GPlus for Siebel Adapter

Hi, all!

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with GPlus for Siebel.
Are there some particular limitations that we should be aware of? (like not having Gplus on the same server as Siebel, for example)

I have heard some interoperatibility problems between SAP and Genesys using GPlus and we are currently considering using Siebel GPlus. (G7.0). Are there any problems with the latest release that we should consider before trying to implement it?

Thank you very much in advance for all of your responses.

Jim

We have the Voice only GPlus 6.5 for Siebel 7. You need to load GPlus on all the Siebel App Servers, it's only a couple of dll's. The Configuration Component takes a bit more. The installation is not so bad, the configuration of the call center in Siebel can be hariy if you have not done one before. The Siebel Comm Sever Admin Guide is a must read.

There is not a GPlus 7 yet, only 6.5. Was told by both Genesys and Siebel that moving to Genesys 7 (Currently on G6.5) would not be an issue. As long as we had GPlus 6.5 Siebel was fine with the upgrade to G7 and Genesys is backward compatable. (I would check both Genesys and Siebel for your system)

Don't know about the SAP issue.

We have had huge issues with this adapter. It works fine if you are creating a new agent and then making changes to that agent. However, it does not work for preexisting agents (ie agents you already had configured in Genesys prior to implementing the GPlus Adapter). You have to either delete the agents and rebuild them via Siebel, or remove them from the Siebel configuration and then add them back, which results in duplicate agents in config. mgr. and one has to be deleted. Either way, it's a pain. Also, Since Siebel does not have an "Employee ID," Genesys takes the Siebel database row ID and populates the Genesys Employee ID with it. So, whatever you used to use for Employee ID will be replaced with a cryptic bunch of nonsense (this includes CCPulse, etc.). The worse part, though, is the skill names. Siebel allows you to use the same skill name in different areas, so when the skill names synch across to CME, a lot of "stuff" is added to the beginning of the actual skill name. For example, if you have a skill called "sales," then when it gets synched from Siebel it will end up looking something like this: "Phone_S_Skill_SI__LC1_sales." So, if you have strategies that route to the skill "sales," guess what? You have to rewrite them to use the "new" skill name. And here's the best part about that...the window where you select skills in IRD is too small to display the entire name of the new skills, and there are no scroll bars and the window cannot be resized. You can't tell which skill is which because all you can see is Phone_S_Skill_S. The identifying portion of the name...the end...is hidden beyond the edge of the window. So, not only do you have to rewrite all of your strategies to use new skill names, you have to manually type those skill names in, unless you want to just guess at which one is which.

Anyone implemented G+ Adapter with Siebel 7.7 version.? And deployed on dedicated Siebel client(Not of Thin Client).

Thanks

I configured everything for Gplus voice component perfectly without any errors, I imported Gencomm7.sif file and compiled projects and run the browser scripts as well. When I start the Siebel Client I could not see communication tool bar icons (I am using Thin Client setup.)

What are the steps that I missed out. I also configured the following
1)Configured GenComm7_universal.def file editing and imported the file successfully
2)Created Postions
3)Added ACD Queues
4)Created agents(Employees)

But I could not see creating telesets sitemap-> Communication Administration-> All Telesets

Still I can not see any result.I followed the Gplus adapter 6.5 doc, I have not seen a step In which step that I can look into the CTI Toolbar in Siebel

1)how to see the configuration(CTI) toolbar.
2)How the telesets link is missing in Siebel.
3)how do we know that Siebel and Genesys integration using GPlus is working fine.

Thanks

Not clear from your message - in the first one you mentioned the dedicated client, but then you mention the thin client in your second. Which are you using?

I am using Thin Client only. I have not mentioned dedicated client any where. I think you have not clearly read

I guess when you wrote "Anyone implemented G+ Adapter with Siebel 7.7 version.? And deployed on dedicated Siebel client(Not of Thin Client)" that you made no mention of the dedicated client - my apologies for not clearly reading.

Regarding the icons issue, have you contacted support? Looking in the Public Ticket Archive, I can see a couple different possibilities where the same problem appears... something about associating the CTI viewer with the response library, and then another possibility involving getting an updated .sif file...

Thanks Dav, I got CTI Toolbar visible but not finished my entire tast. I am using Siebel 7.5.2. I experience the following few issues

1)I cant see Telesets and ACDs tabs when I navigate as
Communication Administration-> Agent General Profile.

2) When I login as Agent getting warning Messege

Communication Agent Component is not initialized; Communication tool bar might not function correctly

3) I cant see g+ icon in the toolbar and ready, not ready few buttons

Looking forward for any clue or hint or resolution

You have to import GenComm7.sif and recompile your Siebel .srf file.

Hi,

We are going to implement Siebel Genesys CTI integration.
We understand the configuration that is required at Siebel side.
We reuire to understand what we need to configure in Genesys to make all types of CTI integration with Siebel.

Need clarifications on following
IVR what need to be done at genesys and siebel side ACD what need to be done at genesys and siebel side How is the Siebel Universal Queuing is used How the switches are configured.
What programming is required on genesys side.
What role Gplus adapter plays
How Tserver is used in the integration
How the API's are used.
Whan a call comes what happens. How the IVR picks the details from Siebel How the call routing happens from genesys to Siebel agent If someone can breif on this in high level with all steps that need to be done and the components and scripts to be used.
Need to understand the architecture and the flow.

Thanks

  • Sounds to me like you need to go to the Integrating Genesys and Siebel class...

    Have you talked to your systems integrator or account team about these questions?
