Cisco 500-052 - Deploying Cisco Unified Contact Center Express

 The option that can be configured while installing Cisco Unified CCX on Cisco UCS servers is the NTP server. The NTP server is used to synchronize the time between the Unified CCX nodes and other components such as CUCM, LDAP, and SMTP servers. The NTP server must be configured on the first node before installing the second node, otherwise the installation will fail. The NTP server can be configured in the basic configuration information that is required during installation. The DNS server, the SMTP server, and the CUCM server are not configured during the installation, but they can be configured later in the Unified CCX Administration web interface. References := Deploying Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCXD) v6.0 > Module 2: Implementing Cisco Unified Contact Center Express > Lesson 2: Installing Cisco Unified Contact Center Express > Topic 2.2: Installing Unified CCX1

A contact service queue (CSQ) is a logical grouping of agents that share similar skills. In Cisco Unified Contact Center Express, skills are assigned to CSQs, not to individual agents. Agents are associated with resource groups, which are then mapped to CSQs based on the skills required. This allows the system to route calls to the most appropriate CSQ, and then to the most qualified agent within that CSQ. References: UCCXD - Deploying Cisco Unified Contact Center Express v6.0, Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Administration Guide, Release 10.0 (1)

Email is a feature that allows agents to handle customer emails from the Cisco Finesse desktop. Agents can receive, reply, transfer, and close email contacts. Agent Email is only available in the Premium package of Cisco Unified CCX, which provides the maximum level of customer interaction management. The Enhanced and Standard packages do not support Agent Email or other multichannel features such as chat and outbound. References: Deploying Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCXD) v6.0 - Module 1: Design a Cisco Unified Contact Center Express System Deployment - Lesson 1: Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Product Overview - Topic: Cisco Unified CCX Product Packages1

No information is readable to Cisco Collaboration Software in the cloud. Cisco Collaboration Software uses end-to-end encryption to protect the data and privacy of its users. End-to-end encryption means that the data is encrypted at the source device and decrypted only at the destination device. No one, including Cisco, can access or read the data while it is in transit or at rest in the cloud. Cisco Collaboration Software uses strong encryption algorithms and keys that are generated and managed by the users themselves12

 The Expression Editor panel of Cisco Unified CCX Script Editor is a tool that allows you to create and edit expressions that can be used in the script steps. The Expression Editor panel has two tabs: Script and Java. The Script tab allows you to create expressions using the Cisco Unified CCX Expression Language, which is a subset of the Java language. The Java tab allows you to create expressions using the full Java language12

There are three reasons to use the Java tab in the Expression Editor panel:

To invoke a specified method of a custom Java class. A custom Java class is a user-defined class that extends the functionality of the Cisco Unified CCX Expression Language. You can create a custom Java class by using the Java Development Kit (JDK) and import it into the Cisco Unified CCX Script Editor. You can then use the Java tab to invoke the methods of the custom Java class by using the dot notation. For example, if you have a custom Java class named MyMath that has a method named square, you can use the Java tab to invoke the square method on a variable x by using the expression MyMath.square(x)12

To reference a variable of a custom Java Object. A custom Java Object is an instance of a custom Java class that can be created and stored as a variable in the script. You can use the Java tab to reference the variable of a custom Java Object by using the dot notation. For example, if you have a custom Java Object named myObj that has a variable named name, you can use the Java tab to reference the name variable by using the expression myObj.name12

To allow for arguments to be passed to a specified method. An argument is a value that is passed to a method when it is invoked. You can use the Java tab to pass arguments to a specified method by using the parentheses notation. For example, if you have a method named add that takes two arguments x and y and returns their sum, you can use the Java tab to pass the arguments 3 and 5 to the add method by using the expression add(3, 5)12

Cisco Unified CCX Premium is the product that the organization needs for the capability of collecting an account number from a customer via IVR prompting, and then using a keystroke macro to insert the account number into the agent’s CRM desktop application. Cisco Unified CCX Premium is the highest-level package of Cisco Unified CCX, which offers the most features and functions for customer contact interaction management. Cisco Unified CCX Premium supports advanced IVR capabilities, such as database integration, custom scripting, and HTTP-based data exchange, which enable the organization to collect and validate customer information from various sources. Cisco Unified CCX Premium also supports CTI integration, which allows the organization to use keystroke macros to automate the interaction between the agent desktop and the CRM desktop application. Keystroke macros can help the organization to improve agent productivity, customer satisfaction, and data accuracy, by reducing the need for manual data entry and lookup. Cisco Unified CCX Premium also supports outbound campaigns, email and chat interactions, quality management, and workforce management, which are not available in the lower-level packages of Cisco Unified CCX. Cisco Unified CCX Standard and Enhanced do not support the capability of using keystroke macros to insert the account number into the agent’s CRM desktop application, as they do not support CTI integration. Cisco Unified CCX Enterprise is not a valid product name, as Cisco Unified CCX is only available in Standard, Enhanced, and Premium packages. Cisco Unified IP IVR is not a product name, but a feature of Cisco Unified CCX, which provides basic IVR functionality, such as call routing, queuing, and self-service. References: Cisco Unified Contact Center Express 11.6 Data Sheet - Cisco1 Deploying Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCXD) v6.0 - Learning Tree2 Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Design Guide, Release 8.0(1), Chapter 2: Unified CCX Product Overview, Section 2.1: Unified CCX Product Packages, Page 1

In a Cisco Unified CCX application script, a number is read from an external database. The number must then be played out as part of a prompt. The Cisco Unified CCX Editor step that creates a new prompt that can play out the number is the Create Generated Prompt step12

The Create Generated Prompt step is a media step that allows you to create a prompt from a text or a number. The step uses the Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine or the Number-to-Speech (NTS) engine to generate a voice prompt that can be played to the caller. The step has two tabs: General and Settings. The General tab allows you to specify the input type (text or number), the input value (a variable or a literal), and the output prompt (a variable that stores the generated prompt). The Settings tab allows you to configure the TTS or NTS settings, such as the language, the voice, and the speed12

The other options are not correct:

Create Container Prompt: The Create Container Prompt step is a media step that allows you to create a prompt from a list of existing prompts. The step concatenates the prompts into a single prompt that can be played to the caller. The step has one tab: General. The General tab allows you to specify the input prompts (a list of variables or literals) and the output prompt (a variable that stores the concatenated prompt)12

Create Language Prompt: The Create Language Prompt step is a media step that allows you to create a prompt from a language-specific prompt. The step selects the prompt that matches the language of the current session and assigns it to a variable. The step has one tab: General. The General tab allows you to specify the input prompt (a variable or a literal that contains a language-specific prompt) and the output prompt (a variable that stores the selected prompt)12

Create Conditional Prompt: The Create Conditional Prompt step is a media step that allows you to create a prompt based on a condition. The step evaluates the condition and assigns the corresponding prompt to a variable. The step has two tabs: General and Settings. The General tab allows you to specify the condition (a Boolean expression) and the output prompt (a variable that stores the conditional prompt). The Settings tab allows you to specify the true prompt and the false prompt (variables or literals that contain the prompts for the true and false cases)12

 The Cisco Unified CCX steps that would make an HTTP request are Cache Document and Send Http Response. The Cache Document step sends an HTTP GET request to a specified URL and stores the response in a Document variable. The Send Http Response step sends an HTTP response to the client that initiated the HTTP request. The response can include a status code, headers, cookies, and a body1, pages 2-81 and 2-82. The following steps do not make an HTTP request:

Create URL Document: This step creates a URL Document variable from a string or a URL. The step does not send or receive any data over the network1, page 2-78.

Write Document: This step writes a Document variable to a file on the local disk or a network share. The step does not use the HTTP protocol1, page 2-79. References: Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Editor Step Reference Guide, Release 11.6(2)

The default eMail address in the eMail Subsystem Configuration page is used as the From address in the Send eMail step if no address is specified. This is useful when you want to send emails from a generic or default address without having to specify it in every Send eMail step. The default eMail address can be configured in the Unified CCX Administration web interface, under Subsystems > eMail > eMail Subsystem Configuration. You can also specify the default eMail address in the script editor, using the Set Default eMail Address step. References := Deploying Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCXD) v6.0 > Module 3: Implementing Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Scripting > Lesson 3: Implementing Basic Scripting Techniques > Topic 3.3: Sending an E-mail Message1

 The two releases that require physical media to be ordered and received prior to patching or upgrading Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) are the major release and the service update. A major release is a new version of UCCX that introduces significant changes and new features. A service update is a maintenance release that fixes bugs and enhances the functionality of UCCX. Both the major release and the service update are available as ISO images that can be downloaded from the Cisco website or ordered as physical DVDs12

The other options do not require physical media to be ordered and received prior to patching or upgrading UCCX:

Minor release: A minor release is a new version of UCCX that has minor changes and enhancements. A minor release is available as a COP file that can be downloaded from the Cisco website and applied to the UCCX system using the CLI or the web interface12

Engineering special: An engineering special is a patch that addresses a specific issue or customer request. An engineering special is available as a COP file that can be downloaded from the Cisco website and applied to the UCCX system using the CLI or the web interface12
