System maintenance

Hardware
You need to maintain your Dell server as you would any server with a critical-path RAID array. See the Dell Owner's Manual for your R720 or R420.
If you are experiencing hardware issues, contact your BEP provider for diagnostics and replacement of failed components.
Software
The Genesys component software in Business Edition Premise requires limited maintenance; however, you are responsible for the following:
- Completing a backup of the system after installation.
- Updating Business Edition Premise credentials after installation.
- Installing anti-virus software consistent with corporate guidelines (Genesys does not recommend anti-virus software running on hosts with SIP RTP messaging as it can affect voice quality).
- Enabling security policies/firewall per corporate guidelines.
- Installing updates.
- For the content, maintenance, and upkeep of the built-in MS SQL or Postgre SQL (configuration) databases. The user IDs and passwords are provided in the database section on this page.
Log files
FTC regulations may require that Outbound Contact Server (OCS) audit logs be stored for up to 24 months. Due to storage limitations, the log zip utility on the core VM is configured to only retain these logs for a maximum of 60 days. It is your responsibility to move the logs to external storage before the 60-day expiration.
Database access
To access the built-in MS SQL or Postgre SQL (configuration database) databases, use these credentials:
Database and role | User name | Password |
---|---|---|
Postgre SQL administrator | postgres | Postgre$0 |
MS SQL administrator | sa | G3n35y5! |
MS SQL user | genesys | Genesy$_0 |
Database backups
To configure the database backup for MS SQL server, use the MS SQL server Maintenance Plan Wizard to create and schedule three Maintenance Plans, as follows:
Maintenance Task | Full | Differential | Transaction Log |
---|---|---|---|
Schedule | weekly | daily | 30 mins |
Expire | 14 days | 14 days | 14 days |
Compress | true | true | true |
Verify | true | true | true |
