Chapter 7      Cisco Unified Expert Advisor Option
Call Flow Descriptions
that the SIP signaling for the original call continues to flow through Unified Expert Advisor's 
back-to-back user agent even though there is no longer an expert connected to it, and Unified Expert 
Advisor continues to track the call's duration and media changes until the caller eventually hangs up.
Finally, this functionality depends on the signaling that Cisco Unified CM provides to Unified Expert 
Advisor during conference and transfer scenarios. It is not guaranteed to work if a further downstream 
call control device such as the PSTN or a cellular phone MSC performs the switching. In those cases, 
the most likely result will be that the expert appears to remain active on the call until the caller 
disconnects.
Expert Advisor Login
The preceding call flows deal with the process by which calls arrive in the system and reach an expert 
advisor. This section considers the process by which an expert advisor becomes available to take such 
calls. 
 shows the event sequence by which an expert advisor logs in to Unified Expert Advisor.

Expert Advisor Login Sequence
When Unified Expert Advisor first starts up, it logs into Cisco Unified Presence as a two simulated Cisco 
Unified Personal Communicator users, one from the primary runtime server and one from the backup 
runtime server. Both simulated users subscribe to presence notifications for all Cisco Unified Presence 
users who are designated as expert advisors, but only the one on the active runtime server actually 
conducts IM message exchanges.
When an expert advisor interacts with Cisco Unified Presence by logging in or by setting his presence 
state to available, a corresponding presence document is forwarded to Unified Expert Advisor. (Presence 
documents are in the form of XML content attached to a SIP/SIMPLE message.) If the document 
indicates that the advisor is available, Unified Expert Advisor notifies Unified ICM that the advisor is
