The following new features were added in the 9.0 release:
9.0.000.29
Active/active N+1 architecture
N+1 architecture provides enhanced reliability and scalability of the UCS solution. Clients can connect to any UCS node-all data is available on any node. Each UCS node connects to the Cassandra cluster and, depending on the consistency level and replication factor required, UCS can connect to other UCSs. If a UCS node fails, clients can reconnect to another live node and resume work. Both UCS nodes and Cassandra nodes can fail individually without data loss or long outage.
Geo-replication
UCS 9.0 supports geo-replication by using the Datacenter Replication feature in Cassandra. Geo-replication systems are designed to improve the distribution of data across geographically distributed data networks.
Data Expiration
Data expiration allows you to keep contacts, interactions and profiles for a limited period of time. Data expiration relies on a data retention policy that uses the time-to-live (TTL) parameter in Cassandra.
REST API
Clients can connect to UCS 9.0 using either the Genesys PSDK or the new RESTful API.
Support for Cassandra and Elasticsearch Monitoring
The Cassandra and Elasticsearch monitoring tools implemented in this release provide statistics on UCS, Cassandra and Elasticsearch clusters. A UCS for dedicated monitoring and maintenance can now run in Monitoring mode, enabled by setting the monitor/enable option to true.
Support for Cassandra Maintenance
The Cassandra maintenance tools implemented in this release enable Snapshot and Repair maintenance functions to be performed on Cassandra clusters. These function are controlled by configuration options maintenance/snapshot and maintenance/repair.
Support for Rolling Upgrade without Service Interruption
Rolling upgrade, including data migration, without service interruption is now supported.
Support for Sort Order in Interaction Search
Results of interaction searches, including searches returning 100+ records, can now be sorted. This new functionality is available through an evolution of InteractionListGet and ContactListGet functions. These now accept Elasticsearch queries associated with the key ESQuery. The previous full-text search API function is now deprecated.
Genesys CMS Limitation
Although Genesys Knowledge Management (GKC) Content Management Server (CMS) is part of the deployment of UCS 9.0, all functionality related to CMS is not supported in this restricted release. Thus, the following are not currently supported:
- Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
- Standard Response Libraries (SRL)
- Screening Rules
- Rendering of field codes
- Classification and training
