[asterisk-users] Warning: "Channel does not have a CDR" when doing ForkCDR

[Michael Collins]

Gang,

I'm having this error pop up when I do a ForkCDR, and I'm not sure how
to get around it.  Here are a few log lines:

Nov  8 10:37:08 VERBOSE[28079] logger.c:     -- Executing
ForkCDR("Zap/49-1", "") in new stack
Nov  8 10:37:08 WARNING[28079] app_forkcdr.c: Channel does not have a
CDR

The scenario occurs like this:
I use a .call file to generate a call on Zap/1-1
The called party is then bridged to Zap/49-1
After the bridge occurs, I would like a separate CDR to reflect a
successful bridge (or "transfer" or whatever we call it when two Zap
channels are connected)

>From the error message it sounds like Zap/49-1 doesn't have a CDR to
begin with - is it possible to force the second leg, i.e. the call on
Zap/49-1, to generate a CDR?

Any help would be appreciated.  Dial plan info is at the end of this
transmission.

Thanks,
MC


Dial plan info:
This is what I affectionately call "blasterisk" - I'm using Asterisk to
make lots of automated calls.  I'm not really blasting away, but it
sounded cool.  Anyway, here's how it works-
I start with a .call file that generates a phone call in
blasterisk_dialout,s,1
If the called party presses the correct digits, in this case 1, then the
call goes to blasterisk_english_right_party,s,1.
If the called party then dials 9, he is transferred to an agent, which
is where the macro Connect_to_agent comes in to play.
The agent is called on a separate zap channel and then presses 1 to
accept the call.  Upon a successful connection to an agent I'd like to
generate a new CDR entry, which is why I'm doing the ForkCDR...
