Thanks Jason. Finally got back to testing this and your insight has solved that issue
thanks. I now create a new transaction if check transaction fails (which it will of course
on the initial INVITE). Now the Ro_CCR () in the ims_charging module doesn't complain
about "dialog not found"
I assume then that dialog_ng works differently than dialog module in that it creates an
initial dialog on receipt of INVITE by default. The original dialog module required
dlg_manage() to be called to achieve that.
Once again - thanks for your help.
Cheers
Shane

Hi Shane,
Please make sure you create a new transaction using t_newtran() if t_check_trans() fails.
Dialog will not be tracked if there is no transaction.

Hi Jason,
Appreciate the reply. Below is my log file for processing initial INVITE (I will send the
config file privately so you can match up line numbers). Note that as you may have
noticed from a previous posting, I have modified ims_charging module to use standard
usrloc module. I know this would normally mean people's interest in helping tends to
wane but the changes weren't major and the area of checking the dialog exists in the
Ro_CCR() is independent of the usrloc changes which only kick in later in the process. So
hoping you are willing to give it a quick look even under these circumstances. Currently
I can't see how it works for you guys unless dialog_ng creates an initial dialog
before the t_relay() call when the flag is set - which would be different behaviour to
standard dialog module.
Cheers
Shane

Shane,
Just looking at your config I see you have already set the flag. Can you perhaps send me a
log file and I will take a look for you. This is exactly how we, and others (ng voice) use
it in our IMS setups so it should work....
Cheers

Hi Shane,
dialog_ng started as a prototype by us quite a while ago to form the basis of dialogs in
our IMS implementation using Kamailio. We took quite a lot from the existing dialog module
at the time and then built the additional functionality on top. There were some things
(like dlg_manage) that we did not move across.... and this is bad.... so I apologise.
Right now to get a dialog recorded you need to define a flag in the modparam:
modparam("dialog_ng", "dlg_flag", 10)
And then when you want to track a dlg do something like:
if (is_method("INVITE")) {
setflag(10);
...
}
We have had a lot of other work to focus on and haven't spent too much time on
dialog_ng but we will certainly put some effort into making it easier to use and more
complete.
Cheers

Thanks Daniel - that clarity helps. Apologies if I should have been able to glean that
from the docs - I just didn't see it in my reading. FYI, dialog-ng has deprecated the
dlg_mange() function.
Can anybody who has used or involved in writing the dialog-ng module shed some light on
what the new mechanism is for creating an early dialog structure?
Cheers and thanks

Hello,
I haven't used the dialog_ng module, but (as expected based on the
dialog module) if you only set the FLT_DIALOG flag, then the dialog is
created when calling t_relay(). The dialog module has dlg_manage()
function which creates the dialog immediately, maybe that's in dialog_ng
as well.
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi all,
I think the lack of response to my previous thread is probably because it was too
complicated. I have now narrowed my problem down after further archive readings .
I am trying to use the dialog_ng module along with the ims_charging_module. Upon
reception of an INVITE, a call to the Ro_CCR() from the request_route script is made.
That function does a check that the dialog record exists (binds to dialog module and does
a "get_dlg(msg)" call) - this fails i.e. dialog is not found.
Running kamailio 4.2.2 and relevant sections of kamailio.cfg are:
modparam("dialog_ng", "dlg_flag", FLT_DIALOG)
modparam("dialog_ng", "timeout_avp",
"$avp(DLG_TIMEOUT_AVP)")
modparam("dialog_ng", "detect_spirals", 1)
modparam("dialog_ng", "profiles_no_value", "orig ; term")
request_route {
# NAT detection
route(NATDETECT);
# Set DLG flag to track dialogs using dialog2
if (!is_method("REGISTER|SUBSCRIBE"))
setflag(FLT_DIALOG);
# handle requests within SIP dialogs
route(WITHINDLG);
### only initial requests (no To tag)
# CANCEL processing
if (is_method("CANCEL"))
{
if (t_check_trans())
t_relay();
exit;
}
t_check_trans();
if (is_method("INVITE"))
{
set_dlg_profile("orig");
Ro_CCR("CHARGING_CCR_REPLY", "orig", "SCUR",
"", "30","CCR_location");
}
So my question is, "should the above logic create a dialog record on the initial
INVITE?" and if yes then "what possible reasons might there be for the Ro_CCR()
function not be able to detect it exists?"
Cheers
