Last night I upgraded a cluster, cant remember which version (SVN) it was before the upgrade, but it was a version from early this year.
I made tests on all servers as usual, but this morning was HELL !!!! A flood of tickets reporting "agents can't make calls", "System is not working", "Vicidial is broken"... dozen of tickets
I tested again every server on the cluster and everything was working... i was really scratching my head but I breath, keep calm and verify by my self with an agents the error they were getting.
It turns, that they are on an Automatic Campaign (RATIO) but they get bored when contact is low, so they use to use MANUAL DIAL and click DIAL with an empty phone and apparently on the previous version Vicidial dialed a random number from the hopper. On the most recent version, now that is not allowed, now if they click dial on an empty number they received "You must enter a phone number to use manual dial"
That seems obvious to me that a phone number was required to manual dial, but not for the reps
Now we had to change campaigns to INBOUND_MANUAL because they used to dial ALL THEIR CALLS using the empty phone number method they invented. I wonder how on earth an exploit of a bug became standard process among 120 users...Anyway, I just wanted to share my frustration
