asterisk users - Oct 2014 - CALLERID(num) and CDR(clid) - originate

Hello,

  A question on channel originating (call files and AMI Originate):

  How can I change the CALLERID(num) var (because of the E1 provider
needs), but having another n?mber (the original one) stored on the
"clid"
CDR field on the database?

  A channel agnostic solution would be the best one, without having to deal
with the problem based on what type of Tech used for the outgoing call.

Thanks already,
Gabriel

You can't. The clid CDR field cannot be modified from the dialplan,
and is always set to the caller ID of the channel. If you change the
caller ID on the channel, you can expect the CDR clid field to reflect
that.

That being said, if you are using a flexible backend (such as
cdr_custom or cdr_adaptive_odbc), you can add a custom column to your
CDR records - such as 'clid_original' - and use the CDR function to
set that value prior to changing the caller ID:

exten => Set(CDR(clid_original)=${CALLERID(num)})
exten => Set(CALLERID(num)=6575309)
