Genesys Interaction Recording 8.5.2

New in this Release

Release 8.5.225.01 — June 09, 2022, support for Windows Server 2019 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.

Release 8.5.224.00 — June 10, 2021, contains resolved issues only.

Release 8.5.223.00 — October 19, 2020, contains resolved issues only.

Some of the primary new features added in release 8.5.222.00—April 24, 2020:

  • Genesys Interaction Recording now supports SIP Cluster in deployments that are using Voice Processor.
    Important
    Recording Processor Script (RPS) cannot be used with SIP Cluster.
  • Interaction Recording Web Services now supports authentication with Cassandra.
  • The Screen Recording Service (SRS) now supports the use of a web proxy for outbound connections.
  • Elasticsearch v2 schema performance is significantly improved. For existing deployments, these improvements will become increasingly evident as older interactions are purged from the system.
  • With this release, Voice Processor is now generally available and no longer under shipping control by the Genesys Product Management team. For new deployments, Genesys recommends using Voice Processor instead of Recording Processor Script (RPS). For information on how to deploy Voice Processor, see Deploying Voice Processor.


Some of the primary new features added in release 8.5.221.01—April 01, 2019:

  • The scan and scroll method of Elasticsearch is now supported for MLM with Elasticsearch v2 schema. For large scale deployments, enable the scan and scroll option to improve performance of MLM.
  • The default number of shards for new deployments with Elasticsearch v2 schema is 12. The existing deployments with the current number of shards are also supported.


Some of the primary new features added in release 8.5.221.00:

  • January 11, 2019, contains resolved issues only.
  • December 20, 2018:
    A new multi-threaded microservice, Voice Processor, is introduced. Voice Processor can be used instead of the Recording Processor Script (RPS) which is currently in use. GIR needs Voice Processor to process recording metadata from Media Control Platform (MCP), combine this metadata with data collected from Genesys Info Mart (GIM), and forward the result to Interaction Recording Web Services (RWS) and SpeechMiner Interaction Receiver (SM IR). For information on how to deploy Voice Processor, see Deploying Voice Processor.
    Important
    Customers with an existing RPS deployment can migrate to Voice Processor using the instructions provided in the Migrating from RPS to Voice Processor section.
  • November 09, 2018:
    Interaction Recording Web Services (RWS) now includes new parameters for a search API used by Recording Muxer Script. Recording Muxer Script uses these parameters when receiving call recordings from RWS.


Release 8.5.220.00 —August 28, 2018, contains resolved issues only.

Release 8.5.219.02—June 04, 2018 (initially released as 8.5.219.01 on May 17, 2018), contains resolved issues only.

Important
As part of upgrading to this release, the Cassandra schema used by Interaction Recording Web Services must be upgraded. Refer to the migration steps described in Upgrading Interaction Recording Web Services for details.


Some of the primary new features added in release 8.5.218.00—December 15, 2017:

  • Interaction Recording now has a new call recording metadata attribute to indicate if a call recording has a related screen recording available (screenRecording). In addition, if a screen recording is associated with a call recording, a new screen recording metadata attribute (callRecordingId) indicates the associated call recording. These metadata values are only populated for new recordings moving forward. All older interactions will indicate that there is no associated screen recording.
  • Screen Recording Service (SRS) now uses updated versions of Python and OpenSSL.
  • SRS now supports a configurable parameter to ignore errors that occur during certificate verification for screen recording encryption.


Some of the primary new features added in release 8.5.217.00—September 27, 2017:


Some of the primary new features added in release 8.5.216.01—July 14, 2017:

  • Multi-site disaster recovery support for screen recording with the Screen Recording Service (SRS) and Interaction Recording Web Services (RWS) when Workspace Desktop Edition (WDE) version 8.5.118.10 or later is used.
  • Support for the new Delete Recording by ID API in Interaction Recording Web Services. See Genesys Interaction Recording API for details.


Some of the primary new features added in release 8.5.215.00—June 28, 2017:

  • The following GIR components now support RHEL 7: Interaction Recording Web Services, Recording Muxer Script, Recording Plug-in for GAX, and Recording Crypto Server.
  • You can now manage the life cycle of voice recordings by using interaction labels. For more information, refer to Creating a Rule and Recording Lifecycle Scheduler Parameters.
  • The Elasticsearch templates (call_recordingv2_template.json and screen_recordingv2_template.json) have been updated. Deploy the new versions of these templates to the Elasticsearch cluster so that when an index is created, the new index template is used. Re-indexing is not required after this step.
  • Interaction Recording Web Services now supports two new APIs: Get Recording by ID and Get Recording Media by ID. For more information, refer to Genesys Interaction Recording API.
  • Interaction Recording Web Services now supports using Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 8 as an alternative to the Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.8.
  • The SFDC Gplus Adapter now supports screen recording with the SR Service.
  • When you delete an interaction in SpeechMiner, its associated voice recording and screen recording files are now also deleted.
Important
As part of upgrading to this release, the Cassandra schema used by Interaction Recording Web Services must be upgraded. Refer to the migration steps described in Upgrading Interaction Recording Web Services for details.

Some of the primary new features added in release 8.5.214.02—March 29, 2017:

  • For new installations or new tenants in existing installations the Elasticsearch schema version 2 will be used by default. For an existing installation, this support for this version requires that you perform the migration steps described in the Migrating an Existing Elasticsearch Deployment to Schema V2 section as part of upgrading to this release.
