########## UPGRADING FROM 2.0.4 TO 2.0.5 ##########
|
|
|
|
1. Note the license change from GPLv2 to AGPLv2. This change was made to close
|
|
the ASP loophole for code distribution that was present in the GPLv2
|
|
license. Please read the docs/LICENSE.txt file for more information
|
|
|
|
2. install new files:
|
|
perl ./install.pl
|
|
NOTES: If you have customized any scripts in the bin or agi folders,
|
|
then make sure you back them up before running the install.pl script.
|
|
This script will replace existing files in the astguiclient installation.
|
|
|
|
3. upgrade the MySQL asterisk database:
|
|
mysql
|

|
|
\. /path/from/root/extras/upgrade_2.0.5.sql
|
|
quit
|
|
|
|
4. Several of the MySQL tables have been changed to a HEAP type to reside in
|
|
memory to improve performance.
|
|
|
|
5. Added the ability for inbound and blended agents to choose their selected
|
|
in-groups without logging out. The new GROUPS link at the top of the
|
|
agent screen(vicidial.php) can be used when an agent is Paused to
|
|
change their selected groups and whether they are set to do Blended
|
|
calling or not. There is also a new log with the details of what
|
|
groups an agent has selected each time in the user stats page.
|
|
|
|
6. Queue Priority has been added allowing for the prioritization of one in-group
|
|
over another in-group or outbound campaign(when in blended mode)
|
|
|
|
7. Drop call action has been added to both inbound and outbound calling. You
|
|
can now send a call that would drop into an inbound group. The call will
|
|
still be recorded as a DROP in it's original in-group or campaign, but
|
|
the lead information will move on to the drop in-group.
|
|
|
|
8. Audio recording mixing/compression/ftping scripts have been completely
|
|
rewritten and separated into different scripts for better fault
|
|
tolerance. Also, you have the option of compression in to the following
|
|
formats: WAV, GSM, MP3 and OGG
|
|
- AST_CRON_audio_1_move_mix.pl
|
|
- AST_CRON_audio_1_move_VDonly.pl
|
|
- AST_CRON_audio_2_compress.pl
|
|
- AST_CRON_audio_3_ftp.pl
|
|
|
|

|
|
files, prompt recordings, bin, agi and web files:
|
|
ADMIN_backup.pl
|
|
|
|
10. Added ability to override recording options of a campaign for individual
|
|
inbound-groups
|
|
|
|
11. The 8 outbound agi-VDADtransfer scripts are in process of being consolidated
|
|
into a single AGI script: agi-VDAD_ALL_outbound.agi
|
|
All older outbound scripts are depricated and do not function any more
|
|
|
|
12. The start of a new QC (Quality Control) feature [non functional right now]
|
|
|
|
13. Install the Switch perl module from CPAN
|
|
perl -MCPAN -e shell
|
|
- install Switch
|
|
|
|
14. Recording to RAM now uses tmpfs it is usually included in all kernels if you want
|
|
to check in in menuconfig you will find it under
|
|
File Systems --> Pseudo filesystems --> [*] Virtual memory file system support.
|
|
It does not hurt to enable
|
|
[*] Tmpfs POSIX Access Control Lists
|
|
as well.
|
|
The following line should be added to /etc/fstab:
|
|
tmpfs /var/spool/asterisk/monitor tmpfs rw 0 0
|
|
Mounting the ramdisk in rc.local should be remove:
|
|
# mke2fs -m 0 /dev/ram0
|
|
# mount /dev/ram0 /var/spool/asterisk/monitor
|
|
This allows for a more efficient use of memory and recording to RAM with less RAM
|
|
available.
|
|
|
|
15. The following should be added to the [featuremap] section of /etc/asterisk/features.conf
|
|
to prevent agents and called parties from being able to "transfer" a call to any
|
|
number possible in your Asterisk dialplan.
|
|
[featuremap]
|
|
blindxfer => D
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
17. Added the ability to load balance the logins to vicidial.php for phones
|
|
that are registered to multiple servers on a multi-server system.
|
|
Simply put multiple phone_login values in the phone login field at
|
|
login separated by a comma and the vicidial.php script will pick the
|
|
server that has the fewest agents logged into it at the moment of login.
|
|
|
|
18. Added ability for vicidial.php to populate the phones.computer_ip field upon
|
|
agent login. Options set in the vicidial.php file to allow for overwrite
|
|
every login or only if field is empty.
|
|

|
|
phone numbers per lead. Currently these extra numbers are only available for

|
The user ID and password for the agent must be digits only for this to work!
|
|
This requires the following to be added to the dialplan on the dial-in DID
|
|

Please look at the script header or the SCRATCH_INSTALL doc for more
|
|
info on how to alter your extenions.conf to use the new script.
|
|
The old agi-VDAD_closer... scripts have all been depricated and moved
|
|
to the extras/old_agi/ directory.
|
|
|
|
16. AST_agent_performance_detail.php report script has been completely rewritten
|
|
|
|
17. REQUIRED CHANGE! If you use Fronter/Closer campaigns where an agent is sending
|
|
calls to a closer, you will need to define the new "Default Transfer Group"
|
|
field with the inbound group that you want to take the calls. Transfers
|
|
are now allowed from a list of definable in-groups that you have to set
|
|
in the campaign detail screen.
|
|
|
|
18. In the vicidial.php code, you can now modify the size of the elements on the
|
|
screen using the BROWSER_HEIGHT and BROWSER_WIDTH variables.
|
|
|

|
########## UPGRADING FROM 2.0.2 TO 2.0.3 ##########
|
|
|
|
1. install new files:
|
|
perl ./install.pl
|
|
NOTES: If you have customized any scripts in the bin or agi folders,
|
|
then make sure you back them up before running the install.pl script.
|
|
This script will replace existing files in the astguiclient installation.
|
|
|
|
2. upgrade the MySQL asterisk database:
|
|
mysql
|
|
use asterisk
|
|
\. /path/from/root/extras/upgrade_2.0.3.sql
|
|
quit
|
|
|
|
3. The server_stats.php has been merged into the vicidial/admin.php page
|
|
|
|
4. Width of the admin.php screen, and the color and size of the headers are all
|
|
now definable by variables at top of the admin.php script.
|
|
|
|
5. Dial Override checkbox added to the campaign modification screen of admin.php
|
|
to force manual dial_level changes in ADAPT dialing modes.
|
|
|
|
6. Behaviour of HotKeys in manual dial mode has changed to automatically go on
|
|
to the next lead when a HotKey is pressed.
|
|
|
|
7. It is now possible for agents to dial alternate phone numbers using only
|
|
HotKeys if ALTPH2 and/or ADDR3 are added to a campaign's hotkeys.
|
|
|
|
8. You can now use BLEND/INBND/*_C/*_B/*_I to define a campaign a a CLOSER
|
|
campaign capable of taking inbound calls.
|
|
|
|
9. In Auto-dialing campaigns(RATIO and ADAPT) you can now configure the dialer
|
|
to dial up to two alternate numbers per lead automatically, as well as
|
|
defining the statuses that you want to do this for. More info about
|
|
this feature in the ALTERNATE_NUMBER_DIALING.txt doc.
|
|
|
|
10. Added ability to send multiple concurrent transfers at once to agents in
|
|
outbound campaigns. This will greatly benefit larger VICIDIAL
|
|
installations by decreasing the time it takes for a call to get to an
|
|
agent once answered after a large queue backup. This is defaulted to
|
|
AUTO, but can be forced to a set number. This is the Concurrent
|
|
Transfers option in the Campaign Modification page.
|
|
|
|
11. New optimized code for AST_manager_send.pl and AST_send_action_child.pl.
|
|
Thanks to Lott Caskey for the code contribution
|
|
|
|
12. The field user_group has been added to several log tables to allow for
|
|
better tracking of stats by user groups. Several reports now offer
|
|
user group display options.
|
|
|
|
13. VERY IMPORTANT!!! Make sure the php.ini setting for memory_limit is set to
|
|
a minimum of 12M, we recommend 48M:
|
|
memory_limit = 48M
|
|
Some of the scripts have grown in size and need more memory to run
|
|
properly on some systems.
|
|
|
|
14. Added ability to control access to each admin section by vicidial_users.
|
|
This includes a view_reports settings to restrict access to all of the
|
|
reports scripts.
|
|
|
|
15. Added Agent Pause Codes that are definable per campaign and allows the
|
|
agent to select what they are doing when they are in pause time.
|
|
|
|
16. Added optional Asterisk-compatible queue_log logging for QueueMetrics
|
|
compatibility. See the QUEUEMETRICS.txt doc for more information
|
|
|
|
17. RECOMMENDATION - If you are calling in the USA, you should add the
|
|
"--postal-code-gmt" flag to your adjust GMT script in the crontab to
|
|
more accurately assign timezones to your leads.
|
|
|
|
18. Changed dial statuses to use dynamic number of dial statuses instead of
|
|
static dial_status_x fields.
|
|
|
|
19. Added Mute/UnMute ability to vicidial.php agent screen. To use, you must
|
|
have the _X18600XXX and _X28600XXX entries in your extensions.conf
|
|
|
|
20. Added basic sipsak display on compatible SIP devices for VICIDIAL activity.
|
|
|
|
21. Tested with Asterisk 1.2.16 and 1.2.17, new patch for meetme volume controls
|
|
for those two versions, see SCRATCH_INSTALL for more info.
|
|
|
|
22. Added HOME link to the admin web page that goes to a configurable web address.
|
|

|
|
########## UPGRADING FROM 2.0.1 TO 2.0.2 ##########
|
|
|
|
1. install new files:
|
|
perl ./install.pl
|
|
NOTES: If you have customized any scripts in the bin or agi folders,
|
|
then make sure you back them up before running the install.pl script.
|
|
This script will replace existing files in the astguiclient installation.
|
|
|
|
/etc/astguiclient.conf has new variables for new functionality including:
|
|
- new ADMIN_keepalive_ALL process settings
|
|
- FastAGI_log server settings
|
|
and comments are added to the astguiclient.conf file
|
|
|
|
2. upgrade the MySQL asterisk database:
|
|
mysql
|
|
use asterisk
|
|
\. /path/from/root/extras/upgrade_2.0.2.sql
|
|
quit
|
|
/usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_area_code_populate.pl
|
|
The Daylight Savings Time scheme for the USA and Canada has been
|
|
updated for the 2007 changes. Also, Brazil DST has been added.
|
|
Another addition on this topic is the addition of USA zipcode
|
|
GMT offset list that allows for more accurate timezone lookups.
|
|
|
|
3. The astguiclient web directory has been removed and the
|
|
astguiclient/admin.php functions have been merged into the
|
|
vicidial/admin.php page
|
|
|
|
4. You can now define trunks for use only by specific campaigns. See the help
|
|
in the vicidial/admin.php server modification page under the
|
|
VICIDIAL SERVER TRUNKS section.
|
|
|
|
5. Agents now have the ability to control volume levels for any call in their
|
|
meetme room directly from the vicidial.php page. This only works on
|
|
Asterisk 1.2.7.1, 1.2.12.1, 1.2.13 or SVN_1.2 and the meetmeadmin_volume_control.patch
|
|
patch must be applied as described in the SCRATCH_INSTALL. Also, a few
|
|
lines must be added to the extensions.conf for this to work:
|
|
(_X48600XXX, _X38600XXX, 8300 [see docs/conf_examples/extensions.conf.sample])
|
|
|
|
6. Multiple ADMIN_keepalive scripts have been replaced with a single script
|
|
ADMIN_keepalive_ALL.pl
|
|
Remove all other ADMIN keepalive entries in your crontab and replace
|
|
with this one:
|
|
### keepalive script for astguiclient processes
|
|
* * * * * /usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_keepalive_ALL.pl
|
|
|
|
NOTE: the scripts to be kept alive are to be defined in the astguiclient.conf file
|
|
|
|
7. FastAGI replacement for call_log and VD_hangup AGI scripts:
|
|
FastAGI_log.pl - requires cpan module Net::Server to run
|
|
If you want to use it, read the comments at the top of the script
|
|
Look at the docs/conf_examples/extensions.conf.sample file for examples
|
|
of how to use this new feature in your dialplan
|
|
- cpan
|
|
- install Net::Server
|
|
|
|
8. Fix for unregistered SIP trunks (thanks to Chris Doyle):
|
|
look at the bottom of the docs/conf_examples/extensions.conf.sample
|
|
file for examples of what to put in your extensions.conf file to get
|
|
VICIDIAL auto dialing to work with non-registered SIP trunks. remember
|
|
to put sip-silence.gsm in your /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/ directory.
|
|
|
|
9. Added new campaign summary screen and reformatted the timeonVDADall report:
|
|
A summary screen with all of the call information for every active
|
|
campaign for the day. reformatted campaign Realtime report with new
|
|
colors and other display options.
|
|
|
|
10. Added new script to change the server_ip entries when a machine changes IPs
|
|
The ADMIN_update_server_ip.pl script can be used to update your server's
|
|
IP address within all vicidial database tables and config files from
|
|
this one script. This can even be run in the crontab if you are on
|
|
a DHCP service and need to modify your IP address often
|
|
|
|
11. Added new script to allow for dial-out-only(no agents on the server)
|
|
VICIDIAL servers as well as balance dialing where a server with
|
|
available trunk lines can dial lines for another server that does not
|
|
have enough lines to dial for it's dial_level. AST_VDauto_dial_FILL.pl
|
|
script is only for multi-server systems and is started from new
|
|
ADMIN_keepalive_ALL.pl script with option 7 in astguiclient.conf
|
|
|
|
12. Added the ability to restrict agent logins by user group to a specific set
|
|
of campaigns. This is definable in the USER GROUPS section of admin.php.
|
|
You must make sure that your admin login is in a user group and that
|
|
the selected user group has the allowable campaigns set to ALL
|
|
CAMPAIGNS to be able to view and modify all campaigns in the system.
|
|
|
|
13. Added lead_id and user fields to the recording_log, along with cross-
|
|
reference links in several admin web pages for these.
|
|
|
|
14. Changed Drop percentage to be out of Answered calls for FTC compliance.
|
|
|
|
15. Tested new asterisk-perl module (0.09) and found that it is NOT compatible.
|
|
Please make sure you use asterisk-perl-0.08 ONLY.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
########## UPGRADING FROM 1.1.12-3 TO 2.0.1 ##########
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading to the 2.0 code tree from the 1.1.12-3 release there have
|
|
been several changes made to the code base and to where some files are stored in
|
|
the release as well as on your machine.
|
|
|
|
1. upgrade the MySQL Asterisk database:
|
|
mysql
|
|
use asterisk
|
|
\. /path/from/root/extras/upgrade_2.0.1.sql
|
|
quit
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. use the new installer for astguiclient-VICIDIAL files:
|
|
NOTE: this new script is interactive with prompts. this script will
|
|
create the new /etc/astguiclient.conf settings file that replaces the
|
|
old AST_SERVER_conf.pl file that has been removed. Also, this settings
|
|
file is used by dbconnect.php scripts so no need to manually edit them
|
|
|
|
perl install.pl
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Make sure you have MySQL clientlibs installed:
|
|
Because all perl script now use DBI instead of Net::MySQL you need to make sure
|
|
that you have at least the MySQL client installed on all VICIDIAL servers even
|
|
if the MySQL server is installed on another machine. You can skip this step if
|
|
MySQL server is already on your VICIDIAL server:
|
|
Go to http://www.mysql.com/ and download the mysql package
|
|
- to install this directly on the command line type:
|
|
- cd /usr/local
|
|
- wget http://mirror.trouble-free.net/mysql_mirror/Downloads/MySQL-4.0/mysql-4.0.27.tar.gz
|
|
- gunzip mysql-4.0.27.tar.gz
|
|
- tar xvf mysql-4.0.27.tar
|
|
- cd mysql-4.0.27
|
|
- groupadd mysql
|
|
- useradd -g mysql mysql
|
|
- "./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --without-server --enable-shared=yes --with-readline"
|
|
- make
|
|
- make install
|
|
- you are done
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. New MySQL perl modules:
|
|
You will need to make sure that you have installed the following perl modules:
|
|
DBI (top-level Database interface module "install DBI")
|
|
DBD::mysql (MySQL-specific interface through DBI "force install DBD::mysql")
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. new predictive dialing crontab entry:
|
|
If you will be using the new predictive dialing functions you need to make sure
|
|
you have the keepalive for this function loaded in your crontab:
|
|
NOTE: this only needs to be on a single server if you are in a multiple
|
|
VICIDIAL server setup.
|
|
### keepalive script for VICIDIAL predictive script
|
|
* * * * * /usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_keepalive_AST_VDadapt.pl
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. all old crontab entries and /home/cron files
|
|
All of your old crontab entries need to be changed from /home/cron to
|
|
/usr/share/astguiclient if you choose the default installation path. You can
|
|
manually set the path to /home/cron if you like though since the home path is
|
|
now dynamic in all vicidial perl(.pl) scripts. If you do choose to use the new
|
|
default path, you can delete everything in the /home/cron directory if you like
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. old /etc/rc.d/rc.local entries
|
|
Be sure to change your /etc/rc.d/rc.local entries(the commands that are run at
|
|
system boot to start asterisk and other scripts like log rolling) and change the
|
|
/home/cron path to the new /usr/share/astguiclient path.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. other notes:
|
|
- there is a new DIAL METHOD field and several other new dial-control fields
|
|
in campaign modification page, please take a minute to read the help
|
|
documentation for these new features.
