asterisk users - Sep 2004 - call recording and CDR "feature" discovered?

Hi Folks,

I've been playing with call recording for our support department which was
kinda going ok until I spotted something odd in the CDR. None of the
support calls are being entered into the CDR properly.

I'm using mysql as the back end and Areski's web based front end and all
was going fine.

The problem seems to be that the CDR doesn't get populated with the
destination phone number and the LastApp field get populated with the
recording information.

Here's my recording stanza. All the support phones are in a context called
record-calls so that it happens all the time.

; Record calls
[record-calls]
exten =>
_1NXXNXXXXXX.,1,SetVar(CALLFILENAME=${TIMESTAMP}-${CALLERIDNUM}-${EXTEN:2})
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX.,2,Monitor(wav,${CALLFILENAME})
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX.,3,Answer
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX.,4,Background(this-call-may-be)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX.,5,Background(recorded)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX.,6,Background(for-quality-purposes)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX.,7,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@galaxyvoice,30,t)

exten => h,1,Macro(record-cleanup)

[macro-record-enable]
exten => s,1,SetVar(CALLFILENAME=${TIMESTAMP}-${CALLERIDNUM}-${EXTEN})
exten => s,2,Monitor(wav,${CALLFILENAME})
exten => h,1,Macro(record-cleanup)

[macro-record-cleanup]
exten => s,1,SetVar(MONITORDIR=/var/spool/asterisk/monitor)
exten => s,2,GotoIf($${CALLFILENAME} = ${FOO}?6:3)
exten => s,3,System(/usr/bin/wmix ${MONITORDIR}/${CALLFILENAME}-in.wav
${MONITORDIR}/${CALLFILENAME}-out.wav >
/home/spool/asterisk/monitor/${CALLFILENAME}.wav)
exten => s,4,System(/bin/rm ${MONITORDIR}/${CALLFILENAME}-in.wav
${MONITORDIR}/${CALLFILENAME}-out.wav)
# exten => s,4,System(/usr/bin/toast -F ${MONITORDIR}/${CALLFILENAME})
exten => s,5,NoOp

And this is what happens in the CDR

8.   	2004-09-14 22:39:00  	SIP/2208-a5dd  	2208  	"2208" <2208>
NoOp
	s  	 	ANSWERED  	10


Any ideas?

Thanks de Mark

Greetings,

I've been looking through the docs, but haven't located any info on how
to
autodial a number with an extension.

I've got a working autodial set up where I can get asterisk to dial a
number and play a prerecorded message, and ask for confirmation of
receipt. Is it possible to get asterisk to dial a given number, pause for
a few second and then dial an extension number before playing the
prerecorded messages?

Right now I'm generating calls by dropping a file into 
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing:

----------------
Channel: SIP/617xxxxxxx@broadvoice
Callerid: 240xxxxxxx
MaxRetries: 5
RetryTime: 300
WaitTime: 45
Context: outboundmsg1
Extension: s
Priority: 1
----------------

How would the "Channel:" line need to be modified to allow for dialing
(for example) 617xxxxxxx, extension 386? Or would I need to do this a 
different way?

TIA for any and all replies/hints/pointers,

--Duncan

Dial has the D flag for doing just that Not sure how you would do it
for the call spool though

Yes, I think i t has to do with the Gotoif.  Redo your cleanup without 
the Gotoif, and the CDR should be fine.
