Hi Justin,

I just confirmed, there is no CAD update with the Mixed Mode COP file. The Release Notes will be modified accordingly to remove the typo and list the CAD version as .95, the same as that of 10.6(1) base.

Thank you,

Hi Justin,

The TAC engineer told you correctly based on the draft release notes we're currently reviewing. The problem is, I think the Release Notes are wrong :)

Stay tuned, I'll get back to you.

Hi Justin,

Can you send me the TAC case please? I'm curious to know why they told you it requires a CAD upgrade...

I opened up a TAC case to get early access to the COP file and found that the COP file makes modifications to CAD, which requires a CAD upgrade on all the clients.   That's really disappointing because the entire goal here is to move off of CAD.  Having to get all the desktop teams (4 desktop teams in this environment) to upgrade CAD another time, just to decommission CAD is really alot of wasted time and frustration.

TAC is checking with BU to see if there is anyway to avoid the CAD upgrade.

Hi Justin/all,

Hi Justin,

Allow me till Wednesday, I will have some confirmation on the exact dates although I can confirm that it right around the corner. BTW, I can help you get the cop file for your customer immediately because it is being given out on a per-customer basis – so the support can be given for your customer now if needed and you don’t have to wait for the announcement of the support.

Abhiram,

Is there any update on the COP file for official support for Finesse and CAD on the same CCX cluster?    The design guide still says not supported for running both CAD & Finesse.

Hi all,

The support for mixed-mode is expected to be announced in the coming ways. It will be starting with 10.6 and the support can be claimed by installing a COP file. The details will come out soon, but in summary it will be in 10.6. Also, there will be a white-paper released regarding the migration plan and best practices. Some of the things that come to my mind straight away are:

  *   Voice is supported on mixed mode – you can have some teams on either CAD or Finesse handling calls
  *   Chat and email agents have to be migrated completely onto Finesse
  *   CAD supervisors only to monitor CAD teams and so on for Finesse
  *   1 team = 1 type of agent desktop

There are some limitations too and they will be in the document which will be published. However, if you can think about any scenario you would like to discuss and get some feedback – please feel free to reach out to me. Or you can put it out here in the forum, Ryan or myself can brainstorm with you.

Both can be activated but it is a requirement that a team be on CAD or Finesse. Essentially giving a 'Team' based migration approach from CAD to Finesse.

Thanks for everyone's help on this, especially the Cisco folk who are going back to check for docs and publishing dates, etc.

I'm glad I posted this and started the conversation.

Mike, this has been discussed previously, where is this documented?  Per the 10.6 documentation, it is not supported for concurrent use.

Just a FYI…10.6 will be your CAD to Finesse migration platform. It is the only supported co-resident version available for CAD & Finesse to be activated at the same time.

"Does that mean Finesse is the way to go?"



Yes.  And CUIC is the way to go for reporting.  In fact, if you have not yet deployed a UCCX 10.5, then you may not know HRC already went away.

Nice – thanks for the heads up.  I knew it was coming, I like the note below from the EOL:



In addition to the SKUs listed in this notification, the same End of Software Maintenance and End of Support milestones will apply to the Cisco Agent Desktop (CAD), Cisco Supervisor Desktop (CSD) and Cisco Desktop Administrator (CDA) features on CCX 10.0, 10.5 and 10.6.
