Why not an RR parameter? It's probably the most reliable way to store some dialog-persistent data, since it doesn't depend on any in-memory/runtime state to be kept by the proxy itself, instead using the SIP messaging itself as a persistence layer. The only trouble with this approach is that it relies on correct RR behaviour by both endpoints and of course neither hides the value from the endpoints not prevents them from manipulating it.

If the latter aspects are a concern, $dlg vars are probably the way to go. If you don't want to use the dialog module, use an 'htable' with Call-ID + From-tag as key.

Well, you can also put them in some storage backend e.g. MySQL, PGSQL using AVPOPS or memory caches such as Redis etc.

Another way is to set it as record-route parameter using RR module. (not recommended)

Thank you.

Additionally, there's no other way than implementing dialog module to keep a variable between the beginning and the end of a call?

Thank you guys, I will try this.

I misunderstood the notion of "transaction". I was thinking that it was the whole call-flow.

As far as i know AVPs are transaction specific only. So they will be deleted as soon as transaction is over, i.e. 200 OK for INVITE is received for example. They will not be available in in-dialog transactions such as ACK, or BYE etc. What you need is to set dialog variable instead, see more info here,

Thank you.

Hello,

 

I'm looking for a way to track a call by using basic AVP like this:

Into a route that treats INVITE:

$avp(s:state)="call_start";

 

Then, if I test this AVP into WITHINDLG route:

if($avp(s:state)!="call_start") ; the test fails.

 

Did I miss something?

 

The goal is to update this AVP during the life of the transaction.

 

Regards,

 

Igor.
