When deploying Avaya OA using VMWare ESX servers, you should continue to follow: All Avaya OA prerequisites and deployment guidelines as documented in the Avaya OA Installation Planning and Prerequisites guide CPU, Memory and Disk sizing guidelines from the sizing tool You should tune system performance and monitor virtual machines using appropriate VMWare tools.

What s New in Avaya OA 7.3 Comments? infodev@avaya.com July 2014 17

Chapter 3: What s New in Avaya Operational Analyst 7.3 Optional database management The database administrator is required to configure the Avaya OA database during the Avaya OA installation. For Oracle installations (Windows or Solaris), requirements for this user have been revised. In Avaya OA 7.1, the DB Administrator user required SYSDBA role but now in Avaya OA 7.3, the DB Administrator user requires DBA role. However, Oracle SYS user can still be used for OA installation. The other database user attributes defined in the Avaya Operational Analyst Installation Planning and Prerequisites should be met. Agent State by Channel Avaya OA 7.3 adds the Agent State by Channel functionality. By capturing and reporting agent state information by channel, Avaya OA provides more complete information to contact center managers to help in understanding how their agents are currently working. The agent state by channel reporting feature is an extension of the agent availability by channel reporting feature. Agent state by channel provides reporting in addition to the overall state reporting, which reports on general agent state in across all channels. By capturing the agent state information, Avaya OA can calculate how much time agents spend in each of the states. These durations include: Note: Logged in duration - Time the agent is logged in to the channel. Work duration - Time the agent state is Active, Occupied or Wrap-up for the channel. Occupied duration - Time that the agent is working at their maximum task load for a particular channel, making the agent unavailable to receive additional contacts on this channel. Task load is set in IC Manager. Non contact duration - Time the agent is in the channel but not available for contact work, such as when in state AUX, during computer hardware or software failure or other equipment failure. Idle duration - Time the agent is in the channel doing no work but is available for work. Note: Each of these durations is fully defined in the Avaya OA 7.3 Data Model. These measures provide additional resources to contact center managers to help understand how their agents are currently working, and where they can make process improvements. 18 What s New in Avaya OA 7.3 Comments? infodev@avaya.com July 2014

New and enhanced features in Avaya OA Cross-domain authentication Cross-domain authentication provides graded authentication that lets users from different domains access and execute reports. Cross-domain authentication is useful especially when users from different domains within the same organization want to access and execute Avaya OA basic and tabular reports. Avaya OA 7.3 adds support for cross-domain authentication. By adding support for cross-domain authentication, Avaya OA allows users from trusted domains to access resources in the other domains by validating their credentials. For cross-domain authentication to take place successfully, a two-way trust relation must be established between two domains through ADS. One of the domains is a primary domain and the other is a secondary domain, which is trusted by the primary domain. Consider the following scenario to understand how cross-domain authentication is supported by Avaya OA: Users Primary Domain (Whether the user is member of "Primary Domain") Trusted Domain (Whether the user is member of "Trusted Domain") Whether the user can access resources from both the domains... User A Yes Yes Yes User B No Yes No User C Yes No No! Important: Important: The data presented in the matrix is based on the assumption that both the primary and the secondary trusted domain are mutually trusted domains. The user (User A) from a group affiliated to a group from the Trusted Domain is already added to a group in the Primary Domain to ensure that it (User A) gets to use the resources from the Primary Domain. The user (User B) from a group affiliated to a group from the Trusted Domain needs to be added to a group in the Primary Domain to ensure that it (User B) gets to use the resources from the Primary Domain. The user (User C) from a group affiliated to a group from the Primary Domain needs to be added to a group in the Trusted Domain to ensure that it (User C) gets to use the resources from the Trusted Domain. Avaya OA groups must be of the Universal type so that users from other trusted domains can be added in these groups. Cross-domain authentication is supported in Avaya OA 7.3 by using the following instructions: What s New in Avaya OA 7.3 Comments? infodev@avaya.com July 2014 19

Chapter 3: What s New in Avaya Operational Analyst 7.3 A two-way trust relationship must be established between the primary and trusted domain through the Active Directory Server. The users from the trusted domain need to be added in Avaya OA groups (such as oaadmin, oarpt, oarptwriter) on the primary domain. The autserver.properties file needs to be provided with a new property: TRUSTEDDOMAINS = Fully qualified Domain Name1,Fully qualified Domain Name2 where Fully qualified Domain Name1 and Fully qualified Domain Name2 are domains trusted to and by the primary domain. These trusted domains are separated by a comma "," (without the quotes). For example, TRUSTEDDOMAINS = punoadom3.avaya.com,punoadom2.avaya.com Prerequisites for a user in Cross Domain authentication: Check that the user, who is going to use cross-domain access, is able to access shared resources at windows level. Check that the user has enough rights for accessing Avaya OA reports. Important:! Important: The primary domain name is not to be listed in the TRUSTEDDOMAINS property of the autserver.properties file. CORBA infrastructure change Avaya OA 7.3 has undergone a generic CORBA infrastructure change, wherein the C++ naming service has been replaced by the Java Naming Service.
