AW: ***SPAM*** [Asterisk-Users] actionID on manager events

[Anton Kostanjsek]

hi,

afaik, the action-id provided with the OriginateAction should only show up in the OriginateSuccess or OriginateFailure event. Intermediate events that are generated when the channels are create will NOT carry the action-id of the originate.

The async flag tells asterisk to process originates in parallel, i.e. if you have two users originating calls and NO async flag set, the second originate will be processed AFTER the first one was either picked up or timed out. So, I suggest you always set the async flag or you'll get horrible originate-timeout scenarios and the interface will look broken where in fact its only working strictly sequentially. (do I sound like I've been bitten by this? ;) This flag should have no effect on events created for the action. They're always visible, you just have to figure out which channels resemble the call you just created with the OriginateAction.

hth,
Tony

Hi,

have you set Async attribute of your Originate Action to 'true'?

Because as far as I know Events are only generated if it is set to true.
