[asterisk-users] Variables set by AGI lost in dialplan

[Deepesh D]

The calls are always handled in the same manner, and I am not swapping
any channels.

Its just a simple dialplan

[my_context]
exten => _X.,1,MSet(my_var=0,my_var1=0)
exten => _X.,n,AGI
exten => _X.,n,Log(NOTICE,"${my_var} ${my_var1}")
           :
     Do some processing with variables (these are just some simple
ExecIf statements to set some other variables)
           :
           :
exten => _X.,n,Dial(SIP/some_exten)
exten => _X.,n,Hangup
