Installation Steps


  1. Install Docker and Docker Compose on the host operating system.
  2. Download the deployment script deployment.sh and place it in the user home or any desired directory. This script will:
    1. delete the recording-solution directory if it exists.

  3. To execute the script, give it the execute permissions and execute it. 

    $ chmod 755 deployment.sh
    $ ./deployment.sh

  4. change to newly created directory with name recording-solution. This directory contains all the required files.

  5. Run SQL script in SqlServer to create database and tables.  (recording-solution/db_schema_sqlserver.sql).
  6. Create an Application User in CUCM with Standard CTI Enabled Permission group. Add all devices that are supposed to be recording enabled to this user controlled devices list. This user will be used add JTAPI Observer to observe the call END events.

  7. Update the following environment variables in the files inside recording-solution/environment-variables folder.

    general-environment.env

    Name

    Description

    DB_URL

    VRS database connection URL

    jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://192.168.1.92:1433/vrs;user=sa;password=Expertflow464

    CC_TYPECisco Contact center type (UCCX or UCCE)
    TZTimezone (Asia/Karachi)
    ENCRYPTION_ENABLED

    To enable/disable recorded file encryption

    true = enabled

    false = disabled

    AMQ_PRIMARYPrimary ActiveMQ URL, (VRS machine IP)
    tcp://192.168.1.242:61616
    AMQ_SECONDARYSecondary ActiveMQ URL, Keep it same as primary if ActiveMQ not available in HA

    CUCM_APPLICATION_USER_PASSWORDCUCM Application user's password created in step 6.
    TIME_CUSHIONThe number of seconds to add to the start and end time of call when calling API from CIM. There are few seconds difference between CIM interaction's start and end time and recording solution start and end time since CIM fetch interactions from Finesse while recording solution gets time from CUCM 
    MAX_RING_TIMEMaximum Call ring time on agent desktop, default is 30 seconds
    CALL_TIMEOUTSocket timeout for recording rtp packets, set it to 10
    THREAD_TIMEInterval in seconds between two jobs that clears completed calls, set it 10
    ENCODED_FILE_EXTENSIONExtension to use with encryption file. It should be set to "enc"
    DIRECTORY_PATH_TO_MONITORThis and following 9 variables are used for the archival process. This variable will hold the path of the recording
    ARCHIVED_MEDIA_FILES_EXTENSIONThe archival process will archive recordings with this extension, set it to "wav"

    Used for UCCX deployment only...
    UCCX_URLUCCX URL, used for fetching agent details, 
    https://192.168.1.101
    UCCX_USERNAMEUCCX user,  should have privileges to fetch agents

  8. Execute following commands to allow specific port required for voice recording. 

    firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=5060/tcp
    firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=16384-18768/udp
    firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=16613-16617/tcp
    firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=8080-8081/tcp

    $  chmod 755 install.sh
    $ ./install.sh

  11. Run the following command to ensure that all the components are up and running: 

    docker ps -a

  12. Create a SIP trunk in Cisco Call Manager with recorder being VRS machine. Follow this steps to configure sip trunk. Seek help from Call Manager administrator if you don't know what this is.

Troubleshooting

  1. If calls are not recorded, check the following things
    1. Verify SIP events are logged in in core-recorder service when call is connected. If events are not logged then it means SIP trunk is not configured properly or recording is not enabled on device.
    2. If SIP events are logged but still no recordings, search for No RTP payload received error in recorder logs, if there are such error then check if Recording Media Source  is set to Phone Preferred  in phone settings on CUCM.
    3. Make sure Built-in Bridge is enabled on phones.
    4. Check for any errors in Mixer services logs, calls may be recorded but not properly mixed.
    5. if core-recorder and Mixer services logs are okay still not recordings on UI, check apis logs for any error
