  2. Chat is already handled and completed.
  3. Oracle removed the chat from the queue DUE to USER_WAIT_QUEUE_TIMEOUT.

Root Cause:

There are two possible root causes for this error message.

  1. When the new chat arrives the Harmony Media Bar, before accepting the Chat, if the agent changes his status to Unavailable, then Accepts the chat, Oracle Chat Server will decline the pop chat request. OpenMethods will re-queue the chat. The chat will be re-routed to another agent.
  2. Oracle max chat session is set to 3 and agent is already handling 3 chats (including the chat is in wrap up mode). Oracle will decline the pop chat request.  The screen shot shows this root cause.

Root Cause

The profile associated with the Agent is not assigned with the specified Queue Name. So agent is allowed to handle the Chat. Oracle declined to pop chat.

The icon in the Chat channel will be shown in Red.
