[asterisk-users] monitor application, file name change on attended transfer

[Grzegorz Pycia]

Hi

I have some problem with monitor application when call i transferred in 
attended mode and the transfer occurs before call is answered.

Here is how it looks:

A calls ----> B(let's assume ${UNIQUEUEID}=1)

exten => _XXXX,1,NoOp
seme => n,Set(MONITOR_FILENAME=call-${UNIQUEID})
same => n,monitor(alaw,/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/${MONITOR_FILENAME},bm)

When B answers the call, files call-1-in* and call1-out* are created. 
During The call, B tries to make attended transfer A is put on hold and 
B calls C using the same dialplan logic:

B calls ----> C(let's assume ${UNIQUEUEID}=2)

At the time off invoking monitor application none off the call-2 
channels are monitored so the monitor application starts without errors, 
if B waits till C answers, everything is OK monitor starts recording and 
files call-2-in* and call-2-out* are created, When B transfers the call 
call-2 monitor is stopped. And call-2 files contain only the call 
between B and C.

But there is problem when B does not wait until C answers the call, if 
transfer is done before C answers the call, the call-2* are not created 
and the call is still recorded to the call-1* files, but when the 
transferred call between A and C ends, the call-1* files get renamed to 
call-2* and the MONITOR_EXEC application is called with call-2* file 
names as parameters.

This makes it impossible to locate the call record since the file names 
get changed, can someone tell if I should file a BUG report or is it 
intended to act like this?

Regards
