Data exchange functionality

Database access

An ORACLE database may reside directly on the Avaya IR system. ORACLE databases, as well as other types of databases, may also reside on servers outside the system, with access via the LAN. When remote servers are used, a Avaya IR system can interact with multiple databases using various database applications. The JDBC feature provides database connectivity and activity on the Avaya IR server and to remote servers. See JDBC database interface feature for more information.

Data exchange operations

Data exchange involves the following:

Applications on the Avaya IR system can define database tables and place content from variables into database table fields.

When a caller inputs touchtones, the content of the response is placed into a system variable. It can also be placed in custom variables.

When a caller speaks, speech recognition software converts the voice into data (see Detecting speech). This data is analyzed by the speech recognition proxy and the relevant parts are extracted. This data is also placed in variables.

Applications on the Avaya IR system can retrieve data from database tables.
