About Communications Drivers and Profiles

Using Email, Fax, and Other Communications Systems

Added coverage of the Internet SMTP/IMAP Server communications driver, which supports IMAP servers for inbound email. This driver uses the same library file as the Internet SMTP/POP3 Server driver, and shares most of the same parameters.

Parameters for Communications Configurations

Preference Settings for Communications

Added a description for the ImplicitSave parameter for communications configurations. By default, there is no implicit save of a new or changed record when a user clicks an icon in the communications toolbar—a change from previous releases.

Added a description of the MessageDisplayInterval parameter for communications configurations and a description of the related user-preference setting Message Display Interval.

Generating Contact Center Telephony Analytics Reports

New topic. Describes new reports for contact centers.

"Generating Communications Reports"

Deleted topic. Preconfigured reports for Actuate (and Actuate products) are no longer available with Siebel Business Applications.

Using the Virtual CTI Driver

The Virtual CTI communications driver has been renamed and enhanced in this release. In previous releases, the driver was named TaW. This driver enables Siebel Communications Server to connect to Oracle Contact Center Anywhere.

"Using Siebel CTI Connect"

Siebel CTI Connect is no longer supported as of the current release.

CTI Simulation, which used the CTI Connect driver and configuration data, is also no longer supported.

Settings for Internet SMTP/POP3 Server Driver

Settings for Internet SMTP/IMAP Server Driver

The library name for the Internet SMTP/POP3 Server driver has been renamed from sscmpop3 to sscmmail. This driver is also used for the new Internet SMTP/IMAP Server driver.
