asterisk users - Aug 2014 - Asterisk 12.4 "Agent Busy" message on AgentRequest

Hi,

I am upgrading from Asterisk 1.4 to 12.4. I am able to authenticate the
user and call AgentLogin. But after that when I call AgentRequest I keep
getting Agent '1234' is busy.
If I put a delay of 5 second or more before calling AgentRequest then it
works most of the times. Here's my dialplan:

[login]
exten => s,1,Background(thank-you-for-calling)
        same => n,WaitExten(.65)
        same => n,Background(press-1)
        same => n,WaitExten(15)
exten => 1,1,Read(USER,"agent-user")
        same => n,Authenticate(${ODBC_AGENTPASSWORD(${USER})})
        same => n,AgentLogin(${USER})
        same => n,NoOp(${USER} AGENT_STATUS is ${AGENT_STATUS})
        same => n,Hangup()

[agents]
exten => _X.,1,Set(UserNumber=${EXTEN})
        same => n,Wait(5) ; it works most of the time with this wait of 5s
        same => n,AgentRequest(${EXTEN})
        same => n,NoOp(${EXTEN} AGENT_STATUS is ${AGENT_STATUS})
        same => n,Dial(Agent/${EXTEN},,g)
        same => n,NoOp(Dial Status: ${DIALSTATUS})
        same => n,GotoIf($["${DIALSTATUS}" !=
"ANSWER"]?done)
        same => n(done),Hangup()

There is an initial 5 second wait after an agent logs in.  The wait is a
necessary
probation period to allow any local channel chain that the agent may have to
optimize out.  If the agent local channel optimization happens while the
agent is
on a call then the agent pool can lose track of the agent and the agent
will be
logged out.  The agent will then have to log back in after the current call
completes.

Why are you attempting to request an agent that has a device state
(Agent:agent_id) of busy anyway?  That agent could be on another call or in
a
between call wrap-up time.
