Hi,
Unfortunately, I wish I had a simple queue to share but my
implementation is quite complex due to how I control the call on a
per-operation basis. If you choose this route then perhaps you can use
store your channel/queue name(s) within simple storage elements such as
a stack, array, or even a hashtable (although the last may not be ideal
for retrieving calls in order) and then use AMI to control the calls
from there. Sorry I can't be more helpful in providing you an example.
I imagine Asterisk queue's work though, so perhaps it might be worth
your while to pursue that approach a bit more (unfortunately I've never
tried them, so I can't tell you how it's done!). That being said,
perhaps getting Asterisk Queue's going will require a more step-by-step
approach to figure out why it's not working for you. Here are my
suggestions:
Have you tried the exact dialplans in the examples within
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+Queue ? i.e.: Have you
been able to get Asterisk queue's working without AMI? If not, that
might be where to start and then add AMI in afterward..
Another suggestion I have is to use the QueueAdd AMI command, rather
then calling Queue within your dialplan. If you have success on doing
something like an Answer/Playback via AMI, then you will probably have
no issues with the QueueAdd AMI command. Please try that and maybe
you'll have more luck. Here's the API reference:

Hope this helps & good luck,
Daniel

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestions.
The comma was an error in my email, not in my dialplan.
Even if i use Answer command before Queue i received the same error
back, so i think the best way is to have my own queue.
Have you got any example of how to implement a simple queue that use
the "fewestcalls" strategy?
Best Regards
Salvatore

Oggetto: Re: [asterisk-dev] AGI:async
Hi Salvatore,
I don't have any experience with the "Queue" command, as I basically
pass the call directly to agi:async and control the call every step of
the way from my C program (where I've implemented my own queue/call
tracking).
However, here are my suggestions:
1) Upon taking a quick look at
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+Queue, I think your
"failed to add agi command to channel.." error may be since the call
is not answered yet. You'll notice on that web page that the dial
plan calls "Answer" before Queue in example 1, and Playback (which
itself internally answers the call to be able to then play the
announcement) before Queue in example 3 (I'm skipping example 2, as
it's a link to a German site and not directly on the page). Please
try one of those commands, before calling your Queue command, and I
think you'll get better results.
2) You are correct that AGI(agi:async) stops execution of the
dialplan. In your attempt to execute AGI(agi:async) before Queue,
that's exactly what happened. The call entered agi:async mode and
from that point on you are supposed to issue commands to control the
call from your AGI program.
That's probably the reason you don't hear ringing on the phone, as (in
your AGI call on priority 1 example) your inbound call never reached
the "Queue" dialplan priority.
3) This is a minor detail, but I'm not sure your syntax is correct.
Try removing the comma before the "n", so that you have the following
in your dial plan: "same => n,AGI(agi:async)"
Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi,
I'm trying to answer a call that is in Queue through AMI, launching
AGI command ANSWER.
I read about putting AGI(agi:async) in extensions.conf dialplan but
if i set in this order:
exten=> 1000,1,Queue(queuename)
same=> ,n,AGI(agi:async)
and try to answer using AMI the response is : failed to add agi
command to channel XXX queue.
Else if i set the dial plan in this order:
exten=>1000,1,AGI(agi:async)
same=> ,n,Queue(queuename)
the phone doesn't ring and the command execute successful, but
nothing happens. Isn't agi:async "really" async but stops execution
of the dialplan?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
