asterisk users - Jul 2015 - Action Originate in Asterisk 13 creates 2 calls in core show channels

Hello,

I am migrating a PABX system based in Asterisk 1.4 to Asterisk 13, with success.

I have an application that sends an action Originate to AMI for
calling, it's working well, but when i see to Asterisk's CLI, i see 2
calls for just one originate:

                  9428460a-f4e7-46d1-b
4 active channels
2 active calls

In fact, just one call is up.

Somebody knows if this is ok, or it's a bug? May be someday asterisk
will create just one call for one originate?

Thanks in advanced for your answers!

Alonso.

It looks like you?re originating with local channels.

Try with /n at the end (not sure if that helps anymore) and also send us your
originate line.

It isn't a bug.

The output of 'core show channels' reports a 'call' (which is
not a
concept that is represented well anywhere in Asterisk) as a channel
with a PBX thread running. In this case, that's the two channels in
your output that are not outbound channels, i.e., the Local channels
that dialled your SIP channels.

That fact that you have two different SIP channels means that
something either performed two Originates, or you have done a parallel
Dial.
