Re: [Asterisk-Users] Inheriting variables
What you want is SetGlobalVar, which sets a variable that is available to any channel. hth Jonathan - Original Message - From: Asterisk [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Sent: February 24, 2005 10:31 AM Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Inheriting variables I'm trying to set a channel variable and make it available to another channel: I thought that if I SetVar(_SomeVariable=SomeValue) or SetVar(__SomeVariable=SomeValue) then SomeVariable would be available in the destination channel.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Inheriting variables
Julian For example, I want to store the zap channel number into SourceChannel on the incoming call, and make it available to the called agent channel. If global variables are not suitable maybe the registry will work. You may have looked at DBGet and DBPut to retrieve and store arbitrary values. For example you might store values using the channel id as the key and when the call ends delete the values. Database values are available to all channels but you can have your dialplan only work with database values related to its own channel or channels that are related in someway.

Hmm. I'm running Asterisk CVS-HEAD-02/16/05-07:03:04 I'll look into the bug list. Julian.

For example you might store values using the channel id as the key and when the call ends delete the values. The problem with this is that if I use the channel ID as the key, the target channel does not know the parent channel, and therefore does not know what key to use. Internally, the channels obviously know how they are linked, but I wanted to achieve this without having to write app_GetChanData - although that sounds quite interesting now ... :) Julian Database values are available to all channels but you can have your dialplan only work with database values related to its own channel or channels that are related in someway.
