If you are installing Connect for the first time, you do not need to perform any extra tasks. You can proceed with installing Connect and configuring your installation. For information about installing and configuring Connect, see Installing the latest version of Connect and Configuring Connect.

Before upgrading

Expand
titleBefore upgrading

Before upgrading your installation to the latest version of Connect, perform the following task:

Maintain your Salesforce Recycle Bin

If your Salesforce Recycle Bin contains a large amount of data, then it may prevent dynamic Dial List from being automatically upgraded and can also prevent Connect from functioning correctly.

Please therefore check the size of your Salesforce Recycle Bin and empty it if it has a large amount of data. Note that it can take Salesforce up to 24 hours to empty the recycle bin.

titleI have customizations in my Salesforce org

If you have had any customization or development work done in your org, such as Salesforce processes, process steps or Apex code, then you must ensure that the upgrade will not affect or break these customization.

What should I do?

Consult your Salesforce administrator, integration partner or developer and check that they have read through the upgrade documentation and have understood that you will be removing some processes and scheduled jobs from your org.

You will be removing any Salesforce processes used to automatically refresh dial lists. For information about Salesforce processes, see Salesforce help. If you have steps in those processes that do work other than refreshing the dial lists, then you must leave those steps in place.

If you had any Apex code or other customization that use the Connect package, then you must check that these still work after upgrading.

Make sure to apply best practices such as testing thoroughly in a full copy sandbox org before changing your production environment.

When you have made sure that you are safe to install, follow the instructions in any other section or sections that apply to your current installation and configuration.

If you are using a version of Connect earlier than 16.118.1, you must upgrade to version 16.118.1 of Connect.

After upgrading your installation to version 16.118.1 of Connect, perform the following tasks:

Check that Dial Lists were successfully upgraded

During the upgrade to Connect, existing dynamic dial lists are converted to use the new dynamic dial list functionality. To check that Dial Lists were upgraded successfully, check that the following conditions are true:

  • Existing static lists created from report, list view or CSV upload are unchanged. The Prevent Refresh check box is selected. Call records created before the upgrade are replaced with Pending, Active and Processed Dial Entries as appropriate.
  • Existing dynamic lists are changed. The Prevent Refresh check box is cleared and any calls that were not started, skipped or completed are removed. Any calls that were started are replaced with Active Dial Entries and completed or skipped calls are replaced with Processed Dial Entries.

Remove the refresh list button

The Refresh List button is no longer required. For information about removing the button, see Removing the dial list refresh button.

After upgrading to version 18.223, you must perform the following tasks:

A. Check that data migration jobs have completed

Note

If you attempt to upgrade without following these steps, your upgrade will fail with the following message: The post-install script failed.

Upgrading to version 18.223 of Connect triggers two batch jobs that migrate Connect data from old fields to new fields. Locate these jobs—represented by Apex classes DialListAgentLookupMigration and DialListAssignedAgentsMigration—in the Apex Jobs section of Salesforce Setup. Check that the statuses of these jobs are both Completed.

Check migration jobsImage Added

Note

If the migration jobs have failed, contact Vonage Contact Center support for help.

B. Upgrade to the latest version of Connect

. After upgrading, to enable Dial Lists of Campaign Member type, add Campaign Member as a Dial List type. For information about adding Dial List types, see Configuring available Dial List types

After upgrading to the latest version, you must perform the following tasks:

C. Remove old fields

Upgrading to 18.223 migrates data from old fields to new fields to enhance the performance and stability of Connect. You must delete and erase the old fields to benefit from these enhancements. To delete and erase the fields, using Salesforce Classic, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to Objects (in Salesforce Classic) in Setup in Salesforce.
  2. In the list of objects, click Dial List. Dial List appears.

  3. In Custom Fields & Relationships, delete the following fields.

    Info

    Not all fields may exist in your org, or you may not be able to delete them. If the field does not exist, or you cannot delete it, skip to the next field in the list.

  4. Go to the end of the fields list and click Deleted Fields. Alongside all the fields you deleted in step 3, click Erase.

    Note

    You must perform this step and Erase all the fields that you deleted. Failure to do this may result in record locking issues when using Connect.


  5. Repeat steps for the Dial List (Deprecated) (NVMConnect__DialList__c) field in the Dial List Agent object.

    Note

    You must remember to Erase this field on the Dial List Agent object. Failure to do this may result in record locking issues when using Connect.
