<font face="Arial, Helvetica">Hello all, <br>
I am still faced with the same problem since long time: <br>
How to correctly handle failed calls. <br>
<br>
In my application I call hundreds of phones in small amount of times. <br>
When the called pick up the phone he gets a playback message. <br>
I am making use of manager command originate, something like <br>
Action:originate <br>
channel: ZAP/g1/XXXX <br>
Variable:X|Y|Z <br>
extension: test <br>
the extension test is someting like <br>
[test] <br>
exten s,1 , wait <br>
exten s, 2 , answer <br>
exten s, 3 playback(XX) <br>
The problem is since I don't use the call inside the extension I
cannot'handle <br>
the DIALSTATUS or HANGUPCAUSE variable <br>
I tried several strategies: <br>
1) <br>
change the logic and use local pseudo channel <br>
In the originate command if I use channel: local/XXXXX@test1/n <br>
and make use of an extension like <br>
[test1] <br>
exten => _.,1,Dial(ZAP/g1/g${EXTEN}) <br>
exten => _.,2,NoOp( 2 HANGUPCAUSE is ${HANGUPCAUSE}) <br>
exten => _.,3,NoOp( 2 DIALSTATUS is ${DIALSTATUS}) <br>
exten => _.,4,NoOp( number is ${number}) <br>
exten => _.,5,Hangup <br>
<br>
I got the correct HANGUP value ( ie BUSY) but unfortunately I cannot
use the <br>
variable set in the originate command. why? <br>
<br>
2) <br>
<br>
I tried to use the Async=True parameter in the originate command and
magically <br>
* make a goto to extent failed. <br>
Unfortunately in that extension I can't see any value in HANGUPCAUSE or
<br>
DIALSTATUS. Why? <br>
<br>
So how can know what is going on when a call fail? <br>
<br>
