About this Guide
Where a symptom indicates a problem with Reporting for Contact Center this guide, which is
divided into appropriately named chapters, enables the user to quickly refer to a particular
section. For instance, if the user sees an issue on the Web Host PC, the reader can go directly to
the
Web Host PC Troubleshooting chapter, and look up the relevant topic to troubleshoot.
Alternatively, the user can troubleshoot a problem encountered in Reporting for Contact Center
by using flow charts. These are provided in the Flow Charts chapter, beginning on page 13. The
flow charts cover several areas of Reporting for Contact Center from the installation and
connection of Reporting for Contact Center to print schedules for reports.
If a problem can not be resolved in this guide, the user is advised to consult Nortel Technical
Support – this will be referred to as Nortel Support in the rest of this docum ent. The following
section, How to get Help, provides information on how to get help from Nortel for either
Reporting for Contact Center issues, or issues with the Contact Center.

Flow Charts

Introduction
The flow charts enable the user to troubleshoot problems encountered in Reporting for Contact
Center. There are seven flow charts covering areas from installation of Reporting for Contact
Center to print schedules of reports. The user is advised to go to the relevant flow chart in the
area of Reporting for Contact Center where a problem has arisen. The flow charts are as follows:
1. Installing Reporting for Contact Center
2. Contact Center Connection
3. Historical Reports
4. Real Time Screens
5. Software Wallboard
6. Hardware Wallboard
7. Print Schedules
Questions raised and action items to be performed in a flow chart are explained in additional help
provided directly after the flow chart. A key to the flow charts is provided, see the following
section Key to the flow charts, which explains what the different shapes and colors represent, as
well as what some of the content mean.
Key to the flow charts
Diamonds
These shapes are questions; they have either a Yes or No answer. Depending on the answer you
will be redirected to an additional step:
No is represented with a red arrow
Yes is represented with a blue arrow
The yellow background indicates that there is more help available in this document for that
question; this will be displayed directly below the relevant flow chart, as in the following:

Q) Is IIS Installed?

Rectangles
These shapes are action items. You must perform the action detailed in this step. Black arrows
direct you to the next step to take from here.
The yellow background indicates that there is more help available in this document for that
action item; this will be displayed directly below the relevant flow chart, as follows:

[Answer will be displayed here]
Rectangular action items with a green background indicate an important step in the flow chart. A
rectangular action item with a blue background indicates that part of the flow chart is continued
on another flow chart as specified in the step.
Ovals
These oval shapes are either the start point of a flow chart which will also be colored green, or a
terminating action in the flow chart. Terminating actions require you to consult further with
Nortel regarding the current problem. For more information on getting help, see How to get Help
(page 11).
The terminating actions display either Consult Nortel (RCC) or, Consult Nortel (CC),
indicating whether the Reporting for Contact Center (RCC) component or the Contact Center
(CC) requires the initial focus of consultation with Nortel Support.
If you suspect a problem with RCC, collect the RCC logs. If you suspect a problem with the
BCM, collect the BCM logs. If you are unsure whether the problem originates on the BCM or
the RCC, collect logs from both.
Note: Various diagnostic logs are always running when Nortel Reporting for Contact
Center is operational. The Logging Menu allows you to Archive the current log files
and download any previously archived log files.
NN40040-400
Flow Charts 15
To Archive the current log files click the Archive Logs button. This will create a
single .zip archive file of the current log files. A new entry will appear in the list of
archived files table, following the Log files location on the Logging Menu page.
Recently created log file archives are indicated by a yellow star. To stamp the Real
Time log click the Stamp Real Time Log button. This will stamp the Real Time log
constantly for 15 seconds. As the Real Time log can be quite large this option is useful
for tracking down a problem to a specific time. Clicking the Stamp Real Time Log
button will disable the button for 15 seconds. Stamping cannot be initiated again in
this time until 15 seconds have passed. After this time has elapsed the button will be
enabled. To download a log file archive click the Download Logs button next to the
desired archive and save it to a location on your computer.
Note: The maximum number of archives you can create is 5. When a 6
th
archive is
created it will automatically delete the oldest archive. The file naming convention
includes (in the same order) the year, month, day, hour, minute and second that the
archive was created, this can be used to determine how old the log file archive is. To
view the contents of the archive you will need to have either WinZip, WinRAR or any
other compatible zip file viewer installed. The default compressed folder viewer that
comes with Windows XP and above will not work with these archives.
For the ipView SoftBoard, logging is activated by echoing to the loop back IP address
of 127.0.0.1. The log file is stored in the installation folder of the SoftBoard.
To retrieve logs of a hardware wallboard, set up an ipView SoftBoard to echo to the
hardware wallboard. Again, echo the SoftBoard to the loop back IP Address
(127.0.0.1) to activate logging of the hardware wallboard. The wallboard log file can
be retrieved from the installation folder of the SoftBoard.
