Thank you for your forum post / email
We would like to apologise for your bad experience with Datatex support.
We have set processes in place in order to efficiently assist with queries. Queries can be logged telephonically or via our forum.
We have encouraged DCData technicians to please log issues per TNG (per client). The motivation for this being that we can, through a process of elimination, consider all the factors to ensure that we are not dealing a re-occurring issue. For instance with Asterisk your server can have the same specifications but the numbers of extensions, trunks, call volumes and routing, etc. can be different. For this reason we need the issue to be logged per TNG.
We do request in some instances of telephonic support that a forum post is generated in order to obtain more details or information. We rely on the Technical Engineer to follow our suggestions or supply the information required in order to provide them with the best support on the respective queries. Regrettably these suggestions are not always followed.
As with any software it is always suggested to run the latest version of the software rather than re-install. For your last query this is not the case (running version 1.0.7.0) – refer to forum post:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2986#p3316.
Another post was logged for an issue that TNG frequently expires – refer to forum post:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2935&start=0. Note that once the information we requested was provided per TNG (client), we identified more than one issue. We also established that this TNG is not on the latest version (still on version 1.0.7.0). Our developer was made available to log in remotely and investigate the issues DCData reported at the respective branches of one client. We could not complete this investigation as the DCData Engineer was not available.
We will be happy to assist with any issues, but to ensure efficient support is provided we require issues to be logged per TNG. To investigate and resolve we investigate the TNG in its specific environment. We also encourage you to follow the correct support channels as stipulated above as email support has been discontinued. We also suggest having the software on the latest version, which will address all know issues.
You also have the option to use the forum articles to do your own searches – all issues that we have come across has been logged and is available to all on the forum. With the forum we make all information available and all issues is shared.
