Hello, We are currently working on a project where using .call file on asterisk spool, outbound calls will be made from a pri line and a voice clip will be played. We know that pri has a capacity of handling only 30 channels at a time. Therefore, my worry is what happens if we write 100 files at a time on the spool. Will asterisk manage the queue or how exactly will it behave. Regards, Ashish -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The other 70 will result into failure with .call file approach. Regards, Mitul Limbani, Chief Architech & Founder, Enterux Solutions Pvt.

In my experience the first 30 calls will go simulatenously, then the remainder will go as lines become available. You should use /g1 or /r1 to allow the call file to pick an open channel. Mitul is somewhat correct; all 100 calls will try to process at once, so the 70 ?laggards? will have to re-process. The better solution would be to send the calls in chunks of 20 or 30, especially if you don?t specify async=yes and multiple tries.

The "best" approach to this would be to have a "sender" that uses AMI to monitor channels and release .call files as channels become available. About 100 lines in PERL.

Hi Ashsih, I have built an application similar to what you working on. Am not sure what language you are using but you can set the created time of the extra .call files minutes later. For Example The 1st batch of 30 call files can have a now timestamp The 2nd batch of 30 call files can have a now + 2 minutes timestamp The 3rd batch of 30 call files can have a now + 4 minutes timestamp Meaning after the first 30 calls are made the system gives a 2minutes lag before making the 2nd batch and its goes on Like that. In PHP I do it using the touch function. touch($callfilename,$time); Kind Regards Billy On 5/3/12 7:28 PM, "Ashish Agarwal" <ashishag67 at gmail.com> wrote:> How can I check how many lines are currently being used? > > On May 3, 2012 9:23 PM, "Duncan Turnbull" <duncan at e-simple.co.nz> wrote: >> Hi Ashish >> >> On 4/05/2012, at 3:41 AM, Ashish Agarwal wrote: >> >>> >>> Hello, >>> >>> We are currently working on a project where using .call file on asterisk >>> spool, outbound calls will be made from a pri line and a voice clip will be >>> played. >>> >>> We know that pri has a capacity of handling only 30 channels at a time. >>> Therefore, my worry is what happens if we write 100 files at a time on the >>> spool.
