I think this will help. I have symposium so I haven't done Switch Advanced ACD in a long time....


ACD Call Waiting Thresholds (Advanced)

The Automatic Call Distribution Call Waiting Thresholds (ACDCWT)
enhancement allows ACD Calls Waiting Threshold (CWTH), Busy
Threshold (BYTH), and Overflow Threshold (OVTH) to be defined as a
percentage based on the number of calls waiting in queue and the number of
manned (logged in, not in Make Set Busy or Not Ready state) agent positions,
rather than as a fixed number of calls.

When the number of ACD calls waiting exceeds a specified threshold,
subsequent calls to that ACD DN (the source queue) can be diverted to
another ACD DN (the target queue).

Three thresholds must be specified for the calls waiting in each ACD DN
queue. The operating range boundaries defined by the thresholds are as
follows: light, normal, busy, and overloaded. The three thresholds operating
range are:

Calls Waiting Threshold (CWTH)Upper limit of the light range
Busy Threshold (BYTH)Upper limit of the normal range
Overflow Threshold (OVTH)Upper limit of the busy range

Whether the ACD Call Waiting Threshold, Busy Threshold, and Overflow
Threshold are defined as a percentage or number of calls is determined on a
customer basis by responding to the OPT (option) prompt in Overlay 15. The
allowable ACDCWT responses to the OPT prompt are THPD (Threshold
Percentage Denied) and THPA (Threshold Percentage Allowed). THPD is
the default.

The following is an example of the CWTH, BYTH and OVTH being reached
if the THPA option is selected:

If all ACD positions are unmanned or out-of-service, any call in the waiting
queue is treated as if OVTH has been exceeded (i.e., the call goes to
overflow).

An agent in Not Ready status is treated as unmanned when the ACD queue
thresholds are calculated.

Number of calls required in queue to reach
threshold
-------------CWTH = 100% | BYTH = 150% | OVTH = 200%
2 manned ACD | 2 | 3 | 4
positions

4 manned ACD | 4 | 6 | 8
positions


Feature implementation

LD 15 -- The Customer Data Block service change accepts the options THPD
and THPA to be defined as a customer option. The usage of the CWTH,
BYTH, and OVTH thresholds is defined by the option selected. To allow the
thresholds to be defined as percentages respond to the OPT prompt with
THPA. To allow the thresholds to be defined as number of calls respond to
the OPT prompt with THPD. THPD is the default.

LD 21 -- When the Customer Data Block is printed the THPA or THPD
option is included in the printout.

Chas- Did you ever get this resolved? If not, just a couple of questions.
1. What is 42576? If not an ACDDN can't overflow.
2. If it is an ACDDN what is the byth set at in 42576. If 0 it won't accept overflow.

Maybe this will help some.
Luck

Sorry for the late reply but I have been off.
I have 25.40 in a Opt. 11 and THPA OR THPD do not print out when I print out my CDB in LD 21. Any thoughts? Tried putting it in OPT but I get a SCH8809 error? Which is not in the NTP's.

Help Mr. Wizard

Found out what the problem was. The Callpilot number is a CDN, and you can't overflow to a CDN. So I took out the OVDN entry and made an interflow entry (IFDN) to the Call pilot number and set AENI to yes for automatic and it works great. So life is beautiful again. :wink:
