asterisk users - Sep 2010 - Forking a call

Hi,

 

Using 1.6.2.13.  

 

I'd like to know how I can force Asterisk to fork a call.  To simplify
things, Let's say I have an out context (for outbound calls) and an in (for
inbound).  If person A wants to call person B, and both are on my servers, I
don`t want to send the call out.  I want all this to happen internally on my
server.

 

The problem is if I use some condition to send calls in my out context back
to my in context, some channel variables get mixed up, and (for example)
when the calling part puts the called party on hold, the music on hold used
is the called party's music.  I am sure there are some less benign problems
that could come with that.

 

Is ForkCDR() what I am looking for? Any things I gotta watch out for when
using it?

 

I basically would like Asterisk to treat this call as two separate calls, as
if one was completely outbound and the second an independant inbound call.

 

Mike

Hi Mike,

Fork will generated 2 CDRs, and will seperate CDRs

But seems that there is a trouble in 1.6 (1.4 was working fine)

For exemple : phone A (leg A) is called, I play some background sound and
before putting in relation with phone B (leg B) I do a ForkCDR()

in 1.4 billsec in the first CDRs whas the call time on leg A and in the
second CDR the time of call on leg B
in 1.6 billsec on the two CDRs is the call time on leg B

in my case it cause some trouble since I cannot not charge the introduction
message (background sound)

Is it a known Bug ? or may be it's not a bug?


regards

Mickael
