Hi all,


I need a command to originate a new channel from dialplan. I should be able to continue execution of the current context after this command.


How to do this?


Best,
Igor

Thanks, it almost what I need.
But I can't find a way to pass channel variables to Originate cmd in dialplan.


Is it possible at all?

I'm not sure exactly what your use case is, but you could execute a Dial() and use the "M" option to execute a Macro (or "U" to execute a gosub).  From there, the call routes into the macro/subroutine, and you can process away.  After all of that is completed in the macro/subroutine, you can set "MACRO_RESULT" or "GOSUB_RESULT" (depending on which you used) to "CONTINUE", so your dialplan continues after everything is complete (or, if you finish everything within the routine, just let it end there).

Hi John,

Detailed use case:
I have a "contact" call connected to which played the IVR. On "transfer" digit key press I need to transfer it to the predefined "transfer" number. I don't want use the Dial command to do transfer because it will automatically connect "contact" channel with "transfer" channel. Instead I want to put "transfer" channel and "contact" channel in the MeetMe conference.

So I need to use Originate command to originate transfer call in the separate channel. After this command I will put current "contact" channel in MeetMe conference. When "transfer" connects it will be put to the same MeetMe conference as "contact".

Now I'm using the System command to originate call through external executable in dialplan, but it looks ugly, so I'm trying to find a better way to do this.

What I'm using now:
exten => meetme,1,System(/usr/bin/php /etc/asterisk/script/originate_call.php "Channel: Local/+${TRANSFER_NUMBER}@cf3-transfer-dial\,MaxRetries: 0\,RetryTime: 600000\,WaitTime: 640\,CallerID: \<${TO}\>\,Context: cf3-transfer-leg\,Extension: s\,Priority: 1\,Set: ACTIVE_ID=${ACTIVE_ID}\,Set: TERMINATION_IP=${TERMINATION_IP}\,Set: DIAL_TIME=${DIAL_TIME}\,Set: TRANSFER_TEST_NUMBER=${TRANSFER_TEST_NUMBER}\,")
