Prophecy Commander, formerly the Management Console, is a new addition to Prophecy 9. Prophecy Commander provides enhancements for managing servers and services. In addition to providing detailed statistics and performance graphing, Prophecy 9 Commander is community aware and will cluster itself with other servers in the same community. You can also define groups of services, servers, platforms and resources within each community.
To start, let's open Prophecy Home and select the Management Console.
The default username and password is admin/admin. You should change this as soon as possible by selecting the Users tab at the bottom. Once you've logged in, you'll see a pop-up with three options – Dashboard, New Application and Documentation. The latter two are self-explanatory, so let's go right to the Dashboard.
The first thing you'll notice is the new graphic dashboard with statistics on the number of calls currently up, the number of new call setups per minute and a graph of historical activity.
By selecting the drop down, you can sort by Entire Community (i.e, every Prophecy server in the cluster), Application, Virtual Platform, Group, Site and Server, giving you the ability to break down performance statistics on any individual server, resource, or application desired.
The menu to the left has changed a bit since Prophecy 8, so let's go through a quick list of options.
Prophecy Log Search
Prophecy 9 introduces Prophecy Log Search, a powerful tool that allows you to search and filter through all of Prophecy's logging by keyword, date or application type, and much more. Prophecy Log Search also aggregates all logging across an entire community, so there's no need to log on to the specific server to pull logging for an issue. For a full run down on Prophecy Log Search, head over here.
Applications and Routes
A major update to Prophecy 9 is that Applications and Routes are no longer statically tied to each other. Applications establish the mapping between routes and the documents that form your application. Each Application can have multiple routes assigned to it.
Within the Applications tab you can create new applications or edit existing ones. Here you can specify the name of the application and the type - CCXML, CallXML, VoiceXML, SCXML or Designer. For each type, except Designer, you can specify up to three start URLs. URL 1 is the default start URL. If it is unavailable, Prophecy will retry with URL 2 and URL 3 respectively until it successfully fetches a document.
The route defines the SIP URI that maps to a certain application. In this example, our route name is callxml and points to the application CallXML Home. All calls to the SIP URI sip:callxml@prophecyIP will forward to the CallXML Home application.
Multiple routes can point to an application, but each route can only point to a single application.
Servers, Groups and Virtual Platforms
Servers within a community provide services like CCXML, VoiceXML, CallXML, SCXML, text-to-speech or speech recognition, that each play a role in hosting speech applications. The servers listed in this section are all servers available within the current community.
Groups are collections of other servers and groups. The collections provide load-balanced pools of identical services to virtual platforms that host speech applications.
Servers provide services, groups organize services, and virtual platforms collect and prioritize the different types of services necessary to host speech applications.
