Problem

Several SMDR records for a conference calls are mixed together and so the conference stats are inaccurate.  The problem is that it cannot keep updating the real time queue now monitor and getting accurate conference call reports after maintenance/manual summarize.

Symptoms

The Queue Now monitor does not update calls that have "C" conference tag in the SMDR record.

Example SMDR record:

07/23 13:09:17  0000:00:31 640     0011 P151 120 120              I 782            C T105                 1

Cause

The registry setting "ProcessConferenceRecordsInLifeCycle" is used to credit conference calls in the Life Cycle component based on the corresponding ACD records to get proper call duration for each devices involved in the conference call.  However, this logic requires to process all conference SMDR records after the call is fully completed and so it will not update the real time queue now monitor with the conference call.

Workaround

None.
