Hi,
I have developed an application using the JSCSDK I have to update presence of user when he is available/ on a call etc.
I have followed the following documentation for implementing presence automatic updates.
https://www.devconnectprogram.com/site/global/products_resources/avaya_client_sdk/programming_docs/current/javascript/communication/guide/publishing_presence.gsp

As per the guide , I saw a few problems. It says to register the self presence callback under contacts.addOnContactsServiceUnavailableCallback.
It should iteally be contacts.addOnContactsServiceAvailableCallback.

I get a success response when I update my presence, but when I check the user on Equinox, he still shows available.
I have implemented the following code

user.getContacts().addOnContactsServiceAvailableCallback(function () {

                

                        setTimeout(function () {

                            this.onContactsAvailableCallback(user);

                        }.bind(this), 3000);

}



        onContactsAvailableCallback: function (user) {

            var selfContact = user.getSelfContact();

            selfContact.addOnPresenceChangedCallback(function (contact, selfPresence) {

                    console.log('Overall self presence state is ' + selfPresence.getOverallState());

                    this.handlePresenceChangedCallback(contact, selfPresence)

                }.bind(this));

            selfContact.startPresence().then(

                function () {

                    console.log('Successfully subscribed for self presence');

                },

                /**

                 * @param {AvayaClientServices.Services.Presence.PresenceError} error

                 */

                function (error) {

                    console.error('Failed to subscribe for self presence updates', error);

                }

            );

            // Remove this callback once it's called for the first time as we already retrieved self contact

            // this._user.getContacts().removeOnContactsServiceUnavailableCallback(onContactsAvailableCallback);

        },



        handlePresenceChangedCallback: function (contact, selfPresence) {

            this._selfPresence = selfPresence;

            console.log("******* Self presence*****123", this._selfPresence);

            return this._selfPresence;

        },





        handleManualPresence: function (state) {

            setTimeout(function () {

                var selfUser = this._user;

                this._selfPresence.setPhoneState(state);

//this._selfPresence._setOverallState(state); Calling this API also returns success but the presence actually does not get updated 

                selfUser._presenceService.publishAutomaticPresence().then(

                    function () {

                        console.log('Channel (automatic) presence has been published successfully'); // I get success response

                    },

                    /**

                     * @param {AvayaClientServices.Services.Presence.PresenceError} error

                     */

                    function (error) {

                        console.log('Failed to publish channel (automatic) presence', error);

                    }

                );

            }.bind(this), 2000);

        },

Hi,

The method handleManualPresence is attempting to publish automatic presence. If you want to publish manual presence see that section in the doc. I don't see any obvious errors with the attempt to publish automatic presence, assuming the "state" is a valid value. When you mention you don't see the presence change on Equinox, do you mean with an Equinox (IX Workplace) client that is logged in as a different user or the same user? I would test with a different user.

Also, if testing auto presence be sure that no other client has published manual presence for that user. Manual presence overrides auto presence.

Note that you shouldn't use methods that start with an _ in the SDK (like this._selfPresence._setOverallState()). They are intended for internal use only.

Yes, the addOnContactsServiceUnavailableCallback seems to be an error in the doc.

Logs may provide more info.

Hi Jeff,
We are calling publishAutomaticPresence and not the manual one.
We do not have a use case in the application where the user can set his presence manually because its not an Equinox kind of application.
We will double confirm on that the user is not logged on to any other client.
We are checking this users presence from a different user using Avaya IX WorkPlace.
we will share logs after some more testing
Regards,

Hi Jeff,

PFA logs of publish automatic presence.

Thanks for the logs. Looking at 'selfPresence Logs.log' I see that the app started presence on the self contact:

AvayaClientServices-4.4.0.14.min.js:1 [3/26/2020, 6:22:51 PM] UserService: API called: User.getSelfContact

AvayaClientServices-4.4.0.14.min.js:1 [3/26/2020, 6:22:51 PM] ContactsService: API called: Contact.startPresence

The message went out performing that subscription, and then a message was received with the user's presence status:

AvayaClientServices-4.4.0.14.min.js:1 [3/26/2020, 6:22:52 PM] CSGPresenceAndCallProvider: Received notification {rlPresenceUpdatedEvent: "{"presentities":[{"userIdentity":{"userId":"ahealt…0+04:00"},"calendar":null}]}],"watcherInfo":null}"}

...

loginControllerAv.js:200 ******* Self presence*****123 e {_presentity: "ahealth@avayatoday.com", _locationMode: "PRESENCE_LOCATION_MODE_UNSPECIFIED", _calendarState: "PRESENCE_STATE_UNSPECIFIED", _manualState: "PRESENCE_STATE_AVAILABLE", _overallState: "PRESENCE_STATE_AVAILABLE", …}

The second log is yours but the _manualState of "PRESENCE_STATE_AVAILABLE" indicates that a manual presence state has been set for this user. When a manual presence state is set it will override any auto presence state.

Later on in 'successful publishAutomaticPresence().log' I see that the presence state is being published

AvayaClientServices-4.4.0.14.min.js:1 [3/26/2020, 6:26:14 PM] PresenceService: API called: PresenceService.publishAutomaticPresence

A message is going out to indicate that the phone state should be ON_A_CALL.

AvayaClientServices-4.4.0.14.min.js:1 [3/26/2020, 6:26:14 PM] NetworkProvider: CallGatewayProvider,PROVIDER:,RestProvider,URL:,https://meetings.avayatoday.com:443/csa/bsid/ec5f7485-6746-4945-a475-d8a32570d048/resources/users/ahealth@avayatoday.com/clients/ec5f7485-6746-4945-a475-d8a32570d048/presence-publications/pub-1,

  "presencePublication": {

    "channelPresence": [

      {

        "contact": "REMOVED",

        "stateEnum": "OFFLINE",

        "subType": "AVAYA_COMMUNICATOR"

      },

      {

        "channel": "im",

        "contact": "REMOVED",

        "stateEnum": "OFFLINE",

        "subType": "AVAYA_COMMUNICATOR"

      },

      {

        "channel": "phone",

        "contact": "REMOVED",

        "stateEnum": "ON_A_CALL",

        "subType": "AVAYA_COMMUNICATOR"

      }

    ]

  }

},

But we are never updated of a change in the presence state from the server. I believe this is because of the manual presence state.

Please try to either publish PRESENCE_STATE_UNSPECIFIED as a manual state using your app and the SDK, or login with an IX Workplace client and change the presence state to a manual state and then back to automatic, then check to see if the manual presence state is cleared as I did above and if so retry the publishing of the automatic presence state.
