According to the Avaya Workforce Engagement Support Installation Guide, the recorder Integration Service is a component that enables the recorder to communicate with the switch and receive call signaling and metadata. The recorder Integration Service requires a CTI adapter, which is a software module that connects to the switch and provides the necessary information to the recorder. There can be multiple CTI adapters per system, depending on the number of data sources and switches. A CTI adapter is necessary for Integration Service, as it is responsible for providing the call data to the recorder. References: Avaya Workforce Engagement Support Installation Guide, page 18.

According to the Avaya Workforce Engagement Installation Guide, one of the prerequisites for accessing the web portal is to configure the security settings on Internet Explorer 11 to allow access to multiple servers. This is because the web portal uses a single sign-on mechanism that requires communication between different servers in the domain. If the security settings are not configured properly, the user may encounter login issues or errors when accessing the web portal. References: : Avaya Workforce Engagement Installation Guide, page 29, section “Configuring Internet Explorer 11 security settings”

• B: It is a predefined set of Server Roles that are deployed together on the same machine. This is true because the Framework platform is a logical grouping of Server Roles that are installed on a single server. A Server Role is a functional component of Avaya Workforce Engagement that provides specific capabilities, such as Recorder, Central Archive, or Quality Monitoring. The Framework platform includes the following Server Roles: Framework Enterprise Manager, Framework Services, Framework Database, and Framework Web Services3
• C: The platform is HW independent. This is true because the Framework platform can be installed on various hardware types, such as Dell PowerEdge, HP ProLiant, or VMware virtual machines. The hardware requirements depend on the number of channels to be recorded and the number of concurrent users4
• E: It can be installed with another platform on the same hardware. This is true because the Framework platform can coexist with another platform on the same server, such as Recorder or Central Archive. This enables flexibility and scalability for the system. However, some platforms cannot be installed together on the same server, such as Quality Monitoring and Screen Capture5

According to the Avaya Workforce Optimization Select Administration Guide, the following are some of the maintenance tasks that should be completed on a daily or weekly basis:

• B. Check active alarms. The administrator should monitor the health status of the servers and services in the Avaya Workforce Engagement system and check for any active alarms that indicate critical or major issues. The administrator can use Enterprise Manager to view the alarms and their details, such as severity, description, time, and resolution steps. The administrator should resolve the alarms as soon as possible to avoid any impact on the system performance or functionality.
• C. Confirm Services are running. The administrator should verify that all the services and components that are required for the Avaya Workforce Engagement system are running properly on each server. The administrator can use Enterprise Manager to view the status of each service and component, such as online, offline, orerror. The administrator should restart any service or component that is not running or has an error status.
• D. Perform Database backups. The administrator should perform regular backups of the databases that store the configuration and data for the Avaya Workforce Engagement system, such as the Framework database, the Recorder database, and the Quality Management database. The administrator can use Enterprise Manager to schedule and manage the database backups, as well as restore them in case of a disaster recovery scenario.

The statements A and E are incorrect because:

• A. Consider loading trends. This is not a maintenance task that should be completed on a daily or weekly basis, but rather a planning task that should be done before installing or scaling the Avaya Workforce Engagement system. The administrator should consider the loading trends of the contact center, such as the number of agents, channels, interactions, evaluations, etc., and determine the optimal deployment level and server configuration for the system.
• E. Check data fragmentation. This is not a maintenance task that should be completed on a daily or weekly basis, but rather an optimization task that should be done periodically or when needed. The administrator should check the data fragmentation of the databases that store the configuration and data for the Avaya Workforce Engagement system, such as the Framework database, the Recorder database, and the Quality Management database. Data fragmentation occurs when data is stored in non-contiguous blocks on the disk, which can affect the performance and efficiency of the database operations. The administrator can use Enterprise Manager to analyze and defragment the databases to improve their performance. References: Avaya Workforce Optimization Select Administration Guide

According to the Avaya Workforce Optimization Select Installation Guide, the prerequisites for installing Avaya Workforce Engagement server in deployment level 3, 4 or 5 are as follows:

• B. The Framework components can be installed using a Management Service Account (MSA). An MSA is a domain account that has local administrator privileges on all servers in the Framework domain. The MSA is used to install and run the Framework services and components.
• C. The Framework components need to be installed using a domain account with local administrator privileges in the Framework server. This account is different from the MSA and is used to log in to the Framework server and run the installation wizard.
• D. Data center zone servers, service user and group account, must all be members of the domain’s Active Directory. A data center zone is a logical grouping of servers that share common resources and settings. A service user account is a domain account that has local administrator privileges on all servers in the data center zone. A service group account is a domain group that contains all service user accounts in the data center zone.

The statements A and E are incorrect because:

• A. Data center servers can be split in multi-domain forests. This is not a prerequisite for installing Avaya Workforce Engagement server, but rather an optional configuration that allows for more flexibility and scalability. However, this configuration requires additional steps and considerations, such as setting up trust relationships between domains and configuring DNS suffixes.
• E. The Framework components can be installed in a workgroup environment. This is not a prerequisite for installing Avaya Workforce Engagement server, but rather an alternative configuration that is only supported for deployment level 1 or 2. A workgroup environment does not use Active Directory or domain accounts, but rather local accounts and groups on each server. References: [Avaya Workforce Optimization Select Installation Guide]

Avaya Contact Recorder Advanced (ACRA) is a component of the Avaya Workforce Engagement suite that provides the capability to record, store, and play back voice and screen interactions. The two primary functions of ACRA are record and store/archive. Record function allows businesses to capture customer interactions across multiple channels and media types, such as voice, video, chat, email, and social media. Store/archive function enables businesses to securely store and manage the recorded interactions in compliance with various regulations and standards, such as PCI, GDPR, and MiFID II. ACRA also supports replay function, which allows users to search and play back the recorded interactions based on various criteria, such as date, time, agent, customer, and keywords. Quality monitor function is not a primary function of ACRA, but it is a separate component of the Avaya Workforce Engagement suite that synchronizes the agent’s on-screen activity to the audio recording and provides agent performance evaluation tools. References:

According to the Customer Guide to Avaya DMCC-MR Integrations1, the following statements about Multiple Registration are true:

• It provides the same benefits of Avaya Delivery Dedicated Integration Service Observe. This means that it supports recording of both inbound and outbound calls, as well as internal calls between agents. It also supports recording of transferred and conference calls, as well as call hold and resume events.
• Each recording target requires a dedicated softphone. This means that each agent extension must have a corresponding softphone extension that is registered on the Avaya AES server and used for recording purposes. The softphone extension must be configured with the same call appearance and bridged appearance settings as the agent extension.
• It allows a dual recording solution. This means that it supports recording of both voice and screen activity of the agents using the Avaya DMCC-MR integration. The voice recording is done by the inContact WFO Call Recording application, while the screen recording is done by the inContact WFO Screen Recording application.

According to the Avaya Workforce Optimization Select Installation Guide, the database management Service account is a domain account that is used to access and manage the databases that store the configuration and data for the Avaya Workforce Engagement system, such as the Framework database, the Recorder database, and the Quality Management database. Some of the statements that are true about this account are:

• A. The account cannot be the same as the Management Service account. The Management Service account is another domain account that is used to install and runthe Framework services and components on each server in the Framework domain. The database management Service account and the Management Service account must be different accounts, as they have different roles and permissions in the system.
• B. The password can be changed after the installation. The password for the database management Service account can be changed after the installation, as long as it meets the password policy requirements and it is updated in all relevant places in the system, such as Enterprise Manager, SQL Server Configuration Manager, SQL Server Management Studio, etc.

The statements C and D are incorrect because:

• C. It is allowed to change the username after initial installation. This is not true, as changing the username for the database management Service account after initial installation is not supported or recommended by Avaya Workforce Engagement Support1. Changing the username may cause errors or issues with accessing or managing the databases.
• D. The account must be defined within a workgroup. This is not true, as the account must be defined within a domain, not a workgroup2. A domain is a network environment that uses Active Directory to manage users, groups, computers, and resources across multiple servers. A workgroup is a network environment that does not use Active Directory, but rather local accounts and groups on each server. References: Avaya Workforce Optimization Select Installation Guide, Avaya Workforce Engagement Support, Avaya Workforce Optimization Select Planning Guide

According to the Avaya Workforce Engagement Installation Guide, some procedures are the customer’s responsibility before installing or upgrading the software. These procedures include:

• Firewall configuration: The customer must ensure that the firewall rules allow communication between the servers and clients in the domain, as well as external services such as email, NTP, and DNS. The customer must also open specific ports for different components of the Avaya Workforce Engagement solution, such as recording, playback, database, and web services. The installation guide provides a list of ports that need to be opened for each component.
• SSL certificates preparation: The customer must prepare and install SSL certificates for securing the communication between the servers and clients in the domain. The customer can use self-signed certificates or certificates issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA). The installation guide provides instructions on how to generate and install SSL certificates for different components of the Avaya Workforce Engagement solution, such as recording server, application server, web server, and database server.
• Antivirus installation: The customer must install and configure an antivirus software on each server in the domain to protect the system from malware and viruses. The customer must also exclude certain folders and processes from antivirus scanning to avoid performance issues or conflicts with the Avaya Workforce Engagement software. The installation guide provides a list of folders and processes that need to be excluded from antivirus scanning for each component of the Avaya Workforce Engagement solution.

The other two procedures, SR tool software installation and SSRS preparation for reports ingestion, are not the customer’s responsibility, but rather part of the installation or upgrade process performed by the technician or administrator. References: : Avaya Workforce Engagement Installation Guide, pages 17-28, sections “Prerequisites” and “Preparing for installation or upgrade”

According to the Avaya Workforce Engagement Support Administration Guide, Central Archive is a feature that allows administrators to archive recordings from one or more recorders to a central location. Central Archive uses campaigns, which are sets of filter rules that define which recordings to archive based on criteria such as date range, recording type, agent ID, DNIS, ANI, and others. Central Archive does not pull and archive specified recordings from a local recorder only, as it can archive recordings from multiple recorders. The archive role does not reside on the recorder, but on a separate server that communicates with the recorder. Central Archive does not archive 100% of recordings, as it depends on the campaign configuration. References: Avaya Workforce Engagement Support Administration Guide, page 105.

The XML file that is exported from the Data Center Zone contains information about the servers role, such as recording, archiving, or playback. This file is used to import the configuration to the new Data Center Zone after the upgrade. The XML file does not include information about site servers, security settings, or enterprise settings, which are configured separately. References: Avaya Workforce Engagement Support Upgrade Guide, page 30.

According to the Avaya Workforce Engagement Support Installation Guide, server roles are components that provide specific functions and services for Avaya Workforce Engagement Support. Some examples of server roles are Recorder Integration Service and Avaya Contact Recorder. Recorder Integration Service is a server role that enables the recorder to communicate with the switch and receive call signaling and metadata. Avaya Contact Recorder is a server role that provides the recording, search, playback, and storage of voice interactions. The other options, such as Enterprise Manager and Framework Integration Service, are not server roles, but applications that run on servers. References: Avaya Workforce Engagement Support Installation Guide, page 18.

The Recorder Status Summary is a monitoring tool in the Recorder Manager that shows a visual update on how the Recorder and its components are working. It displays information such as:

• The status of the Recorder service, Capture service, Disk Manager service, and Database service.
• The number of active channels, active calls, and recorded calls.
• The disk space usage and availability for each partition.
• The CPU usage and memory usage for each service.
• The network bandwidth usage for each channel.
• The error logs and alerts for each component.

System Backup is a feature that allows administrators to backup and restore the system configuration and data of Avaya Workforce Engagement. System Backup can be enabled from the System Management>Central Archive >Backup menu, where administrators can configure the backup schedule, destination, and retention policy. System Backup is not enabled from the other menus, which are used for different purposes. References: Avaya Workforce Engagement Support Administration Guide, page 103.
