*Subject:* [asterisk-users] Set channel variable from within other channel
Hello list,
is it possible to set a variable (channel variable) from within
another channel ?!
I'm currently working with 2 channels that I bridge afterwards. It
would be good to set a variable in one channel when something occurs
in the other channel.
If some variable is not set in channel 1, then this means something
for channel 2. But from within channel 2 I can not see the variables
that are set in channel 1.
The suggestion of using global variables I think will create
difficulties with simultaneous calls...
Kind regards,
Jonas.
AFAIK, it is not possible to set a local variable for 1 call from
another. If GLOBAL variables are a concern, why not use the ASTDB to
store/retrieve these values?
exten => 1234,1,Set(DB(passval/${EXTEN}/val1)=1) will create a key
passval/channelname/val with value 1
on further reflection
exten => 1234,1,Set(DB(passval/${EXTEN:0:7}/val1)=1) might create a
better reference key
For a call on SIP/170, line 1 would create
passval/SIP-170abcdefg/val1, line 2 would create passval/SIP-170/val1
To see what the channel wrote, you would need to get the bridged
channel value (perhaps core show channels verbose?) and do
Exten => 3456,1,Set(CHAN2=bridged channel)
Exten => 3456,n,Set(TEST2=${DB(passval/${CHAN2}/val1)
Regards,
Danny Nicholas
Danny,
the wiki mentions :
Set(DB(family/key)=${foo})
What is this 'passval' you are talking about ?!
Kind regards,
Jonas.
