What's New

  • Genesys Web Services and Application support Elasticsearch 7.17+ and 8.8+ now. In case of ES 8, an additional configuration option must be set for GWS Datacollector service: GWS_DATACOLLECTOR_elasticsearch_connection_es8compatibilityMode=true . (GAPI-38855)

  • Genesys Web Service and Application now supports Redis 7.2. To use Redis ACL, a new configuration option was introduced to specify account name:GWS_REDIS_USERNAME (GAPI-38200)

Security Fixes

  • This release includes multiple security updates for system and application libraries, and modules (SpringBoot 3.3, SpringFramework 6.1 and Jetty 12). (GAPI-37646)

  • Genesys Web Services and Applications (GWS) contain security enhancements introduced by SpringSecurity 6 and CometD 8 which imposes some restrictions and compatibility issues to APIs clients. Genesys strongly recommends to upgrade CXContact along with GWS to maintain security and cross-service compatibility. If CXContact cannot be upgraded for some reasons, GWS provides a backward compatibility mode with downgraded security to support old clients (like CXContact). To enable backward compatibility mode, the following environment variable should be set for all GWS services: GWS_SECURITY_DISABLE_SESSION_VALIDATION=true. (GAPI-39007)

May 31, 2024PrivateEdition.png

Resolved Issues

  • The memory leak issue is fixed in 9.0.000.85.1257 for Voice service and 9.0.000.62.1836 for IXN. (GAPI-38558)

April 26, 2024PrivateEdition.png

What's New

  • This release includes multiple security updates for system and application libraries, and modules.

December 22, 2023PrivateEdition.png

What's New

  • This release includes multiple security updates for system and application libraries, and modules. (GAPI-37217, GAPI-37966, GAPI-38060, GAPI-38122)

  • Supports topology spread constraints from Kubernetes. (GAPI-37945)
    More info: Configure GWS Services

  • Agent Setup and Workspace Web Edition are no longer delivered in GWS package. (GAPI-37930)

  • GWS Helm Chart has been redesigned to replace gws-system-nginx container by Nginx ingress controller annotations. (GAPI-36867)
    More info: Configure GWS Ingress

May 25, 2023PrivateEdition.png

Resolved Issues

  • The GWS Workspace service now tries to rejoin the Chat session multiple times (up to 5 attempts with 10s delay between each attempt). Previously, the GWS Workspace service didn’t try to rejoin the chat session in case of No such session error from Chat Server. (GAPI-37294)

  • API clients are now cleaned up and unregistered from Interaction Server after they got inactive and disconnected by timeout. (GAPI-35068)

  • The Provisioning API's bulk import now supports a dedicated Use WebRTC column to control corresponding settings for each Agent. (GAPI-32066)

  • Agents can now view all chats in applications that rely on Workspace API including Workspace Web Agent Desktop or custom applications. Previously, agents could not view some chat messages due to incorrect delivery of events from Interaction Server. (GAPI-36444)

Known Issues

  • Agents might not be able to login to all digital media channels (chat, email, workitem, and so on.) in Interaction Server, when GWS Interaction Service is connected to multiple Interaction Servers through the Interaction Server Proxy or the cluster of Interaction Server Proxies. This scenario is common when separate Interaction Servers are deployed for different media channels.
    Workaround: Set the Stat Server option suppress-agent-status-updates-for-ixn-server to true for all Stat Servers (both reporting and routing). This will prevent Stat Server from triggering the distribution of the EventCurrentAgentStatus event by Interaction Servers after an agent is logged in. Before applying the workaround, ensure that there are no custom applications using this event. Note that this event is not used by any Genesys application. (GAPI-37462)

For private edition

  • Updated the third-party dependencies as part of an ongoing security best practice. (GAPI-37347)

  • Workspace Web Edition now uploads attachments with the MSG file extension for emails. To configure this feature, set the value of the file-type.extension-definition.cfb option to doc,docx,ppt,pptx,xls,xlsx,msg and ensure that the value msg is included in the list of allowed file extensions in the attachment.restrict-to-file-types option, both in the workspace-service section. (GAPI-37300)

  • Improved delivering of unsolicited events from Interaction Server. Previously, some events might not be delivered to Digital Channels by Interaction Server, which would prevent proper chat termination. (GAPI-36904)

    More info: Genesys services parameters

  • Web Services and Applications now uses annotations instead of Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) for metrics scraping. The gws-monitoring Helm chart, which creates the CRDs, will be removed from Web Services and Applications in a future release. (GAPI-33420)

  • This release includes third-party dependency updates to maintain security and reliability.

April 13, 2022PrivateEdition.png

For private edition

  • Secure connections are now supported from containerized Genesys Web Services and Applications to non-containerized Configuration Server, Interaction Server, SIP Server/T-Server, Universal Contact Server, Real-Time Metrics Engine (Stat Server), Chat Server, and Outbound Contact Server. As part of this feature, Genesys Web Services and Applications includes two new services: GWS UCS Service and GWS Chat Service. (GAPI-23935)
    More info: Configure connections with TLS and authentication

April 07, 2022PrivateEdition.png

For private edition

  • Secure connections with optional authentication are now supported from containerized Genesys Web Services and Applications to PostgreSQL, Redis, and Elasticsearch. (GAPI-30907 and GAPI-33057)
    More info: Configure connections with TLS and authentication

March 21, 2022PrivateEdition.png

For private edition

  • Genesys Web Services and Applications now requires Elasticsearch 7.17+. You must upgrade your Elasticsearch clusters to version 7.17+ before upgrading to this release.

February 01, 2022PrivateEdition.png

For private edition

  • Support for deploying Genesys Web Services and Applications in a single namespace with other private edition services has been implemented. No configuration changes are required to enable this alternative deployment scenario, but you must disable internal ingress to avoid roundtrip traffic outside the single namespace. To disable internal ingress, set entryPoints.internal.ingress.enabled to false. (GAPI-30852)
    More info: Configure GWS Ingress

  • To enhance container security, Genesys Web Services and Applications container images are now built on Red Hat Universal Base Image 8 (UBI8). (GAPI-28354)

November 16, 2021PrivateEdition.png

For private edition

  • This release includes important security upgrades made to third-party software. (GAPI-30693)

September 17, 2021PrivateEdition.png

For private edition

  • Genesys Web Services and Applications now supports the use of arbitrary, or random, user IDs (UIDs) in OpenShift.

    • The securityContext settings exposed in the default values.yaml file specify the user and group IDs for the genesys user (500:500:500). You must override these Helm chart values if you want OpenShift to use arbitrary UIDs. For more information, see Configure Genesys Web Services and Applications.
    • Genesys Web Services and Applications is deployed using ServiceAccounts that use the restricted Security Context Constraint (SCC). In an earlier implementation, Genesys required you to deploy all private edition services using a ServiceAccount associated with the custom genesys-restricted SCC, to control permissions for the genesys user (500). Genesys now expects OpenShift to use arbitrary UIDs in your deployment, and the genesys-restricted SCC has been deprecated. If you previously deployed Genesys Web Services and Applications using the genesys-restricted SCC, Genesys recommends that you redeploy Genesys Web Services and Applications so that you use arbitrary UIDs. (GAPI-30097)

  • As of October 29, 2021, Genesys Web Services and Applications supports deployments on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) in Genesys Multicloud CX private edition, as part of the Early Adopter Program. (CPE-1958)

June 30, 2021PrivateEdition.png

For private edition

  • Starting with this release, Genesys Web Services and Applications is available for select customers in Genesys Multicloud CX private edition, as part of the Early Adopter Program. Deployments on OpenShift Container Platform (OpenShift) are supported. (GAPI-26709)
