asterisk users - Jan 2007 - AMAFlags always"Documentation" (or 3 inastcdrmysql) even after Set(CDR(amaflags)=bill) or SetAMAFlags(bill)

Hi Folks,

 

I figured out how to get the AMAFlags set correctly! It was not documented
anywhere I could find, and I grepped through the source code trying to track
through the different function calls etc. all to no avail.

 

But... if you note in the sample.call file, they show how to do
Set(CDR(userfield|r)=whatever. I tried adding this "|r" piece into
amaflags, like so:

 

            Set(CDR(amaflags|r)=billing

            Set(CDR(amaflags|r)=omit

            Set(CDR(amaflags|r)=documentation

 

And it actually works! At least for 1.4beta3 which happens to be running on this
box.

 

Regards,

Scott

Already using the CDR(userfield), and overloading it with multiple variables
will make some DB operations nastier to work with (I'm a little fuzzy and
vague on exactly what... something to do with sql joins?). I'm digging
deeper into how much pain it really causes us on the DB/App side to see if our
work-arounds there are less painful than trying to get AMAFlags to work.

 

It seems that AMAFlags are a really seldom used feature, considering that
I'm asking same question that went unanswered several years ago.

 

Thanks all,

Scott

Hello

 

Why not use the CDR(userfield) field instead. You can set that to any integer of
your liking, and use that to identify the type of call.

Is anyone out there using AMAFlags? I'd like to set this field as a marker
to distinguish different types of calls in CDRs, but can't seem to make it
respond to the documented commands Set(CDR(amaflags)=bill) or SetAMAFlags(bill).

 

I've googled this issue, seen others have had this problem with IAX, with
different DB drivers for CDR records, etc. I'm using SIP and LOCAL channels,
asterisk-1.4beta2 release (I don't think upgrading to current release will
fix this problem, it's been around for years based on trouble reports), both
text .csv and mysql astcdr.cdr types.

 

Seems like a problem with basic AMAflags support in CDR. They always show up as
DOCUMENTATION in the .csv text file, and they always show up as '3' in
mysql. I hurt my brain trying to follow the layers of indirection in the source
code for where this is actually set. With verbosity turned on in asterisk
console I can see the SetAMAFlags function being run.

 

Any tips, tricks, or pointers in the right direction?

 

Thanks,

Scott
