Application plans

Last Updated : Aug 27, 2019 |

The application plan identifies the remote servers and specifies the information that is used to contact each server and to route calls.

You can identify the plan for each application by the application number and a name. The plan specifies the remote servers to be polled by the application and identifies each with a number called the Location Number. The plan also specifies the numbers for the status poll and interflow VDNs for each remote server. Whatever you dial to reach the VDNs is what you must enter in the fields: full length numbers as well as AAR, ARS, UDP, or public network numbers work.

Create application plans on the Best Service Routing Application screen. A plan for an application with three remote servers looks like the following example.

The maximum number of application plans vary depending on your Communication Manager software release and platform. For more information, see Avaya Aura® Communication Manager System Capacities Table.

By entering the application number from this plan on a VDN screen, you can link a given VDN on your local server to this list of locations. This VDN becomes the primary VDN for the application. For example, if the primary vector contains instructions to check locations 1 and 2, the server places a status poll call to the status poll VDN at the New Jersey and Denver servers and compares the results. If location 2 is better than either location 1 or any splits that are checked on the originating server, the call is interflowed to the interflow VDN that is specified in the plan for location 2.
