 A push sync is triggered when an administrator performs any create, update, or delete operation on a specific configuration item. A push sync sends the configuration changes to all the nodes in the PCCE deployment. A push sync is also triggered when an administrator adds or removes a node from the deployment.

Microapps are small applications that run on the CVP server and provide interactive voice response (IVR) functionality. They can play prompts, collect digits, perform database lookups, and transfer calls. Microapps are defined and configured using PCCE Web Administration Manager (S.P.O.G) under the Call Settings -> IVR Settings -> Network VRU Scripts menu. Here, you can create, modify, or delete network VRU scripts that reference the microapps and specify the parameters for each microapp. You can also associate the network VRU scripts with call types and dialed numbers to invoke them in the call flow12. References: Troubleshooting Cisco Contact Center Enterprise (CCET) course outline1, Contact Center Enterprise Troubleshooting and Configuration document2.

Dial-peers are the configuration objects that define the dial plan on a Cisco Voice Gateway/CUBE. Dial-peers are used to match the incoming and outgoing calls based on the destination patterns, and to apply the dial-peer attributes, such as codec, digit manipulation, voice-class, and call routing. Dial-peers can be of different types, such as POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service), VoIP (Voice over IP), or VXML (Voice XML). ATR, voice-class, and Voip voice are not the objects that define the dial plan, but they are some of the attributes that can be applied to the dial-peers.

The PCCE production deployment model on an ESXi server requires two validations: ensuring that the correct servers are on the correct sides and verifying that the correct RAM and CPU are being deployed. These validations are necessary to ensure that the PCCE components are configured properly and have sufficient resources to run smoothly. The other options are not relevant for the PCCE production deployment model on an ESXi server. Linux verification for containers is not applicable because PCCE does not use containers. The hypervisor provides enough power is not a validation step, but a prerequisite for the ESXi server. The lab is deployed properly is not a validation for the production deployment model, but for the lab deployment model. References: Virtualization for Cisco Packaged CCE Release 11.6(x)1, Deployment Type Info API2.

 The SAML Certificate Expiry details can be checked in the PCCE Web Administration Manager (S.RO.G) under the Features -> Single Sign-On menu. This menu can be used to view the certificate details, such as the issuer, validity period, and expiry date1.

SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is a standard protocol for exchanging authentication and authorization information between an identity provider (IdP) and a service provider (SP). SAML uses XML-based assertions that contain information about the user’s identity, attributes, and privileges. SAML certificates are used to sign and encrypt the assertions, and to verify the trust relationship between the IdP and the SP2.

PCCE (Packaged Contact Center Enterprise) is a solution that integrates multiple Cisco Unified Communications applications, such as CCE (Contact Center Enterprise), CVP (Customer Voice Portal), Finesse, CUIC (Unified Intelligence Center), and ECE (Enterprise Chat and Email). PCCE uses SAML to enable single sign-on (SSO) for users to access various PCCE applications with one username and password. PCCE uses Cisco Identity Service (IdS) as the SP and supports various IdPs, such as Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS), PingFederate, or Okta1.

The PCCE Web Administration Manager (S.RO.G) is a web-based interface that allows administrators to configure and manage various PCCE features and settings, such as SSO, Context Service, License Management, Device Configurations, etc. The S.RO.G stands for Single Pane of Glass, which means that the PCCE Web Administration Manager provides a unified and simplified view of the PCCE system1.

The other options are incorrect because:

• A: Features -> Context Service is a menu that allows administrators to configure and manage the Context Service feature, which is a cloud-based service that stores and retrieves customer data across different channels and applications. It has nothing to do with the SAML Certificate Expiry details1.
• B: Infrastructure Settings -> License Management is a menu that allows administrators to configure and manage the license settings for the PCCE system, such as the license type, the license server, the license usage, etc. It has nothing to do with the SAML Certificate Expiry details1.
• D: Infrastructure Settings -> Device Configurations -> Identity Services is a menu that allows administrators to configure and manage the Cisco Identity Service settings, such as the IdP URL, the IdS URL, the IdS certificate, etc. It does not show the SAML Certificate Expiry details, but rather the IdS Certificate Expiry details, which are different1.

When deploying Direct Attached Storage (DAS) only systems, it is important to remember that failure of a VM brings down all the components that are installed on the VM. This is because DAS is a type of storage that is connected directly to the computer accessing it, such as a PC or server, as opposed to storage that is accessed over a network, such as network-attached storage (NAS) or storage area network (SAN). DAS provides fast and low-latency access to the data, but it also limits the scalability and availability of the system. If a VM fails, the data stored on the DAS attached to that VM becomes inaccessible to other VMs or applications. Therefore, it is essential to have a backup and recovery strategy for the data on the DAS, as well as a high availability design for the VMs123. References: Solution Design Guide for Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise, Release 12.6 (1)1, Direct-Attached Storage (DAS): What is it?4, Share an Azure managed disk across VMs2.

The service that must be restarted after modifying the Java Keystore on the CVP servers is the Cisco CVP WebServicesManager. The Cisco CVP WebServicesManager is a service that provides web services for the CVP components, such as the Operations Console, the Reporting Server, and the Call Server. The Java Keystore is a file that stores the certificates and keys for secure communication between the CVP components and other systems. If the Java Keystore is modified, the Cisco CVP WebServicesManager service must be restarted to apply the changes and ensure the proper functioning of the web services12.

Security certificates are used to ensure that browser communication is secure by authenticating clients and servers on the web. There are two ways to deploy security certificates in CCE: Certificate Authority (CA) signed certificates and self-signed certificates1.

• CA signed certificates are certificates that are issued by a trusted third-party entity, such as VeriSign or Thawte, that validates the identity of the certificate owner. CA signed certificates are more secure and reliable than self-signed certificates, but they also require more time and money to obtain and maintain2.
• Self-signed certificates are certificates that are generated and signed by the certificate owner, without involving any third-party entity. Self-signed certificates are easier and cheaper to create and deploy, but they are less secure and trustworthy than CA signed certificates, as they can be easily forged or tampered with2.

CCE supports both CA signed certificates and self-signed certificates for securing the communication between different components, such as AW, CVP, Finesse, ECE, etc. However, some components may require additional steps or configurations to use CA signed certificates, such as importing the CA certificate into the AW machines, changing the Java truststore password, or binding the CA signed certificate in the Diagnostic Portico123.

The other options are not valid ways to deploy security certificates in CCE:

• Security Authority (SA) is not a term related to security certificates, but rather a role that is assigned to a user or a group in CCE to grant them access to certain security features, such as encryption, auditing, or IPsec1.
• 3rd party signed certificates are not a distinct category of security certificates, but rather a synonym for CA signed certificates, as they both involve a third-party entity that signs the certificates2.
• Digitally signed certificates are not a specific type of security certificates, but rather a general characteristic of all security certificates, as they all use digital signatures to verify the authenticity and integrity of the certificate data2.

The CLI command that manages the Java Keystore Certificate in Windows CCE servers is keytool. Keytool is a utility that is included in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and allows you to create, import, export, list, and delete certificates, keys, and keystores. A keystore is a repository of security certificates that can be used for SSL/TLS communication. The Java Keystore Certificate is the default keystore that is used by the Java applications running on the Windows CCE servers, such as the Web Setup tool, the Diagnostic Framework Portico, and the Unified Intelligence Center12. To use keytool, you need to open a command prompt window and navigate to the JRE bin directory, which is typically located at C:\Program Files\Java\jre\bin. Then, you can use the keytool command with various options and parameters to perform the desired operations on the Java Keystore Certificate34. References: Security Guide for Cisco Unified ICM/Contact Center Enterprise, Release 12.5 (1) and 12.5 (2)1, Implement CA Signed Certificates in a CCE 12.6 Solution2, SSL Certificate Installation - Java Based Web Servers - DigiCert3, Keytool - Oracle Help Center4.

n Contact Center Enterprise with Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal (CVP) and Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) deployment, CUBE must be configured as media pass flow-through mode. This means that CUBE will terminate and reoriginate both the signaling and media streams for each call leg. This allows CUBE to perform media manipulation, such as transcoding, transrating, DTMF interworking, and media forking. Media pass flow-through mode is required for CUBE to support advanced features for contact center, such as courtesy call back, contact center survivability, and encrypted (SRTP) trunks. Media pass flow-around mode, where CUBE only terminates and reoriginate the signaling stream and lets the media stream bypass CUBE, is not supported for contact center solutions. A voice gateway must not be dedicated for VXML browser sessions, as CUBE can coexist with VXML gateway on the same platform. Box-to-box CUBE can be used for redundancy, but it is not a mandatory configuration for contact center solutions123. References:

= A call is assigned to a call type in the PCCE system when a call-routing script hits the first Queue to Skill Group node. This is because the call type is determined by the script that is associated with the dialed number of the call. The script is selected based on the routing client and the dialed number. The first Queue to Skill Group node in the script marks the point where the call type is assigned to the call. The call type is used for reporting and categorizing the call. The other options are not correct because they do not affect the call type assignment. The call type is not changed when the call terminates, when the call is post-routed from CVP, or when the call is routed to an agent. References :=

The Single Pane of Glass (SPOG) is the web-based administrative interface that should be deployed to provide a unified and simplified view of the Unified CCE system, even though Unified CCE provides Configuration Manager as the legacy User Interface for administrators1. The SPOG is also known as the CCE Web Administration or the Unified CCE Administration console, and it allows administrators to configure and manage various Unified CCE features and settings, such as agents, attributes, precision queues, bucket intervals, media routing domains, license, bulk jobs, deployment type, system information, single sign-on, context service, and contact center AI23.

The other options are incorrect because:

• A: WebSetup is not a web-based administrative interface, but rather a tool that is used to install and configure the web setup components, such as the web setup database, the web setup service, and the web setup client, on the Unified CCE servers. WebSetup is used to perform initial configuration tasks, such as setting the deployment type, the instance name, the security mode, the license server, and the LDAP directory4.
• B: Contact Centre Management Portal (CCMP) is not a web-based administrative interface for Unified CCE, but rather a separate product that provides a web-based interface for managing Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) and Cisco Unified IP Interactive Voice Response (IP IVR) systems. CCMP allows administrators to perform tasks such as creating and modifying scripts, applications, triggers, teams, skills, and CSQs, as well as monitoring and reporting on the system performance and agent activity5.
• C: LDAP Plugin is not a web-based administrative interface, but rather a component that enables Unified CCE to integrate with an external LDAP directory, such as Microsoft Active Directory, for user authentication and authorization. LDAP Plugin allows Unified CCE to synchronize user data from the LDAP directory and assign roles and permissions to the users based on their LDAP group membership2.

To build VXML applications, you need to use the Call Studio development platform. Call Studio is an Eclipse-based graphical tool that allows you to create, edit, debug, and test voice applications that run on the VXML Server. Call Studio provides a drag-and-drop interface to design the call flow logic, define the prompts and grammars, and configure the application settings. Call Studio also supports custom elements, Java code, and web services integration to extend the functionality of the voice applications12. References: Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal Getting Started Guide, Release 12.5(1)1, Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal Developer Guide, Release 12.5(1)2.
