asterisk users - Dec 2014 - AMI Redirect both calls from a bridge

Doe anybody know of a way to redirect both channels from a bridge to 
different dial plan extensions from the using the AMI.

Currently, as soon as I redirect one of the channels the other appears 
to be dropped and gets reorder tone (congestion, fast busy).

I guess what I really need is a way to redirect one of the channels and 
hold on to the other.

Thanks,

Please disregard for now, I have found some documentation the refers to 
an extra channel on the Redirect action.

I will try that.

I think You have to do it in two steps. First connect both legs with a
conference and then connect each one with the final extension.

You didn't tell, which version of asterisk You are using. In 11 and
later there is the new conference module, which makes it easier.

In the first step You can use AMI REDIRECT to transfer both parties into
one dynamic conference. Use the Channel and ExtraChannel to take both
channels.

In the second step use AMI Join Events to trigger your next transfer to
the different extensions in Your dialplan. Each channel joining the
conference will generate a separate event.

Thank you for your response.

I am using Asterisk 11.

My issue was simpler than your solution, in that I was simply able to 
use the ExtraChannel on the Redirect command to send the second channel 
directly to the second exten and not have it dropped. My problem was 
that I did not realize that I could use the "Extra" fields in the 
redirect command.

The scenario was while two channels are in a bridge (call) I want to put 
one on hold and supply dial tone to the other. I have an exten 
toredirect the on hold channel to and a dial tone exten to redirect the 
other channel to, but I was trying to do each in a separate redirect 
instead of combining them in one redirect action.

Thanks for you help,
