Reporting · Utilize CUIC customization report
A reporting analyst needs to create a custom CUIC report that displays the average handle time for calls that were routed through a specific Precision Queue. The stock reports do not contain Precision Queue data. What is the most critical first step to make this data available for custom reporting?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
By default, the ID of the Precision Queue a call is routed to is not stored in the historical reporting database tables. To capture this information for reporting, the routing script must be modified. Before the
Queue to Precision Queuenode, aSet Variablenode should be used to copy the Precision Queue's ID (or name) into a free Peripheral Variable. This variable's data is then automatically written to the Route_Call_Detail table, making it available for custom SQL queries in CUIC. - Question 2Beginner
Overview · Understand architecture and components
True or False: In a Packaged CCE deployment, the CVP VXML Server component can be deployed on the same virtual machine as the CVP Call Server.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
In Packaged CCE deployments, especially in smaller models, it is a supported and common configuration to co-locate the CVP Call Server and the CVP VXML Server (which includes the Cisco VVB) on the same virtual machine. This simplifies the deployment architecture and reduces the number of required VMs.

Advanced Scripting and Data Exchange · Describe Call Studio Scripting
A Call Studio application is designed to collect a 6-digit account number from a caller. During testing, it is found that background noise is causing the ASR engine to frequently return incorrect values or no-match events. Which property of the voice element should be adjusted first to make the recognition more resilient to background noise?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
The Confidence Level property sets the threshold (typically from 0 to 1) that the ASR engine must meet for a recognition to be considered a successful match. In a noisy environment, the ASR engine's confidence in its matches will be lower. By slightly lowering the required confidence level (e.g., from 0.7 to 0.6), the application can accept matches that it might have otherwise rejected, making it more resilient to noise. Sensitivity is for barge-in, and timeout settings handle caller silence, not recognition quality.

Advanced Configuration · Implement mobile agents
When configuring a Mobile Agent in Nailed Connection mode, what is the primary purpose of the CTI Port configuration in CUCM?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
In a Nailed Connection, the CTI Port serves as the anchor point or media termination point within the CUCM for the agent's leg of the call. CCE routes the customer call to the agent's virtual extension, which is associated with this CTI Port. CUCM then extends the call from this CTI Port out to the agent's actual remote phone number (e.g., their mobile phone). This allows CCE to maintain call control via CTI, even though the agent's physical endpoint is outside the enterprise network.

Reporting · Utilize CUIC administration and operations console
A CUIC administrator has been asked to restrict a supervisor's access so they can only run reports, but not view, edit, or create report definitions or data sources. Which two stock CUIC security roles should be assigned to this supervisor? (Select TWO)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answers: C, E
The Report Viewer role grants the fundamental permission to execute and view reports for which the user has been given access.
The Login User role is the base role required for any user to log in to the CUIC reporting interface. It provides no specific reporting capabilities on its own but is a prerequisite for other roles.

Advanced Configuration · Implement PCS
A company wants to use Precision Routing to route calls based on the caller's spoken language and the product they are calling about. The language is identified by a CVP IVR, and the product is identified by the dialed number. An agent's language proficiency is stored in an Active Directory attribute. How should these three pieces of information be configured in PCCE?
graph TD A[Caller] -->|Speaks Spanish| B(CVP IVR) B -->|Sets ECC Variable: user.language=Spanish| C{CCE Router} D[Dialed Number for 'Product A'] --> C E[Agent Profile in AD] -->|Attribute: Language=Spanish| F(PG) F --> C C -->|Matches Attributes| G(Agent)Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
This is the correct design for Precision Routing. Call-specific requirements (language, product) are defined as call attributes. The caller's language, determined by the IVR and passed in an ECC variable, maps to one attribute. The product, determined by the Dialed Number, maps to another. The agent's skill (language proficiency) is defined as an agent attribute, which can be synchronized from Active Directory. The routing engine then matches the call attributes to the agent attributes.

Advanced Scripting and Data Exchange · Understand CCE Data Exchange
What is the function of the
user.microapp.ToExtVXML[]ECC variable when using aSend to VRUnode in a CCE script?Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The
user.microapp.ToExtVXML[]array variable is used to pass the URL of a specific VXML script (typically a Call Studio application) to the CVP. When theSend to VRUnode executes, CVP reads this variable to know which application to invoke for IVR treatment, overriding any default applications. This allows for dynamic selection of IVR scripts based on routing logic. - Question 8Beginner
Overview · Describe PCCE access
A PCCE system is configured with two data centers. An administrator needs to access the system for configuration changes. Which tool provides a single, unified interface for configuring components across both data centers (Side A and Side B)?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
The Cisco Unified CCE Web Administration tool, accessed via a web browser, is the primary interface for configuring a PCCE deployment. It connects to the AW/HDS/DDS server and provides a consolidated view for managing objects like agents, skill groups, and call types. Configurations made here are automatically synchronized to both Side A and Side B Loggers, ensuring consistency across the redundant system.
- Question 9Advanced
CUCM Initiated Call Flows · Understand transfer types
A contact center agent performs a consultative transfer to another agent. From a reporting perspective, how is this interaction typically represented in the CCE database tables like
Termination_Call_Detail?Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
A consultative transfer involves two distinct call handling segments. The first agent handles the call, and then the second agent handles it after the transfer. CCE reporting logs this as two separate TCD records. Each record details the metrics (talk time, hold time, etc.) for one of the agents. These two records are linked together by a common
RouterCallKey(and sequence number), which allows reporting applications to reconstruct the full lifecycle of the original customer call. - Question 10Beginner
Tools · Implement Bulk import tool
An administrator fails to run the Bulk Import tool using the 'Run as Administrator' option on the Windows Server where the AW is hosted. The import process fails immediately with a permissions error. Which specific underlying technology is causing this failure?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Windows User Account Control (UAC) is a security feature that prevents unauthorized changes to the operating system. Even if logged in as an administrator, applications run with standard user privileges by default. The Bulk Import tool needs to access system resources and the SQL database with elevated privileges. 'Run as Administrator' explicitly elevates the application's token, bypassing UAC restrictions and allowing it to execute correctly.
