Hi.

(Asterisk 16.2.1)

I'm using AMI Originate to initiate calls, and I'm passing some additional
data in to the dialplan context using the Variable: parameter. Works fine.

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+16+ManagerAction_Originate

Now I need to do the same thing but from another context in my dialplan, so I
was expecting to use the Originate() dialplan command, but how do I pass the
additional data? I don't see any Variable: equivalent parameter.

Thanks for any pointers.


Antony.

You could do the old school method and create and move a .call file from your dialplan.

exten => writefile,1,NoOP()
 same => n,Set(CALLFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/tmp/${FileName}-${ARG1}.call)
 same => n,Set(FILE(${CALLFILE},,,al,u)=Channel: SIP/bob)
 same => n,Set(FILE(${CALLFILE},,,al,u)=WaitTime: 20)
 same => n,Set(FILE(${CALLFILE},,,al,u)=Context: alice)
 same => n,Set(FILE(${CALLFILE},,,al,u)=Extension: s)
 same => n,Set(FILE(${CALLFILE},,,al,u)=Priority: 1)
 same => n,Set(FILE(${CALLFILE},,,al,u)=SetVar: John=AWESOME
 same => n,Set(FILE(${CALLFILE},,,al,u)=Archive: Yes); we want to keep the call file for debugging
 same => n,system(mv ${CALLFILE} /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/); Move the file into the spool
