Deployment Guide
Gadget Deployment Planning
The call transfer gadget has two components.
Solution Components | Description |
Call Transfer Application | This is Java-based Web application that requires Apache Tomcat |
Finesse Gadget | A finesse gadget that renders call transfer application frontend inside Cisco Finesse. |
Prerequisites
The following are the mandatory prerequisites for a gadget installation.
Hardware Requirements
These requirements suffice for deployment with 300 agents or less.
Item | Recommended | Notes |
CPU | 2 vCPU | Can be co-hosted |
Memory | 4 GB | |
Disk Space | 30 GB | The minimum disk space requirement is 5 GB. The recommendation is to account for transactional storage and logs. |
The gadget can be co-hosted with other Expertflow or third party products.
Redundancy is only supported on the Cisco Finesse side, i.e., a single call transfer application will be deployed along with a finesse gadget on each of the two Cisco Finesse servers.
Software Requirements

Port Utilization Requirements
Any available port can be assigned to the call transfer application deployed in Tomcat. The default port is 8080. Local & network security policy should allow communication on the configured port.
System Access Requirements
Tomcat
Users with Admin rights
Cisco Finesse Administration access
Finesse Administration credentials.
Cisco Finesse agent desktop/supervisor desktop access
Finesse agent\supervisor configured properly with the team(s) or skill group(s) assigned.
AW/Informix DB credentials
Time Synchronization Requirements
If the system dates and time are not synchronized the system can produce unpredictable results. Therefore, please make every effort to adhere to the following time synchronization guidelines:
The server machine and Cisco Finesse should have their Time Zone and time configured properly according to the geographic region and synchronized. To configure the time zone, please see the instructions from the hardware or software manufacturer of the NTP server. The application servers should be synchronized to the second. This synchronization should be maintained continuously and validated on a regular basis. For security reasons, Network Time Protocol (NTP) V 4.1+ is recommended.
