ASAI Administration

The non-voice script that is assigned to a domain is started on the virtual channel when you use the ENABLE key in the Domain Administration screen to place the domain into service (inserv). Note that if the domain changes from inserv to any other state, the non-voice response script running on the virtual channel is aborted.

NOTE:

As traffic increases on any one domain, the ASAI process spawns the assigned data-only script to accommodate the increased load.

Virtual channels are assigned a range of channel numbers above the maximum number of regular channels allocated on the system and activity on these chan- nels is displayed in the Voice Channel Monitor screen. Following is a discussion of the fields in this screen as they relate to virtual channels used by the ASAI application. Refer to Chapter 6, “System Monitor” of the CONVERSANT Voice Information System Operations for additional information.

The “Channel” field lists the existing channels on the VIS. “Virtual channels” have the character ‘v’ appended to the channel number in this field. In Figure 4-7 voice.vir.ps] channels 4 and 5 are virtual channels.

The “Calls Today” field provides data on the number of calls made to a particular channel within the system. Calls are monitored for a 24-hour period, on any day beginning at midnight (12 a.m.). For virtual channels, the value in this field is the number of times the channel was used to run a data-only script. In Figure 4-7channels 4 and 5 are running the virtual1 and virtual2 data-only scripts, respec- tively.

The “Voice Service” field provides the name of the service currently running on the corresponding voice channel. In Figure 4-7channel 4 is running the virtual1 service and channel 5 is running the virtual2 service. For virtual channels, this field is blank when no script is running.

The “Service Status” field lists the various status states of each channel in the VIS. The Service Status field is blank for virtual channels except when a script with a Data Interface Process (DIP) is running, in which case this field indicates the name of the DIP.

The “Caller Input” field provides the last set of digits entered by the caller. The Caller Input field is always blank for virtual channels.

The “Dialed Digits” field provides the last set of digits dialed by the VIS during the transfer process. The Dialed Digits field is always blank for virtual channels.
