Hi,

The dialog module documentation remains unclear about the order of operations with regard to when to call dlg_manage() or set the transaction flag.

My impression is that dlg_manage() only registered TM callbacks, so it doesn't matter when you call it, as long as it's before t_relay(). However, the documentation neither confirms nor denies this.

So, this raises the questions:

1) Is this okay?

   set_dlg_profile("caller", "$fU");
   dlg_manage();
   ...
   t_relay();

Or do I need to do this?

   dlg_manage();
   set_dlg_profile("caller", "$fU");
   ...
   t_relay();

2) What about setting dialog-persistent variables? Is this okay?

   $dlg_var(account_id) = 49555;
   dlg_manage();

If so, where does the variable go if I never call dlg_manage() because the call is aborted beforehand, e.g.

   $dlg_var(account_id) = 49555;

   sl_send_reply("403", "Forbidden");
   exit;

   dlg_manage();

   ...

   t_relay();

3) Any other gotchas or caveats in relation to the order of operations?

I suppose my preference would be to set the dialog profiles in various places throughout call processing and call dlg_manage() at the very end, right before t_relay(). Is this acceptable?

Thanks,

-- Alex
