How to do Redirect in the Manager API?

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

I am having some trouble with the Redirect action using the Manager API. I guess, the documentation is not too clear.

I want to move an existing conversation to a meetme room using my application. So with my app, I started a conversation between extentions 281 and 272. Now I’d like to move them to a meetme room. What should I send?

Thanks.

do you use some library or plain socket IO?

cause I use Asterisk-Java and redirecting just one channel works fine, but when I try to redirect 2 channels (with extraChannel option), first one is redirected and the other (extra) not. i think there’s some bug, but not sure where - in lib or in manager API itself.

so far i just send 2 actions consequtively for 2 channels and it works, however this is not quite good as it adds additional time delay.

redirect action works for channels, not extensions.
so you have to know what extension maps to what channel.
e.g. 281 == SIP/281 (see your configs).
then you have to list through active channels with StatusAction to find corresponding active channel (e.g. SIP/281-b9ca) and only then send this channel in RedirectAction.

Maybe a bit late to commit on this one, but just for the archives:
If you are using BRIstuff and the redirect action via Manager API you encounter exactly the problem you described.
There is a patch for latest BRIstuff at reucon.net/~srt/bristuff_q_redirect.patch and i forwarded it to Junghanns but never got a reply.
