OBN GVP

[cavagnaro]

Hi guys,
Does anybody has a simple example on how to feed OBN? I can't understand how to do this...

Thanks

Hi Cavagnaro,
i'm recalling in 7.2 EE there was an example html page (it was installed with OBN), which triggered OBN to initiate an outbound call and returned call initiation status. It was providing a proper parameters to submit to OBN scripts. You can either dig into the OBN script itself, it was an asp in 7.2 as i'm recalling.
I'm not sure if this is what your are looking for, but this might still be worth checking.

Regards,
K.

Is OCS (Outbound Contact Server) mandatory for GVP OBN to work?

[elek]

well, i haven't had a chance to deploy an OBN since 7.2.
My understanding is that as i mentioned above in 7.2 EE there was even an exapmle of triggering outbound calls by submitting a get request to the obn.asp, so it was a standard behaivior to develop an application and use it with OBN.
STarting from 7.5 genesys provides a proactive contact solution, which combines OCS and GVP OBN, so probably it's now a mandatory, but it's only my guess, i don't know for sure.

Cav,

There is an example in GVP Reference Guide. You can find there answer to your next question as well - Is OCS mandatory for OBN? No, it is optional.

René,
When you provision an application we can add a field named TOKEN, what is the purpose of this? Is there anyway we can catch this value on the XML application and use it? I need somehow to differenciate each caller as I have to say their name...
Thanks

I'm checking the QueryString and never got that Token field.
By the way to capture the ANI and store it to a vANI variable:
Call SetPageItem("vANI", Request.Querystring ("ANI"))
