Configuring Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 for 
CAD 9.0
CAD stores some historical information in Microsoft SQL Server. This information 
provides the content for two reports available in Agent Desktop and Supervisor 
Desktop (the Agent State Log and Agent Call Log) and the Supervisor Record Viewer. 
SQL Server retains agent state information for one day and agent call log and 
recording information for a rolling seven day period. 
You must purchase and install SQL Server 2008 R2 and create a separate SQL Server 
instance that hosts the CAD base services (on both servers in a replicated system). 
SQL Server and CAD base services must be installed on the same machine.
NOTE:  Prior implementations of CAD 8.0, 8.5, and 9.0 supported the 
use of flat files or Microsoft SQL Server as the data store. As a matter 
of policy, effective immediately with release 9.0(3), all customers with 
new deployments of any version of Cisco Agent Desktop must use 
SQL Server as the data store, and not flat files. The rationale behind 
this policy is that deployments with a fully replicated SQL Server 
database experience a more complete feature set and better 
performance and stability.
Customers who are upgrading to CAD 9.0(3) from a previous version of CAD 
that was run on Windows Server 2003 (CAD 7.5, 7.6, 8.0, 8.5(1), and 8.5(2a)) 
must migrate to SQL Server 2008 R2 as the data store.
Customers who used flat files with CAD 8.5(4) and CAD 9.0(1a) running on 
Windows Server 2008 R2 can continue to use flat files when upgrading to 
CAD 9.0(3), but are also encouraged to migrate to SQL Server 2008 R2. CAD 
documentation outlines the caveats associated with the use of flat files, 
including loss of functionality during fail over situations that might be cause 
by several reasons, network issues being the most common. Cisco Support 
and TAC reserves the right to request a migration to SQL Server 2008 R2 as a 
resolution plan.

SQL Server in a High Availability Configuration
In an HA configuration, the Recording and Statistics services write historical data to 
the SQL Server databases that reside on the active and inactive sides. Also, SQL 
Server replication services ensure that the data saved on both systems is identical.
