This is the third in a series of articles I've written on integrating Genesys with SIP UUI. Part 1 discussed the development of a UUI parsing web service. Part 2 discussed how to invoke that web service from a Genesys routing strategy developed with IRD. This last article will bring all the concepts together with an end-to-end example of extracting and depositing data to/from the UUI header with a Genesys routing strategy.
Environmentals
I'm using a Cisco router along with Genesys SIP Server (SIPS) for the SIP traffic. In this previous article, I discussed the Cisco IOS VoIP trust list configuration necessary to integrate a Cisco router and Genesys SIPS.
In addition to the trust list, I'm going to need to do some hacking on the router to simulate a carrier bringing SIP UUI to Genesys via an IP trunk. To do this, I'll utilize the Session Border Controller process on the router, aka Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE). Specifically, I need to artificially insert the 'User-to-User' header into the SIP INVITE sent to Genesys SIPS.
SIP headers can be modified easily in CUBE using sip-profile commands. Unfortunately, the headers available for modification don't include the one I need - 'User-to-User'. I suppose the reason for that is UUI isn't a standard, as of yet. However, with some simple configuration we can hijack one of the headers that is supported by CUBE to get the UUI header inserted. Below is the configuration to do just that with the Warning header. The command below replaces the Warning header with a UUI-formatted data item.
voice class sip-profiles 300
request INVITE sip-header Warning add "User-to-User:656e676c697368;encoding=hex"
dial-peer voice 30 voip
destination-pattern 5000
session protocol sipv2
session target ipv4:192.168.1.69
voice-class sip profiles 300
codec g711ulaw
On the Genesys side, I made modifications to the SIPS application object to cause it to intercept the SIP 'User-to-User' header and insert it into the Genesys TLib message stream. Figures 1 and 2 below depict the modifications I made to enable this SIP to TLib mapping.
Routing Strategy
Figure 3 is the routing strategy I used for this testing. It is highly contrived (low to no production reality) and rigged to exercise the full Genesys SIP UUI functionality in a minimum of steps.
Execution
Below are excerpts of the various logs during the strategy execution.

Routing Strategy
Figure 3 is the routing strategy I used for this testing. It is highly contrived (low to no production reality) and rigged to exercise the full Genesys SIP UUI functionality in a minimum of steps.
- Figure 4 is the Assign object used to assign the 'User-to-User' data item to script local variable. The 'User-to-User' item was set via SIPS extracting that header item from the INVITE (SIP to TLib).
- I then call the Decoder web service to convert the hex-encoded data from the header to ASCII.
- A script List object is used to extract the first item from the resulting array returned by the web service object and assign it to a local variable. The original 'User-to-User' item is also detached from the call.
- The Attach object then attaches that variable to the call (Figure 5).
- The next Web Service object (Figure 6) sets up a TLib to SIP mapping. I'm hex encoding the string 'gold' and then assigning the result to the local array variable named 'callTypeList' (Figure 7).
- In Figure 8, three different function calls are being made. The first establishes a 'User-to-User' header for the outgoing SIP INVITE. This is the actual TLib to SIP mapping function. The second function extracts the first value from the encode web service result array to a local variable. The third function assigns the value of that local variable to that newly established 'User-to-User' header item.
- Finally, I route segment the call to a target that has a skill match with the initial UUI item. That item was a language skill selection ('english' in this example). Figure 9
