheduled report account (that is,
iceAdmin or domain account) on the folder
2. To create a shared folder with change and read permissions to Everyone
account on the Contact Center Manager Administration server, follow these
steps:
Create a folder on the Contact Center Manager Administration server
that will store the exported scheduled report file from scheduled reports.
Right-click on the target folder and grant change/read permissions to
Everyone.
For example, to export scheduled report files to the Contact Center Manager
Administration server, in the Output box on the Report Properties window, type
the path to the shared folder where the report will be sent. The path must have
the format \\<Contact Center Manager Administration server name>\<shared
folder name>\<file name>, without the file extension. That is, if the Contact
Center Manager Administration server computer name is appsrvr, the shared
folder name is reports, and you decide to call the report agent, you type
\\appsrvr\reports\agent in the Output box.
Note: Scheduled reports use the local administrator account named iceAdmin or
the domain account set up by the administrator in the iceAdmin Password
Change Utility to run, print and export the scheduled report.
The reports are exported locally to the shared folder on the Contact Center
Manager Administration server. Contact Center Manager Administration users
require read permission on the Contact Center Manager Administration's shared
folder to copy the exported report files to their desktops/client PCs.
To enable users to access the saved report file, you must grant each user
read/delete access rights to this folder on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server (or alternately, create separate shared folders with read/
delete access for each applicable user). For details about configuring user access
privileges, see the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 documentation.
You can only export scheduled reports to client PCs that are within the same
domain as the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
To export scheduled reports to the client PC, you must first create a shared
folder on the client PC, and grant change and read permissions to the scheduled
reports account group (that is, iceAdmin or the domain account set up by the
administrator using the iceAdmin Password Change Utility).
1. To create a shared target folder with change and read permissions to the
iceAdmin account, follow the steps below:
Click Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Local Users
and Groups > Users.
Create a new user iceAdmin with the same password as on Contact
Center Manager Administration server
Create a folder on the client PC that will store the exported scheduled
report file from the Contact Center Manager Administration scheduled
reports.
Grant change/read permissions to the local iceAdmin account on the
folder
Note: This option will not work when the client PC is outside the domain of the
Contact Center Manager Administration server. In this scenario, you must add
the client PC to the network domain of the Contact Center Manager
Administration server.
To export scheduled report files to a client PC, in the Output box on the Report
Properties window, type the path to the shared folder to which the report will be
sent. The path must have the format \\<client PC computer name>\<shared
folder name>\<file name>, without the file extension. Alternatively, you can
use the Browse button to select your shared folder for export file.
Example: If you want to export the Agent Performance report to a shared folder
on the client PC, and the client PC computer name is clientpc, the shared folder
name is reports, and you decide to call the report agent, you type
\\clientpc\reports\agent in the Output box.
For details about configuring user access privileges, see the Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 documentation. If you require additional information about creating
and mapping folders, see your Microsoft documentation.
However, if you make changes to the original report on the network computer
after you import it into Contact Center Manager Administration, these changes
are not reflected in the imported report unless you select Synchronize report
template from the network drive in the template importing wizard. If you select
this value when importing the report, then, when you subsequently run the
imported report in Contact Center Manager Administration (either ad hoc or
scheduled), the system checks the network folder in which the original report is
stored to see if any changes have been made to it. If the original report has
changed, then the system synchronizes these changes with the imported report
before running it. This process is automatic and invisible to the user.
If you have made changes to several original reports after importing them into
Contact Center Manager Administration, you can manually synchronize the
changes with the imported reports all at once by using the Synchronize User
Imported Report Templates window in Contact Center Manager Administration.
In this window, when you click Submit, the system synchronizes the changes
that you have made to all original reports stored in shared folders on a network
PC with the copies stored on the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
However, because this may be a lengthy process (based on the number of
reports), and to avoid corrupting any existing reports, Nortel recommends that
you do so only when no reports are running (either ad hoc or scheduled).
Before you can use the report synchronization feature, you must set up the
shared folder on the network PC with the appropriate access privileges
according to your organization’s security policy.
ATTENTION
When the Contact Center Manager Administration server is
part of a network domain, the user imported reports (only
when run as scheduled reports) might not be synchronized
automatically because the Contact Center Manager
Administration server account that is used for scheduled
reports, iceAdmin, might not have access to the network
directory. In this scenario, to synchronize the affected user
imported reports, follow the procedure “To manually
synchronize changes made to user imported templates” in
the Contact Center Manager Administration online Help, or
run the report ad hoc whenever the original report template
is modified on the source network location.
or
You can share the folder with read permissions for the IUSR_SWC and
iceAdmin accounts (these accounts are used by the Contact Center Manager
Administration server). For details, see “Option 2: Share the folder with
read permissions for the IUSR_SWC and iceAdmin accounts (these
accounts are used by the Contact Center Manager Administration server),”
on page 838.

When you change the webadmin password, you
must ensure that you do not lose or forget the new
password or you cannot log on to Contact Center
Manager Administration as the webadmin
administrator. In this case, you must uninstall and
reinstall Contact Center Manager Administration to
reinstate the original webadmin user account with
the default password.
Tip: To avoid this scenario, immediately after
installing Contact Center Manager Administration,
log on to the Contact Center Manager Administration
server as webadmin, and create a new administrator
account of your choice (for example, tempadmin),
giving this user account Access and Partition
Management rights. This way, if you lose or forget
your new webadmin password, you can still log on to
the Contact Center Manager Administration server as
tempadmin and change the webadmin password. For
more information about adding Contact Center
Manager Administration users, see the online Help.
8 Click Submit.
Result: The default password is changed and the main logon window
reappears.
10 Click Login.
Result: The Contact Center Manager Administration main window
appears.
Introduction
All Contact Center Manager Administration components, with the exception of
the Audit Trail component, require that you download controls to your client PC
in order to ensure proper functionality in each of the components. For a list of all
controls required by Contact Center Manager Administration components, see
“Controls that are downloaded to the client PC,” on page 885.

1 Click Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy.
Result: The Local Security Settings window appears.
7 From the Local policy setting list, select the new policy setting (select
either Silently Succeed or Warn but allow installation, based on your
preference).
8 Click OK to save your changes.
9 Close the Local Security Policy Setting window.
When the browser is configured to “prompt”, a dialog box opens the first time
the control is required by Contact Center Manager Administration. This dialog
box displays the name of the control, the company of origin, and prompts you to
accept the control before it is downloaded. When this dialog box is displayed,
you must choose to accept the control before the system will download the
control to the client PC. You will only be prompted to accept the control the first
time that the control is required by the Contact Center Manager Administration
component in which you are working.
For a list of the controls required by each component, see “Controls that are
downloaded to the client PC” on page 885.
Note: Both regular Windows users and domain users who log on to client PCs
running either Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, or Windows 2000
Professional must have an ID that is part of the Power Users group on the client
PC to successfully download and install many of the controls required by
Contact Center Manager Administration. (A user with administrator privileges
must first install client SOAP on the client PCs.) For information about adding
these users to the Power Users group, consult Microsoft Windows Help in the
appropriate operating system. Once the required controls have been successfully
downloaded to the client PC by a user with administrator privileges, users who
are not members of the Power Users group or users who do not have
administrator privileges will be able to use all Contact Center Manager
Administration components on the client PC to which they have been granted
access.
2 On the General tab, under the Temporary Internet files heading, click
Settings.
Result: The Settings window appears.
Note: Controls downloaded using the ActiveX Controls.msi file will not appear
in the Internet Explorer Downloaded Program Files window.
Deleting controls
You can delete any of the controls from the list of installed controls on the client
PC. However, note that if Internet Explorer has been using the control, you may
need to close the browser and reopen it before the system allows you to delete
the control.
A user with administrator privileges can log on to each client PC, connect
to the Contact Center Manager Administration server, and can
automatically download all required controls by opening all applicable
components and windows that require these controls.
For those users who have a central management tool in their network, such
as a Systems Management Server (SMS), Nortel has bundled the required
controls into a single file called ActiveX Controls.msi. You can use the
SMS server to run this file and silently install all the required controls on all
the SMS clients, regardless of the level of user who has logged on to the
PC. For details, see “To run the ActiveX Controls.msi file from an SMS
server” on page 892.
If you do not have an SMS server, a user with administrator privileges can
launch the ActiveX Controls.msi file on each client PC individually to
install all the required controls at once (without having to log on to Contact
Center Manager Administration). For details, see “To run the ActiveX
Controls.msi file on each client PC” on page 893.
Note: Both regular Windows users and domain users who log on to client PCs
running either Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, or Windows 2000
Professional must have an ID that is part of the Power Users group on the client
PC to successfully download and install many of the controls required by
Contact Center Manager Administration. (A user with administrator privileges
must first install client SOAP on the client PCs.) For information about adding
these users to the Power Users group, consult Microsoft Windows Help in the
appropriate operating system.
Notes:
Since installation procedures through an SMS system can vary from one
company to the next, the following procedure offers general guidelines
only. Follow your company’s guidelines to install the ActiveX
Controls.msi file on the SMS clients in your network.
In addition to using an SMS server, a system administrator can install this
package on client PCs within the same domain using the Windows group
policy. For details, see the documentation on the Microsoft web site at
www.microsoft.com.
Controls downloaded using the ActiveX Controls.msi file will not appear in
the Internet Explorer Downloaded Program Files window.
1 Configure the browser to enable 'initialize and script ActiveX Controls not
marked as safe' by completing the procedures in “Step 3. Configure
Internet Explorer” on page 255.
2 Log on to the SMS server with administrator privileges.
3 Insert the Contact Center Manager installation DVD into the SMS server,
and then navigate to the root directory.
4 From the Contact Center Manager installation DVD, copy the file ActiveX
Controls.msi to the desired directory on the SMS server.
5 Double-click the ActiveX Controls.msi file to run the installation and install
the files on all SMS client PCs in your network.
Note: Controls downloaded using the ActiveX Controls.msi file will not appear
in the Internet Explorer Downloaded Program Files window.
1 Configure the browser to enable 'initialize and script ActiveX Controls not
marked as safe' by completing the procedures in “Step 3. Configure
Internet Explorer” on page 255.

Upgrade Agent Desktop Display. For details, see Section E: “Upgrade agent
workstations,” on page 897.
In this section
Step 31. Upgrade Agent Desktop Display on agent workstations 898
Step 32. Configure active and standby servers for ADD (optional) 902
Introduction
This section includes the following procedure for upgrading Agent Desktop
Display on agent workstations:
Upgrading Agent Desktop Display 4.5 client PCs to Release 6.0 This
procedure involves automatically upgrading the Agent Desktop Display 4.5
client PCs to Release 6.0.
6 From the list, choose the language in which you want to upgrade Agent
Desktop Display. You can choose from English, French, German,
Japanese, and Traditional Chinese.
Note: On coresident servers that contain Contact Center Manager Server,
Contact Center Manager Administration, and Communication Control
Toolkit, the only supported language version of the Windows Server 2003
operating system is English. If the coresident server contains only Contact
Center Manager Server and Contact Center Manager Administration, then
it only supports English, Japanese, and Traditional Chinese.
Note: For more information about Agent Desktop Display and multiple
language support, see “To configure multiple language support in Agent
Desktop Display” on page 312.
7 Click OK.
Result: The system prepares for setup and displays the Welcome to the
InstallShield Wizard for Agent Desktop Display window.
8 Click Next.
Note: If an application is running on the client whose files must be updated
by the InstallShield, a Files in Use window appears. You must close any
applications listed in this window, and then click Retry.
Result: The system copies the necessary files, and then installation
begins. When you are upgrading from a previous version of Agent Desktop
Display, you cannot change the server IP addresses during the upgrade.
Instead, the program uses the IP addresses that you originally chose. To
change these addresses, after the client software is installed, use the
Server IP Addresses window in the application. When the upgrade is
complete, the InstallShield Wizard Completed window appears.
9 Click Finish.
Result: The system may prompt you to restart your system.
10 If required by your network security policy, turn your proxy settings back on
after upgrading Agent Desktop Display.
Introduction
If you have standby servers installed in your network, Agent Desktop Display
6.0 includes a new feature which allows you to configure the IP address or
hostname of active and standby servers for Contact Center Manager
Administration and Contact Center Manager Server.
This feature allows agents to easily switch between active and standby servers as
required by their network administrator. This simplifies the recovery procedures
in the event of a failure on the active server requiring a cutover to a standby
server.
In the Contact Center Manager Server: Active text box, type the IP
address or hostname of the active Contact Center Manager Server. This
field is required.
If you have installed a standby Contact Center Manager Administration
server, type the IP address or hostname of the standby Contact Center
Manager Administration server in the Contact Center Manager
Administration: Standby text box. This field is optional.
If you have installed a standby Contact Center Manager Server, type
the IP address or hostname of the standby Contact Center Manager
Server in the Contact Center Manager Server: Standby text box. This
field is optional.
Note:
The IP multicast addresses that you select for RSM sending and
receiving must be within the 224.0.1.0 and 239.255.255.255 range.
Check with your network administrator for acceptable IP multicast
addresses for your specific network.
When typing the IP address of Contact Center Manager Server, if you
are installing Agent Desktop Display on a Terminal Services/Citrix
server, keep in mind that all agents who use Agent Desktop Display
from this particular server must be configured on the same server in
Contact Center Manager Server.
4 Click Save.
5 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
What’s next
If you have been using Symposium Call Center Server 5.0 administered by at
least one Classic Client and you are planning to upgrade your Symposium Call
Center Server 5.0 to Contact Center Manager Server 6.0, you must migrate your
Classic Client data to Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0. For details,
see Section F: “Migrate Classic Client,” on page 905.

Overview
Introduction
This section describes how to migrate the following Classic Client data to
Contact Center Manager Administration:
Filter sets
Historical reports
Real-time displays
Graphical real-time displays
Agent-skillset and agent-supervisor scheduled assignments
User types
Network Control Center (NCC) routing table scheduled assignments
This chapter also describes how to remove associated supervisors from Classic
Client.
The procedures in this chapter are only required if you have been using
Symposium Call Center Server 5.0 administered by at least one Classic Client
and plan to upgrade your Symposium Call Center Server 5.0 to Contact Center
Manager Server 6.0.
Because Contact Center Manager Server 6.0 does not support Classic Client, if
you have been using Classic Client to administer your Symposium Call Center
Server, you will need to migrate your Classic Client data to Contact Center
Manager Administration 6.0.
If you are a new user to Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0 and Contact
Center Manager Server and do not have any Classic Clients in your network, you
do not need to perform the procedures in this chapter.
Migration Checklist
With the filter sets feature, you can elect the sites and resources to be included in
a network-consolidated report. After you create and save a filter set, you can
apply it to both standard and private network-consolidated historical reports to
view only the information that you specify in the generated report. When you
connect to a Contact Center Manager Server and open a network-consolidated
report, the Selection Criteria area includes a list of the available network sites
and any available filter sets that you define and save.
You can use filter sets migrated from the Classic Client in Contact Center
Manager Administration. While each of the Classic Client filter sets contains
only one type of data – either skillsets, applications, route numbers, route names,
Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) numbers, or DNIS names – you
can add different types of data to these filter sets after you import them into
Contact Center Manager Administration by using the filter sets tabs in Historical
Reporting.
With the Filter Set Upgrade Tool, you can reuse existing Classic Client filter
sets. Use the tool to:
retrieve the existing filter set information from the Network Control Center
master database (MDB).
reformat and save filter sets in the Active Directory.
Classic Client:
Stores all user-defined and user-created reports on supervisors’ PCs
running Classic Client or on a network PC designated by supervisor.
Stores and controls all schedules on the Symposium Call Center Server.
These schedules trigger the running of reports on the Classic Client.
You must migrate user-created reports and user-defined reports from Classic
Client to Contact Center Manager Administration:
User-created reports are customer report templates created with Crystal
Reports and imported into Classic Client. User-created reports and their
schedules can be migrated from the Classic Client if they were created
using Crystal Reports software (version 9.0 or earlier). You can migrate the
following types of user-created reports: Historical, Configuration, and
Parameterized reports.
User-defined reports are user reports saved from the standard Classic
Client reports, such as the Agent Performance report. Contact Center
Manager Administration also provides the same set of standard reports.
Migrating user-defined reports involves re-creating the report manually
using the same standard template that exists on Contact Center Manager
Administration, specifying the same criteria, and saving it.
Notes:
User-created reports cannot be migrated if they were created with any other
ODBC or Structured Query Language (SQL) compliant writer. These
reports must be recreated in Contact Center Manager Administration.
If your reports are scheduled reports, you must schedule each report in Contact
Center Manager Administration and remove the schedule from the Symposium
Server through the Classic Client. If the schedule is not removed from the
Symposium Call Center Server, the report runs twice if the Classic Client is
installed and the report listener is running.
2 Select the Contact Center Manager Server from which you want to run the
report (for example, the Galway server).
Result: The server expands to reveal a choice between public, private, and
any group folders created.
Notes:
If this box is selected at the time of import, the Contact Center Manager
Administration server synchronizes the user-created reports from the
source network drive every time you modify the report using Crystal
Reports on the network drive. This means if you modify your source
report template on the network drive/PC, you do not need to import the
report to the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
To use this option, ensure the network PC is preconfigured to use it.
See the Contact Center Manager Administration Installation and
Maintenance Guide or contact your administrator for details.
9 Enter the timestamp field (if the timestamp field is not in the correct format,
the report does not run).
10 Select the Report Data Range option. The choices are Interval, Daily,
Weekly, and Monthly.
11 Click Next.
12 Click Finish.
Result: The report is added to the list in the Reports window.
Notes:
If you select the Configuration option, you do not need to specify an
alias.
To determine the alias of a database, open the report in Crystal Reports
and choose Database > Set Alias.
The Timestamp field is not required for a configuration report.
Refer to the Contact Center Manager Administration online Help for more
information about importing reports.
4 Double-click Scheduler.
Result: All of the reports currently scheduled are displayed. Make note of
the reports and their schedules for migration.
Scheduling reports
Note: For more information about scheduling reports, see the Contact Center -
Manager Supervisor’s Guide.
ATTENTION
The schedule time that you specify is based on the
time zone that you choose. However, the system
translates the schedule time that you enter to the time
zone in which the Contact Center Manager
Administration server is located. The report is
generated at the time and in the time zone you specify,
but the timestamp at the bottom of the generated
report reflects the Contact Center Manager
Administration server time. For more information about
time zones, see the Supervisor’s Reference Guide for
Symposium Web Client 4.5. This document is posted
on the web site www.nortel.com.
You can also specify one or more e-mail addresses to which the system can send
notification that the report has been generated successfully, or that there were
problems preventing the report from being generated. If the system cannot
generate the report, the e-mail notification contains possible reasons for the
failure, enabling you to repair the problem and generate the report again.
Note: If you choose to print the report to a file, you must specify a shared folder
to which the Contact Center Manager Administration server sends the output
file. This folder can be on your computer, on another computer in the network,
or on the Contact Center Manager Administration server. If the folder that you
specify is on a computer other than the Contact Center Manager Administration
server, the computer must be within the same domain as the Contact Center
Manager Administration server.
If you want to send a scheduled report to a printer, ensure that your
administrator has configured a default printer on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server. If a default printer has not been defined, then you can
only send reports to a file.
1 Click the print check box or the output to file check box, or both.
2 To print the report:
from the Printer list, select the printer to which you want to print the
scheduled report.
From the Paper Size list, select the appropriate paper size for the
printed report.
3 To send the report to a file, in the Output box, type the path to the shared
output folder. The path must have the format \\[computer name]\[shared
folder name]\[file name], without the file extension.
Example: You want to send the Agent Performance report to a shared
folder on the Contact Center Manager Administration server. The Contact
Center Manager Administration server computer name is appsrvr, the
shared folder name is reports, and you decide to call the report agent. You
type \\appsrvr\reports\agent in the Output box.
Note: Click the Save file under different name each time check box if
you want the system to save the report with a different name each time it is
generated. If you do not check this box, the system overwrites previously
generated reports with the updated versions every time a report is
generated.
4 From the Format list, select the export file format that you want to use.
5 Click the Send notification e-mail to check box if you want the system to
notify you when the report has been generated.
6 Enter one or more e-mail addresses in the box. You can type a maximum of
255 characters in the box with each e-mail address separated by a semi-
colon (;).
7 Click Submit.
Result: The report is saved.
8 Click Activate.
Result: The report schedule is activated.
To activate a report
You can activate a report schedule in two ways:

Introduction
In Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0, the partitions feature replaces
the Classic Client concept of associated supervisors. If you migrate from Classic
Client to Contact Center Manager Administration, the associated supervisors
may block a deletion of a supervisor. For this reason, Nortel recommends that
you remove associated supervisors from Classic Client when migrating to
Contact Center Manager Administration.
Note: If this step is not performed, Contact Center Manager Administration will
remove the secondary supervisor assignment when the supervisor is deleted.

Section F: Migrate Classic Client 1179
Overview
Introduction
Nortel does not support a direct migration from Symposium Web Client 4.5 on
server A to Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0 on server B. That is, you
cannot back up Symposium Web Client data on a source server and restore that
database backup to Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0 on a new target
server.
Use the migration and upgrade procedures in this chapter if you want to upgrade
from Symposium Web Client Release 4.5 SUS0601 v1 on a Windows 2003
platform to Contact Center Manager Administration Release 6.0 on a new
server.
ATTENTION
If your Symposium Web Client 4.5 is running on Windows
Server 2000/ Advanced Server, you must perform a full
platform migration to Windows Server 2003 before
proceeding with your upgrade to Contact Center Manager
Administration 6.0. For details about migrating Symposium
Web Client 4.5 on a Windows 2000/ Advanced Server
platform to a Windows 2003 platform, see Chapter 8,
“Migrating SWC 4.5 platform from Windows 2000 to
Windows 2003.”
You have the option to migrate your Classic Client data before or after you
perform the upgrade. For more information about planning your upgrade and
compatibility considerations for Classic Client, consult the Nortel Contact
Center 6.0 Planning and Engineering Guide.
You have two options for completing an upgrade from Symposium Web Client
4.5 (SUS0601 v1 or later) on Windows 2003 to Contact Center Manager
Administration 6.0 on a new server.
Note: The procedures for this recommended upgrade path (Option 1) are
documented from end to end in this chapter.
Option 2
You can also upgrade from Symposium Web Client 4.5 (SUS0601 v1 or later)
on Windows 2003 to Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0 on a new
server by completing the following tasks:
1. Upgrade Symposium Web Client 4.5 (SUS0601 v1 or later) on the source
server to Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0. For details, see
Chapter 9, “Upgrading from SWC 4.5 (Windows 2003) to CCMA 6.0 on
same server.”
2. Migrate Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0 data from the source
server to the target server. For details, see Chapter 11, “Migrating CCMA
6.0 to a new server.”
Because this scenario does not maintain a fully operational Symposium Web
Client 4.5 in the contact center while you perform the upgrade, this upgrade path
is not recommended by Nortel.
Timing
The following upgrade times provide guidance on the time required for software
upgrade.
Preinstallation (including operating system installation/configuration): 3 hours
Postinstallation: 1 hour
These times can vary depending on the server, network infrastructure and your
confidence level with the software. The installation times are based on servers
with the following specifications:
CPU: Intel Xeon 3GHz
Ram: 1.0 GB
Hard Drive: 80GB 7200 RPM SATA with no RAID configuration
DVD Drive: Internal IDE 8X DVD-ROM

Introduction
Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0 is compatible with Symposium Call
Center Server Release 5.0 SUS0504 (or later) and Contact Center Manager
Server 6.0 (or later). Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0 is
incompatible with previous releases of Symposium Call Center Server.
Backward compatibility
You can use Contact Center Manager Administration to administer Symposium
Call Center Server 5.0 SUS0504 (or later) in your network, but you cannot use
Symposium Web Client 4.5 to administer Contact Center Manager Server 6.0.
To administer Contact Center Manager Server 6.0, you must upgrade the
Contact Center Manager Administration server to Release 6.0 of Contact Center
Manager Administration.
For further details about compatibility, see “Compatibility with Contact Center
Manager Server and previous versions of Symposium Call Center Server,” on
page 580.
Introduction
You must install and configure Windows Server 2003 and Symposium Web
Client 4.5 SUS0601 v1 on the target server.
For further details about installing and configuring Symposium Web Client 4.5,
see the Symposium Web Client Planning, Installation, and Administration
Guide.
When you install Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition,
there are several Windows components in the installation process that are
required for Symposium Web Client:
Internet Information Services (IIS) with Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
(SMTP)
Notes:
Because there are no specific guidelines or restrictions regarding the
number or size of the application server partitions for Symposium Web
Client, the person installing the software must determine the best hard disk
configuration for the application server. For example, there can be separate
partitions for the operating system, the application software, and the shared
folders that are required for exporting historical reports, or everything can
be installed and configured on the same partition.
To install IIS and Terminal Services, you must scroll through the list of
components, and select Application Server and the Terminal Services and
Terminal Services Licensing boxes. IIS is a subcomponent of Application
Server, and SMTP is a subcomponent of IIS.
Terminal Services can communicate with the Terminal Services License
Server (Terminal Services Licensing) only if they are in the same domain.
Therefore, Nortel recommends that you install both on the application
server.
When installing Windows Server 2003, ensure that you install it on a clean
server that is newly partitioned and free of other operating system
attributes. If the server contains existing operating system attributes, or if it
contains partitions left over from a previous operating system installation,
then you must manually configure the server with the correct IIS
ATTENTION
Consult Microsoft for the latest information
about Client Access Licensing. Nortel does not
accept any liability for end-user compliance
with Microsoft licensing agreements. This
information has been provided for your
convenience.
Client PCs running on Windows 2000 or
Windows XP require a Windows 2000 Server
Client Access License (CAL) only; they do not
require a separate Terminal Services Client
Access License.
If the application server is running Windows
Server 2003, then you have the option of
purchasing either one Windows Server 2003
CAL per user (user CAL) who accesses the
application server, or per client PC (device
CAL) that accesses the application server.
Choose the type of CAL that best suits your
organization.
Nortel does not provide these Client Access
Licenses.
If the client PC is accessing only Script
Variables or Application Thresholds, then these
Licenses are not required.
Because Windows 2000 domain controllers do not have the additional Windows
Server 2003 security policies, when the application server is running Windows
Server 2003 and you add the server to a Windows 2000 domain controller, you
can only apply the Windows 2000 group security policies that are common to
Windows Server 2003. All new Windows Server 2003 security policies that are
not available in the Windows 2000 domain controller must be controlled by the
Windows Server 2003 local security policy.
If the application server is running Windows Server 2003 and you add the server
to a Windows Server 2003 domain controller, then you can define the security
policies in the Organizational Unit (OU) of the application server and combine
this with the local server security policies for an effective security setting.
You may need to adjust your group policies for Symposium Web Client or
exclude the application server from a specific group policy if conflicts are
identified. For more information about group policies and Symposium Web
Client, see the Nortel Symposium Call Center Web Client 4.5 Security Guide for
Windows Server 2003. This guide is available to distributors and channel
partners who have access to the Partner Information Center web site (within
www.nortel.com).
ATTENTION
When you install Symposium Web Client, the Web Client
setup wizard creates a local Windows user called
iceAdmin, and assigns full administrative access rights to
this user. During the Symposium Web Client installation,
the setup wizard prompts you to specify the password for
this user. You can change this password after the
installation, but you cannot delete the local iceAdmin user
account in Windows Server 2003. If you delete this user
account, then you will not be able to log on to Symposium
Web Client either as webadmin or as any other user.
After creating the partition, the system copies Windows Server 2003 files ❑
to the hard drive. When the copy process is complete, the system restarts.
To help create such a process, you can follow a series of best practices
guidelines, as documented in the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) Special Bulletin 800-40, Procedures for Handling Security Patches.
This bulletin suggests that if an organization does not have a centralized group
to coordinate the storage, evaluation, and chronicling of security patches into a
library, then system administrators or the contact center administrator must
fulfill this role.
they are issued, including any Microsoft installation procedures and security
patch rollback processes that may be in place. Finally, you must make a full
system backup before patching the system to ensure that a rollback is possible, if
required.
Note: If Symposium Web Client does not function properly after you apply a
Microsoft security patch, then you must remove the patch and revert to the
previous version of Symposium Web Client (from the backup you made before
applying the patch). For added security, refer to the Symposium Service Packs
and Security Hotfixes Compatibility List on the Partner Information Center
(PIC) web site at www.nortel.com/pic to see if Nortel has already verified the
Microsoft patch for its compatibility with Symposium Web Client.
Note: If you require any other third-party software (such as third-party backup
utilities or antivirus software), you must install it after you install Symposium
Web Client.
After you install Sybase Open Client Version 12.5, you must update the Sybase
Open Client driver. For details, see “To upgrade the Sybase 12.5 ODBC driver,”
on page 980.
Note: If you have Sybase version 12.0 installed on the application server, then
you can perform an upgrade to Sybase version 12.5 using the following
procedure. If you have a version of Sybase earlier than 12.0 installed on the
application server, then you must uninstall it before you install version 12.5. For
information about uninstalling the software, see the documentation posted on the
Sybase web site at www.sybase.com.
1 On the server, click Start > Control Panel > System.
Result: The System Properties window appears.
2 Click the Advanced tab.
Symposium Web Client only functions with Sybase Open Client 12.5. If the
application server already has a version of Sybase installed that is newer than
version 12.5, then you must uninstall it completely before installing version
12.5. For information about uninstalling Sybase software, see “Uninstalling an
SU, SUS, or DP,” on page 1584.
1 Insert the Symposium Call Center Web Client CD in the CD-ROM drive.
2 Click Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
Result: The Add or Remove Programs window appears.
8 Click Next.
Result: The Sybase Installer window appears, followed by the Installation
Type window.
10 If you are installing the software for the first time, type a custom location in
which to install the software, or accept the default location shown. Nortel
recommends that when you are upgrading from Sybase 12.0, you type the
same folder in which the Sybase software is currently installed. For
example, if the software is installed on drive E: in a folder called Sybase,
then you type E:\Sybase. However, if you do not know this location, then
you can type a custom location in which to install the software, or accept
the default location shown (C:\SYBASE).
ATTENTION
When choosing a custom location in which to install
the Sybase software, do not choose a directory name
that contains a space. For example, do not choose
D:\Program Files\Sybase because the Sybase
installation program cannot process the space in
“Program Files.”
11 Click Next.
Result: The Summary window appears, displaying the components being
installed.
12 Click Next.
Result: The Create Directory window appears, prompting you to confirm
the name of the directory to which the files will be copied.
13 Click Yes.
Result: The Installing window appears, displaying a status bar while the
system installs the program.
14 If you are upgrading to Sybase Version 12.5, the system asks if you want to
overwrite the following existing Sybase .DLL files. Click Yes when
prompted to replace/reinstall these Sybase files:
replace mchelp.dll version 12.0 with version 12.5.0.0
replace mclib.dll version 12.0 with version 12.5.0.0
replace Language Modules version 12.0 with version 12.5
reinstall Component Sybase Central 3.2.0
If the system prompts you to replace the following optional file, you can
click either Yes or No. Because the file is optional, your choice does not
affect the Sybase installation.
replace Power Dynamo version 3.0.0 with version 3.5.2
If the system prompts you to replace any other DLLs, including system
DLLs, such as msvcrt40.dll version 4.20, click No. Do not replace any
system DLLs.
Note: If a window with the following message appears, click OK:
COMCTL32.DLL - The system does not need this update.
15 Click Yes.
Result: This can take several minutes. Do not attempt to manually restart
the system. When restarting, log on as a user with administrator privileges.
After the system restarts, the Information window appears, confirming the
Sybase installation.
ATTENTION
Do not remove the Symposium Web Client CD from
the CD-ROM drive during the system restart process.
The Installation Wizard carries out some final
configuration procedures after the system restarts.
16 Click OK.
17 Close the Control Panel window. Continue with the procedure below, “To
upgrade the Sybase 12.5 ODBC driver.”
Notes:
If you are installing Symposium Web Client on a coresident server with
Symposium Call Center Server, then Sybase Open Client version 12.5 is
already installed and you do not need to install it again, nor do you need
to upgrade the Sybase 12.5 ODBC driver.
For further instructions, see the instructions.txt file, which is located in the
EBF11113 folder on the Symposium Web Client CD-ROM.
If you already have Sybase Open Client 12.5 installed on the application
server and are upgrading Symposium Web Client 4.5 from one build to the
next, then you must still perform this procedure to upgrade the Sybase
Open Client 12.5 ODBC driver before upgrading the Symposium Web
Client software.
1 On the application server, free up all active Sybase Open Client
connections as follows:
a. Close all Symposium Web Client browser sessions.
b. Stop any other third-party applications that are running on the
application server and that use Sybase Open Client.
2 On the application server, reset IIS as follows:
a. Click Start > Run.
b. In the Open box, type cmd.
c. Click OK.
d. Ad the prompt, type iisreset.
e. Press Enter.
Result: The following screen appears:

ATTENTION
Nortel recommends that you install Symposium Web
Client as the default web site, reserving the application
server solely for the use of Symposium Web Client.
3. Verify that IIS is completely installed before you install Symposium Web
Client. Click Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools. If Internet
Services Manager is listed, it means that IIS was successfully installed. If it
does not appear, then you must ensure that it is correctly installed before
you proceed with the Symposium Web Client installation.
4. Verify that you have not changed the default settings in Windows 2003 to
disable the capability to generate 8.3 style short filename. Disabling the
capability to generate 8.3 style short filenames causes the installation of
Symposium Web Client to fail. For details, see “Installation of Symposium
Web Client on Windows 2003 fails because of Windows Script Host error
message,” on page 744.
Note: You must have administrator privileges in Windows Server 2003 to install
Symposium Web Client on the application server.

10 Click No.
Result: The Customer Information window appears.
ATTENTION
Nortel recommends that you click Anyone who uses
this computer (all users). Failure to do so can prevent
users who have authorization to use Symposium Web
Client from using the application server when they need
to.
Only for me (<username>) allows only a user with your username and
password to log on to Symposium Web Client.
11 Click Next.
Result: The SOAP Configuration Parameters window appears.
In this window, you must type the URL that you use to access Symposium
Web Client on the application server (without the http:// prefix) so that
certain SOAP WSDL files are installed and function properly. If the
Symposium Web Client default URL is the same as the application server’s
computer name, then you can accept the default value shown, and then
click Next. If, however, the Symposium Web Client default URL is the
application server’s fully qualified host name (for example,
<computername>.<domain name>.com), then you must type this name.
If you are installing Symposium Web Client as a virtual directory on an
existing web site, then you still type either the computer name or the fully
qualified host name as usual; you do not type a value that includes the
virtual directory name.
Note: If you change the computer name after you install Symposium Web
Client on Windows Server 2003, then some SOAP processes will not
function properly (because they still refer to the old computer name), and
you will not be able to work with the components that require SOAP
functionality, such as Configuration. To reset the SOAP files to reflect the
new computer name, an administrator or support technician must run the
ChangeSOAPSrv utility. Additionally, you must perform a procedure to
reset the name in IIS and update the DNS or HOSTS table to reflect the
new computer name.
ATTENTION
If you are not sure of the Symposium Web Client default
URL, then you can accept the default value shown.
However, if the client PCs that are used to access the
application server are located outside the server’s
domain, then you must type the fully qualified domain
name here. To view the fully qualified domain name of
the server, ping the server’s computer name. The results
of a successful ping include the fully qualified domain
name.
Note: If you are using the fully qualified domain name in this window, and if
you are going to add the application server as a Trusted Site when
configuring Internet Explorer on the client PC, then you must also add the
fully qualified domain name as a Trusted Site on each client PC that
accesses the application server.
Result: The Port Configuration for ADAM window appears.
12 Based on the server configuration, the default values in this window vary,
as follows:
Port 389 for LDAP and port 636 for SSL appear in this window. Before
accepting these default values, check with your administrator to ensure
that these ports are not used by any other application. If these ports are
already being used, then ask your administrator to recommend new port
numbers and type them in the boxes provided.
Port 50000 for LDAP and port 50001 for SSL appear in this window.
Before accepting these default values, check with your administrator to
ensure that these ports are not used by any other application. If these
ports are already being used, then ask your administrator to recommend
new port numbers and type them in the boxes provided.
13 Click Next.
Result: The Web Site Type window appears.
You can install Symposium Web Client as the default web site on the
application server, or install it as a virtual directory on an existing web site.
ATTENTION
Nortel recommends that you click Default, reserving the
application server solely for the use of Symposium Web
Client for optimum performance.
15 Select Complete.
16 Click Next.
Result: The Ready to Install the Program window appears.
17 Click Next.
ATTENTION
Installation ends if you did not install the required third-
party applications prior to installing Symposium Web
Client.

account.
Note: After you finish installing Symposium Web Client, you can change
this custom password.
20 In the Confirm Password box, type the password again, and then click
OK.
Result: The system ensures that you typed the same password both times,
registers the new password, and then the installation proceeds. It continues
with installing the Crystal Reports templates.
Then the system installs Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM).
Note: Sometimes the window does not appear; instead, the system
automatically starts installing the SOAP files. In this case, proceed to the
next step.
22 The program searches for installed components, and then installs the
required Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) files.
Result: After the system has installed the required SOAP components, the
ADAMSchema window appears.
Note: You must have the same Service Update on the source server and the
target server in order to successfully migrate from the source server to the target
server. At minimum, the patch level must be Symposium Web Client 4.5
(SUS0601 v1) to support a direct upgrade to Contact Center Manager
Administration 6.0.
Introduction
Before performing the migration procedure or performing any significant
upgrade of the application server, Nortel recommends that you make a
complete backup of the entire Symposium Web Client application server,
including Active Directory, using a proven third-party backup tool of your
choice, or the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server backup method. A full
backup of the source server allows regression of the source server back to its
original state, if required.
During the backup procedure, you must ensure that no data is changed between
the back up of Active Directory and the data files. Therefore, Nortel
recommends that you perform backups during periods of low activity.
For details about creating full backups of the application server, refer to
Microsoft documentation or the documentation of the third-party backup tool of
your choice.
CAUTION
You can use Backup to back up and restore data on either File
Allocation Table (FAT) or NT File System (NTFS) volumes.
However, if you have backed up data from an NTFS volume used
in Windows 2000, Nortel recommends that you restore the data to
an NTFS volume, or you may lose data as well as some file and
folder features.
Introduction
After you perform a full backup of the source server, create a backup of the
individual Nortel data files that are stored outside of Active Directory on the
source server. Nortel recommends that you back up the individual Nortel files in
addition to performing a full backup of the source server as this will create a
more manageable backup file containing only the data files that need to be
restored to the target server.
The data files that are stored outside of Active Directory that you must back up
before performing the full platform migration procedure include the following:
Historical report data
Real-time display snapshots
Emergency Help snapshots
Schedule data
These files are not transferred automatically from the source server to the target
server during the migration. These files must be restored separately on to the
target server in order to complete the migration between platforms.
In addition to the files listed above, you must also back up any files that you
have saved on the application server for Symposium Web Client operations,
such as:
custom report templates
Historical Reporting output files
snapshots of real-time displays
snapshots of Emergency Help panels
the directories where you have stored the following types of files (if the
directories are not the default folders specified in step 3b):
Historical report output files
Custom report templates
Real-time display snapshots
Emergency Help snapshots
Note: Real-time display snapshots are stored as HTML files in the following
default path:
C:\Program Files\Nortel Networks\WClient\Apps\Reporting\Real-
time\Exports
(where C is the drive on which you installed Symposium Web Client).
Note: Emergency Help snapshots are stored as HTML files in the following
default path:
C:\Program Files\Nortel
Networks\WClient\Apps\EmergencyHelp\Exports
(where C is the drive on which you installed Symposium Web Client).
4 Click Next Step.
5 In the Select a destination for the backup window, select the destination
for the backup.
Note: If you have a supported tape backup drive that is detected by
Backup, it appears at the bottom of the Select a destination for the backup
window. If you do not have a tape drive, or your tape drive is not supported
or detected, you can select a floppy disk drive or a location on your hard
disk.
If you want to back up your files to a network drive, you must map a drive
letter to the network destination to which you want to back up your files. If
you have mapped a drive letter to a network drive, Backup displays it in the
Select a destination for the backup window.
6 Click Start Backup.
Note: If you have created a new backup set, you are prompted to name the
new backup set.
Result: Backup informs you when the backup operation is finished.
Introduction
This is an optional step. Symposium Web Client 4.5 required Terminal Services
for Scripting. Because Scripting is a fully integrated web-based client in Contact
Center Manager Administration 6.0, you have the option of removing Terminal
Services before performing your upgrade to Contact Center Manager
Administration 6.0.
However, you may have third-party products on your application server which
require Terminal Services. In this case, you can keep Terminal Services on the
application server and this will not affect the performance of Contact Center
Manager Administration 6.0.
If you do not want to remove Terminal Services from the application server, you
can proceed directly to “Step 10. Restore the data files from the source server to
the target server” on page 1006.
Introduction
Perform this procedure to restore the files that you had backed up from the
source server to the target server.
ATTENTION
When restoring Symposium Web Client data, you must
restore data that was backed up from the same release and
version of the software as that which is currently installed
on the application server. For example, if your
application server currently contains Symposium Web
Client Release 4.5 SU03, then you can only restore a
backup of Release 4.5 SU03 data onto this server. You
cannot restore data from previous Service Updates. If you
restore data backed up on previous versions, you will
corrupt your server.
Notes:
You cannot use the application server while restoring data.
You can use the Windows Backup Tool or a similar tool to restore the
Symposium Web Client data. The procedure in this section is based on the
Windows Backup Tool method of restoring data.
When you replicate an instance of ADAM as part of a configuration set,
you must perform an authoritative restore. At the time of writing, you can
find Microsoft’s procedure for performing an authoritative restore in the
section “To restore an ADAM instance” within the procedure “To
authoritatively restore ADAM data on an ADAM instance that belongs to a
configuration set” of the Microsoft ADAM online Help file.
Prerequisites
Before you perform this procedure, you must ensure that the target server has the
following software installed and configured correctly:
Note: Nortel recommends that you install all software in the same directories as
those used on your original application server.
1. On your target server Symposium Web Client installed, shut down the
SymposiumWC service.
2. Perform a restore using the appropriate backup and restore utility.
3. Manually restart the SymposiumWC service.
4. Restore the corresponding registry data.
Note: At this point your Symposium Web Client is operational except for
scheduled information.
5. Reactivate scheduled assignments.
6. If you have Network Control Center (NCC), go to the Configuration
component of Symposium Web Client and reactivate all routing table
scheduled assignments.
ATTENTION
You must shut down the SymposiumWC service before
starting the restoration procedure.
You must also retain the permission properties of the
ADAM data directory and ADAM files if you restore these
files (for example, you must retain permissions such as
“NETWORK SERVICE”). If you do not maintain
permission properties, the SymposiumWC service will not
start.
You must manually restart the SymposiumWC service after
you complete the restoration.
To restore data files using the Veritas Backup Exec 9.1 tool
ATTENTION
Do not install the Veritas Backup 9.1 software on
coresident systems containing Symposium Call Center
Server and Symposium Web Client as it prevents the
NBNM service from starting up. In addition to this
problem, if you use Veritas Backup 9.1 to restore
Symposium Web Client data on a coresident system, it has
an adverse effect on the operation of the system and may
require a complete system rebuild.
Nortel has also tested the Veritas Backup Exec 9.1 tool (build 4691), which can
be used instead of the Microsoft Windows Backup Tool to back up and restore
the Symposium Web Client data. There are several other third-party tools that
can perform a similar function; choose the tool that best suits your organization.
If you use Veritas to restore Symposium Web Client data, you must note the
following:
You must stop the SymposiumWC service prior to restoring from a Veritas
backup file. You must also ensure that Restore over existing files is
selected in the general properties for the restore job. For more information,
consult the Veritas application online Help.
The default installation of Veritas Backup Exec 9.1 uses the TCP port
10000, which is also the default port used by the Symposium Web Client
Toolkit NameService. This conflict results in Symposium Web Client
malfunctioning (administrative changes, such as agent and skillset name
changes, are not updated in real time, requiring you to restart the
ICERTDService to refresh the cache).
To avoid this conflict, before you use Veritas, you must change the default
port that it uses to another port number of your choice (the Symposium
Web Client Toolkit NameService port number cannot be changed at this
time). When changing the port number, you must first investigate the ports
that are currently being used by all the products in your network (both
Nortel and third-party products). Then choose a port that does not cause a
conflict between any of these products.
To avoid potential problems with Veritas Backup Exec 9.1, check
www.seer.support.veritas.com for recommended service packs and consult
www.nortel.com for the latest supported Veritas hotfix and/or service pack
with Contact Center Manager Administration.
Ensure that your version of the Veritas software supports the backup and
restore of the Windows Server 2003 ADAM data files. Nortel has tested
build 4691 of the Backup Exec software.
Ensure that your version of Backup Exec has the Microsoft Volume
Shadow Copy Service installed. When restoring files, you must select
“Shadow Copy Components,” as well as any hard drive components
(Symposium Web Client folders).
When restoring data, you must ensure that “Restore over existing files” is
selected in the general properties for the restore job.
When you restore the Symposium Web Client ADAM files (Shadow Copy
Components), the SymposiumWC service is stopped automatically. You
must manually restart the service after the restoration is complete.
Whenever you perform a partial backup of Symposium Call Center Server, you
must ensure that you also perform a backup of Symposium Web Client.
Furthermore, you must store both backups in the same location.
If you are not upgrading this feature, then you can skip to “Step 12. Install
Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded on the target server” on page 1013.
If you are upgrading the XML Automated Assignments feature, ensure that you
have the Contact Center - Manager Administrator’s Guide on hand for
instructions for using this feature. You can also consult other associated
documentation and engineering/development support resources for the XML
Automated Assignments feature, which are provided only through the Nortel
Developer Program. For information about obtaining the XML Automated
Assignment toolkit, contact a member of the Developer Program through the
Contact Us link on the web site at www.nortel.com/developer.
Note: If you have already installed this software on the server, you can skip to
the next step. See “Step 13. Upgrade the product software” on page 1022 for
details.

fixes in a folder located on the Contact Center - Manager installation DVD.
After you install Contact Center Manager Administration, you must install all
hot fixes in the Contact Center Manager Administration Hot Fix folder to ensure
that Contact Center Manager Administration functions correctly. For details, see
“Step 15. Install required hot fixes for third-party software” on page 1039.

Introduction
This step describes how to upgrade from Release 4.5 SUS0601 v1 of
Symposium Web Client (only when installed on a Windows Server 2003
platform) to Release 6.0 of Contact Center Manager Administration on the same
server.
You cannot use the procedures in this chapter to migrate Symposium Web
Client from a Windows 2000 Server platform to a Windows Server 2003
platform. For details, see Chapter 8, “Migrating SWC 4.5 platform from

Introduction
This step includes procedures for downloading and applying the latest Service
Update and Service Update Supplements for Contact Center Manager
Administration from www.nortel.com/espl.
For further details about downloading and applying Service Updates, Service
Update Supplements, and Designer Patches, see Chapter 13, “Applying Service
Updates, Service Update Supplements, and Designer Patches”.
Note: The numbers of the Service Updates, Service Update Supplements, and
Designer Patches shown in the previous bullets are listed as examples only.
For example, if SU01, SUS0101, SUS0102 are released, SU02 contains SU01,
SUS0101, SUS0102 in the SU02 release.
Note: Designer Patches (DP) address critical issues for specific customers. A
DP is usually posted to a secure location and installed on the recommendation of
a Nortel support technician.
Notes:
You must be logged on to the Contact Center Manager Administration
server as an administrator or as a user with administrator privileges before
you can perform the following procedure.
Before installing the Service Update or Service Update Supplement, Nortel
recommends that you verify the patch level currently installed on the server
by launching the Patch Viewer utility. On the server, click Start > All
Programs > Nortel Contact Center > Manager Administration > Patch
Viewer. You cannot install a patch that is older than an update that is
already installed. Likewise, you cannot install a Service Update
Supplement unless the applicable Service Update is installed.
To download and apply the latest Service Update, you must have a program
installed that can open and extract files with the .zip extension (for
example, WinZip).
7 Click Yes to read the file, or No to proceed directly with the installation.
Notes:
The readme file can contain important information about the update that
you are installing, such as a list of dependent patches, any pre- or
postinstallation tasks that you may have to perform, or the need to stop
any services manually. Nortel recommends that you read the file before
installing the patch.
If you are attempting to install an older version of a Service Update or
Service Update Supplement than that which is currently installed on the
server, the installation is halted and a notification window appears. Click
Cancel to exit the installation. If you require the older Service Update,
then you must manually uninstall the newer patch, and then run the
installation for the older patch again. For details on uninstalling patches,
see “Uninstalling an SU, SUS, or DP,” on page 1584.
8 Click Next.
Result: The Ready to Install window appears.
Notes:
If you are installing a new Service Update on a server that contains an
existing Service Update and perhaps some Service Update
Supplements, the system removes these patches before installing the
new one. The Installed patches found window appears, listing the
current installed patches.
Click Next to remove the patches. When the system has finished
removing the patches, the installation of the new patch proceeds. See
step 9.
The Files in Use window appears if you have files open that the
installation program needs to update. You must close the files shown in
the window, and then click Retry to continue with the upgrade.
9 Click Install.
Result: The Installing window appears, showing you the progress of the
installation.
Introduction
As hot fixes for known issues with third-party software (for example, Sybase,

Introduction
After you have installed Contact Center Manager Administration, you have the
option of adding your Contact Center Manager Administration server to an
existing Windows domain.
If you have already added your Contact Center Manager Administration server
to an existing domain or if you do not want to add your server to an existing
domain, you can skip this step and proceed directly to “Step 17. Add ASP.NET
applications to IIS” on page 1046.
You must add the server to an existing domain in the following scenarios:
If you are installing a replicating server, the replicating server must be
added to the domain of the primary server.
If you are installing a coresident server that includes a Communication
Control Toolkit server, there are some specific scenarios that require the
Contact Center Manager Administration server to be added to an existing
domain. For further information, refer to the Communication Control
Toolkit Installation and Maintenance Guide.
For detailed information about the considerations for placing your Contact
Center Manager Administration in workgroups or domains, refer to Chapter 17,
“Working with domains and workgroups.”
4 In the Computer Name Changes window, you can change the computer’s
name and its domain or workgroup affiliation. To add the server to an
existing domain, click the Domain option button, and then type the name of
the domain (you must provide the fully qualified domain name of the
domain, which includes the prefix and suffix).
5 Click OK.
Result: A window appears asking you for a name and password with
permission to join the domain.
Introduction
In order for the Report Creation Wizard component of Contact Center Manager
Administration to function, IIS must be configured to support ASP.NET
applications.

5 Click OK.
6 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
ATTENTION
The Use Login Warning Message setting is server-specific. If
the Contact Center Manager Server is part of a networked
contact center, this setting needs to be set on each Contact
Center Manager Administration server.
Introduction
For Contact Center Manager Administration’s Real-Time Reporting component
to function properly, you must configure two different IP multicast addresses:
the Contact Center Manager Administration server receiving IP multicast
address (the address it uses to receive multicast data from Contact Center
Manager Server; it is the same as the IP multicast address on Contact
Center Manager Server)
the Contact Center Manager Administration server sending IP multicast
address (the address it uses to send multicast data)
Note: The Contact Center Manager Administration server sending and receiving
IP multicast addresses must be different.
Note: The IP multicast address that the server in Contact Center Manager Server
uses to send data must be configured on Contact Center Manager Server. This
address is listed in the IP Multicast Group box. For details, see the Contact
Center Manager Server Installation and Maintenance Guide.
Note: The unicast communication option applies only between the Contact
Center Manager Administration server and the client PCs. Because the Contact
Center Manager Administration server receives all the raw data from each server
in Contact Center Manager Server through multicast channels, this network
segment must always be multicast-enabled.
Note: If you choose, at a later date, to multicast-enable your entire network, you
may do so without upgrading Contact Center Manager Administration.
This type of data transmission enables users to view nodal real-time displays,
network-consolidated real-time displays, Agent Desktop Display, and
Emergency Help notifications on the client PCs.
Real-time displays viewed on one client PC that use the same data stream share
a single connection to the Contact Center Manager Administration server (for
example, a standard agent display and a private agent display both use the agent
moving window stream and can share a single unicast connection). Therefore,
for n client displays of different statistical types, there are n separate data
streams in operation, which introduces additional traffic on the network.
If a client opens a collection display (six displays in one screen), several unicast
channels are opened from the Contact Center Manager Administration server to
the client computer, one for each statistic type in the collection.
Note: Agent Desktop Display and Emergency Help notifications are not
available on client PCs that only receive unicast data.
4 In the IP Receive Address and IP Send Address boxes, type the correct
address information. The IP Receive address in Contact Center Manager
Administration must be the same as the multicast IP address in Contact
ATTENTION
If the server in Contact Center Manager Server is part of
a networked contact center, all servers in Contact Center
Manager Server within the network must have the same
multicast IP address. The IP Receive address for Contact
Center Manager Administration must match the common
multicast IP addresses of the servers in Contact Center
Manager Server (the address used to send multicast
data).
Note: The IP multicast addresses that you select for RSM sending and
receiving must be within the 224.0.1.0 and 239.255.255.255 range. Check
with your network administrator for acceptable IP multicast addresses for
your specific network.
5 Accept the default values in the Output Rate box (5000) and the
Transform Rate box (1000). You can adjust the default values; however,
reducing the Output Rate value and the Transform Rate value increases
the workload on the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
Note: The fastest rate at which multicast data from Contact Center
Manager Server reaches the end user in Contact Center Manager
Administration is equal to the highest value among the following settings:
the Multicast Rate at which data is sent from Contact Center Manager
Server to the Contact Center Manager Administration server (For more
information about Multicast Rates, see the Nortel Contact Center 6.0
Planning and Engineering Guide.)
the Output Rate at which the Contact Center Manager Administration
server sends data to client PCs
the Transform Rate at which the Contact Center Manager Administration
server processes data
Example
If the Contact Center Manager Server Multicast Rate is set to 2
seconds, the Contact Center Manager Administration server Transform
Rate is set to 1 second, and the Contact Center Manager Administration
server Output Rate is 7 seconds, then the data on the client PC will not
refresh faster than every 7 seconds, regardless of the refresh rate that
the user has chosen in Real-Time Reporting.
If you want to decrease the length of time required for real-time statistics
to reach client PCs, you can decrease the Output Rate and Transform
Rate values; however, this impacts performance on the Contact Center
Manager Administration server. Notify users of the Real-Time Reporting
component of these rates so they can adjust the refresh rate
accordingly. For more information about adjusting rates and assessing
performance, see the Contact Center - Manager CapTool User’s Guide.
6 Accept the default value in the OAM Timeout box (10000).
ATTENTION
You may need to increase the OAM Timeout value if the
following situations occur:
You cannot see any partition elements in the right
pane when creating or viewing a partition in Access
and Partition Management. This can occur when there
is a large amount of data stored on Contact Center
Manager Server and the network is slow.
Your contact center has a large numbers of agents or
skillsets. In this case, it may not be possible to return
a large list of agents or skillsets when viewing a report
using the Historical Reporting component.
If you increase the OAM Timeout value, this provides
more time for the partition elements to be collected on a
per-server basis. Nortel recommends that you increase
this value in increments of 10 000 (milliseconds).
7 Nortel recommends that you leave the Compress Realtime Data Packets
check box selected, which is the default setting. If you clear this check
mark, then you disable real-time data packet compression.
8 In the Transmission Options area, click the button beside the
transmission mode that is required for the site. Choose one of:
Multicast only if your network supports multicast traffic (recommended),
and proceed to step 11.
Unicast only if you do not want any multicast traffic on your network,
and proceed to step 9.
Multicast and Unicast if you want to support both transmission types,
and proceed to step 9.
12 Click OK.
Result: The Restart ICERtdService status window appears while the
service is restarting, and closes after the service has restarted successfully.
13 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
ATTENTION
Nortel recommends that you take note of your Real-Time
Reporting Configuration settings whenever these settings are
changed (for example, after installing or upgrading Contact
Center Manager Administration). If you need to restore your
Contact Center Manager Administration data, you will need to
reconfigure these settings manually.
The Emergency Help component only functions if you are using the multicast
communication method from the Contact Center Manager Administration server
to the client PC.
Note: If you are configuring a replicating server, you must ensure that the
Emergency Help Configuration settings on the replicating server match the
Emergency Help Configuration settings on the primary server.
2 In the left pane, navigate to the Emergency Help folder by clicking the (+)
sign next to the Nortel Networks folder and the (+) sign next to the
Applications folder.
3 In the left pane, click the Emergency Help folder.
Result: The Emergency Help Configuration window appears.
5 In the IP Send Address box, type the IP address to which the Contact
Center Manager Administration server sends Emergency Help information.
This IP Send address can be the same as or different from the IP address
that the Contact Center Manager Administration server uses to send Real-
Time Reporting and Agent Desktop Display data to client PCs.
6 Click the Restart Emergency Help Service check box.
7 Click OK.
Result: The system restarts Emergency Help.
8 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
ATTENTION
Nortel recommends that you take note of your Emergency
Help Configuration settings whenever these settings are
changed (for example, after installing or upgrading Contact
Center Manager Administration). If you need to restore your
Contact Center Manager Administration data, you will need to
reconfigure these settings manually.
Introduction
This step documents procedures for the following tasks:
1. Creating a shared folder for exporting scheduled reports
This task is required if you want to create a shared folder on the Contact
Center Manager Administration server or the client PC so that multiple
users can access scheduled reports from the same folder.
2. Configuring a shared network folder for synchronizing reports
This task is required if you want to synchronize imported reports to
automatically update with changes to the original reports on the network
computer.
Option 1: You can create a shared folder on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server for exporting scheduled reports.
Option 2: You can create a shared folder on the client PC for exporting
scheduled reports.
Note: Granting change and read permissions to the scheduled report account
(that is iceAdmin or domain account) only provides a higher level of security.
However, granting change and read permissions to the Everyone group provides
more flexibility because Contact Center Manager Administration users can
download exported report output files from the shared folder without special
permissions. Choose the option that is most appropriate for the security policy of
your organization.
1. To create a shared target folder with change and read permissions to the
scheduled report account (that is, iceAdmin or domain account), follow the
steps below:
Create a folder on the Contact Center Manager Administration server
that will store the exported scheduled report file from scheduled reports.
Grant change/read permissions to the scheduled report account (that is,
iceAdmin or domain account) on the folder
2. To create a shared folder with change and read permissions to Everyone
account on the Contact Center Manager Administration server, follow these
steps:
Create a folder on the Contact Center Manager Administration server
that will store the exported scheduled report file from scheduled reports.
Right-click on the target folder and grant change/read permissions to
Everyone.
For example, to export scheduled report files to the Contact Center Manager
Administration server, in the Output box on the Report Properties window, type
the path to the shared folder where the report will be sent. The path must have
the format \\<Contact Center Manager Administration server name>\<shared
folder name>\<file name>, without the file extension. That is, if the Contact
Center Manager Administration server computer name is appsrvr, the shared
folder name is reports, and you decide to call the report agent, you type
\\appsrvr\reports\agent in the Output box.
Note: Scheduled reports use the local administrator account named iceAdmin or
the domain account set up by the administrator in the iceAdmin Password
Change Utility to run, print and export the scheduled report.
The reports are exported locally to the shared folder on the Contact Center
Manager Administration server. Contact Center Manager Administration users
require read permission on the Contact Center Manager Administration's shared
folder to copy the exported report files to their desktops/client PCs.
To enable users to access the saved report file, you must grant each user
read/delete access rights to this folder on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server (or alternately, create separate shared folders with read/
delete access for each applicable user). For details about configuring user access
privileges, see the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 documentation.
You can only export scheduled reports to client PCs that are within the same
domain as the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
To export scheduled reports to the client PC, you must first create a shared
folder on the client PC, and grant change and read permissions to the scheduled
reports account group (that is, iceAdmin or the domain account set up by the
administrator using the iceAdmin Password Change Utility).
1. To create a shared target folder with change and read permissions to the
iceAdmin account, follow the steps below:
Click Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Local Users
and Groups > Users.
Create a new user iceAdmin with the same password as on Contact
Center Manager Administration server
Create a folder on the client PC that will store the exported scheduled
report file from the Contact Center Manager Administration scheduled
reports.
Grant change/read permissions to the local iceAdmin account on the
folder
Note: This option will not work when the client PC is outside the domain of the
Contact Center Manager Administration server. In this scenario, you must add
the client PC to the network domain of the Contact Center Manager
Administration server.
To export scheduled report files to a client PC, in the Output box on the Report
Properties window, type the path to the shared folder to which the report will be
sent. The path must have the format \\<client PC computer name>\<shared
folder name>\<file name>, without the file extension. Alternatively, you can
use the Browse button to select your shared folder for export file.
Example: If you want to export the Agent Performance report to a shared folder
on the client PC, and the client PC computer name is clientpc, the shared folder
name is reports, and you decide to call the report agent, you type
\\clientpc\reports\agent in the Output box.
For details about configuring user access privileges, see the Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 documentation. If you require additional information about creating
and mapping folders, see your Microsoft documentation.
However, if you make changes to the original report on the network computer
after you import it into Contact Center Manager Administration, these changes
are not reflected in the imported report unless you select Synchronize report
template from the network drive in the template importing wizard. If you select
this value when importing the report, then, when you subsequently run the
imported report in Contact Center Manager Administration (either ad hoc or
scheduled), the system checks the network folder in which the original report is
stored to see if any changes have been made to it. If the original report has
changed, then the system synchronizes these changes with the imported report
before running it. This process is automatic and invisible to the user.
If you have made changes to several original reports after importing them into
Contact Center Manager Administration, you can manually synchronize the
changes with the imported reports all at once by using the Synchronize User
Imported Report Templates window in Contact Center Manager Administration.
In this window, when you click Submit, the system synchronizes the changes
that you have made to all original reports stored in shared folders on a network
PC with the copies stored on the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
However, because this may be a lengthy process (based on the number of
reports), and to avoid corrupting any existing reports, Nortel recommends that
you do so only when no reports are running (either ad hoc or scheduled).
Before you can use the report synchronization feature, you must set up the
shared folder on the network PC with the appropriate access privileges
according to your organization’s security policy.
ATTENTION
When the Contact Center Manager Administration server is
part of a network domain, the user imported reports (only
when run as scheduled reports) might not be synchronized
automatically because the Contact Center Manager
Administration server account that is used for scheduled
reports, iceAdmin, might not have access to the network
directory. In this scenario, to synchronize the affected user
imported reports, follow the procedure “To manually
synchronize changes made to user imported templates” in
the Contact Center Manager Administration online Help, or
run the report ad hoc whenever the original report template
is modified on the source network location.
or
You can share the folder with read permissions for the IUSR_SWC and
iceAdmin accounts (these accounts are used by the Contact Center Manager
Administration server). For details, see “Option 2: Share the folder with
read permissions for the IUSR_SWC and iceAdmin accounts (these

Introduction
The .NET Framework version 1.1 and .NET service pack 1 must be installed on
the client machines before you can run an application such as the Agent Desktop
application or the Outbound Campaign Management Tool.
Note: You cannot install two different language versions of the .NET
Framework on the same machine. If you want to view .NET Framework
applications in a different language, you must download the appropriate
language version of the .NET Framework language pack.
You also need to add the Contact Center Multimedia server to the list of servers
that are administered by Contact Center Manager Administration. For details
about installing the Contact Center Multimedia server, refer to the Nortel
Contact Center Multimedia Installation and Maintenance Guide. For details
about adding the Contact Center Multimedia server to the list of servers
administered by Contact Center Manager Administration using the
Configuration component, refer to the Nortel Contact Center Manager -
Administrator’s Guide.
If you will not be using the Outbound Campaign Management Tool component,
you can skip this step and proceed directly to “Step 36. Log on to Contact Center
Manager Administration” on page 1152.
5 Verify that the version is 1.1.4322. If this version is not correct, you must
install the latest version of the Microsoft .NET Framework.

agreement on the server utility.
Note: If you upgraded your Contact Center Manager Server at the same time,
you will need to upgrade the license agreement in Server Utility. For details, see
“Step 37. Download controls to the client,” on page 1158.
Note: You must also refresh your servers after an upgrade. For details, see “Step
31. Refresh your servers,” on page 1140.
ATTENTION
When you change the webadmin password, you
must ensure that you do not lose or forget the new
password or you cannot log on to Contact Center
Manager Administration as the webadmin
administrator. In this case, you must uninstall and
reinstall Contact Center Manager Administration to
reinstate the original webadmin user account with
the default password.
Tip: To avoid this scenario, immediately after
installing Contact Center Manager Administration,
log on to the Contact Center Manager Administration
server as webadmin, and create a new administrator
account of your choice (for example, tempadmin),
giving this user account Access and Partition
Management rights. This way, if you lose or forget
your new webadmin password, you can still log on to
the Contact Center Manager Administration server as
tempadmin and change the webadmin password. For
more information about adding Contact Center
Manager Administration users, see the online Help.

Step 39. Configure active and standby servers for ADD (optional) 1176
Introduction
This section includes the following procedure for upgrading Agent Desktop
Display on agent workstations:
Upgrading Agent Desktop Display 4.5 client PCs to Release 6.0 This
procedure involves automatically upgrading the Agent Desktop Display 4.5
client PCs to Release 6.0.
6 From the list, choose the language in which you want to upgrade Agent
Desktop Display. You can choose from English, French, German,
Japanese, and Traditional Chinese.
Note: On coresident servers that contain Contact Center Manager Server,
Contact Center Manager Administration, and Communication Control
Toolkit, the only supported language version of the Windows Server 2003
operating system is English. If the coresident server contains only Contact
Center Manager Server and Contact Center Manager Administration, then
it only supports English, Japanese, and Traditional Chinese.
Note: For more information about Agent Desktop Display and multiple
language support, see “To configure multiple language support in Agent
Desktop Display” on page 312.
7 Click OK.
Result: The system prepares for setup and displays the Welcome to the
InstallShield Wizard for Agent Desktop Display window.
8 Click Next.
Note: If an application is running on the client whose files must be updated
by the InstallShield, a Files in Use window appears. You must close any
applications listed in this window, and then click Retry.
Result: The system copies the necessary files, and then installation
begins. When you are upgrading from a previous version of Agent Desktop
Display, you cannot change the server IP addresses during the upgrade.
Instead, the program uses the IP addresses that you originally chose. To
change these addresses, after the client software is installed, use the
Server IP Addresses window in the application. When the upgrade is
complete, the InstallShield Wizard Completed window appears.
9 Click Finish.
Result: The system may prompt you to restart your system.
10 If required by your network security policy, turn your proxy settings back on
after upgrading Agent Desktop Display.
Introduction
If you have standby servers installed in your network, Agent Desktop Display
6.0 includes a new feature which allows you to configure the IP address or
hostname of active and standby servers for Contact Center Manager
Administration and Contact Center Manager Server.
This feature allows agents to easily switch between active and standby servers as
required by their network administrator. This simplifies the recovery procedures
in the event of a failure on the active server requiring a cutover to a standby
server.
In the Contact Center Manager Server: Active text box, type the IP
address or hostname of the active Contact Center Manager Server. This
field is required.
If you have installed a standby Contact Center Manager Administration
server, type the IP address or hostname of the standby Contact Center
Manager Administration server in the Contact Center Manager
Administration: Standby text box. This field is optional.
If you have installed a standby Contact Center Manager Server, type
the IP address or hostname of the standby Contact Center Manager
Server in the Contact Center Manager Server: Standby text box. This
field is optional.
Note:
The IP multicast addresses that you select for RSM sending and
receiving must be within the 224.0.1.0 and 239.255.255.255 range.
Check with your network administrator for acceptable IP multicast
addresses for your specific network.
When typing the IP address of Contact Center Manager Server, if you
are installing Agent Desktop Display on a Terminal Services/Citrix
server, keep in mind that all agents who use Agent Desktop Display
from this particular server must be configured on the same server in
Contact Center Manager Server.
4 Click Save.
5 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
What’s next
If you have been using Symposium Call Center Server 5.0 administered by at
least one Classic Client and you are planning to upgrade your Symposium Call
Center Server 5.0 to Contact Center Manager Server 6.0, you must migrate your
Classic Client data to Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0. For details,
see Section F: “Migrate Classic Client,” on page 1179.

Overview
Introduction
This section describes how to migrate the following Classic Client data to
Contact Center Manager Administration:
Filter sets
Historical reports
Real-time displays
Graphical real-time displays
Agent-skillset and agent-supervisor scheduled assignments
User types
Network Control Center (NCC) routing table scheduled assignments
This chapter also describes how to remove associated supervisors from Classic
Client.
The procedures in this chapter are only required if you have been using
Symposium Call Center Server 5.0 administered by at least one Classic Client
and plan to upgrade your Symposium Call Center Server 5.0 to Contact Center
Manager Server 6.0.
Because Contact Center Manager Server 6.0 does not support Classic Client, if
you have been using Classic Client to administer your Symposium Call Center
Server, you will need to migrate your Classic Client data to Contact Center
Manager Administration 6.0.
If you are a new user to Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0 and Contact
Center Manager Server and do not have any Classic Clients in your network, you
do not need to perform the procedures in this chapter.
Migration Checklist
With the filter sets feature, you can elect the sites and resources to be included in
a network-consolidated report. After you create and save a filter set, you can
apply it to both standard and private network-consolidated historical reports to
view only the information that you specify in the generated report. When you
connect to a Contact Center Manager Server and open a network-consolidated
report, the Selection Criteria area includes a list of the available network sites
and any available filter sets that you define and save.
You can use filter sets migrated from the Classic Client in Contact Center
Manager Administration. While each of the Classic Client filter sets contains
only one type of data – either skillsets, applications, route numbers, route names,
Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) numbers, or DNIS names – you
can add different types of data to these filter sets after you import them into
Contact Center Manager Administration by using the filter sets tabs in Historical
Reporting.
With the Filter Set Upgrade Tool, you can reuse existing Classic Client filter
sets. Use the tool to:
retrieve the existing filter set information from the Network Control Center
master database (MDB).
reformat and save filter sets in the Active Directory.
Classic Client:
Stores all user-defined and user-created reports on supervisors’ PCs
running Classic Client or on a network PC designated by supervisor.
Stores and controls all schedules on the Symposium Call Center Server.
These schedules trigger the running of reports on the Classic Client.
You must migrate user-created reports and user-defined reports from Classic
Client to Contact Center Manager Administration:
User-created reports are customer report templates created with Crystal
Reports and imported into Classic Client. User-created reports and their
schedules can be migrated from the Classic Client if they were created
using Crystal Reports software (version 9.0 or earlier). You can migrate the
following types of user-created reports: Historical, Configuration, and
Parameterized reports.
User-defined reports are user reports saved from the standard Classic
Client reports, such as the Agent Performance report. Contact Center
Manager Administration also provides the same set of standard reports.
Migrating user-defined reports involves re-creating the report manually
using the same standard template that exists on Contact Center Manager
Administration, specifying the same criteria, and saving it.
Notes:
User-created reports cannot be migrated if they were created with any other
ODBC or Structured Query Language (SQL) compliant writer. These
reports must be recreated in Contact Center Manager Administration.
If your reports are scheduled reports, you must schedule each report in Contact
Center Manager Administration and remove the schedule from the Symposium
Server through the Classic Client. If the schedule is not removed from the
Symposium Call Center Server, the report runs twice if the Classic Client is
installed and the report listener is running.
7. Delete the user-created report from the Symposium Call Center Server. For
details, see “To delete user-defined or user-created reports from Classic
Client,” on page 1198.
2 Select the Contact Center Manager Server from which you want to run the
report (for example, the Galway server).
Result: The server expands to reveal a choice between public, private, and
any group folders created.
Notes:
If this box is selected at the time of import, the Contact Center Manager
Administration server synchronizes the user-created reports from the
source network drive every time you modify the report using Crystal
Reports on the network drive. This means if you modify your source
report template on the network drive/PC, you do not need to import the
report to the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
To use this option, ensure the network PC is preconfigured to use it.
See the Contact Center Manager Administration Installation and
Maintenance Guide or contact your administrator for details.
9 Enter the timestamp field (if the timestamp field is not in the correct format,
the report does not run).
10 Select the Report Data Range option. The choices are Interval, Daily,
Weekly, and Monthly.
11 Click Next.
12 Click Finish.
Result: The report is added to the list in the Reports window.
Notes:
If you select the Configuration option, you do not need to specify an
alias.
To determine the alias of a database, open the report in Crystal Reports
and choose Database > Set Alias.
The Timestamp field is not required for a configuration report.
Refer to the Contact Center Manager Administration online Help for more
information about importing reports.
4 Double-click Scheduler.
Result: All of the reports currently scheduled are displayed. Make note of
the reports and their schedules for migration.
Scheduling reports
Note: For more information about scheduling reports, see the Contact Center -
Manager Supervisor’s Guide.
ATTENTION
The schedule time that you specify is based on the
time zone that you choose. However, the system
translates the schedule time that you enter to the time
zone in which the Contact Center Manager
Administration server is located. The report is
generated at the time and in the time zone you specify,
but the timestamp at the bottom of the generated
report reflects the Contact Center Manager
Administration server time. For more information about
time zones, see the Supervisor’s Reference Guide for
Symposium Web Client 4.5. This document is posted
on the web site www.nortel.com.
You can also specify one or more e-mail addresses to which the system can send
notification that the report has been generated successfully, or that there were
problems preventing the report from being generated. If the system cannot
generate the report, the e-mail notification contains possible reasons for the
failure, enabling you to repair the problem and generate the report again.
Note: If you choose to print the report to a file, you must specify a shared folder
to which the Contact Center Manager Administration server sends the output
file. This folder can be on your computer, on another computer in the network,
or on the Contact Center Manager Administration server. If the folder that you
specify is on a computer other than the Contact Center Manager Administration
server, the computer must be within the same domain as the Contact Center
Manager Administration server.
If you want to send a scheduled report to a printer, ensure that your
administrator has configured a default printer on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server. If a default printer has not been defined, then you can
only send reports to a file.
1 Click the print check box or the output to file check box, or both.
2 To print the report:
from the Printer list, select the printer to which you want to print the
scheduled report.
From the Paper Size list, select the appropriate paper size for the
printed report.
3 To send the report to a file, in the Output box, type the path to the shared
output folder. The path must have the format \\[computer name]\[shared
folder name]\[file name], without the file extension.
Example: You want to send the Agent Performance report to a shared
folder on the Contact Center Manager Administration server. The Contact
Center Manager Administration server computer name is appsrvr, the
shared folder name is reports, and you decide to call the report agent. You
type \\appsrvr\reports\agent in the Output box.
Note: Click the Save file under different name each time check box if
you want the system to save the report with a different name each time it is
generated. If you do not check this box, the system overwrites previously
generated reports with the updated versions every time a report is
generated.
4 From the Format list, select the export file format that you want to use.
5 Click the Send notification e-mail to check box if you want the system to
notify you when the report has been generated.
6 Enter one or more e-mail addresses in the box. You can type a maximum of
255 characters in the box with each e-mail address separated by a semi-
colon (;).
7 Click Submit.
Result: The report is saved.
8 Click Activate.
Result: The report schedule is activated.

Introduction
In Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0, the partitions feature replaces
the Classic Client concept of associated supervisors. If you migrate from Classic
Client to Contact Center Manager Administration, the associated supervisors
may block a deletion of a supervisor. For this reason, Nortel recommends that
you remove associated supervisors from Classic Client when migrating to
Contact Center Manager Administration.
Note: If this step is not performed, Contact Center Manager Administration will
remove the secondary supervisor assignment when the supervisor is deleted.

Overview
Introduction
If you want to migrate your Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0 to a
new server, you must perform the following tasks:
1. Back up Contact Center Manager Administration data on the existing
server (the source server)
2. Install Contact Center Manager Administration on the new server (target
server)
3. Restore your Contact Center Manager Administration data from your
source server backup file to the target server
ATTENTION
To migrate Contact Center Manager Administration to a new
server, you must install the same version of Contact Center
Manager Administration and the same Service Update as is
installed on the source server.
In this section
Step 1. Ensure target server meets all CCMA 6.0 requirements 1228
Step 2. Read relevant documentation for performing a new installation 1229
Before you begin the a migration to a new server, Nortel recommends you
complete the Required Installation Information checklist. This checklist is found
in the Contact Center 6.0 Installer’s Roadmap and contains important
information that you will need when performing the installation.
In this section
Step 3. Perform a full backup of the source server 1232
Step 4. Back up the Nortel data files on the source server 1233
Step 5. Back up Real-Time Reporting and Emergency Help 1246
Introduction
Before performing the migration procedure or performing any significant
upgrade of the application server, Nortel recommends that you make a
complete backup of the entire Contact Center Manager Administration
server including Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM), by using the
Microsoft Windows backup method, or by using a proven third-party backup
tool of your choice. A full backup of the source server allows regression of
the source server back to its original state, if required.
During the backup procedure, you must ensure that no data is changed between
the back up of Active Directory and the data files. Therefore, Nortel
recommends that you perform backups during periods of low activity.
For details about creating full backups of the application server, refer to
Microsoft documentation or the documentation of the third-party backup tool of
your choice.
Introduction
After you perform a full backup of the source server, create a backup of the
individual Nortel data files that are stored outside of Active Directory
Application Mode (ADAM) on the source server. Nortel recommends that you
back up the individual Nortel files in addition to performing a full backup of the
source server as this will create a more manageable backup file containing only
the data files that need to be restored to the target server.
The data files that are stored outside of ADAM that you must back up before
performing the full platform migration procedure include the following:
Historical report data
Real-time display snapshots
Emergency Help snapshots
Schedule data
These files must be restored on to the target server in order to complete the
migration between servers.
Choose the backup method that is most appropriate for your organization. For
details about each of the backup options, see “Backing up Contact Center
Manager Administration data files,” on page 1671.
Option 1: To back up data using the Nortel Backup and Restore utility
1 On the Contact Center Manager Administration server, click Start > All
Programs > Nortel Contact Center > Manager Administration >
Configuration.
Result: The Nortel Configuration window appears.
4 On the Backup tab, review the default location of the backup file,
Restore.bkf. This is the file that the utility creates when you back up the
Contact Center Manager Administration files. The file contains a snapshot
of all Contact Center Manager Administration files that you back up. To
change the default name or location of this file, click Browse, and then
navigate to the location in which you want to store the file, and type a new
file name, if desired. When you are satisfied with the location of this file,
click Next.
Result: The Schedule page appears.
5 Click the backup schedule type that you want to perform. You can choose
from:
Daily (to schedule recurring backups once a day)
Weekly (to schedule recurring backups once a week)
Monthly (to schedule recurring backups once a month)
One Time Only (to schedule a one-time-only backup at a time in the
future)
Run Now (to back up files as soon as a valid username and password
are entered)
Result: Based on your selection, a new window appears, allowing you to
define your selected backup schedule.
6 When you have defined the backup schedule, click Next.
Note: When scheduling the monthly option, if you schedule the backup to
take place on a date that does not exist, then the backup is not performed
for that month. For example, the selection “31st day of every month” is
invalid because there are only 28 days in February. The Backup and
Restore utility only allows a task to be scheduled on the last day of the
month containing the least number of days. For example, if you want the
backup to run in every month, then you can only schedule it to occur on day
28. However, if you clear February, then the last day of a monthly schedule
is 30. If you clear April, June, September, and November, then the last day
of a monthly schedule is 31.
Result: Two new boxes appear in the Backup tab, prompting you to enter a
username and password.
7 Type a valid administrator username and password for the server, and then
click Finish.
Note: You must enter a valid username and password (that is, any
username and password that are configured with administrative privileges
on the server). If you do not enter a valid username and password, a
window appears prompting you to reenter a valid username and password.
If this happens, click OK and reenter a valid username and password.
Result: The system backs up the required files at the time you specified
and stores the backup in the Restore.bkf file in the default location (or in the
custom file name and location that you have chosen). For details about
restoring the information in this file, see “Option 1: Restoring Contact
Center Manager Administration data with the Nortel Backup and Restore
utility,” on page 1463.
If you want to back up your files to a network drive, you must map a drive
letter to the network destination to which you want to back up your files. If
you have mapped a drive letter to a network drive, Backup displays it in the
Backup destination for the backup window.
6 In Backup media or file name, do one of the following:
If you are backing up files and folders to a file, type a path and file name
for the backup (.bkf) file, or click the Browse button to find a file.
If you are backing up files and folders to a tape, choose the tape you
want to use.
7 Click Start Backup.
Result: The Backup Job Information window appears.
8 Click Start Backup.
Result: The Backup Progress window appears and informs you when the
backup operation is finished.
9 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
If you want to be able to schedule backups, then you must ensure that your
backup tool lets you back up all these types of files without requiring you to
manually copy any of them.
For further details about using the Windows Backup Tool or other backup
strategies, consult the Microsoft documentation at www.microsoft.com.
ATTENTION
Do not install the Veritas Backup 9.1 software on
coresident systems containing Contact Center Manager
Server and Contact Center Manager Administration as it
prevents the NBNM service from starting up. In addition
to this problem, if you use Veritas Backup 9.1 to restore
Contact Center Manager Administration data on a
coresident system, it has an adverse effect on the
operation of the system and may require a complete
system rebuild.
If you use Veritas to back up Contact Center Manager Administration data, you
must note the following:
The default installation of Veritas Backup Exec uses the TCP port 10000,
which is also the default port used by the Contact Center Manager
Administration Toolkit NameService. This conflict results in Contact
Center Manager Administration malfunctioning (administrative changes,
such as agent and skillset name changes, are not updated in real time,
requiring you to restart the ICERTDService to refresh the cache).
To avoid this conflict, before you use Veritas, you must change the default
port that it uses to another port number of your choice (the Contact Center
Manager Administration Toolkit NameService port number cannot be
changed at this time). When changing the port number, you must first
investigate the ports that are currently being used by all the products in your
network (both Nortel and third-party products). Then, choose a port that
does not cause a conflict between any of these products. For a list of ports
used by Contact Center Manager Administration, see Contact Center
For more detailed information, consult the online Help on the Veritas web site at
www.veritas.com.
In addition to the files listed in these folders, you must also back up any files that
you have saved on the server for Contact Center Manager Administration
operations, such as custom report templates, Historical Reporting output files, or
snapshots of real-time displays and Emergency Help panels. The locations of
these files are decided by the user. The default paths are listed below:
Real-time display snapshots are stored as HTML files in the following
default path:
<x>:\Program Files\Nortel Networks\WClient\Apps\Reporting\Realtime\
Exports
Emergency Help snapshots are stored as HTML files in the following
default path:
<x>:\Program Files\Nortel
Networks\WClient\Apps\EmergencyHelp\Exports
Finally, to manually back up ADAM instance files, take a copy of the following
directory and its contents:
Introduction
There are two Contact Center Manager Administration configuration settings
that are stored in the Windows Registry:
Real-Time Reporting configuration settings (IP Send and IP Receive
Addresses)

Introduction
Use the checklists in this section to install and configure Windows Server 2003
Enterprise or Standard Edition correctly for Contact Center Manager
Administration.
Nortel recommends that you do not upgrade your operating system on the
Contact Center Manager Administration server to Windows 2003 from a
previous version of Windows. For example, if your server has Windows NT or
Windows 2000 installed, remove the drive partitions and reformat the hard
drives on the server. Next, perform a new installation of Windows Server 2003
Enterprise or Standard Edition on the server using the “Windows Server 2003
installation checklist” on page 1254. Installing the operating system on a clean
server eliminates the possibility of carrying over incorrect settings from the
previous Windows installation.
For more information on domain group polices, refer to Chapter 17, “Working
with domains and workgroups.”
Notes:
Nortel recommends that you do not upgrade your operating system on the
application server to Windows 2003 from a previous version of Windows.
For example, if your server has Windows NT or Windows 2000 installed -
remove the drive partitions and reformat the hard drives on the server. Then
perform a new installation of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise or Standard
Edition on the server. Removing the previous operating system eliminates
the possibility of carrying over incorrect settings from the previous
Windows installation.
To minimize the risk of postinstallation issues due to misconfiguration,
Nortel recommends that you install the operating system from the original
operating system CD-ROM, following the instructions in the following
installation checklist. If you choose to install the operating system from a
disk-cloned image, then you must ensure that the image is taken from an
installation for which all instructions in the following checklist were
After creating the partition, the system copies Windows Server 2003 files to ❑
the hard drive. When the copy process is complete, the system restarts.
ATTENTION
Incorrectly modifying a host table on the Contact Center
Manager Administration server can cause extensive network
problems. Before you modify host tables, you must review
the detailed information on HOSTS in the supporting
documentation for Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
1 Browse to the sample HOSTS tables are provided with the Windows Server
2003 installation in the following directory:
<x>:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc
2 Double-click the HOSTS file and open the file with a text editor (for example
Notepad) to modify the host tables.
ATTENTION
You do not have to use host tables for name resolution if
the names of the servers in Contact Center Manager
Server and the NCC server names are registered on a
DNS server.
Result: The text editor displays the HOSTS table. The HOSTS table
consists of a list of IP addresses followed by a computer name. A sample
HOSTS table is provided below as a guideline, but is not intended to
indicate exactly how the HOSTS tables should be configured on the
Contact Center Manager Administration server.
3 At the end of the file, type the IP address and computer name of
each Contact Center Manager Server
each Network Control Center Server (NCCs)
Note: Separate the two values by using the space or the tab key. HOSTS
tables are case-sensitive.
Introduction
Given the number of operating system security patches and the complexity
inherent in any network, Nortel recommends that you create a systematic and
accountable process for identifying and applying patches.
To help create such a process, you can follow a series of best practices
guidelines, as documented in the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) Special Bulletin 800-40, Procedures for Handling Security Patches.
This bulletin suggests that if an organization does not have a centralized group
to coordinate the storage, evaluation, and chronicling of security patches into a
library, system administrators or the contact centre administrator must fulfil this
role.
Nortel recommends that you follow the security guidelines for Contact Center
Manager Administration, and refer to the latest Contact Center Portfolio Service
Packs Compatibility and Security Hotfixes Applicability List, available at
www.nortel.com.
Introduction
Internet Information Services (IIS) must be installed on the application server
before you install Contact Center Manager Administration. If you did not install
the IIS component during the installation and configuration of Windows Server
2003, perform the following procedure now.
If you have already installed IIS with SMTP and ASP.NET on the application
server, you can proceed to “Step 8. Ensure the computer name and DNS host
name match,” on page 1267.
Introduction
You must ensure that your server computer name and DNS host name match
exactly, including uppercase and lowercase letters.
A mismatch in these names can occur, for example, if you perform a new
installation of the operating system and enter the computer name in uppercase
letters. Windows uses your entry to set both the computer name and the DNS
host name. However, after the operating system installation is complete, you
may find that Windows has set the DNS host name in uppercase letters as you
entered it, but that the computer name is set in all lowercase letters. Use the
following procedures to check the names and, if necessary, change them.
4 Write down the Full computer name exactly as it appears, including case.
Note: Ignore the period at the end of the Full computer name.
5 Click Change.
Result: The Computer Name Changes window appears.
6 Click More.
Result: The DNS Suffix and NetBIOS Computer Name window appears.
7 Compare the NetBIOS computer name on this window with the Full
computer name that you wrote down to determine whether the names
match exactly, including case.
8 Do one of the following:
z If the names match, close the windows you opened and continue with
the configuration of your server.
z If the names do not match, complete the procedure “To update the
computer name to match the DNS host name,” on page 1271.
Introduction
You have the option of adding your Contact Center Manager Administration
server to an existing Active Directory Application Mode domain.
You must add the server to an existing domain in the following scenarios:
If you are installing a replicating server, the replicating server must be
added to the domain of the primary server.
If you are installing a coresident server that includes a Communication
Control Toolkit server, there are some scenarios that require the application
server to be added to an existing domain. For further information, refer to
the Communication Control Toolkit Installation and Maintenance Guide.
For detailed information on the considerations for placing your Contact Center
Manager Administration in workgroups or domains, refer to Chapter 17,
“Working with domains and workgroups.”
4 Click the Domain option button, and then type the name of the domain.
Note: You must provide the fully qualified domain name of the domain,
which includes the prefix and suffix.
5 Click OK.
Result: A window appears asking you for a name and password with
permission to join the domain.
If you are using a single network interface card for a coresident installation, or if
your Contact Center Manager Administration server is a separate server with
only one network interface card, you can ignore this step and go directly to “Step
11. Install your remote support access tool” on page 1278.
If the Contact Center Manager Administration server has more than one network
interface card, you must configure the bindings order so that the Nortel Server
subnet network interface card comes first.
4 In the Connections box, make sure that the Nortel Server subnet
connection is listed first. If it is not first, adjust the order.
5 Click OK.
Introduction
Nortel recommends that you install and configure a remote support access tool
prior to installing Contact Center Manager Administration so that you can
access technical support during the installation procedure, if required.
Nortel personnel use pcAnywhere 11.5 as the preferred remote support access
tool. To install and configure the Host Only version of pcAnywhere version 11.5
on the Contact Center Manager Administration server, refer to “Installing and
configuring pcAnywhere 11.5 as your remote support access tool,” on page
1279. If you have a previous version of pcAnywhere installed on the Contact
Center Manager Administration server, consult the Symantec web site
(www.symantec.com) to find out whether you must uninstall your version before
installing pcAnywhere 11.5.
Note: Nortel recommends that you only install one of the supported remote
access tools (pcAnywhere or Remote Desktop Connection for Administration)
on the Contact Center Manager Administration server, not both.
One licensed copy of pcAnywhere version 11.5 for host computers only is
provided for the server on the Contact Center Manager installation DVD. This
software license lets you configure the server as the host computer in remote
control sessions (that is, the computer to which remote computers connect).
Use the Windows Add/Remove Programs utility in the Control Panel to install
the pcAnywhere 11.5 software. For compatibility with Contact Center Manager
Administration, ensure that you install the Host Only version of the software.
Note: If you are upgrading from a previous version of the software and the
installation wizard asks if you want to preserve configuration data, select No.
Configuration data from previous versions of pcAnywhere is incompatible with
pcAnywhere version 11.5.
ATTENTION
If you are installing Contact Center Manager
Administration on its own, do not follow the installation
and configuration procedures for a stand-alone server in the
Contact Center Manager Server documentation.
However, if you are installing Contact Center Manager
Administration on a coresident server with Contact Center
Manager Server, then you can use the installation of
pcAnywhere that has already been completed through the
Contact Center Manager Server installation. In this case, you
do not need to follow the instructions in this section.
CAUTION
Before you install pcAnywhere version 11.5, ensure that the video
drivers on the Contact Center Manager Administration server PC
are current by consulting the driver manufacturers’ web sites for
any available updates. Failure to do so can result in the appearance
of a blue screen after pcAnywhere installation or after use of
pcAnywhere for operations such as file transfer. For more
information, refer to the pcAnywhere web site at
www.symantec.com.
ATTENTION
If the following message appears, it indicates that your video
driver is incompatible with pcAnywhere: pcAnywhere
detected and fixed a display driver problem.
Please restart your computer to allow the
change to take effect. In this case, you must uninstall
pcAnywhere, update your video driver, and then reinstall
pcAnywhere.
If, during the pcAnywhere configuration, you get a message indicating that you
do not have the rights to modify a setting or create a new caller, use the
following procedure to change the Windows User access rights for pcAnywhere
files.
Note: If you are using a modem connection with pcAnywhere, you must have
the modem configured before you perform this procedure.
1 Log on to the server as Administrator.

Introduction
ATTENTION
If you are installing Contact Center Manager
Administration on a coresident server with Contact
Center Manager Server, then Sybase Open Client
version 12.5 is already installed and you can skip
this step. Likewise, you do not need to verify the
version of Sybase that is installed, nor do you need
to update the Sybase 12.5 Open Database
Connectivity (ODBC) driver. In this case, you can
proceed directly to “Step 13. Install the Crystal
Enterprise 10 Embedded software,” on page 1306.
Note: If you have Sybase version 12.0 installed on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server, then you can perform an upgrade to Sybase version 12.5
using the following procedure. If you have a version of Sybase earlier than 12.0
installed on the Contact Center Manager Administration server, then you must
uninstall it before you install version 12.5. For information about uninstalling
the software, see the documentation posted on the Sybase web site at
www.sybase.com.
After you install Sybase Open Client version 12.5, you must update the Sybase
Open Client driver. For details, see “To update the Sybase ODBC driver” on
page 1302.
4 In the System variables box, locate the Sybase software entries. For
example, if Sybase Open Client version 12.0 is installed on the server, the
list displays SYBASE_OCS: OCS_12_0, and for Sybase Open Client
version 12.5, the list displays SYBASE_OCS: OCS_12_5.
5 If the list displays SYBASE_OCS: OCS_12_5, Sybase Open Client version
12.5 is installed and you can skip to “Step 13. Install the Crystal Enterprise
10 Embedded software,” on page 1306. If you do not see a Sybase
software entry, or if the list displays SYBASE_OCS: OCS_12_0, you must
install Sybase Open Client version 12.5 by following the procedure “To
install Sybase Open Client version 12.5 or upgrade from version 12.0,” on
page 1297.
Note: Contact Center Manager Administration only functions with Sybase Open
Client 12.5. If the Contact Center Manager Administration server already has a
version of Sybase installed that is newer than version 12.5, then you must
uninstall it completely before installing version 12.5. For information about
uninstalling Sybase software, see “To uninstall Sybase Open Client” on page
1506.
2 Click Exit.
3 In Windows Explorer, browse to the folder Sybase, located in the CCMA
folder of the Contact Center Manager installation DVD.
6 If you are installing the software for the first time, type a location in which to
install the software, or accept the default location shown. Nortel
recommends that when you are upgrading from Sybase 12.0, you type the
same folder in which the Sybase software is currently installed. For
example, if the software is installed on drive E in a folder called Sybase,
type E:\Sybase. If you do not know this location, type a new location in
ATTENTION
When choosing a custom location in which to install
the Sybase software, do not choose a directory name
that contains a space. For example, do not choose
D:\Program Files\Sybase because the Sybase
installation program cannot process the space in
“Program Files.”
7 Click Next.
Result: The Summary window appears and displays the components
being installed.
8 Click Next.
Result: The Create Directory window appears and prompts you to confirm
the name of the directory to which the files will be copied.

Result: The Installing window appears and displays a status bar while the
system installs the program.
10 If you are upgrading to Sybase version 12.5, the system asks if you want to
overwrite the following existing Sybase.DLL files. Click Yes when prompted
to replace or reinstall these Sybase files:
replace mchelp.dll version 12.0 with version 12.5.0.0
replace mclib.dll version 12.0 with version 12.5.0.0
replace Language Modules version 12.0 with version 12.5
reinstall Component Sybase Central 3.2.0
If the system prompts you to replace the optional Power Dynamo file, you
can click either Yes or No. Because the file is optional, your choice does
not affect the Sybase installation. If you choose to replace the optional
Power Dynamo file, replace version 3.0.0 with version 3.5.2.
If the system prompts you to replace any other DLLs, including system
DLLs, such as msvcrt40.dll version 4.20, click No. Do not replace any
system DLLs.
Note: Click OK if a window with the following message appears:
COMCTL32.DLL - The system does not need this update.
Result: When the installation is complete, the Sybase Installer
Confirmation window appears and prompts you to restart the system before
configuring the installed components.
11 Click Yes.
Result: This can take several minutes. Do not attempt to manually restart
the system. When restarting, log on as a user with administrator privileges.
After the system restarts, the Information window appears and confirms the
Sybase installation.

12 Click OK.
13 Close the Control Panel window. Continue with the following procedure,
“To update the Sybase ODBC driver.”
ATTENTION
If you are installing Contact Center Manager Administration
on a coresident server with Contact Center Manager Server,
then the Sybase OBDC driver is already updated and you can
proceed directly to “Step 13. Install the Crystal Enterprise 10
Embedded software,” on page 1306. The Contact Center
Manager Server uses the ODBC driver version 4.10.00.41.
Therefore, Nortel recommends that you do not install
EBF11113 as part of the Contact Center Manager
Administration installation as it will overwrite the OBDC
version used by Contact Center Manager Server and can
impact operation of the Contact Center Manager Server.
Notes:
If you already have Sybase Open Client 12.5 installed on the Contact
Center Manager Administration server and are upgrading Contact Center
Manager Administration from one build to the next build, then you must
update the Sybase Open Client 12.5 ODBC driver before you upgrade the
Contact Center Manager Administration software.
For further instructions, see the instructions.txt file, which is located in the
EBF11113 folder on the Contact Center Manager installation DVD.

5 Click OK.
6 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
ATTENTION
The Use Login Warning Message setting is server-specific. If
the Contact Center Manager Server is part of a networked
contact center, this setting needs to be set on each Contact
Center Manager Administration server.
Introduction
For Contact Center Manager Administration’s Real-Time Reporting component
to function properly, you must configure two different IP multicast addresses:
the Contact Center Manager Administration server receiving IP multicast
address (the address it uses to receive multicast data from Contact Center
Manager Server; it is the same as the IP multicast address on Contact
Center Manager Server)
the Contact Center Manager Administration server sending IP multicast
address (the address it uses to send multicast data)
Note: The Contact Center Manager Administration server sending and receiving
IP multicast addresses must be different.
Note: The IP multicast address that the server in Contact Center Manager Server
uses to send data must be configured on Contact Center Manager Server. This
address is listed in the IP Multicast Group box. For details, see the Contact
Center Manager Server Installation and Maintenance Guide.
Note: The unicast communication option applies only between the Contact
Center Manager Administration server and the client PCs. Because the Contact
Center Manager Administration server receives all the raw data from each server
in Contact Center Manager Server through multicast channels, this network
segment must always be multicast-enabled.
Note: If you choose, at a later date, to multicast-enable your entire network, you
may do so without upgrading Contact Center Manager Administration.
This type of data transmission enables users to view nodal real-time displays,
network-consolidated real-time displays, Agent Desktop Display, and
Emergency Help notifications on the client PCs.
Real-time displays viewed on one client PC that use the same data stream share
a single connection to the Contact Center Manager Administration server (for
example, a standard agent display and a private agent display both use the agent
moving window stream and can share a single unicast connection). Therefore,
for n client displays of different statistical types, there are n separate data
streams in operation, which introduces additional traffic on the network.
If a client opens a collection display (six displays in one screen), several unicast
channels are opened from the Contact Center Manager Administration server to
the client computer, one for each statistic type in the collection.
Note: Agent Desktop Display and Emergency Help notifications are not
available on client PCs that only receive unicast data.
4 In the IP Receive Address and IP Send Address boxes, type the correct
address information. The IP Receive address in Contact Center Manager
Administration must be the same as the multicast IP address in Contact
ATTENTION
If the server in Contact Center Manager Server is part of
a networked contact center, all servers in Contact Center
Manager Server within the network must have the same
multicast IP address. The IP Receive address for Contact
Center Manager Administration must match the common
multicast IP addresses of the servers in Contact Center
Manager Server (the address used to send multicast
data).
Note: The IP multicast addresses that you select for RSM sending and
receiving must be within the 224.0.1.0 and 239.255.255.255 range. Check
with your network administrator for acceptable IP multicast addresses for
your specific network.
5 Accept the default values in the Output Rate box (5000) and the
Transform Rate box (1000). You can adjust the default values; however,
reducing the Output Rate value and the Transform Rate value increases
the workload on the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
Note: The fastest rate at which multicast data from Contact Center
Manager Server reaches the end user in Contact Center Manager
Administration is equal to the highest value among the following settings:
the Multicast Rate at which data is sent from Contact Center Manager
Server to the Contact Center Manager Administration server (For more
information about Multicast Rates, see the Nortel Contact Center 6.0
Planning and Engineering Guide.)
the Output Rate at which the Contact Center Manager Administration
server sends data to client PCs
the Transform Rate at which the Contact Center Manager Administration
server processes data
Example
If the Contact Center Manager Server Multicast Rate is set to 2
seconds, the Contact Center Manager Administration server Transform
Rate is set to 1 second, and the Contact Center Manager Administration
server Output Rate is 7 seconds, then the data on the client PC will not
refresh faster than every 7 seconds, regardless of the refresh rate that
the user has chosen in Real-Time Reporting.
If you want to decrease the length of time required for real-time statistics
to reach client PCs, you can decrease the Output Rate and Transform
Rate values; however, this impacts performance on the Contact Center
Manager Administration server. Notify users of the Real-Time Reporting
component of these rates so they can adjust the refresh rate
accordingly. For more information about adjusting rates and assessing
performance, see the Contact Center - Manager CapTool User’s Guide.
6 Accept the default value in the OAM Timeout box (10000).
ATTENTION
You may need to increase the OAM Timeout value if the
following situations occur:
You cannot see any partition elements in the right
pane when creating or viewing a partition in Access
and Partition Management. This can occur when there
is a large amount of data stored on Contact Center
Manager Server and the network is slow.
Your contact center has a large numbers of agents or
skillsets. In this case, it may not be possible to return
a large list of agents or skillsets when viewing a report
using the Historical Reporting component.
If you increase the OAM Timeout value, this provides
more time for the partition elements to be collected on a
per-server basis. Nortel recommends that you increase
this value in increments of 10 000 (milliseconds).
7 Nortel recommends that you leave the Compress Realtime Data Packets
check box selected, which is the default setting. If you clear this check
mark, then you disable real-time data packet compression.
8 In the Transmission Options area, click the button beside the
transmission mode that is required for the site. Choose one of:
Multicast only if your network supports multicast traffic (recommended),
and proceed to step 11.
Unicast only if you do not want any multicast traffic on your network,
and proceed to step 9.
Multicast and Unicast if you want to support both transmission types,
and proceed to step 9.
12 Click OK.
Result: The Restart ICERtdService status window appears while the
service is restarting, and closes after the service has restarted successfully.
13 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
ATTENTION
Nortel recommends that you take note of your Real-Time
Reporting Configuration settings whenever these settings are
changed (for example, after installing or upgrading Contact
Center Manager Administration). If you need to restore your
Contact Center Manager Administration data, you will need to
reconfigure these settings manually.
The Emergency Help component only functions if you are using the multicast
communication method from the Contact Center Manager Administration server
to the client PC.
Note: If you are configuring a replicating server, you must ensure that the
Emergency Help Configuration settings on the replicating server match the
Emergency Help Configuration settings on the primary server.
2 In the left pane, navigate to the Emergency Help folder by clicking the (+)
sign next to the Nortel Networks folder and the (+) sign next to the
Applications folder.
3 In the left pane, click the Emergency Help folder.
Result: The Emergency Help Configuration window appears.
5 In the IP Send Address box, type the IP address to which the Contact
Center Manager Administration server sends Emergency Help information.
This IP Send address can be the same as or different from the IP address
that the Contact Center Manager Administration server uses to send Real-
Time Reporting and Agent Desktop Display data to client PCs.
6 Click the Restart Emergency Help Service check box.
7 Click OK.
Result: The system restarts Emergency Help.
8 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
ATTENTION
Nortel recommends that you take note of your Emergency
Help Configuration settings whenever these settings are
changed (for example, after installing or upgrading Contact
Center Manager Administration). If you need to restore your
Contact Center Manager Administration data, you will need to
reconfigure these settings manually.
Introduction

Introduction
This step documents procedures for the following tasks:
1. Creating a shared folder for exporting scheduled reports
This task is required if you want to create a shared folder on the Contact
Center Manager Administration server or the client PC so that multiple
users can access scheduled reports from the same folder.
2. Configuring a shared network folder for synchronizing reports
This task is required if you want to synchronize imported reports to
automatically update with changes to the original reports on the network
computer.
Option 1: You can create a shared folder on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server for exporting scheduled reports.
Option 2: You can create a shared folder on the client PC for exporting
scheduled reports.
Note: Granting change and read permissions to the scheduled report account
(that is iceAdmin or domain account) only provides a higher level of security.
However, granting change and read permissions to the Everyone group provides
more flexibility because Contact Center Manager Administration users can
download exported report output files from the shared folder without special
permissions. Choose the option that is most appropriate for the security policy of
your organization.
1. To create a shared target folder with change and read permissions to the
scheduled report account (that is, iceAdmin or domain account), follow the
steps below:
Create a folder on the Contact Center Manager Administration server
that will store the exported scheduled report file from scheduled reports.
Grant change/read permissions to the scheduled report account (that is,
iceAdmin or domain account) on the folder
2. To create a shared folder with change and read permissions to Everyone
account on the Contact Center Manager Administration server, follow these
steps:
Create a folder on the Contact Center Manager Administration server
that will store the exported scheduled report file from scheduled reports.
Right-click on the target folder and grant change/read permissions to
Everyone.
For example, to export scheduled report files to the Contact Center Manager
Administration server, in the Output box on the Report Properties window, type
the path to the shared folder where the report will be sent. The path must have
the format \\<Contact Center Manager Administration server name>\<shared
folder name>\<file name>, without the file extension. That is, if the Contact
Center Manager Administration server computer name is appsrvr, the shared
folder name is reports, and you decide to call the report agent, you type
\\appsrvr\reports\agent in the Output box.
Note: Scheduled reports use the local administrator account named iceAdmin or
the domain account set up by the administrator in the iceAdmin Password
Change Utility to run, print and export the scheduled report.
The reports are exported locally to the shared folder on the Contact Center
Manager Administration server. Contact Center Manager Administration users
require read permission on the Contact Center Manager Administration's shared
folder to copy the exported report files to their desktops/client PCs.
To enable users to access the saved report file, you must grant each user
read/delete access rights to this folder on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server (or alternately, create separate shared folders with read/
delete access for each applicable user). For details about configuring user access
privileges, see the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 documentation.
You can only export scheduled reports to client PCs that are within the same
domain as the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
To export scheduled reports to the client PC, you must first create a shared
folder on the client PC, and grant change and read permissions to the scheduled
reports account group (that is, iceAdmin or the domain account set up by the
administrator using the iceAdmin Password Change Utility).
1. To create a shared target folder with change and read permissions to the
iceAdmin account, follow the steps below:
Click Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Local Users
and Groups > Users.
Create a new user iceAdmin with the same password as on Contact
Center Manager Administration server
Create a folder on the client PC that will store the exported scheduled
report file from the Contact Center Manager Administration scheduled
reports.
Grant change/read permissions to the local iceAdmin account on the
folder
Note: This option will not work when the client PC is outside the domain of the
Contact Center Manager Administration server. In this scenario, you must add
the client PC to the network domain of the Contact Center Manager
Administration server.
To export scheduled report files to a client PC, in the Output box on the Report
Properties window, type the path to the shared folder to which the report will be
sent. The path must have the format \\<client PC computer name>\<shared
folder name>\<file name>, without the file extension. Alternatively, you can
use the Browse button to select your shared folder for export file.
Example: If you want to export the Agent Performance report to a shared folder
on the client PC, and the client PC computer name is clientpc, the shared folder
name is reports, and you decide to call the report agent, you type
\\clientpc\reports\agent in the Output box.
For details about configuring user access privileges, see the Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 documentation. If you require additional information about creating
and mapping folders, see your Microsoft documentation.
However, if you make changes to the original report on the network computer
after you import it into Contact Center Manager Administration, these changes
are not reflected in the imported report unless you select Synchronize report
template from the network drive in the template importing wizard. If you select
this value when importing the report, then, when you subsequently run the
imported report in Contact Center Manager Administration (either ad hoc or
scheduled), the system checks the network folder in which the original report is
stored to see if any changes have been made to it. If the original report has
changed, then the system synchronizes these changes with the imported report
before running it. This process is automatic and invisible to the user.
If you have made changes to several original reports after importing them into
Contact Center Manager Administration, you can manually synchronize the
changes with the imported reports all at once by using the Synchronize User
Imported Report Templates window in Contact Center Manager Administration.
In this window, when you click Submit, the system synchronizes the changes
that you have made to all original reports stored in shared folders on a network
PC with the copies stored on the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
However, because this may be a lengthy process (based on the number of
reports), and to avoid corrupting any existing reports, Nortel recommends that
you do so only when no reports are running (either ad hoc or scheduled).
Before you can use the report synchronization feature, you must set up the
shared folder on the network PC with the appropriate access privileges
according to your organization’s security policy.
ATTENTION
When the Contact Center Manager Administration server is
part of a network domain, the user imported reports (only
when run as scheduled reports) might not be synchronized
automatically because the Contact Center Manager
Administration server account that is used for scheduled
reports, iceAdmin, might not have access to the network
directory. In this scenario, to synchronize the affected user
imported reports, follow the procedure “To manually
synchronize changes made to user imported templates” in
the Contact Center Manager Administration online Help, or
run the report ad hoc whenever the original report template
is modified on the source network location.
or
You can share the folder with read permissions for the IUSR_SWC and
iceAdmin accounts (these accounts are used by the Contact Center Manager
Administration server). For details, see “Option 2: Share the folder with

Updates for the language pack are installed on the Contact Center Manager
Server,” on page 1444.
ATTENTION
When installing and configuring the software on the
Contact Center Manager Administration server, you cannot
install a non-English version of the operating system over
a previously installed English version of the operating
system. Instead, you must ensure that the Contact Center
Manager Administration server is completely clean and
free of all English operating system components before
proceeding with the non-English installation. Failure to
do so results in functionality problems in Contact Center
Manager Administration.
Coresident servers
If your Contact Center Manager Administration is coresident with other Contact
Center 6.0 applications, certain limitations apply with respect to working in
languages other than English.
On coresident servers that contain Contact Center Manager Server and Contact
Center Manager Administration, the only supported language versions of the
Windows Server 2003 operating system are:
English
Japanese
Traditional Chinese
There are three language families that Contact Center Manager Administration
recognizes:
Latin 1 Includes all the Western European languages that use the Latin 1
character set (including English, French, German)
Traditional Chinese This language has its own distinct multi-byte
character set and, therefore, belongs to an individual language family
Japanese This language has its own distinct multi-byte character set and,
therefore, belongs to an individual language family
Note: Although English belongs to the Latin 1 language family, the character
sets for English are included in all language families. Therefore, you can display
English on a system configured in any language family by changing the
language preferences in the Internet Explorer browser.
German operating system, and a client PC with a French operating system. All
of these languages belong to the same family (Latin 1) and, therefore, can
coexist in the same network. In this case, the language preference setting on the
client PC browser determines the language in which the application appears.
3 Press Enter.
Result: The utility opens.
Note: You must insert the operating system CD in the server before performing
this procedure.
To ensure that the required Service Updates for the language pack
are installed on the Contact Center Manager Server
For Traditional Chinese and Japanese, you need to ensure that the required
Service Updates are on the Contact Center Manager Server. For details about
how to install Service Updates, refer to the Contact Center Manager Server
Installation and Maintenance Guide.
The following Service Updates must be installed on the Contact Center Manager
Server:
For Japanese, the NS040206SU08S PEP (or later) and the
N10402JAPANESE PEP must be installed on a server running the Contact
Center Manager Server Release 6.0 US English software.
For Chinese, the NS040206SU08S PEP (or later) and the
N10402TCHINESE PEP must be installed on a server running the Contact

ATTENTION
When restoring Contact Center Manager Administration
data, you must restore data that was backed up from the
same release and version of the software as that which is
currently installed on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server. For example, if your Contact Center
Manager Administration server currently contains Contact
Center Manager Administration Release 6.0, then you can
only restore a backup of Release 6.0 data onto this server.
You cannot restore data from previous Service Updates. If
you restore data backed up on previous versions, you will
corrupt your server.
You can use the instructions in this section to restore Contact Center Manager
Administration data from a primary server and restore the same data to a new
Contact Center Manager Administration server. You can use this procedures in
this section to:
recover from a system failure if your Contact Center Manager
Administration server fails completely (for example, due to serious
hardware failure)
restore data to the replicating server if you have a failure on your primary
server
restore Contact Center Manager Administration data onto the same server
from which it was backed up (for example, if you want to roll back
erroneous data or you are recovering from a data loss issue)
restore Contact Center Manager Administration data to a new server if you
are performing a data migration from an existing server to a new server
ATTENTION
If you are restoring data on a server that does not have
replication enabled, you must shut down the
SymposiumWC service before starting the restoration
procedure.
You must also retain the permission properties of the
ADAM data directory and ADAM files if you restore these
files (for example, you must retain permissions such as
NETWORK SERVICE). If you do not maintain permission
properties, the SymposiumWC service will not start.
You must manually restart the SymposiumWC service after
you complete the restoration.

ADAM data directory and ADAM files if you restore these
files (for example, you must retain permissions such as
NETWORK SERVICE). If you do not maintain permission
properties, the SymposiumWC service will not start.
You must manually restart the SymposiumWC service after
you complete the restoration.
Option 4: Restoring files using the Veritas Backup Exec 9.1 tool
ATTENTION
Do not install the Veritas Backup 9.1 software on
coresident systems containing Contact Center Manager
Server and Contact Center Manager Administration as it
prevents the NBNM service from starting up. In addition
to this problem, if you use Veritas Backup 9.1 to restore
Contact Center Manager Administration data on a
coresident system, it has an adverse effect on the
operation of the system and may require a complete
system rebuild.
Nortel has also tested the Veritas Backup Exec 9.1 tool (build 4691), which can
be used instead of the Microsoft Windows Backup Tool to back up and restore
the Contact Center Manager Administration data. There are several other third-
party tools that can perform a similar function; choose the tool that best suits
your organization.
If you use Veritas to restore Contact Center Manager Administration data, you
must note the following:
You must stop the SymposiumWC service prior to restoring from a Veritas
backup file. You must also ensure that “Restore over existing files” is
selected in the general properties for the restore job. For more information,
consult the Veritas application online Help.
The default installation of Veritas Backup Exec 9.1 uses the TCP port
10000, which is also the default port used by the Contact Center Manager
Administration Toolkit NameService. This conflict results in Contact
Center Manager Administration malfunctioning (administrative changes,
such as agent and skillset name changes, are not updated in real time,
requiring you to restart the ICERTDService to refresh the cache).
To avoid this conflict, before you use Veritas, you must change the default
port that it uses to another port number of your choice (the Contact Center
Manager Administration Toolkit NameService port number cannot be
changed at this time). When changing the port number, you must first
investigate the ports that are currently being used by all the products in your
network (both Nortel and third-party products). Then choose a port that
does not cause a conflict between any of these products. For a list of ports
used by Contact Center Manager Administration, see the Contact Center
After restoring your data, you must perform the following tasks:
Manually reconfigure your Real-Time Reporting and Emergency Help
configuration settings. These settings must the same as they were prior to
the data restoration.
Reactivate scheduled assignments.
Launch the Historical Reporting component in Contact Center Manager
Administration. In the scheduled events window, select all scheduled
assignments and click Activate.
Launch the Contact Center Management component in Contact Center
Manager Administration. Open each scheduled assignment and
reactivate.
If you have Network Control Center (NCC), go to the Configuration
component of Contact Center Manager Administration and reactivate all
routing table scheduled assignments.

Introduction
You can uninstall the entire Contact Center Manager Administration application
by using the Windows Add or Remove Programs feature.
LOSS OF DATA
When you reinstall Contact Center Manager Administration, the system asks if
you want to use the preserved customer data. In order to preserve customer data,
you must click Yes and reinstall the same version of Contact Center Manager
Administration with the same Service Update.
ATTENTION
Before uninstalling Contact Center Manager Administration,
note the directory in which it is currently installed (the default
directory is C:\Program Files\Nortel Networks\WClient, but it
may be installed in a custom location). You will need to know
this directory when reinstalling the software. When reinstalling
Contact Center Manager Administration on a Contact Center
Manager Administration server that is running this operating
system, you must install the software in the same directory in
which it was originally installed, or errors will occur.
ATTENTION
In Windows Server 2003, when you click No, you uninstall
ADAM along with Contact Center Manager Administration; if
you click Yes to keep customer data, then you uninstall
Contact Center Manager Administration, but you leave ADAM
intact.
If you want to preserve your data, click Yes. The system copies your file
to the following temporary directory:
x:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\WClient
where x is the drive in which the operating system is installed. If you
clicked Yes, you can now skip to the Result of step d on page 1501.
If you want the system to delete all data, click No.
Result: The Remove the Program window appears.
Note: If you have installed any Service Updates or Service Update
Supplements on your server, these patches are listed in the Remove the
Program window. The system removes these patches before removing the
Contact Center Manager Administration software.
a. Click Remove
Result: The Active Directory Mode Removal Wizard dialog box appears
When you reinstall Contact Center Manager Administration, the system asks if
you want to use the preserved customer data. If you click No, the system
uninstalls ADAM from the application server, and then reinstalls ADAM with
Contact Center Manager Administration; if you click Yes, the system installs
Contact Center Manager Administration and uses the version of ADAM that was
already installed.
Introduction
When uninstalling Contact Center Manager Administration and third-party
software (Sybase and Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded), it is important that the
software be uninstalled in the reverse order that it was installed. Therefore, the
correct order for uninstalling the software is:
1. Uninstall Contact Center Manager Administration software.
2. Uninstall Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded software.
3. Uninstall Sybase software (for stand-alone Contact Center Manager
Administration configurations only).
3 Click Remove.
Result: The Add or Remove Programs dialog box appears, asking you if
you are sure that you want to remove Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded
from your computer.
4 Click Yes.
Result: The system removes Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded from your
computer.
Introduction
ATTENTION
If you have installed Contact Center Manager
Administration on a coresident server, then you cannot
uninstall Sybase Open Client as it will have a negative
impact on the other coresident software applications,
particularly Contact Center Manager Server. You can only
uninstall Sybase Open Client if Contact Center Manager
Administration is installed on a stand-alone server.
Use the following procedure if you need to uninstall the Sybase Open Client
software from the Contact Center Manager Administration server. For example,
because Contact Center Manager Administration only functions with Sybase
Open Client 12.5, if the Contact Center Manager Administration server already
has a version of Sybase installed that is newer than version 12.5, then you must
uninstall it completely before installing version 12.5.
Note: Contact Center Manager Administration does not function without Sybase
Open Client; therefore, if you uninstall the software, you must reinstall Sybase
Open Client 12.5 before you can work with Contact Center Manager
Administration.
4 Click Yes.
Result: The system uninstalls the software.
Introduction
When you uninstall Contact Center Manager Administration from a server that
is running Windows Server 2003, the system asks you if you want to preserve
customer data. If you click No, the system uninstalls application server data
from the Contact Center Manager Administration server; if you click Yes, the
system uninstalls Contact Center Manager Administration, but leaves
application server data intact on the Contact Center Manager Administration
server.
When you reinstall Contact Center Manager Administration, the system asks if
you want to use the preserved customer data. In order to preserve customer data,
you must click Yes and reinstall the same version of Contact Center Manager
Administration with the same Service Update.
ATTENTION
When you have the Windows Server 2003 operating system,
and you are reinstalling Contact Center Manager
Administration on the server, you must reinstall it in the same
directory in which it was originally installed or errors will
occur (the default directory is C:\Program Files\Nortel
Networks\WClient, but it may have been installed in a custom
location).
Introduction
Before you reinstall the software, choose the appropriate scenario from the
following list, and then follow the applicable procedure:

ADAM instance that you are creating on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server. Because ADAM runs as a service on the server, it
requires a service account. ADAM service account requirements depend
on the Windows workgroup or domain environment in which you are
installing ADAM, and the options in this window vary based on your
configuration. In this example, ADAM is installed as a Windows Server
2003 member server in a Windows 2000 domain, so Network service
account is selected. Choose the option that best suits your network
configuration, and then click Next.
Note: The values shown in this procedure are only sample values that you
could choose if the Contact Center Manager Administration server is a
Windows Server 2003 member server in a Windows 2000 domain.
However, there are other possible configurations for which these values do
not work. Therefore, you must choose the appropriate values based on
your specific network configuration. See “ADAM and service accounts” on
page 1652 and the Microsoft documentation for more information.

Introduction
You can upgrade your Contact Center Manager Administration software when
new Service Updates (SU) become available. When you upgrade to a newer
version of the software, check the Contact Center Manager Server
Supplementary CD for new Service Updates. Nortel also recommends that you
check the web site www.nortel.com/espl to see if further updates were posted
following the release of the Supplementary CD.
To register for the ESPL web site, follow the instructions listed at

Administration server.
and install than Service Updates. SUS are numbered sequentially in the
format CCMA_6.0_SUS_0101, CCMA_6.0_SUS_0102, and so on. You
can install an SUS only if its corresponding Service Update is already
installed. For example, if SU01 is installed, then you can install
CCMA_6.0_SUS_0101 and CCMA_6.0_SUS_0102.
Designer Patches (DP) are critical patches that are released to a limited
number of customers to address specific customer issues. DP are numbered
sequentially in the format CCMA_6.0_DP_010101,
CCMA_6.0_DP_010102, and so on. A DP is usually posted to a secure a
location and installed on the recommendation of a Nortel support
technician.
Note: The numbers of the Service Updates, Service Update Supplements, and
Designer Patches shown in the previous bullets are listed as examples only.
For example, if SU01, SUS0101, SUS0102 are released, SU02 contains SU01,
SUS0101, SUS0102 in the SU02 release.
Note: Designer Patches (DP) address critical issues for specific customers. A
DP is usually posted to a secure location and installed on the recommendation of
a Nortel support technician.
In addition to listing the current patch version, you can also use the utility to
view the readme files associated with each patch
uninstall one or all of the current patches
Note: If you choose to uninstall all patches, the system removes them in the
order last on, first off. If you choose to remove a single patch, you can only
remove the last one applied; you cannot remove a patch and leave a subsequent
patch intact.
The viewer also lists the status of the patches that have been applied. While the
status for patches is usually Active, sometimes the status Inactive, requires
reboot appears. This can appear if you have installed a patch on a coresident
server and you have chosen not to restart the server at the end of the patch
installation. In this case, you must restart the server to enable the patch.
Tip: You can also view the list of currently installed patches by connecting to
the Contact Center Manager Administration server and launching Contact
Center Manager Administration on any client PC (or on the Contact Center
Manager Administration server if it is used as a client PC).
Uninstalling patches
To uninstall the last patch applied, click Uninstall Last. The system removes the
last patch you applied.
To uninstall all patches listed, including the Service Update, click Uninstall All.
A message box asks you to confirm your choice, and then the system uninstalls

you can perform the following procedure.
7 Click Yes to read the file, or No to proceed directly with the installation.
Notes:
The readme file can contain important information about the update that
you are installing, such as a list of dependent patches, any pre- or
postinstallation tasks that you may have to perform, or the need to stop
any services manually. Nortel recommends that you read the file before
installing the patch.
If you are attempting to install an older version of a Service Update or
Service Update Supplement than that which is currently installed on the
server, the installation is halted and a notification window appears. Click
Cancel to exit the installation. If you require the older Service Update,
then you must manually uninstall the newer patch, and then run the

one account and then try to install the next update or uninstall the current patch
while logged on as a different account, the installation or uninstallation fails.
or
You can uninstall all Designer Patches, Service Update Supplements, and
Service Updates at the same time.
Notes:
To successfully uninstall a patch, you must be logged on to the server under
the same Administrator account profile with which you were logged on
when you installed the patch. If you have multiple Administrator accounts,
you must ensure that you always use the same account profile to install or
uninstall Service Updates, Service Update Supplements, and any designer
fixes or patches on the server. If you install an update with one account,
profile and then try to install the next update or uninstall the current patch
while logged on as a different account profile, the installation or
uninstallation will fail.
You cannot uninstall a previous Service Update Supplement or Designer
Patch and leave a later one installed. You must uninstall the last patch that
you applied, followed by the preceding patch (if you want to uninstall more
than one patch). For example, if the server has CCMA_6.0_SUS_0101 and

Introduction
If you have changed the computer name of the Contact Center Manager Server
or if you have switched to a standby Contact Center Manager Server with a new
name, you need to change the name of the Contact Center Manager Server on
the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
A new feature in Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0 enables Contact
Center Manager Administration server to be easily reconfigured to connect to a
secondary Contact Center Manager Server (different computer name/IP
address). This allows Contact Center Manager Administration to continue to
communicate with a new standby Contact Center Manager Server; that is,
retrieve all the data stored in the application server for that server even though it
now has a different name.
To change the computer name of the Contact Center Manager Server you must
change the computer name in Contact Center Manager Server and then perform
subsequent tasks in Contact Center Manager Administration to update the
Contact Center Manager Server computer name in Contact Center Manager
Administration.
The procedures for changing the computer name vary based on whether the
server is coresident with Contact Center Manager Administration or standalone.

Introduction
Contact Center Manager Administration will function correctly after an IP
address change on the Contact Center Manager Administration server. However,
you must be aware of the following restrictions:
You must update your Domain Name Server (DNS) or HOSTS table to
reflect the new IP address of the Contact Center Manager Administration
server for your Contact Center Manager Administration to function
correctly.
You must reboot the Contact Center Manager Administration server after
you change the Contact Center Manager Administration server IP address.
If you scheduled a historical report output file with the Contact Center

Overview
Introduction
In order to prevent loss of data and to reduce Contact Center Manager
Administration downtime in the event of a server failure, you must have a
Contact Center Manager Administration resiliency plan in place. Your Contact
Center Manager Administration resiliency plan minimizes the Contact Center
Manager Administration downtime by offering solutions to protect data and
quickly recover in the event of a server failure disaster such as a power outage or
server malfunction.
In addition to offering protection from server failures, a resiliency plan will help
you in the following scenarios:
If you upgrade to newer versions of Contact Center Manager
Administration, so you can revert back to the previous version of the
software, if necessary.
If you want to roll back erroneous data.
If you want to migrate your Contact Center Manager Administration to a
new server.
It is important that all contact centers schedule backups of their Contact Center
Manager Administration data at regular intervals. Nortel recommends that you
back up your contact center data at least once a day (or more frequently, based
on your contact center requirements). Nortel also recommends that you perform
backups during periods of low activity.

About Active Directory Mode Application (ADAM) replication 1649
ADAM and service accounts 1652
Overview
Introduction
In addition to scheduling backups of your Contact Center Manager
Administration data files, you have the option of installing a replicating server.
Introduction
Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) is a Microsoft information storage
framework, and runs as a non-operating system service. The server on which it
is installed does not have to be a domain controller. Instead, ADAM can be
installed on a Contact Center Manager Administration server that is a member of
an existing domain (even an existing NT domain).
In Contact Center Manager Administration, the following data files are stored in
ADAM and can be replicated:
user information and details
access classes
partitions
private and graphical real-time reports
real-time report filters
For more detailed information about ADAM, see the Microsoft web site at
www.microsoft.com.
After you install ADAM on the Contact Center Manager Administration server,
you can also consult the ADAM online Help by clicking Start > All Programs
> ADAM > ADAM Help.
maintain the integrity of your Contact Center Manager Administration data, you
can only replicate a Contact Center Manager Administration-specific ADAM
instance with one or more other Contact Center Manager Administration-
specific instances of ADAM.
Note: Do not use replication as your only method of backing up Contact Center
Manager Administration data for the following two reasons:
Not all Contact Center Manager Administration data is replicated.
You cannot use replication to roll back data to a specific time, which
may be required.
The data listed above is exchanged between the Contact Center Manager
Administration servers, so that if it is changed on one server, it is replicated to
the other Contact Center Manager Administration servers.
For details about how to back up Contact Center Manager Administration data,
refer to Section C: “Creating backups of your CCMA data,” on page 1663.
If you are replicating an existing instance, then your choices for the service
account for this new instance vary according to:
the Windows domain into which the original ADAM instance was installed
the service account chosen for the original ADAM instance
Before you install the first instance of ADAM (with replication), you must note
the environment into which you are installing it; when you are replicating an
existing instance, you must note both the environment into which you are
installing the replica instance and the type of service account chosen for the
original instance.
For more information, you can also consult the Microsoft documentation.
The following table outlines the ADAM service account options that are
available to you based on the environment into which you are installing ADAM:
Service Service
account of the account of the Default replication
primary replicating authentication
Domain context server(s) server(s) method
In this section

Recovering from CCMA failure (with no replicating server installed) 1657
Recovering from CCMA failure (with replicating server installed) 1659
Overview
If the Contact Center Manager Administration server hardware fails, you will
need to restore your backup data quickly.
Note: When restoring Contact Center Manager Administration data, you must
restore data that was backed up from the same release and version of the
software as that which is currently installed on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server. For example, if your Contact Center Manager
Administration server currently contains Contact Center Manager
Administration Release 6.0, then you can only restore a backup of Release 6.0
data onto this server. You cannot restore data from previous Service Updates. If
you restore data backed up on previous versions, you will corrupt your server.
The numbered list below provides a quick reference to tasks that must be
performed in the event of a Contact Center Manager Administration server
failure when you do not have a replicating server installed. For detailed
procedures for these tasks, refer to “Restoring data,” on page 1691.
1. If your Contact Center Manager Administration server is still functioning,
you can restore data files to your existing Contact Center Manager
Administration server. However, if you have a serious server malfunction
and cannot restore data to your existing server, you will need to install
Contact Center Manager Administration on a new server and restore data
files to the new Contact Center Manager Administration server. For details
about installing Contact Center Manager Administration, see Chapter 3,
“Installing the software on the primary server.”
2. On your existing Contact Center Manager Administration server or on the
new server with Contact Center Manager Administration installed, shut
down the SymposiumWC service.
3. Perform a restore either using the appropriate backup and restore utility.
Note: For a list of backup files that need to be restored, see “To restore data
with the Nortel Backup and Restore utility,” on page 1693. This data restore
takes less than 5 minutes.
4. Manually restart the SymposiumWC service.
5. Manually reconfigure your Real-Time Reporting and Emergency Help
configuration settings. These settings must the same as they were prior to
the data restoration.
Note: At this point your Contact Center Manager Administration is
operational except for scheduled information.
6. Reactivate scheduled assignments.
a) Launch the Historical Reporting component in Contact Center Manager
Administration. In the scheduled events window, select all scheduled
assignments and click Activate.
ATTENTION
You must update your Domain Name Server (DNS) or
HOSTS table to reflect the new name of the Contact Center
Manager Administration server for your Contact Center
Manager Administration to function correctly. For information
about updating the DNS or the HOSTS table, see the Contact
Center Manager Administration Technical Requirements and
Operating System Configuration Guide.
The numbered list below provides a quick reference to the tasks that must be
performed in the event of a Contact Center Manager Administration server
failure when you have a replicating server installed. For detailed procedures for
these tasks, refer to “Restoring data,” on page 1691.
1. Update the url that refers to the Contact Center Manager Administration
server on all client PCs.
Note: For details about functionality that is immediately available from the
replicating server, see “Functionality that is immediately available from the
replicating server,” on page 1660.
2. On each agent workstation, launch the Server IP Addresses Configuration
window from Agent Desktop Display and switch to the standby server. For
details, see “Switching to the standby server in Agent Desktop Display” on
page 1705.
3. On the replicating server, perform a restore using the appropriate backup
and restore utility.
Important!: If you did not clear the two locations C:\Program
Files\Microsoft ADAM\SymposiumWC\ and C:\WINDOWS\ADAM
when you performed a backup, you must clear these files from the list of
files to be restored so that they are not restored on the replicating server.
Note: For a list of backup files that need to be restored, see “Backup files
to be restored for full functionality after the replicating server is brought
online,” on page 1661. Restoring files takes less than 5 minutes.
4. If you have not already configured your Real-Time Reporting and
Emergency Help settings on the replicating server, you must manually
reconfigure your Real-Time Reporting and Emergency Help configuration
settings. These settings must the same as they were prior to the data
restoration.
5. Reactivate scheduled assignments.
The following functions are maintained and immediately available from the
replicating server:
Access and Partition Management
User details, names, usernames, passwords, basic access rights, and
assigned associated supervisors are maintained.
Assigned partition information (that is, standard and user defined
partitions) are maintained.
All User Defined partitions information (that is, agents, applications,
CDN, DNIS, report groups and skillsets) are maintained.
Configured access class levels are maintained.
Real-Time Displays
Real-Time public and private displays are maintained.
Historical Reports
Standard and custom report groups are maintained.
Scripting
Scripts, script variables, and call routing are maintained (these are
stored on the Contact Center Manager Server).
Report Creation Wizard
Report Creation Wizard can be used to create reports but these reports
will be lost after a restore.
Existing user created reports and user created formulae will be
unavailable.
You must not add new custom report groups before restoring this file. It
maintains a list of custom report IDs for ADAM. Failure to do so could
cause overwriting of existing custom reports.
Historical Reporting
Restore: Nortel Networks\WClient\Apps\Historical\data
Private historical reports, user-created historical reports and related filters
are unavailable before folder restore.
Note: Scheduling data for historical reports is restored, but scheduled reports
must be reactivated to reschedule the running of the reports in the MS Windows
Scheduler of the replicating Contact Center Manager Administration.
Real-Time Reports
Restore: Nortel Networks\Wclient\Apps\RealTime\Exports
Exported real-time graphical displays are stored in this folder location.
All other Real-Time Display data is held in ADAM and therefore covered
by replication.
Contact Center Management
Restore: Nortel Networks\WClient\Server\Common\Icedb\Schedule.mdb
Scheduling data for Contact Center Management for agent-supervisor and
agent-skillset assignments are contained in this file.
Note: If you are using XML Assignments you must back up the user-defined
folder location (on primary Contact Center Manager Administration) of the xml
files you have previously saved if you want to use them again.
Configuration
Restore: Nortel Networks\WClient\Server\Common\Icedb\Schedule.mdb
Routing table assignments are restored by same file as CCM assignments.
Report Creation Wizard
Restore:...\Nortel Networks\WClient\Server\RCW\data\RCW.mdb
...\Nortel Networks\Wclient \Apps\Reporting\Historical\rpt\RCW
After you restore from a backup file, all previously configured information in
the areas described will be overwritten.

Overview
Introduction
Nortel recommends that all contact centers perform regular backups of Contact
Center Manager Administration data files to a secure location such as a tape
drive or network drive. You can help your contact center to recover from events,
such as data loss and damage due to disk failures and power outages, by creating
a backup of your contact center data. This applies to both data on the Contact
Center Manager Administration server and on the server in Contact Center
Manager Server. (This can be the same server if you are working on a coresident
installation.)
This section describes backup procedures for the Contact Center Manager
Administration server. For details about how to backup files on the Contact
Center Manager Server, refer to the Contact Center Manager Server Installation
and Maintenance Guide.
If you decide to install replicating server, you must still perform regular backups
of the primary Contact Center Manager Administration server. Unlike ADAM
replication, backups provide snapshots of your Contact Center Manager
Administration data files at moments in time.
Because all of your user/agent assignments, CDNs, and DNISs are stored on the
Contact Center Manager Server, if your stand-alone Contact Center Manager
Administration server fails, calls will continue to be routed according to your
defined scripts and your contact center is still able to receive calls.
When the Contact Center Manager Administration server fails, your supervisors
and administrators will not be able to access the Contact Center Manager
Administration application. Therefore in the event of a Contact Center Manager
Administration server failure, access to real-time displays, agent desktop
display, schedule information for historical reports will be interrupted.
Scheduling backups
Nortel recommends that you back up your Contact Center Manager
Administration data at least once a day (or more frequently, based on your
contact center requirements) to avoid loss of data in the event of a server failure.
Nortel also recommends that you schedule backups during periods of low
activity.
However, because the Contact Center Manager Server data files do not change
as often as Contact Center Manager Administration data files, it is possible to
back up your Contact Center Manager Administration server without backing up
Contact Center Manager Server at the same time, if required.
ATTENTION
Do not install the Veritas Backup 9.1 software on
coresident systems containing Contact Center Manager
Server and Contact Center Manager Administration as it
prevents the NBNM service from starting up. In addition to
this problem, if you use Veritas Backup 9.1 to restore
Contact Center Manager Administration data on a coresident
system, it has an adverse effect on the operation of the
system and may require a complete system rebuild.
Whenever you perform a partial backup of Contact Center Manager Server, you
must ensure that you also perform a backup of Contact Center Manager
Administration. Furthermore, you must store both backups in the same location.
For details about creating full backups of the application server, refer to
Microsoft documentation or the documentation of the third-party backup tool of
your choice.
Introduction
You have four options for backing up Contact Center Manager Administration
data files:
Option 1: Backing up using the Nortel Backup and Restore utility
For details see, “Option 1: Backing up Contact Center Manager
Administration data files by using the Nortel Backup and Restore utility,”
on page 1671.
Option 2: Backing up using the Microsoft Windows Backup Tool
For details see, “Option 2: Backing up Contact Center Manager
Administration data files using the Microsoft Windows Backup Tool,” on
page 1679.
Option 3: Backing up using a third-party backup option of your choice
For details, see “Option 3: Known issues when backing up data using
Veritas Backup Exec 9.1,” on page 1681.
Option 4: Backing up by manually copying files
For details, see “Option 4: Backing up Contact Center Manager
Administration data files by manually copying files,” on page 1683.
weekly, or monthly basis, possibly to run during periods of low contact center
activity, or to synchronize Contact Center Manager Administration backups with
scheduled Contact Center Manager Server backups. The Nortel Backup and
Restore utility can also be used to schedule multiple backup tasks.
You can use this utility to back up the files located in the following folders
(where C is the drive on which you installed Contact Center Manager
Administration):
ADAM-specific data stored in the following folders:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft ADAM\
C:\Windows\ADAM
Historical reporting template files (both imported and custom) and Audit
Trail event logs that are stored in the following folders:
C:\Program Files\Nortel Networks\WClient\Apps\Reporting\
Historical\
C:\Program Files\Nortel Networks\WClient\Apps\Common\Icedb
The Report Creation Wizard database files that are stored in the following
folder:
C:\Program Files\Nortel Networks\Wclient\Server\RCW\Data
A record of displays for real-time reporting that have been exported to the
following folder:
C:\Program Files\Nortel
Networks\WClient\Apps\Reporting\RealTime\Exports\
An index file for Custom Report Groups that is stored in the following
folder:
C:\Program Files\Nortel
Networks\WClient\Apps\AccessMgt\AccessXML\
A record of displays for Emergency Help that has been exported to the
following folder:
C:\Program Files\Nortel
Networks\WClient\Apps\EmergencyHelp\Exports\
The file Backup.bks lists all the individual files that need to be backed up. This
file is created when you run the utility and can be found at the following
location:
When you back up the files with this utility, the system creates a single file that
you can then use to restore the individual files that were backed up on the server.
By default, this file is called Restore.bkf and is located in the following default
folder:
the flexibility to retain only the most recent backups in order to save space
in your backup location.
Example: If you choose 3 backups from the Archive Backup Files every
menu, the system will only retain your most recent three backups in the
backup location.
7 Click Next.
Result: The Schedule page appears.
8 Click the backup schedule type that you want to perform. You can choose
from:
Daily (to schedule recurring backups once a day)
Weekly (to schedule recurring backups once a week)
Monthly (to schedule recurring backups once a month)
One Time Only (to schedule a one-time-only backup at a time in the
future)
Run Now (to back up files as soon as a valid username and password
are entered)
Result: Based on your selection, a new window appears, allowing you to
define your selected backup schedule.
10 Type a valid administrator username and password for the server, and then
click Finish.
Note: You must enter a valid username and password (that is, any
username and password that are configured with administrative privileges
on the server). If you do not enter a valid username and password, a
Note: To schedule multiple backups, repeat the backup procedure until you have
scheduled all of your required backup tasks.
If you want to be able to schedule backups, then you must ensure that your
backup tool lets you back up all these types of files without requiring you to
manually copy any of them.
For further details about using the Windows Backup Tool or other backup
strategies, consult the Microsoft documentation at www.microsoft.com.
ATTENTION
Do not install the Veritas Backup 9.1 software on
coresident systems containing Contact Center Manager
Server and Contact Center Manager Administration as it
prevents the NBNM service from starting up. In addition
to this problem, if you use Veritas Backup 9.1 to restore
Contact Center Manager Administration data on a
coresident system, it has an adverse effect on the
operation of the system and may require a complete
system rebuild.
If you use Veritas to back up Contact Center Manager Administration data, you
must note the following:
The default installation of Veritas Backup Exec uses the TCP port 10000,
which is also the default port used by the Contact Center Manager
Administration Toolkit NameService. This conflict results in Contact
Center Manager Administration malfunctioning (administrative changes,
such as agent and skillset name changes, are not updated in real time,
requiring you to restart the ICERTDService to refresh the cache).
To avoid this conflict, before you use Veritas, you must change the default
port that it uses to another port number of your choice (the Contact Center
Manager Administration Toolkit NameService port number cannot be
changed at this time). When changing the port number, you must first
investigate the ports that are currently being used by all the products in your
network (both Nortel and third-party products). Then, choose a port that
does not cause a conflict between any of these products. For a list of ports
used by Contact Center Manager Administration, see the Contact Center
Manager Administration Technical Requirements and Operating System
Configuration Guide. For instructions about changing the Veritas Backup
Exec default port number, see the Veritas support article located at
www.seer.support.veritas.com.
When using the Veritas Backup Exec 9.1 tool to back up Contact Center
Manager Administration data files, you must first stop the SymposiumWC
service. Failure to do so results in errors in the Veritas backup, in which
case you are not able to use the backup to restore Contact Center Manager
Administration data. When the backup is complete, restart the
SymposiumWC service.
To avoid potential problems with Veritas Backup Exec 9.1, check
www.seer.support.veritas.com for recommended service packs and consult
www.nortel.com for the latest supported Veritas hotfix and/or service pack
with Contact Center Manager Administration.
Ensure that your version of the Veritas software supports the backup and
restore of the Windows Server 2003 ADAM data files. Nortel has tested
build 4691 of the Backup Exec software.
Ensure that your version of Backup Exec has the Microsoft Volume
Shadow Copy Service installed.
To back up the Contact Center Manager Administration ADAM
information with the Veritas Backup Exec tool, select the following:
Shadow Copy Components > User Data > Active Directory Application
Mode > C:\Program Files\Microsoft ADAM\instance1\data
where C:\Program Files\Microsoft ADAM\instance1\data is the
instance used by Symposium Web Client data.
You must also back up all other directories detailed in the section “To
back up data files using the Microsoft Windows Backup Tool” on page
1679.
For more detailed information, consult the online Help on the Veritas web site at
www.veritas.com.
Note: The Audit Trail events log is contained in the folder <x>:\Program
Files\Nortel Networks\WClient\Apps\Common\Icedb. If you want to back up
the Audit Trail events log only, only select the file <x>:\Program Files\Nortel
Networks\WClient\Apps\Common\Icedb\ICELog.mdb.
Finally, to manually back up ADAM instance files, take a copy of the following
directory and its contents:
Because these settings do not change often and cannot be backed up using
backup procedures, Nortel recommends that you take note of the Real-Time
Reporting configuration settings (IP Send and IP Receive Addresses) and the
Emergency Help configuration settings whenever these settings change (for
example, after installing or upgrading Contact Center Manager Administration).
These settings will need to be manually reconfigured during a restoration
process.

Overview
Introduction
There are several scenarios in which it is necessary to restore Contact Center
Manager Administration data, including:
If you are recovering from a Contact Center Manager Administration server
hardware failure when Contact Center Manager Server data is being
restored.
If you are moving to a replicating server as a result of a failure on your
primary Contact Center Manager Administration server.
If you are reverting the Contact Center Manager Administration software
back to a previous version.
Note: You must restore data to the same version of Contact Center Manager
Administration as that which you backed up.
If you made an error while entering Contact Center Manager
Administration data and you need a previous version of the data (Contact
Center Manager Administration data is all data excluding configuration
data, scripts, and agents and supervisors).
If you are migrating Contact Center Manager Administration data to a new
server.
Also, you must ensure that the Contact Center Manager Administration data was
backed up at the same time as the Contact Center Manager Server data was
backed up. Because Contact Center Manager Server backups may be scheduled
to occur automatically when the contact center is not busy, and possibly when an
administrator is not available, you must ensure that you also schedule Contact
Center Manager Administration backups to occur at the same time as these
backups. For information about scheduling a Contact Center Manager
Administration backup, see Section C: “Creating backups of your CCMA data,”
on page 1663.
Note: Because the backups must occur at the same time, you must ensure that
the time of the servers in question is synchronized when scheduling a backup.
To keep data synchronized between Contact Center Manager Server and Contact
Center Manager Administration on a coresident server, you must ensure that
whenever you back up one application, you also back up the other at the same
time.
Whenever you perform a partial backup of Contact Center Manager Server, you
must ensure that you also perform a backup of Contact Center Manager
Administration. Furthermore, you must store both backups in the same location.
Restoring data
Introduction
You have four options for restoring data in the event of a server failure or if you
need to revert to a previous snapshot of Contact Center Manager Administration
data:
Option 1: Restoring data using the Nortel Backup and Restore utility
For details, see “Option 1: Restoring Contact Center Manager
Administration data with the Nortel Backup and Restore utility,” on page
1692.
Option 2: Restoring data using the Windows Backup Tool
For details, see “Option 2: Restoring data files using the Windows Backup
tool,” on page 1698.
Option 3: Restoring data by manually restoring files
For details, see “Option 3: Restoring files by manually restoring files,” on
page 1701.
Option 4: Restoring data using a third-party tool such as Veritas
Backup 9.1
For details, “Option 4: Restoring files using the Veritas Backup Exec 9.1
tool,” on page 1702.
ATTENTION
When restoring Contact Center Manager Administration
data, you must restore data that was backed up from the
same release and version of the software as that which is
currently installed on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server. For example, if your Contact Center
Manager Administration server currently contains Contact
Center Manager Administration Release 6.0, then you can
only restore a backup of Release 6.0 data onto this server.
You cannot restore data from previous Service Updates. If
you restore data backed up on previous versions, you will
corrupt your server.
You can use the instructions in this section to restore Contact Center Manager
Administration data from a primary server and restore the same data to a new
Contact Center Manager Administration server. You can use this procedures in
this section to:
recover from a system failure if your Contact Center Manager
Administration server fails completely (for example, due to serious
hardware failure)
restore data to the replicating server if you have a failure on your primary
server
restore Contact Center Manager Administration data onto the same server
from which it was backed up (for example, if you want to roll back
erroneous data or you are recovering from a data loss issue)
restore Contact Center Manager Administration data to a new server if you
are performing a data migration from an existing server to a new server
ATTENTION
If you are restoring data on a server that does not have
replication enabled, you must shut down the
SymposiumWC service before starting the restoration
procedure.
You must also retain the permission properties of the
ADAM data directory and ADAM files if you restore these
files (for example, you must retain permissions such as
NETWORK SERVICE). If you do not maintain permission
properties, the SymposiumWC service will not start.
You must manually restart the SymposiumWC service after
you complete the restoration.

ATTENTION
If you are restoring data on a server that does not have
replication enabled, you must shut down the
SymposiumWC service before starting the restoration
procedure.
You must also retain the permission properties of the
ADAM data directory and ADAM files if you restore these
files (for example, you must retain permissions such as
NETWORK SERVICE). If you do not maintain permission
properties, the SymposiumWC service will not start.
You must manually restart the SymposiumWC service after
you complete the restoration.
Option 4: Restoring files using the Veritas Backup Exec 9.1 tool
ATTENTION
Do not install the Veritas Backup 9.1 software on
coresident systems containing Contact Center Manager
Server and Contact Center Manager Administration as it
prevents the NBNM service from starting up. In addition
to this problem, if you use Veritas Backup 9.1 to restore
Contact Center Manager Administration data on a
coresident system, it has an adverse effect on the
operation of the system and may require a complete
system rebuild.
Nortel has also tested the Veritas Backup Exec 9.1 tool (build 4691), which can
be used instead of the Microsoft Windows Backup Tool to back up and restore
the Contact Center Manager Administration data. There are several other third-
party tools that can perform a similar function; choose the tool that best suits
your organization.
If you use Veritas to restore Contact Center Manager Administration data, you
must note the following:
You must stop the SymposiumWC service prior to restoring from a Veritas
backup file. You must also ensure that “Restore over existing files” is
selected in the general properties for the restore job. For more information,
consult the Veritas application online Help.
The default installation of Veritas Backup Exec 9.1 uses the TCP port
10000, which is also the default port used by the Contact Center Manager
Administration Toolkit NameService. This conflict results in Contact
Center Manager Administration malfunctioning (administrative changes,
such as agent and skillset name changes, are not updated in real time,
requiring you to restart the ICERTDService to refresh the cache).
To avoid this conflict, before you use Veritas, you must change the default
port that it uses to another port number of your choice (the Contact Center
Manager Administration Toolkit NameService port number cannot be
changed at this time). When changing the port number, you must first
investigate the ports that are currently being used by all the products in your
network (both Nortel and third-party products). Then choose a port that
does not cause a conflict between any of these products. For a list of ports
used by Contact Center Manager Administration, see the Contact Center
After restoring your data, you must perform the following tasks:
Manually reconfigure your Real-Time Reporting and Emergency Help
configuration settings. These settings must the same as they were prior to
the data restoration.
Reactivate scheduled assignments.
Launch the Historical Reporting component in Contact Center Manager
Administration. In the scheduled events window, select all scheduled
assignments and click Activate.
Launch the Contact Center Management component in Contact Center
Manager Administration. Open each scheduled assignment and
reactivate.
If you have Network Control Center (NCC), go to the Configuration
component of Contact Center Manager Administration and reactivate all
routing table scheduled assignments.
For more detailed information, consult the online Help on the Veritas web site at
www.veritas.com.
If you have a replicating server installed, and if you configured your Agent
Desktop Display with IP addresses for standby servers, use the procedure below
to switch to the standby server in the event of a failure on the primary server.
Introduction
If you change the computer name of the Contact Center Manager Administration
server after installation, you must perform postchange tasks to successfully
connect to a Contact Center Manager Administration server with a new name.
The tips for changing the computer name and suggested postchange tasks vary
based on whether the server is coresident with Contact Center Manager Server
or stand-alone. See the appropriate scenario below for a list of the required tasks.
ATTENTION
You must update your Domain Name Server (DNS) or
HOSTS table to reflect the new name of the Contact Center
Manager Administration server for your Contact Center
Manager Administration to function correctly. For information
about updating the DNS or the HOSTS table, see the Contact
Center Manager Administration Technical Requirements and
Operating System Configuration Guide.

Configuring the NMS 1730
Using the Windows Event Viewer 1731
Overview
Introduction
Events are log entries that record activities on Contact Center Manager
Administration, such as
sending or receiving messages
opening or closing applications
errors
Some events are for information purposes only, while others can indicate
problems. Events are categorized by severity.
Event severity
Events are assigned a default severity of Information, Minor, Major, or Critical.
The Alarm Monitor does not report Information-level events.
Information
These events indicate that something noteworthy has happened on the system,
but do not mean that there is a problem. For example, an information-level event
can indicate that a service has started or stopped. These events appear in the
Event Browser but not in the Alarm Monitor.
Minor
These events indicate that a non-service-affecting fault condition exists and that
you must take corrective action to prevent a more serious fault. For example, a
minor event is generated when the file system is 90 percent full.
Major
These events indicate that a service-affecting condition has developed and an
urgent corrective action is required. The event condition can cause severe
degradation in server performance, and you must restore full capacity. For
example, a major event is generated when the file system is 100 percent full.
Critical
These events indicate that a service-affecting condition has occurred and an
immediate corrective action is required. Critical events are reported when a
component is completely out of service and you must take immediate action to
restore it. For example, a critical event is generated when the file system crashes.
Introduction
Windows Server 2003 provides a Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) agent, which runs as a service on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server. You can use this service to forward events to a Network
Management System (NMS) on your network. To do so, you must do the
following tasks:
Configure the Windows SNMP service on the server (see “To configure the
Windows SNMP service” on page 1720).
Select the types of events to be forwarded to the NMS (see “To select the
types of events to be forwarded” on page 1723).
Configure the NMS. For more information about configuring your NMS to
receive and interpret traps, consult your NMS documentation.
Use the Event to Trap Translator (evntwin.exe) that is packaged with Windows
Server 2003 to select the events to be forwarded to the Network Management
System (NMS).

Deciding between a workgroup and a domain 1736
Changing the network settings of your server from workgroup to domain 1738
Changing the network settings of your server from domain to workgroup 1745
Overview
Introduction
This chapter provides information that will help you decide whether to place
your Contact Center Manager Administration server in a workgroup or a
domain.
It also provides procedures for changing your server from a domain member to a
workgroup member and vice-versa.
Domain
A domain is a grouping of accounts and network resources under a single
domain name and administrative boundary.
Workgroup
A workgroup is a more basic grouping, intended to help users find objects such
as printers and shared folders within that group.
Because Windows 2000 domain controllers do not have the additional Windows
Server 2003 security policies, when the Contact Center Manager Administration
server is running Windows Server 2003 and you add the server to a Windows
2000 domain controller, you can only apply the Windows 2000 group security
policies that are common to Windows Server 2003. All new Windows Server
2003 security policies that are not available in the Windows 2000 domain
controller must be controlled by the Windows Server 2003 local security policy.
If the server is running Windows Server 2003 and you add the server to a
Windows Server 2003 domain controller, then you can define the security
policies in the Organizational Unit (OU) of the Contact Center Manager
Administration server and combine this with the local server security policies for
an effective security setting.
You may need to adjust your group policies for Contact Center Manager
Administration or exclude the Contact Center Manager Administration server
from a specific group policy if conflicts are identified. For more information
about group policies and Contact Center Manager Administration, see the
Contact Center - Manager Security Guide. This guide is available to distributors
and channel partners who have access to the Partner Information Center web site
at www.nortel.com/pic.
Introduction
If you place your Contact Center Manager Administration server in a domain,
your administration is centralized and you can access associated Windows
networking functionality.
The table lists the differences in networking functionality available when your
Contact Center Manager Administration server is part of a domain and when the
Contact Center Manager Administration server is part of a workgroup.
NETWORK
FUNCTIONALITY WORKGROUP DOMAIN
4 In the Computer Name Changes window, you can change the computer’s
name and its domain or workgroup affiliation. To add the server to an
existing domain, click the Domain option button, and then type the name of
the domain (you must provide the fully qualified domain name of the
domain, which includes the prefix and suffix).
5 Click OK.
Result: A window appears asking you for a name and password with
permission to join the domain.
You have three options for ensuring that the user imported report templates are
synchronized after moving the Contact Center Manager Administration server
from workgroup to domain.
Notes:
6 In the Select Domain Name field, select the name of the domain that you
want to add from the drop-down menu.
6 Click Delete.
Result: The system deletes the domain account and reverts the scheduled
report account to iceAdmin.
7 Click OK.
4 In the Computer Name Changes window, you can change the computer’s
name and its domain or workgroup affiliation. Click the Workgroup option
button, and then type the name of the workgroup.
5 Click OK.
Result: A window appears asking you for a name and password with
permission to remove the computer from the domain.

Introduction
This section includes required and optional procedures that you can perform to
increase the level of security on the Contact Center Manager Administration
server. It does not include information about security issues that are external to
the Contact Center Manager Administration server (for example, firewall setup
and configuration).
Notes:
The default installation of Windows Server 2003 on a newly partitioned
server does not include the Everyone group. However, if you have
installed the operating system on a partition that contains previous
operating system elements, then you must manually remove this
account. For details, see the Contact Center Manager Administration
Technical Requirements and Operating System Configuration Guide.
Unlike in Windows 2000 Server, in which you can optionally replace
the default anonymous Internet user account with an account of your
choice, in Windows Server 2003 you must manually change the default
anonymous Internet guest account to the IUSR_SWC account after you
install Contact Center Manager Administration. Because this procedure
is mandatory, it is covered in the installation section. For details, see
“Step 11. Add the IUSR_SWC account as the anonymous user account”
on page 135.
For security information related to cookies, see “To configure Internet
Explorer 6.0 on the client PC” on page 258.
To ensure that your Internet browser cache settings are set correctly,
follow the appropriate procedure for configuring your version of
Internet Explorer. See “Step 3. Configure Internet Explorer” on page

Introduction
Windows Server 2003 with the latest supported service pack contains new
security enhancements that impact Contact Center Manager Administration.
Security Configuration Wizard allows you to configure server security
based on existing server roles. The wizard identifies and stops services
which are not required to perform existing server roles which reduces
Windows 2003 exposure to attack.
Windows Firewall is the successor to Internet Connection Firewall.
Windows Firewall is a host (or software) firewall around each client and
server in the network. You must ensure that Windows Firewall is enabled
in order that it can protect your network systems.
Nortel recommends that you install and run the Security Configuration Wizard
on the Contact Center Manager Administration server after Contact Center
Manager Administration is successfully installed and configured (including the
required multicast and unicast configurations).

Introduction
The latest supported service pack for Windows Server 2003 contains several
security enhancements to Internet Explorer. These new Internet Explorer
security enhancements can impact Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0
client operation if Internet Explorer is not configured properly.
Configure Internet Explorer with the following settings on all servers using
Windows Server 2003 with the latest supported service pack that are used to
launch Contact Center Manager Administration client sessions.
9 On the Internet Explorer menu, click Tools > Pop-up Blocker > Pop-up
Blocker Settings.
Result: The Pop-up Blocker settings window appears.
10 In the Address of Web site to allow field, type the Contact Center
Manager Administration website address (for example, http://pbrwd0p0)
11 Click Add.
12 Click Close.
13 Restart Internet Explorer to activate your changes.
Introduction
The following two Microsoft tools enable you to add additional security features
to an IIS web server, such as the Contact Center Manager Administration server:
IIS Lockdown
URLScan
The default installation of Windows Server 2003 includes IIS 6.0, which has
built-in IIS Lockdown functions. On this operating system, therefore, you do not
have to install IIS Lockdown separately, as is required with previous versions of
IIS. However, if you want to use the additional functionality and features of
URLScan, or simply maintain your current security setup, you may want to
download and install the URLScan tool (version 2.5 or later) with IIS 6.0.
The procedure in this section illustrates how to download and install the
URLScan tool. This is an optional procedure that lets you further secure the
Contact Center Manager Administration server.
Note: The default URLScan configuration blocks the transfer of all files with
the .exe extension. Therefore, when this feature is enabled, administrators
cannot download the Contact Center Manager Configuration Tool spreadsheets
(which have an .exe extension), nor can they automatically upgrade the version
of the Agent Desktop Display software that is installed on the client PCs, as this
process also requires the downloading of an .exe file from the Contact Center
Manager Administration server.
Nortel recommends that you download all the needed configuration templates to
the required PC and upgrade all the Agent Desktop Display client PCs prior to
enabling URLScan on the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
Alternatively, if you need to download a spreadsheet (or another .exe file) while
URLScan is enabled, then you can temporarily alter the urlscan.ini file to allow
this activity, provided that it conforms to your company’s security policy. For
more information, see “To temporarily edit the urlscan.ini file” on page 1800.
Note: Nortel recommends that you do not use the Contact Center Manager
Administration server to download files directly from the Internet because this
can pose a security risk. Instead, download the required file to another computer,
check the file to ensure that is virus-free, and then transfer the file to the Contact
Center Manager Administration server.
1 On a computer other than the Contact Center Manager Administration
server, open Internet Explorer.
2 In Internet Explorer, navigate to the following Microsoft web page:
www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=23D18937-DD7E-
4613-9928-7F94EF1C902A&displaylang=en
Result: The URLscan 2.5 Install Package page appears.
3 Click Download.
Result: The File Download window appears, enabling you to open the
installation program immediately, or save the installation file to disk.
4 Click Save, and then navigate to the folder in which you want to save the
file setup.exe.
5 After the file is saved, scan the file to ensure that it is virus-free.
6 Transfer the setup.exe file to the folder of your choice on the Contact
Center Manager Administration server.
7 Double-click the setup.exe file.
Result: The license window appears.
8 Click Yes.
Result: The program installs the URLScan software, and then the
URLScan Installer window appears, notifying you that it was successfully
installed.
9 Click OK.
What’s next?
You must edit the urlscan.ini file to allow files with the .asp extension to be
transferred from the Contact Center Manager Administration server, a
requirement for proper Contact Center Manager Administration functionality.
Optionally, you can also edit this file to allow the transfer of files with the .exe
extension (so users can download the Contact Center Manager Configuration
Tool spreadsheets).
The default installation of URLScan also prevents users from downloading files
with the .exe extension from the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
Because the Contact Center Manager Configuration Tool spreadsheets have the
.exe extension, administrators cannot download these spreadsheets when the
URLScan features are enabled, nor can they automatically upgrade the version
of the Agent Desktop Display software that is installed on the client PCs, as this
process also requires the downloading of an .exe file from the Contact Center
Manager Administration server.
Nortel recommends that you download all the needed configuration templates to
the required PC and upgrade all the Agent Desktop Display client PCs prior to
enabling URLScan on the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
If you need to download a spreadsheet (or another .exe file) while URLScan is
enabled, then you can temporarily alter the urlscan.ini file to allow this activity,
provided that it conforms to your company’s security policy. After users have
finished downloading the required files, edit and save this file again to return the
security settings to their default state.
1 On the Contact Center Manager Administration server, open the urlscan.ini
file with a text editor, such as Notepad. The default location for this file is
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\urlscan\
where C is the drive on which you installed the operating system.
2 In this file, locate the section beginning with [DenyExtensions].
3 Within this section of the file, locate and comment out the value .asp
(shown in the figure Notepad) by typing a semi-colon (;) before this value.
Introduction
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the industry standard for secure network
communications. SSL uses encryption that cannot be deciphered without a key
between the client computer and the server.
SSL is best used for private data that is sent between the client and server (for
example, authentication credentials, credit card numbers, and so on). Because
SSL uses complex encryption, it requires considerable processor resources, and,
as a result, it takes much longer to send and retrieve data from an SSL-enabled
server. Therefore, enable SSL only on web pages (ASP pages) that send and
receive sensitive information.
Note: You do not have to enable SSL on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server; this is an optional procedure that you can perform if you
think that leaving this feature disabled poses a security risk to your organization.
To enable SSL on the Contact Center Manager Administration server, you must
perform the following two procedures:
1. Obtain and install a digital Web Server Certificate for the Contact Center
Manager Administration IIS default web site.
2. Enable SSL on specific Contact Center Manager Administration files.
3. On the client PC, add https://<Contact Center Manager Administration
Server Name> as a trusted site in Internet Explorer in addition to http://
<Contact Center Manager Administration Server Name>.
In IIS, you install the certificate on the default web site (where the Symposium
Web Client virtual directories are installed) by using the Web Server Certificate
Wizard to request a new certificate from an online Certification Authority (CA),
such as VeriSign. When you run the wizard, you can send the request online or
save the request file to disk and send it to the CA later. When you receive a
response from the CA, you can start the wizard again to complete the certificate
installation.
Tasks for which you can enable SSL on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server
You can only enable SSL for the following Contact Center Manager
Administration tasks, not for the entire web site:
logging on to the Contact Center Manager Administration server
changing the logon password
See the following procedure for a list of the specific Contact Center Manager
Administration files on which you enable SSL.
5 In the right pane, scroll down to the bottom to locate the series of .asp files
listed under the Default Web Site heading above.
9 Click to select the check box beside Require secure channel (SSL).
10 Click OK.
11 Perform steps 4 to 8 for each of the files listed at the beginning of this
procedure. When you are finished, close the Internet Information Services
(IIS) Manager window.
12 After you have enabled SSL for each of the files, in an Internet Explorer
browser window, click Tools > Internet Options.
13 Click the Advanced tab.
14 Scroll down to the bottom of the Settings box until you see the Security
section.
15 Select the Warn if changing between secure and not secure mode
option.
Note: If you do not want to receive a warning message each time you log
on to Contact Center Manager Administration, then leave this option
cleared.
16 Click OK.
17 On the client PC, add https://<Contact Center Manager Administration
Server Name> as a trusted site in Internet Explorer on the client PC in
Introduction
Given the number of operating system security patches and the complexity
inherent in any network, Nortel recommends that you create a systematic and
accountable process for identifying and applying patches.
To help create such a process, you can follow a series of best practices
guidelines, as documented in the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) Special Bulletin 800-40, Procedures for Handling Security Patches.
This bulletin suggests that if an organization does not have a centralized group
to coordinate the storage, evaluation, and chronicling of security patches into a
library, then system administrators or the contact center administrator must
fulfill this role.
check to see if Nortel has already verified the Microsoft patch for its
compatibility with Contact Center Manager Administration by going to the
Contact Center Portfolio Service Packs Compatibility and Security Hotfixes
Applicability List at www.nortel.com.
Introduction
Nortel Contact Center 6.0 is provides a set of predefined Windows Server 2003
Security Templates that can be deployed quickly to secure the Nortel Contact
Center 6.0 suite of servers.
You can activate the Nortel Contact Center security template locally or as a
group policy in an Active Directory in which the Contact Center Manager
Administration is located. You can deploy the Security Template either before or
after you have installed the server software.
If you are activating the Nortel Contact Center Security Template locally (on the
server on which you installed Contact Center Manager Administration), you
must select the applicable Security Template for the Nortel Contact Center
application server and download the selected template from the Meridian PEP
Library web site (www.nortel.com/espl) to the local disk drive. When the file is
downloaded, you can import and configure the Security Template using the
Microsoft Security Configuration and Analysis utility.
8 Click OK.
9 In the Console window, right-click Security Configuration and Analysis.
10 Click Open Database.
11 In the File Name box, enter a new database name (for example CCMA 6.0
Security Template).
12 Click Open.
Result: The Import Template window appears.
13 Select CCMA Security Template.inf, and then click Open.
14 In the Console window, right-click Security Configuration and Analysis.
15 Click Analyze Computer Now.
Result: The Perform Analysis window appears. The default location for the
Security Template log is C:\Documents and Setttings\Administrator\My
Documents\Security\Logs\. If you want to change the location in which the
Security Template log is stored, do so now.
16 Click OK.
18 Click OK.
19 Restart the server to activate the new security policy and configuration.

Introduction
If you experience technical difficulties, ensure that you have downloaded the
latest Service Updates and addenda for both Contact Center Manager Server and
Contact Center Manager Administration. You can download the latest
installation or documentation addendum from either www.nortel.com (for end
customers), or www.nortel.com/pic (for distributors), and the latest Service
Updates from www.nortel.com/espl.
Note: To register for the ESPL web site, follow the instructions listed at
www.nortel.com/register.
Remote Support
Nortel personnel use pcAnywhere as the preferred remote support tool.
Alternatively, Nortel also accepts Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection as a
remote support tool. To install your remote support access tool, refer to “Step 2.
Install your remote support access tool,” on page 57.
Note: Nortel recommends that you only install one of the supported remote
access tools (pcAnywhere or Remote Desktop Connection) on the Contact
Center Manager Administration server.
Problem
You have upgraded to Contact Center Manager Administration, but Contact
Center Manager Administration is not functioning correctly. For example, pages
and tabs will not load correctly, new components and features are unavailable,
scripting errors occur, and so on.
Solution
Ensure that you have refreshed your Contact Center Manager Servers. Although
Contact Center Manager Administration automatically refreshes all servers
every 12 hours, Nortel recommends that you manually refresh servers in the
following scenarios to ensure that Contact Center Manager Administration
functions correctly.
If any of the following situations have occurred, use the Refresh All Servers
option to refresh all servers at the same time:
You have upgraded from Symposium Web Client 4.5 SUS0601 v1 or later,
or have upgraded from a previous version of Contact Center Manager
Administration.
The Contact Center Manager Administration server is changed to connect
to a standby Contact Center Manager Server.
If any of the following situations have occurred, use the Refresh Server option
to refresh only the Contact Center Manager Server that has incurred a change:
You have upgraded the Symposium Call Center Server or Contact Center
Manager Server.
You have installed or uninstalled a Service Update (SU) on the Contact
Center Manager Server.
A new license file has been issued and accepted by Contact Center Manager
Server, or you connect to a different License Manager server (that is, a new
or standby License Manager server).
Note: If you have changed the password of sysadmin in the Server Utility, you
will need to change the password in that server.
ATTENTION
Only the default administrator, webadmin, can add, edit, delete
and refresh servers in Contact Center Manager Server. When
you refresh a server, you refresh Contact Center Manager
Server data associated with that server in ADAM, such as
release number, feature list, and networking information.
4 Click Yes.
5 Click Yes.
Result: The system refreshes all servers in the system tree. A message is
displayed in the information bar at the bottom of the screen which lists the
servers that have been successfully refreshed and the servers that did not
refresh. An entry specifying the servers that were successfully refreshed
will also appear in the Audit Trail.
ATTENTION
Only the default administrator, webadmin, can add, edit, delete
and refresh servers in Contact Center Manager Server. When
you refresh a server, you refresh Contact Center Manager
Server data associated with that server in ADAM, such as
release number, feature list, and networking information.
5 Click Yes.
Note: You can also right-click the server that you want to refresh. Then
select Refresh Server from the menu. The system asks if you are sure you
want to refresh the selected server.
Result: The system warns that all browsers using Contact Center Manager
Administration need to be refreshed. This is because if there has been a
feature change to the Contact Center Manager Server, the change will not
be reflected in the browsers until they are refreshed.
6 Click Yes.
Result: The system refreshes the server in the system tree. A message is
displayed in the information bar at the bottom of the screen to indicate that
the server has been successfully refreshed.
Error Message
Page cannot be displayed.
Problem
After uninstalling Contact Center Manager Administration and SP1 on a
Windows 2003 server, you cannot log on after reinstalling Contact Center
Manager Administration. When attempting to log on to Contact Center Manager
Administration, you receive the error message:
Page cannot be displayed
This problem occurs because the asp.dll version number changes when you
uninstall SP1. Therefore, you cannot launch ASP pages.
Solution
You must reset the asp.dll version number by performing the following steps:
1 Uninstall Contact Center Manager Administration from the application
server.
2 Uninstall IIS (Internet Information Services) and ASP.net components on
the application server.
3 Reinstall IIS (Internet Information Services) and ASP.net components on
the application server.
4 Reinstall Contact Center Manager Administration on the application
server.
Error Message
Error 1920. Service CCMA LMService (CCMALMService)
failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient
privileges to start system services.
Problem
An installation of SU02 or SUS0201 fails because the License Manage service
does not start if the ServerSoapName key in the registry is greater than 24
characters. The ServerSoapName value exceeds 24 characters when your site
references the Contact Center Manager Administration fully qualified domain
name in the SOAP files, and you enter a URL of more than 24 characters in the
SOAP Configuration Parameters window during the Contact Center Manager
Administration installation.
Solution
To resolve this problem, you must temporarily change the ServerSOAPName
value in the registry to be less than 24 characters. After the installation
completes successfully, you can revert to the original ServerSOAPName
containing more than 24 characters.
Notes:
For Report Creation Wizard to function with a ServerSOAPName greater
than 24 characters, you must install DP020101 after you install SU02 and
SUS0201 using the workaround detailed above.
If the above solution does not correct the problem, register the
wclientaudittrail.dll using the following command in the Run prompt:
Regsrv32 “C:\Program Files\Nortel
Networks\WClient\Server\wclientaudittrail.dll”
Then click Retry on the License Manager Service Error dialog box.
Error Message
There is no file extension in "C:\PROGA~1\Nortel"
Problem
After you input the password information for the iceAdmin account during
Contact Center Manager Administration installation, you receive the following
Windows Script Host error message:
There is no file extension in "C:\PROGA~1\Nortel".
The Contact Center Manager Administration installation will not install the
ADAM application even though the installer acknowledges the error and
attempts to continue with the Contact Center Manager Administration
installation.
This problem occurs when the capability to generate 8.3 style short filenames
has been disabled in your Windows operating system either as part of its
operating system image or through your security policy.
Solution
You must change the value of the following registry key from 1 to 0 to enable the
generation of 8.3 style short filenames:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Filesystem\ntf
sdisable8dot3namecreation
Error Message
This action is only valid for products that are
currently installed.
Problem
If you have multiple Administrator accounts, you must ensure that you always
use the same account to install or uninstall Service Updates, Service Update
Supplements, and Designer Patches on the server. If you install an update with
one account and then try to install the next update or uninstall the current patch
while logged on as a different account, the installation or uninstallation fails, and
a Windows Installer error is reported toward the end of the procedure.
Solution
To verify the user account that installed the software, SU, SUS, or DP
Use Add/Remove Programs to verify the user account that installed the software,
Service Updates, Service Update Supplements, or Designer Patches. If you tried
to install the next update or uninstall the current patch while logged on as a
different user account, complete the following procedures:

to resolve the issue.
Error Message
Cannot find script file PortLdap.vbs
Problem
You are reinstalling Contact Center Manager Administration on a server that is
running Windows Server 2003, but the installation halts and you receive an error
message that says the program cannot find a script file called PortLdap.vbs.
Solution
This problem occurs only when you are reinstalling Contact Center Manager
Administration on a server that is running Windows Server 2003, and you have
tried to install the software in a different directory than that in which it was
originally installed. When reinstalling Contact Center Manager Administration
on a server that is running this operating system, you must install the software in
the same directory in which it was originally installed, or this error will occur.
In this case, you must first completely uninstall, and then reinstall the Contact
Center Manager Administration software, choosing the same directory in which
it was originally installed.
Error message
nbclt_translator.mdb error

7 Relaunch Server Utility.
Problem
You have made a change to the Contact Center Manager Server (for example,
performed an upgrade, installed or uninstalled an SU, changed to a standby
Contact Center Manager server, or a new license file has been issued), and the
Contact Center Manager Administration will no longer functioning correctly.
For example, pages and tabs will not load correctly, new components and
features are unavailable, scripting errors occur, and so on.
Solution
Ensure that you have refreshed your Contact Center Manager Servers. Although
Contact Center Manager Administration automatically refreshes all servers
every 12 hours, Nortel recommends that you manually refresh servers in the
following scenarios to ensure that Contact Center Manager Administration
functions correctly.
If any of the following situations have occurred, use the Refresh All Servers
option to refresh all servers at the same time:
You have upgraded from Symposium Web Client 4.5 SUS0601 v1 or later,
or have upgraded from a previous version of Contact Center Manager
Administration.
The Contact Center Manager Administration server is changed to connect
to a standby Contact Center Manager Server.
If any of the following situations have occurred, use the Refresh Server option
to refresh only the Contact Center Manager Server that has incurred a change:
You have upgraded the Symposium Call Center Server or Contact Center
Manager Server.
You have installed or uninstalled a Service Update (SU) on the Contact
Center Manager Server.
A new license file has been issued and accepted by Contact Center Manager
Server, or you connect to a different License Manager server (that is, a new
or standby License Manager server).
Note: If you have changed the password of sysadmin in the Server Utility, you
will need to change the password in that server.
ATTENTION
Only the default administrator, webadmin, can add, edit, delete
and refresh servers in Contact Center Manager Server. When
you refresh a server, you refresh Contact Center Manager
Server data associated with that server in ADAM, such as
release number, feature list, and networking information.
4 Click Yes.
5 Click Yes.
Result: The system refreshes all servers in the system tree. A message is
displayed in the information bar at the bottom of the screen which lists the
servers that have been successfully refreshed and the servers that did not
refresh. An entry specifying the servers that were successfully refreshed
will also appear in the Audit Trail.

Server data associated with that server in ADAM, such as
release number, feature list, and networking information.
5 Click Yes.
Note: You can also right-click the server that you want to refresh. Then
select Refresh Server from the menu. The system asks if you are sure you
want to refresh the selected server.
Result: The system warns that all browsers using Contact Center Manager
Administration need to be refreshed. This is because if there has been a
feature change to the Contact Center Manager Server, the change will not
be reflected in the browsers until they are refreshed.
6 Click Yes.
Result: The system refreshes the server in the system tree. A message is
displayed in the information bar at the bottom of the screen to indicate that
the server has been successfully refreshed.
Problem
There are a number of issues that may cause an inability to communicate with
the Contact Center Manager Server.
First, check to make sure that the Contact Center Manager Server IP address that
you are using is valid.
Solution
After you have performed your testing, take appropriate action as required.
Problem
If you have changed the computer name of the Contact Center Manager Server
or if you have switched to a standby Contact Center Manager Server with a new
name, you need to change the name of the Contact Center Manager Server on
the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
Solution
A new feature in Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0 enables Contact
Center Manager Administration server to be easily reconfigured to connect to a
secondary Contact Center Manager Server (different computer name/IP
address). This allows Contact Center Manager Administration to continue to
communicate with a new standby Contact Center Manager Server; that is,
retrieve all the data stored in the application server for that server even though it
now has a different name.
When a Contact Center Manager Server is changed to a different computer name
and/or IP address, the following procedure must be performed on the Contact
Center Manager Administration server.
To change the computer name of the Contact Center Manager Server on
the Contact Center Manager Administration server
1 Log on to the CCMA as webadmin user.
2 Open the Configuration component.
3 In the left pane, right click the name of the server that has had its network
settings altered.
4 Click Edit Properties. This will enable the text fields for the servers name,
IP address, logon ID and password.
5 Enter the new details and click Submit.
Problem
If you change the computer name of the Contact Center Manager Administration
server, you must perform postchange tasks to successfully connect to a Contact
Center Manager Administration server with a new name.
Solution
The tips for changing the computer name and suggested postchange tasks vary
based on whether the server is coresident with Contact Center Manager Server
or stand-alone. See the appropriate scenario below for the solution:
ATTENTION
You must update your Domain Name Server (DNS) or HOSTS
table to reflect the new name of the Contact Center Manager
Administration server for your Contact Center Manager
Administration to function correctly. For information about
updating the DNS or the HOSTS table, see the Contact Center
Manager Administration Technical Requirements and
Operating System Configuration Guide.
ATTENTION
You must update your Domain Name Server (DNS) or HOSTS
table to reflect the new name of the Contact Center Manager
Administration server for your Contact Center Manager
Administration to function correctly. For information about
updating the DNS or the HOSTS table, see the Contact Center
Manager Administration Technical Requirements and
Operating System Configuration Guide.
1 Make note of the path that appears in the message. If you have already
closed the message, you can make it reappear by launching the same
Contact Center Manager Administration component again (for example,
Configuration).
2 On the Contact Center Manager Administration server, open a command
prompt and navigate to the directory C:\Program Files\Nortel
Networks\WClient\Apps\Supportutil, where C is the drive on which Contact
Center Manager Administration is installed.
3 At the prompt, type the following text (which includes the path that appears
in the message):
ChangeSOAPSrv C:\Program Files\Nortel
Networks\WClient\Apps\Common\SOAP;<computer name>
where <computer name> is the name of the server, or the fully qualified
domain name, if this is what you use as the Contact Center Manager
Administration default URL (for example, <computername>.<domain
name>.com).
4 Press Enter.
Result: A window appears, showing the updated SOAP files.
5 Try launching and working with the same Contact Center Manager
Administration component again (for example, Configuration).

Problem
There are a number of issues that may cause client PCs to be unable to
communicate with the Contact Center Manager Administration server. You must
identify the source of your problem before determining the solution.
Solution
First, check that the Contact Center Manager Administration username and
password are valid.
If you have confirmed that the username and password are valid, you must check
the following issues to identify your specific problem:
Test the communication from the client to the Contact Center Manager
Administration server.
Verify that web users have permissions on all directories in the Contact
Center Manager Administration web site. When Contact Center Manager
Administration is installed, it uses the default settings stored in IIS. If web
users do not have permissions, contact your site administrator For details
about changing the settings in IIS.
If you have configured a Domain Name Server (DNS), verify that the
computer name of the Contact Center Manager Administration server is
registered on the DNS. If the computer name is not registered on your DNS,
then Contact Center Manager Administration will not function properly.
If you have not configured a DNS server, verify that you have added the
computer name of the Contact Center Manager Administration server to the
HOSTS table on each client PC that accesses Contact Center Manager
Administration.
Check if Internet Explorer uses a proxy server.
Ensure that the IIS service is running on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server.
To add the computer name of the CCMA server to the HOSTS table on each
client PC (if you have not configured a DNS)
Nortel recommends that the Contact Center Manager Administration server host
name be resolved by the corporate DNS. However, if you did not configure a
name resolution server during the operating system installation, then the client
PCs that connect to Contact Center Manager Administration cannot find the
Contact Center Manager Administration server. In this case, your next step is to
manually update the HOSTS table on each client PC with the name and Nortel
Server subnet network interface IP address of the Contact Center Manager
Administration server.
Based on the operating system installed on the client PC, sample host tables are
located in varying directories. With the Windows 2003 installation, for example,
sample HOSTS tables are provided in the following directory:
[x]:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
On each client PC, use a text editor to modify the HOSTS tables by entering the
computer name and IP address of the Contact Center Manager Administration
server.
ATTENTION
You do not have to use HOSTS tables for name resolution if
the name of the Contact Center Manager Administration
server is registered on a DNS server.
Sample HOSTS tables are provided below as a guideline, but are not intended to
indicate exactly how the HOSTS tables should be configured on the client PC.
ATTENTION
Incorrectly modifying a HOSTS table on the client PC can
cause extensive network problems. Before you modify any
of the HOSTS tables on the client PC, you must carefully
review the detailed information about HOSTS in the
supporting Microsoft documentation.
At the end of the file, type the IP address and computer name of the Contact
Center Manager Administration server. Separate the two values by using the
space or tab key.
After you edit and save the HOSTS file, the system automatically reads your
new settings. If you are editing the sample HOSTS file, then save the file with no
extension to enable the system to recognize your changes.
If the event viewer log properties are set to the default value of overwriting
events after seven days, then the event log may become full, preventing Contact
Center Manager Administration users from logging on to the Contact Center
Manager Administration server.
To avoid this problem, after you install Windows Server 2003, configure each of
the event viewer logs on the Contact Center Manager Administration server to
Overwrite events as needed by following these instructions.
1 On the Contact Center Manager Administration server, click Start > All
Programs > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer.
Result: The Event Viewer window appears, listing the log files on the Tree
tab.
2 On the Tree tab, right-click the first log file, Application Log, and from the
menu, click Properties.
Result: The corresponding Properties window appears.
3 In the Log size area of the window, ensure the Overwrite events as
needed option is selected.
4 Click OK to save your changes and close the Properties window.
5 Perform this procedure for each of the log files in the tree.
Problem
To identify the source of your problem, check the following items:
Check that you are using the version 6.0 of Internet Explorer with the latest
supported Service Pack on the client PC. For information about the service
packs that have been validated with Contact Center Manager
Administration, consult the Contact Center Portfolio Service Packs
Compatibility and Security Hotfixes Applicability List located at
www.nortel.com.
Check that you have configured security in Internet Explorer correctly. For
more information, see “Step 2. Upgrade the browser on client
workstations” on page 254.
If you are getting error messages from Internet Explorer indicating that
your web site cannot run Out of Process components, follow the steps in
“To enable Out of Process components”.
Solution:
Depending on the source of your problem, you may have to reinstall the correct
version of Internet Explorer on the client PC, or reconfigure Internet Explorer on
the client PC.
If you receive an error message that your web site cannot run Out of Process
components, perform the following procedure:
To enable Out of Process components
1 Create a script called AspAllowOutOfProcComponents.vbs using any text
editor. Insert the following commands:
objWebService.SetInfo
Problem
Your client PC has Windows XP with Service Pack 2 installed. When you open a
browser and log on to Contact Center Manager Administration, you receive
messages regarding the running of .msi files (for example, the ClientSoap.msi
file). The following message appears:
The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you
want to run this software?
Additionally, an error message appears, notifying you that connections are being
blocked by firewall errors. Your options are Keep blocking, Unblock, or Ask
later.
Solution
These messages appear only when the client PC is running Windows XP with
Service Pack 2. With this operating system and service pack, Microsoft has
changed the installer version, preventing certain .msi files from being
automatically downloaded and installed.
The first part of the solution involves the installation of the client portion of
Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). Because Contact Center Manager
Administration requires that you download and install the ClientSoap.msi file,
you must manually accept the download and installation of this file.
1 When the message “The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you
want to run this software?” appears, click Yes.
Result: The system installs the client portion of SOAP.
The second part of the solution involves opening the ports required for
downloading the ActiveX controls needed by Real-Time Reporting and
Emergency Help. When these ports are open, the firewall errors Keep blocking,
Unblock, or Ask later do not appear and you can automatically download these
controls when you launch these components.
2 Consult the Microsoft documentation for instructions for opening ports.
Then open the following ports individually:
Emergency Help, UDP
8200
Multicast real-time reports, UDP
7020;7030;7040;7050;7060;7070;7080;7090;7100;7110;7120;7130
Unicast real-time reports, UDP
7025; 7035; 7045; 7055; 7065; 7075; 7085; 7095; 7105; 7115; 7125;
7135
Result: You can now automatically download and install the ActiveX
controls required for Emergency Help and Real-Time Reporting.
Error Message
Page cannot be displayed.
Problem
After uninstalling Contact Center Manager Administration and SP1 on a
Windows 2003 server, you cannot log on after reinstalling Contact Center
Manager Administration. When attempting to log on to Contact Center Manager
Administration, you receive the error message:
Page cannot be displayed
This problem occurs because the asp.dll version number changes when you
uninstall SP1. Therefore, you cannot launch ASP pages.
Solution
You must reset the asp.dll version number by performing the following steps:
Problem
Your display settings are not optimized for the Contact Center Manager
Administration web interface.
Solution
Check the display settings on your computer.
Resize the font.
Problem
When you attempt to launch a window in Contact Center - Manager, the window
does not open. You may be presented with a message that says “Pop ups were
blocked on this page.”
Solution
Because the procedures to disable pop-up blockers vary depending on the type
of pop-up blocker, the procedure to disable your pop-up blocker may differ from
the procedures listed here. For more information about how to disable pop-up
blockers that are not listed here, contact the pop-up blocker provider.
Error Message
When attempting to load the Contact Center Manager Administration login
screen, the Connect to <CCMA server name> login window appears prompting

Solution
Check for the following possible sources of the problem:
1. Ensure that all Blocking Popups software has been removed or disabled.
2. Ensure that your servers have been refreshed.
Note: If you have changed the password of sysadmin in the Server Utility, you
will need to change the password in that server.
ATTENTION
Only the default administrator, webadmin, can add, edit, delete
and refresh servers in Contact Center Manager Server. When
you refresh a server, you refresh Contact Center Manager
Server data associated with that server in ADAM, such as
release number, feature list, and networking information.
4 Click Yes.
5 Click Yes.
Result: The system refreshes all servers in the system tree. A message is
displayed in the information bar at the bottom of the screen which lists the
servers that have been successfully refreshed and the servers that did not
refresh. An entry specifying the servers that were successfully refreshed
will also appear in the Audit Trail.
Error
Server tree icons are missing in the Contact Center Manager Administration
internet browser. Additionally, new supervisors and agents cannot be created in
the Contact Center Management component.
Problem
The file SSPNG2.dll has not been downloaded to c:\windows\system32 during
the Contact Center Manager Administration installation.
Solution
Extract SSPNG2.dll from c:\Program Files\Nortel
Networks\WClient\Apps\Common\Controls\ccTree.cab into
c:\windows\system32.
Introduction
There are various issues that can affect your Real-time Statistics Multicast. The
source of your problem can originate in the following network components:
the client PC
the Contact Center Manager Administration server
the Contact Center Manager Server
This section provides information about how to investigate the source of your
issue by analyzing symptoms and using tools provided by Nortel in each of the
network components.
Note: The IP multicast addresses that you select for RSM sending and receiving
must be within the 224.0.1.0 and 239.255.255.255 range. Check with your
network administrator for acceptable IP multicast addresses for your specific
network.
The following figure shows a display in which both icons are shown, indicating
that the Contact Center Manager Administration server supports both multicast
and unicast. In cases where only one transmission method is enabled, the
corresponding icon appears on the display alone.
After the display is launched, the icon indicates that the transmission mode that
is actually being used to launch the display. The following figure shows a
display that is receiving data through a unicast connection, a dedicated
connection between the Contact Center Manager Administration server and
client PC:
If this display were receiving multicast data, there would be a multicast icon at
the top and there would be no direct connection to the Contact Center Manager
Administration server. Instead, the client would be “listening” to a shared
multicast data stream.
This window appears on a client computer when it is receiving data, but the data
is not relevant for the current display (for example, when the information is not
available within the user’s partitions or the current filter blocks the data from the
display). The presence of the unicast icon indicates that a unicast connection was
successfully established and the client PC is receiving data packets.
This window appears on a client PC when it is not receiving any data. There is
no icon at the top of the window, indicating that the display is not receiving any
data. The Transmit Mode = Multicast note implies that the server only supports
multicast, but, in this case, the client PC is not receiving multicast data. This
may be the result of a network problem, or it may mean that the server can
support unicast, but it has not been enabled.
Report the problem to your administrator so that the administrator can check the
Contact Center Manager Administration server settings and enable unicast, if
necessary. The administrator may also check the network settings to determine
why the client PCs cannot receive multicast data.
Occasionally, the statistics in a real-time display may stop updating and the
characters * and 0 appear instead of the variable fields. In a unicast environment,
this indicates that the server has stopped sending data to this client.
You must close and reopen the display. In a multicast environment, this indicates
that the server may have stopped sending the multicast stream. Run a trace on
the Contact Center Manager Administration server if the problem persists.
Problem
When launching a real-time display, no data is presented.
Solution
On the Contact Center Manager Administration server, verify the following:
that the Contact Center Manager Server IP address can be correctly
resolved to the server name
that the Contact Center Manager Server name can be correctly resolved to
the expected IP address
3 Click OK.
Result: The Command Prompt window appears.
4 At the command prompt, type ping <Contact Center Manager Server
name>.
5 Press Enter.
Result: The Contact Center Manager Server IP address and the packets
sent and received are displayed.
Note: If unexpected results are returned, check your DNS setting and the
local host file on the server for incorrect entries.
6 At the command prompt, type ping -a <Contact Center Manager Server
IP Address>.
7 Press Enter.
Result: The Contact Center Manager Server name and the packets sent
and received are displayed.
8 If unexpected results are returned, check your DNS setting and the local
host file on the server for incorrect entries.
Problem
In Contact Center Manager Administration, to enable the real-time displays to
start properly, the system downloads and registers a new RTDControl to the
client PC when you launch a real-time display for the first time.
Solution
If you cannot launch real-time displays on a client PC, then it may be because
you have enforced user policies that deny access to the registry on the PC, and,
therefore, prevent the system from downloading and registering the new
RTDControl.
or
2. Download the Multicast Trace Tool.msi on the client PC.
Note: If you are having problems downloading third-party controls to the client
PC, it may be because of your local security settings. You must ensure that the
local security settings for the policy Unsigned non-driver installation behavior
are not set to Do not allow installation. For more information, see “To verify
your local security policy settings (Windows 2000 only)” on page 288.
7 Click Finish.
ATTENTION
The trace tool must be run from the MS-DOS command
prompt, and MS-DOS does not accept names with more than
eight characters on some Windows operating systems.
1 From the MS-DOS command prompt, change the directory to the folder on
the client PC to which the files were copied. For example:
c:\Program Files\Nortel\Contact Center\Multicast Trace tool
2 To check if data is being received by the client PC, type the following
command:
icertdtrace -r IPSend <IP Multicast send address> -s <CCMS server
name> -t <statistic type>
Note:
<statistic type> must be one of agent, application, skillset, ivr, nodal, or
route
The multicast address must be specified if the -s or -t options are used.
The -s or -t options can be used individually.
Example: icertdtrace -r IPSend 230.0.1.10 -s CCMSServer1 -t agent
Result: If the client PC is receiving statistics from the Contact Center
Manager Administration server, the data appears on the monitor. The data
is displayed by server name and statistic type, making it possible to see a
particular data stream from a particular server.
3 To stop the information from scrolling, press Ctrl+C. You can also view the
log file that captures the information, IPSndLog.txt, in the same directory.
Problem
There may be a problem with the permissions in IIS, the network settings, the
configuration of your DNS server, or there may be delays in the network causing
timeouts.
Solution
1. Check that IIS permissions are correctly configured.
2. Ensure an XML file loads in the browser.
3. Set the IP address field in IIS to All Unassigned.
4. Check address configurations for Host Headers.

other than Default appear, you must have an entry for localhost.
To ensure the anonymous user account has been assigned the correct
permissions
If your anonymous user account has been modified, this may cause *unknown*
to appear in Standard Agent Display. If the user specified is not the default, then
the new user must have access to all of the files under the Program Files\Nortel
Networks\WClient\Apps folder. Specifically, the user must be able to access the
“common\soaplisten” files.

Problem
For all users (except the webadmin user), the Network Consolidated Real-Time
Displays do not display data for a Contact Center Manager Server site
configured on the Contact Center Manager Administration server with a fully
qualified hostname (for example, CCMS_test1.enterprise.europe.nortel.com).
Skillsets from a server configured in this way will not display.
Solution
You must use the non-fully qualified hostname (for example, CCMS1_test1).
Checklist
Ensure that the LAN/WAN supports multicast traffic by contacting your
network administrator to confirm that the routers have multicast
capabilities.
Verify that you installed Microsoft Windows 2003 Service Pack 1. If you
did not install Service Pack 1, you may not have the Internet Group
Management Protocol (IGMP) hotfix patch that is required for real-time
statistics multicast.
Verify that you can send and receive data between Contact Center Manager
Server, the Contact Center Manager Administration server, and the Contact
Center Manager Administration server clients. For more information, see
“Using ICERTDTrace to trace IP multicast data,” on page 1883.
Confirm that the Real-time Statistics Multicast (RSM) components are
sending data to the same IP multicast address.
Check the IP Receive address for the Contact Center Manager
Administration server. Make sure that it matches the IP Send multicast
address setting in Contact Center Manager Server.
where [x] is the drive letter for the hard drive on which the operating system
is installed.
2 Enter the following command to trace data sent from Contact Center
Manager Server to the Contact Center Manager Administration server:
icertdtrace -r IPreceive <IP Multicast receive address> -s <CCMS
server name> -t <statistic type>
Note:
<statistic type> must be one of agent, application, skillset, ivr, nodal, or
route
The multicast address must be specified if the -s or -t options are used.
The -s or -t options can be used individually.
Result: The output log file is printed to the screen at run time to a text file to
the following location: <drive>:\Program Files\Nortel Networks\
WClient\Server\IPRcvLog.txt.
where [x] is the drive letter for the hard drive on which the operating system
is installed.
2 Enter the following command:
icertdtrace -r IPSend <IP Multicast send address> -s <CCMS server
name> -t <statistic type>
Note:
If the ICERtdTrace tool test shows that the server is receiving, but
not sending multicast
To solve this problem, check that the ICERtd Service is running.
Check the application event log in the Windows Event viewer. If the event log
contains errors relating to machine names or IP addresses, verify that all the
configured Contact Center Manager Servers can be reached by their specified
names (that is, ping the individual names and verify that the IP address that the
system uses in the ping is the same one that appears in the Contact Center
Manager Administration Configuration screen).
Problem:
Networked sites do not appear in the real-time network consolidated display
when the server is added by IP address rather than by name.
The nodal displays for the site function correctly when added by IP address.
Solution:
Modify the server configuration so that the server is entered by name.
Problem:
When launching an agent map saved in SWC 4.5 SU06, you receive the
following error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type Mismatch"
Solution:
Resubmit the agent map and launch the agent map again.
Change in the agent's name does not reflect in the Standard Agent
Display
Problem:
When you go to the agent details page in Contact Center Manager
Administration and change the first name and last name of an agent that is
logged out, the Standard Agent Display does not reflect the changed name of the
agent when you log on the same agent and relaunch the Standard Agent Display.
Solution:
Restart the Contact Center Manager Administration IceRTDService and
relaunch the Standard Agent Display.
d. Modify the IP address or the port number, or both. The IP address field
must be the multicast IP address of the Contact Center Manager
Server. The port number corresponds to the port number of the statistic
that you want to test.
Note: The port numbers listed within the section bordered by the number
(#) symbols in the mRcv.ini file are for reference only and list all of the
acceptable port numbers that you can use in your test. You can use these
port numbers as an easy-to-access list of valid ports that are being used in
the system to display data. The only portion of the mRcv.ini file that can be
modified is the [MCast] section at the bottom of the file.
For example, if you want to test receipt of Skillset - Interval to date data
using mRcv.exe, check the port number for Skillset - Interval to date in the
mRcv.ini file, and then change the port number for Skillset - Interval to date
in the mRcv.ini file, and then change the Port=setting in the [Mcast] section
to that port number. If Skillset - Interval to date = 6040 in the mRcv.ini file,
the [Mcast] section of the mRcv.ini file must be modified as follows:
[MCast]
IP=234.5.6.7
Port=6040
Attention: The IP address must match your IP multicast address.
e. Save the mRcv.ini file.
2 Click Start > Programs > Windows Explorer.
3 Navigate to the folder <drive>:\Nortel\iccm\bin.
4 Double-click mRcv.eve.
Result: The mRcv.exe utility opens in a console window. If data is
multicasted out, the command prompt window is populated with incoming
data from the port and IP address that you specified in the mRcv.ini file.
Note: The mRcv.exe utility displays all data being received on the selected
port, including data that is not recognizable by RSM. All non-RSM data is
identified as “Not recognized by RSM.”
5 Save the mRcv.exe utility data.
a. Run mRcv.exe from the command prompt (that is,
<drive>:\Nortel\iccm\bin\mrcv>log.txt).
Result: The log file with the name log.txt is saved in the same folder as
mRcv.exe.
3 Double-click MulticastCtrl.exe.
Result: The RTD Multicast controller window opens.
Problem
When you launch an ad hoc report, the report viewer is blank.
Solution
You must install the required third-party files on the client PC for the Crystal
Reports viewer to function properly. For details, see “Step 9. Install and
configure Agent Desktop Display” on page 300.
Problem
You are trying to run historical reports, but when you connect to the server in
Contact Center Manager Server, you see an error message in the ad hoc report
preview window saying “There is a problem connecting to the data source.”
Solution
The appropriate solution for this issue depends on the source of the problem.
This problem can occur when the bindings order of the ELAN subnet
network card and the Nortel Server subnet network card on the server in
Contact Center Manager Server is not set up correctly. You must configure
the bindings order of the network interface cards so that the Nortel Server
subnet card comes first, then the ELAN subnet card, and then the virtual
adapters for remote access. For details, see the solution listed in the entry,
““No Supervisors Defined” error messages appear in Contact Center
Management,” on page 1911.
This problem can occur if you have not refreshed your server. Perform a
Refresh Server in the Configuration component of Contact Center Manager
Administration to validate the configured server details. For information
about refreshing servers, see “To refresh a single server in the system
tree,” on page 1821.

c. Click Yes.
Note: You can also right-click the server that you want to refresh. Then
select Refresh Server from the menu. The system asks if you are sure you
want to refresh the selected server.
d. Click Yes.
10 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
Problem
You cannot print scheduled reports from the Historical Reporting component.
Solution
To print scheduled reports from the Historical Reporting component, you must
add and configure a local printer on the Contact Center Manager Administration
server while logged on as the administrator. To ensure the printer was configured
correctly, see “Option 1: To configure a network printer on the CCMA server”
on page 171.
Problem
This problem occurs because the Contact Center Manager Administration's IIS
directory security account (that is, IUSR_SWC) is not able to read the report
template on the network drive.
Solution
If CCMA is on a workgroup:
To verify the network access from Contact Center Manager Administration, map
the network drive on which the report template is stored by using the IIS
directory security account name and password (for example, IUSR_SWC) and
enter the password for this account.
Alternatively, you can use the net use command to verify whether you can map
to the report folder on the network drive from the Contact Center Manager
Administration server.
1 On the Contact Center Manager Administration server, go to MS DOS
prompt and run the net use command as follows:
NET USE \\<computername>\<sharename> password of IUSR_SWC /
USER:IUSR_SWC
2 If the network drive cannot be mapped, check the permission on the report
folder on the network drive.
3 If the network drive can be mapped but synchronization status shows
Access denied on the network drive, contact Nortel support.
If CCMA is on a domain and IIS directory security account is also using the
domain account:
To verify the network access from Contact Center Manager Administration, map
the network drive on which the report template is stored by using the domain
name\IIS directory security account name and password (for example,
MyDomain\Account Name) and enter the password for this account.
Alternatively, you can use the net use command to verify whether you can map
to the report folder on the network drive from the Contact Center Manager
Administration server.
1 On Contact Center Manager Administration server, go to MS DOS prompt
and run the net use command as follows:
NET USE \\<computername>\<sharename> password of IIS domain
account /USER:domain name\IIS Domain Account Name
2 If the network drive cannot be mapped, check the permission on the report
folder on the network drive.
3 If the network drive can be mapped but synchronization status shows
Access denied on the network drive, contact Nortel support.
Problem
This issue can occur when either the report is currently being run and
Synchronization was started at the same time, or if during the last successful
synchronization, the report template file that was copied had read-only attributes
on the network folder.
Solution
1. Make sure this report is not running.
2. Change the attributes of this report template on the network drive and
resave this report in Crystal software.
3. On Contact Center Manager Administration server, run the Synchronize
User Imported Report Templates again.
Problem:
A major architecture change occurred from Crystal Reports 8.5 to Crystal
Reports 9 and later versions. From Crystal Reports 9 onwards, Crystal Reports
are Unicode-compliant. This may cause delay or failure when importing and
generating reports on Contact Center Manager Administration if the report
templates were created in Crystal Reports 8.5 or earlier.
Solution:
Resave report templates that cannot be imported and that run on Crystal Reports
8.5 or earlier versions of Crystal Reports into Crystal Reports 9 or Crystal
Reports 10. After you resave the report templates into Crystal Reports 9 or
Crystal Reports 10, you can import the report templates into Contact Center
Manager Administration.
Note: This is not always a problem; therefore, Nortel recommends that only
customers experiencing this issue perform this procedure.
Problem
When you access the Historical Reporting component and attempt to retrieve a
large list of agents in the selection criteria, a blank list is returned.
Solution
Increase the OAM Timeout value in the Real-Time Reporting settings in order to
retrieve the agent details. For example, set the OAM Timeout value to 40000 for
4000 configured agents.
Column Names text and data spill over the line in historical reports
Problem
When a historical report is run, the Column Names text and the data runs over
the line, making the report unreadable.
Solution
The issue is caused by the printer driver on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server. The generic text printer installed on the Contact Center
Manager Administration server conflicts with the report formats. The resolution
is to remove the generic text printer from the Contact Center Manager
Administration server and install the printer driver that a Crystal web process
can see (for example, HP LaserJet 4000 Series).
Problem
If the list of agent IDs in the Selection Criteria pane is taking a very long time to
populate, check the DNS entries for the Contact Center Manager Server. A
known issue occurred in which two entries were listed, the Nortel Server subnet
address and the ELAN subnet address.
Solution
If the Nortel Server subnet address and the ELAN subnet address are both listed,
remove the ELAN subnet address.
Problem
This problem occurs because the Contact Center Manager Administration's
Scheduled report account (iceAdmin or the domain account) cannot write to the
folder that you have specified in the output file text box when scheduling the
report.
Solution
Use the iceAdmin Password Change Utility to reset the scheduled report account
or account password. This will reset all the scheduled reports to use the correct
account name and password to export reports.
To verify the network access from Contact Center Manager Administration, use
scheduled report account name (iceAdmin or the domain account) and password
for this account to map the network drive to which the report is to be exported.
Alternatively, you can use the net use command to verify whether you can map
to the directory folder on the network drive from the Contact Center Manager
Administration server.
1 On Contact Center Manager Administration server, go to MS DOS prompt
and run the net use command as follows:
If you use iceAdmin as your scheduled report folder, type:
NET USE \\<computername>\<sharename> password of iceAdmin /
USER:iceAdmin
or
If you use the domain account as your scheduled report folder, type:
NET USE \\<computername>\<sharename> password of iceAdmin /
USER:<domain account name>
2 If the network drive cannot be mapped, check the permission on the report
folder on the network drive.
3 If the network drive can be mapped, try creating a file on the network folder.
If you cannot create a file on the network folder, check the share
permissions on the network folder from the network PC. It must be set to
Read/Change for the account you have set up on the network PC.
4 If you can create a file on the network folder but the scheduled report export
still fails, contact Nortel support.
Problem
You cannot activate scheduled reports in Contact Center Manager
Administration. This problem occurs if the Internet Information Services (IIS)
default security account under anonymous access is not a member of the backup
operators group, or if you need to reset your scheduled report account (that is,
the iceAdmin password or the domain account/password).
Solution
To solve this issue perform the following tasks:
Ensure that the IIS default security account under anonymous access is a
member of the backup operators group.
b. In the Select Domain Name field, select the name of the domain that
you want to add from the drop-down menu.
c. In the Enter Domain Account field, enter the domain account.
Note: Obtain the domain account name and password from your
network administrator.
d. In the Enter Domain Account Password field, enter the domain
account password.
Note: You must enter the correct domain account password. If the
password is incorrect, the system will not proceed.
e. In the Confirm Domain Account Password field, reenter the domain
account password.
f. Click OK.
Result: The iceAdmin Password Change window reappears and
activates all scheduled reports using the domain account instead of the
local iceAdmin account.
8 Click OK.
Result: The system ensures that you typed the same password both
times, and then resets the password in all required components.
Problem
Your historical reports always display and print in portrait orientation even if the
report template is designed for landscape mode, thereby truncating part of the
report data columns.
Solution
This issue is caused by the printer driver on the Contact Center Manager
Administration server. Remove the “Microsoft Office Document Image Writer”
printer from the Contact Center Manager Administration server.
Problem:
When exporting a large report to PDF, the following error message appears:
The report was not exported. The selected export format
may be disabled on the server.
The error message appears if you attempt to export a report to PDF that has more
than 360 pages.
Solution:
To export a report to PDF with more than 360 pages, you must use the page
selection fields to export reports in batches of 360 pages or less. For example,
export page 1 to page 360 to PDF. Then for the remaining pages, select these
pages using ranges of 360 pages or less.
Problem:
There are fonts missing from the font list on the Configuration Settings page and
the Report Layout page in Report Creation Wizard.
Solution:
The available fonts in Report Creation Wizard are the fonts installed on the
Contact Center Manager Administration server. Verify with the administrator
that the installed fonts meet the following requirements:
The font must be a TrueType font.
The font must support the following styles: Regular, Bold, Italic,
Underlined, and Strikethrough.
The font must support ANSI or Symbol character sets. The font can also
support other character sets, such as ShiftJIS or ChineseBig5.
Fonts installed on the Contact Center Manager Administration server that do not
meet these requirements are not available in Report Creation Wizard.
Problem
When you open certain pages in Contact Center Management, Access and
Partition Management, or Historical Reporting
you cannot use the Select All button to select all agents, skillsets, or access
classes
the Submit button remains disabled when you click Select All. In addition,
the Submit button remains disabled when you click individual agents,
skillsets, or access classes.
any selected options do not get updated correctly.
In Access and Partition Management, when you are viewing a partition and you
select a user from the Members area, you cannot see the selected user’s details.
Solution
This problem occurs only on PCs that are running Windows Server 2003 and
that are used to connect to Contact Center Manager Administration. When
Internet Explorer is used on a Windows Server 2003 platform, it includes the
new Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration, which is enabled by
default. This configuration is designed to decrease the exposure of the server to
potential attacks that can occur through web content and application scripts.
One of the features of this configuration is to automatically block web sites that
are not listed in the Trusted Sites zone. In Contact Center Manager
Administration, certain pages in Contact Center Management, Historical
Reporting, and Access and Partition Management that contain lists of agents,
skillsets, and access classes make use of a behind-the-scenes URL called
“about:blank” to display the information correctly. Even after you add the
Contact Center Manager Administration server URL as a Trusted Site (for
Contents from the about:blank web site are being blocked by the
Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration
For the solution to this problem, see “Problems with check boxes and Submit
buttons in Historical Reporting, Contact Center Management, and Access and
Partition Management,” on page 1909.
Problem
You have added supervisors through Contact Center Management and exited the
component. When you return to the component and select the same server in
Contact Center Manager Server on which you defined the supervisors, you find
that the supervisors are not there, and an error message appears stating “No
Supervisors Defined.”
Solution
1. This problem can occur when the bindings order of the ELAN subnet
network card and Nortel Server subnet network card on the server in
Contact Center Manager Server is not set up correctly. You must configure
the bindings order of the network interface cards so that the Nortel Server
subnet card comes first, then the ELAN subnet card, and then the virtual
adapters for remote access.
2. Ensure that you have all Contact Center Manager Administration specific
stored procedures on the Contact Center Manager Server.
4 In the Connections box, make sure that the Nortel Server subnet
connection is listed first. If it is not first, adjust the order so that it appears
first.
5 Save your changes and close all windows.
6 Restart the server in Contact Center Manager Server.
Problem
The amount of configuration data you can upload using the Contact Center
Manager Administration Configuration component is restricted by the limits you
have set in the Parameters tab of the Historical Statistics window in Contact
Center Manager Server. For example, if you have a limit of 240 configured
CDNs in the Historical Statistics on Contact Center Manager Server, you cannot
upload more than 240 CDNs using the Contact Center Manager Configuration
Tool spreadsheet. Always verify the Contact Center Manager Server limits
before beginning the upload process.
Solution
Ensure that the Security level is set to Medium, and Macros are enabled in
Tools > Macro > Security.
If you are using a client PC to upload or download configuration data,
ensure that the Contact Center Manager Administration application can be
accessed from the client with the Contact Center Manager Administration
Server Name.
The number of agent to skillset and agent to supervisor assignments that
you can upload from the Contact Center Manager Configuration Tool
spreadsheets is restricted to the number of worksheet columns that your
version of Microsoft Excel will support.
Problem
Agent Desktop Display fails to upgrade from Symposium Web Client 4.5 to
Contact Center Manager Administration 6.0 on client PCs.
This can occur if you have proxy settings turned on when you attempt to upgrade
Agent Desktop Display.
Solution
Ensure that proxy settings are turned off before you upgrade Agent Desktop
Display.
To turn off proxy settings
1 On Internet Explorer, click Tools > Internet Options.
Result: The Internet Options window appears.
2 On the Connections tab, click LAN Settings.
Result: The Local Area Network (LAN) Settings window appears.
3 Clear the checkbox next to Use a proxy server for your LAN.
4 Click OK.
5 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
Note: If your network security policy requires it, you must turn proxy settings
back on after you complete the Agent Desktop Display upgrade.
Note: In “To configure Internet Explorer 6.0 on the client PC” on page 258,
there are three options for configuring Internet Explorer; Option 1 is the
only one that requires you to set the Contact Center Manager
Administration server as a Trusted Site. If you have followed this option,
then you must also add the Contact Center Manager Administration server
fully qualified domain name as a Trusted Site when your server meets the
following conditions:
You are using the Contact Center Manager Administration server as a
client PC.
You are using the server fully qualified domain name as the default URL
to access Contact Center Manager Administration (as opposed to the
computer name), and you typed this name in the SOAP Configuration
Parameters window when you installed Contact Center Manager
Administration on the server.
You do not have to perform this step if you configured Internet Explorer
according to Options 2 or 3.
2. Check for the required files on the Contact Center Manager Administration
server, as follows:
In the following path,
C:\Program Files\Common Files\MSSOAP\Binaries
where C is the drive on which SOAP is installed, ensure that these required
SOAP .dll files exist:
MSSOAP30.dll
SOAPIS30.dll
WHSC30.dll
WISC30.dll
msxml4r.dll
4. Ensure that the appropriate SOAP files are using the Contact Center
Manager Administration server name as follows:
a. Navigate to the location where Contact Center Manager Administration
is installed:
X:/Program Files/Nortel Networks/WClient/Apps/Common/SOAP
b. Use a text editor, such as Notepad, to open the WSDL file,
SOAPWrapper.WSDL.
c. Scroll down to the end of the file and ensure that the port address does
not reference localhost, but the Contact Center Manager Administration
server name.
Example
The following line shows an example where the port address references the
localhost, which is the wrong configuration for Contact Center Manager
Administration:
<soap:addresslocation='http://localhost/SWCCommon/SOAP/
SOAPWrapperCommon.ASP'/>
If you see the above configuration, then you must replace localhost with the
computer name of the Contact Center Manager Administration server. In the
following example, the computer name of the Contact Center Manager
Administration server is SWCCONFIG:
<soap:addresslocation='http://SWCCONFIG/SWCCommon/SOAP/
SOAPWrapperCommon.ASP'/>
5. Ensure that IIS is configured correctly, as follows:
a. Click Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools > Internet
Services Manager.
b. In the Internet Information Services window, click the plus sign (+)
beside the server name.
c. In the tree, right-click Default Web Site, and then click Properties from
the menu.
d. Click the Home Directory tab.
e. Click Configuration.
Client PC
If you are receiving Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) errors, check the
following on the client PC:
1. Ensure that the Contact Center Manager Administration server is set up as a
Trusted Site that allows the downloading of signed ActiveX Controls. For
details, see “To configure Internet Explorer 6.0 on the client PC” on page
258.
Note: In “To configure Internet Explorer 6.0 on the client PC” on page 258,
you must set the Contact Center Manager Administration server as a
Trusted Site. You must also add the Contact Center Manager
Administration server fully qualified domain name as a Trusted Site on the
client PC when the following condition exists:
You are using the server fully qualified domain name as the default URL
to access Contact Center Manager Administration (as opposed to the
computer name), and you typed this name in the SOAP Configuration
Parameters window when you installed Contact Center Manager
Administration on the server.
2. Ensure that ClientSoap.msi is installed. To verify whether it is installed,
ensure that all the SOAP and Microsoft XML parser files noted on page
1916 are in the same locations on the client PC.
Note: The file WHSC30.dll only appears on client PCs running Windows Server
2003 and Windows XP. If the client PC runs on any other platform, then this file
is not applicable.
3. If ClientSoap.msi is not installed, then a message appears when you first
attempt to log on to Contact Center Manager Administration, giving you
the option of downloading the Client Soap package from the Contact
Center Manager Administration server. You must have administrative
privileges to install this package.
4. If you used the fully qualified domain name in the SOAP Configuration
Parameters window when you installed Contact Center Manager
Administration on the server, then you must also add this name as a Trusted
Site on each client PC that accesses the Contact Center Manager
Administration server. Ensure that the name is set as a Trusted Site by
performing the following steps:
a. Click Tools > Internet Options.
b. Click the Security tab.
c. Click the Trusted Sites icon.
d. Click Sites.
e. Clear the Require server verification {https:} for all sites in this
zone check box.
f. In the Web sites box, ensure that the fully qualified domain name
appears.
This message appears when you launch a component that requires SOAP (for
example, the Configuration component), but SOAP has not been configured
correctly. When you launch the utility, it reconfigures the server name settings in
the .WSDL files, enabling SOAP to function properly.
This message usually appears because the incorrect server name was entered in
the SOAP Configuration Parameters window during the Contact Center
Manager Administration installation. If the Contact Center Manager
Administration default URL is the Contact Center Manager Administration
server fully qualified host name (for example, <computername>.<domain
name>.com), then you must type this name during the installation. Likewise, if
the client PCs that are used to access the Contact Center Manager
Administration server are located outside the server domain, then you must type
the fully qualified domain name in the SOAP Configuration Parameters window.
However, if the server computer name was entered in this window instead, then
SOAP malfunctions, and the ChangeSOAPSrv message appears.
where <computer name> is the name of the server, or the fully qualified
domain name, if this is what you use as the Contact Center Manager
Administration default URL (for example, <computername>.<domain
name>.com).
4 Press Enter.
Result: A window appears, showing the updated SOAP files.
5 Try launching and working with the same Contact Center Manager
Administration component again (for example, Configuration).
Note: You can also use the first part of this procedure (steps 1 to 7) if you have
forgotten or misplaced the password and you are upgrading from Contact Center
Manager Administration to a later release. During the upgrade process, the
system asks you to type the old iceAdmin password. At this point in the
installation—and without halting the installation process—you can perform
steps 1 to 7 listed below, and then return directly to the upgrade installation,
typing the iceAdmin password that you supply in step 6 below as the old
iceAdmin password in the upgrade installation.
Manually resetting the password involves the following two main steps:
1. You must reset the password in Windows.
2. You must reset the password by using the iceAdmin Password Change
utility that is provided with Contact Center Manager Administration.
Note: You must be logged on as a user with administrator privileges before you
perform this procedure.
1 On the Contact Center Manager Administration server, click Click Start >
Administrative Tools > Computer Management.
Result: The Computer Management window appears.
2 In the left pane, click the plus sign (+) beside Local Users and Groups.
Result: The folder expands.
4 In the Old Password box, type the same password that you used in step 6.
5 In the New Password box, type a new password for the iceAdmin user
account.
6 In the Confirm Password box, type the new password again.
7 If your Contact Center Manager Administration server is a member of an
active domain, the Domain Account option will be enabled on the
iceAdmin Password Change window. If you want to export scheduled
reports to a domain account, follow the steps below. If you do not want to
export scheduled reports to a domain account, or if the domain account
button is disabled, proceed to step 8.
b. In the Select Domain Name field, select the name of the domain that
you want to add from the drop-down menu.
c. In the Enter Domain Account field, enter the domain account.
Note: Obtain the domain account name and password from your
network administrator.
d. In the Enter Domain Account Password field, enter the domain
account password.
Note: You must enter the correct domain account password. If the
password is incorrect, the system will not proceed.
e. In the Confirm Domain Account Password field, reenter the domain
account password.
f. Click OK.
Result: The iceAdmin Password Change window reappears and
activates all scheduled reports using the domain account instead of the
local iceAdmin account.
8 Click OK.
Result: The system ensures that you typed the same password both times,
and then registers the new password in all required components.

Contact Center Manager Administration and Citrix 1938
Installation overview 1940
CCMA and Citrix installation and configuration checklist 1941
Introduction
You can now access Contact Center Manager Administration and Agent Desktop
Display through either a Terminal Services or Citrix MetaFrame XPe
environment (the Citrix MetaFrame XP Enterprise edition software).
Note: For details about the software requirements for the Contact Center
Manager Administration server, see Nortel Contact Center Manager
Administration PreInstallation Guide.
Installation overview
You have the option to configure and use either of the following environments
with Contact Center Manager Administration:
Terminal Services server environment—In this environment, you must
install Windows Server 2003 and Terminal Services (enabled in application
server mode) on the server.
Citrix MetaFrame XPe server environment—In this environment, in
addition to installing Windows Server 2003 and Terminal Services (enabled
in application server mode) on the server, you must also install the Citrix
MetaFrame XPe Server software.
For details about installing Terminal Services/Citrix, see “CCMA and Citrix
installation and configuration checklist” on page 1941.
Introduction
When you set up Terminal Services/Citrix in a Contact Center Manager
Administration environment, use the following checklist to guide you through
the installation and configuration steps. Because some procedures are the same
as those you perform in a traditional Contact Center Manager Administration
environment (that is, non-Citrix), the checklist refers you to the relevant sections
in the guide; all Citrix procedures are covered in this appendix.
Note: Instead of manually downloading the client controls, you can use the
ActiveX controls.msi file to install all controls at once on the Citrix server. For
details about this file, see “To run the ActiveX Controls.msi file on each client
PC,” on page 295, substituting the Citrix server for the client PC.
22 Review the selections that you have made, and then click Next to install the
software.
Result: The Updating System window appears, and the program installs
the software. When it is finished, a window appears, notifying you that the
software installation was successful.
23 Click Close when the software has been successfully installed.
Result: A message box asks you to restart the server.
24 Click Yes to restart the server.
Normally, when using Terminal Services, the system stores individual user files
and preferences on the Terminal Server to which the user is currently connected.
However, you can redirect user information and preferences to a different
location by configuring Terminal Services user profiles to store any user data at
the specified storage location. For more information, consult the Microsoft
documentation.
You can specify a path to a home folder where users’ roaming profiles are stored
for terminal server sessions. This can be either a local folder or a network shared
folder. When allowing users to log on to a terminal server, you can grant access
to a specific terminal server on a per-user basis.
Note: If you leave this option disabled, the user is not allowed to log on to any
terminal servers.
For details about creating roaming user profiles that enable users to connect to
different Terminal Servers, see “Creating Terminal Services roaming user
profiles” on page 1951.
Administrators can use the Terminal Services user profiles that they create to
restrict access to applications (such as Contact Center Manager Administration
and Agent Desktop Display) by removing these applications from the user’s
Start menu. Administrators can also create and store network connections to
printers and other resources for use during user sessions. For more information,
refer to the Microsoft web site at www.microsoft.com.
To enable users to log on to different servers, you must create roaming user
profiles for them. For details, see “To create Terminal Services Roaming user
profiles”, or consult your Windows Server 2003 documentation.
b. In the left pane, click the plus sign (+) beside Local Users and
Groups.
c. Click the Users folder.
d. In the right pane, locate the new user who you created in step 1. In this
example, locate tsuser1.
e. Right-click this user, and then select Properties.
f. Click the Profile tab.
g. Under the User profile heading, in the Profile path box, type a path to
the folder that you created in step 2. In this example, you type
\\<server_name>\tsusers\tsuser1\profile, where profile is the name of
the folder where user profiles are stored.
h. Under the Home folder heading, select the Connect option.
i. From the list, select the drive letter that you want to use to map to the
folder path (for example, drive U:), and then type the path to the folder
in the To box. In this example, you type
\\<server_name>\tsusers\tsuser1.
j. Click OK and accept the changes.
For example, the client browser language value, which is normally set in Internet
Explorer (by clicking Tools > Internet Options > Languages), must be passed to
the Contact Center Manager Administration server with every request. When set
through the browser, this locale value is stored under the following registry key:
After you upgrade the Agent Desktop Display software, start the application. If
the application notifies you of an available update, follow the on-screen prompts
to install the update. If an update message does not appear, then you need not
update Agent Desktop Display.
the summary chart on the server called Contact Center and in a shared
network folder called Displays, type \\Contact_Center\Displays\ in this

Determining your web site type 1956
Introduction
To determine which web site type is best for your organization when you install
Contact Center Manager Administration, evaluate how you intend to use the
server on which Contact Center Manager Administration will reside.
Note: You must specify the type of web site that Contact Center Manager
Administration uses in the Contact Center Manager Administration installation
process. For more information, see Chapter 3, “Installing the software on the
primary server”.
Regardless of the type of web site that you choose, the application behaves in
the same way, and is visible to client PCs in the same way. The only significant
difference between a virtual directory web site and a default web site is the way
in which it appears in Windows Server 2003.
A accelerator key
A key on a phoneset that an agent can use to place a call quickly. When an agent
presses an accelerator key, the system places the call to the configured number
associated with the key. For example, if an agent presses the Emergency key, the
system places a call to the agent’s supervisor.
access class
A collection of access levels that defines the actions a member of the access
class can perform within the system. For example, a member of the
Administrator access class might be given a collection of Read/Write access
levels.
access level
A level of access or permission given to a particular user for a particular
application or function. For example, a user might be given View Only access to
historical reports.
ACD call
See Automatic call distribution call.
ACD-DN
See Automatic call distribution directory number.
acquired resource
A resource configured on the switch that is under the control of Contact Center
Manager Server. Resources must be configured with matching values on both
the switch and Contact Center Manager Server.
activated script
A script that is processing calls or is ready to process calls. Before you can
activate a script, you must first validate it.
active server
In a system with a Replication Server, the server that is providing call processing
and administration services.
activity code
A number that agents enter on their phoneset during a call. Activity codes
provide a way of tracking the time agents spend on various types of incoming
calls. They are also known as Line of Business (LOB) codes. For example, the
activity code 720 might be used to track sales calls. Agents can then enter 720 on
their agent desktop applications during sales calls, and this information can be
generated in an Activity Code report
adapter
Hardware required to support a particular device. For example, network adapters
provide a port for the network wire. Adapters can be expansion boards or part of
the computer’s main circuitry.
administrator
A user who is responsible for setting up and maintaining Contact Center
