Glossary

Logged On

A state in which agents have made their presence known to the system,

but may or may not be ready to receive calls.

Logger

The process within the ICR that manages the central database. Each side

of a duplexed Central Controller i ncludes a Logger. The Logger may run

on the same machine as the CallRouter process or on a separate

machine.

Logical deletion

If a table includes a Deleted field, then records deleted from the table are

not removed from the database. Instead, the Deleted field is set to Y

(yes) to indicate that the record is logically deleted. The ICR tools treat

the record as though it were deleted. After an object is logically deleted,

you can choose to physically delete it (destroy permanently).

Logical interface controller

An entity that represents a single simplexed or a pair of duplexed

physical interface controllers. A physical interface controller is either a

Network Interface Controller (NIC) or a Peripheral Gateway (PG).

Longest Available Agent™ (LAA)

The agent that has been continuously in the Available state for the

longest time. The ICR can examine services or skill groups from

different peripherals and route a call to the service or group with the

longest available agent. (This feature is not supported on Rockwell

ACDs.)

Message Delivery Service (MDS)

The facilities used by ICR nodes to communicate with each other. The

MDS plays a key role in keeping duplexed components synchronized.

Mirroring

An arrangement by which changes to one storage device are

automatically written to a similar device. For example, you can set up a

disk as a mirror of another disk so that all writes to one disk are also

automatically written to the other. This allows for recovery from media

failure. Mirrored disks are an alternative to a RAID configuration.

Monitor ICR

A tool that allows you to monitor real-time and historical activity within

your enterprise. Monitor ICR allows you to build reports from templates

or view reports you have saved previously. You can also view events

generated by ICR processes.
