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. Just being a bit "over(under?) verbose)" . Since I'm using ASTDB to "pass values" between channels, my thought was that the "family" would be passval and the key would be ${EXTEN}/val1 (so you could pass multiple values if desired). In a two-channel environment, it wouldn't be that relevant, but since I assume you would want to be able to monitor X number of bridged calls, the 3 value "family/key" combination made the most sense to me.
