Install API plugin

Note

Please note that this plugin can only be utilized for AnywhereNow related products.

Prerequisites

Installation or Update of the plugin per UCC

  1. Log in on the server on which the UCC service is running.
  2. Go to the plug ins folder (‘DRIVE:\program files\core\anywhere365\plugins\'). If it doesn't exist, create it.
  3. Create a folder "Wsp.Anywhere365.ApiPlugin" for the plugins folder.
  4. Copy the dlls and included config files from the Bundle Plugin package to this folder.

    Note

    In case the folder is already created and the plug in is in use by the UCC, the UCC will have to be stopped (check if stopping of the UCC is allowed).

    Warning

    Please note that it is necessary to restart the UCC service in order for the UCC service to use the plugin.

Add plugin to config

Per UCC

  1. Open file ‘Config.xml’ for editing purposes.

    Tip

    It is highly recommended that you make a backup of the Config.xml.

    The default path of this file is:

    C:\ProgramData\Anywhere365\Core\Service\UnifiedContactCenterService\Config.xml

  2. Add "Plugin" value below ‘SettingsURL’ of the UCC.

    Copy
    XML
    <Plugin name="ApiPlugin" path="C:\Program Files\Anywhere365\Core\plugins\Wsp.Anywhere365.ApiPlugin" file="Wsp.Anywhere365.ApiPlugin.dll" />

For UCC Service

  1. Open file ‘Config.xml’ for editing purposes.

    Tip

    First make a backup of the file to prevent problems!

    The default path of this file is:

    C:\ProgramData\Anywhere365\Core\Service\UnifiedContactCenterService\Config.xml

  2. Add "Plugins" value below ‘Presence Provider’.

    Copy
    XML
    <Plugins>
    <Plugin name="ApiPlugin" path="C:\Program Files\Anywhere365\Core\plugins\Wsp.Anywhere365.ApiPlugin" file="Wsp.Anywhere365.ApiPlugin.dll" />
    </Plugins>

Configure UCC Settings

Add Plugin Settings

  1. Open the UCC Config page on SharePoint
  2. Open the Plugin Settings list
  3. Add the following settings:
Setting Value Scope
Enabled TRUE ApiPlugin
Uri http://fqdn:port ApiPlugin

Note

FQDN = Can be internal facing address (Dialogue Manager to UCC)

Port = Can be any free port.

Warning

The first UCC to start sets the port number. All subsequent UCCs in the same service must use this port.

Warning

Make sure to leave the fqdn to this service configured as a ".local" URL, especially when using multiple UCC services in the same region. If this is not done, the UCC cannot reach the right webserver internally leading to undesired or non-functional WebAgent behavior.

Restart UCC and validate

  1. Login to the AnywhereNow Application Server

  2. Start Services

  3. Restart "Anywhere365 Unified Contact Center"

  4. See the UCC logs if API Plugin is successfully loaded

    C:\ProgramData\Anywhere365\Core\Service\UnifiedContactCenterService\logs
