Hi There,
No problem about the reply, thats what the forum is for !
Judging by your reply, you appear to have a NICE Universe 8.x series system. We also have NICE universe 8.5 so I know quite a lot about this system, however I am not familiar with splitting the channels into Scheduled Recording, ROD and Monitoring (playback?).
I think I know whats happening though. When using the ROD function, are you getting an error that says "The Agent Recorder disconnected" or something LIKE that ? I can't remember the exact error off hand, but its something like that. If this IS the error you are receiving this, I believe, is due to multiple service observations on the same station/extension.
When doing ROD's, you need to make sure that the Scheduler is not trying to record the same call. If the scheduler is trying to record the same call the ROD will be cancelled, however the call WILL still be recorded. To find the call go into NICE Evaluator and search for calls where the Initiator is marked "QA,ROD".
If you also have the Screen Capture function, it's possible that the calls are being dropped due to no screen capture being available. If this is happening, make sure the "NT_REC.exe" process on the Agent's workstation is installed, loading and functioning correctly. Also, make sure the correct Extension and IP Address (NICE Screen Logger) are specified in the c:\tb2\agent.ini file on the agents workstation. This path is the generic install path for the NICE Screen Agent software, however you MAY have it installed elsewhere.
We also had a problem which related to network routing, it appeared that some types of Cisco routers do not handle the protocol that the screen agent software uses and the workstations could not connect to the Screen Logger - thus no screen capture was being recorded.
As for retreiving calls from DAT.... Go into NICE Query and run a search on the Calls you want to retrieve. If the calls have been archived, no results will be returned. In the channels section of the search criteria, check the "Query Media Library" option and run the search again. The calls should be shown, however they will have media icons next to them rather than Hard Disk icons.
Highlight all of the results you wish to retrieve, right click on one of them and click on Retrieve. You will be prompted to Insert one or more DAT's. If more than one DAT is required, make sure you click on "Eject Media when Retrieval Completed" until you are prompted to insert all of the DAT(s) into the logger.
The on screen instructions will automatically allocate a DAT drive for the tapes to be loaded into and it will also automatically change the drive's function to retrieval. If the allocated drive is archiving a tape, the archiving will be suspended and the tape ejected.
Hope this helps. Regards,
