Hello,
over the weekend I exported to config file the two main functions from tm that allow to suspend the execution of a SIP request and resume it in another place. They are exported through tmx module: - t_suspend() - will suspend the execution of current sip request and then you can do something else (like processing the next request) - t_continue(tindex, tlabel, rtname) - continue the processing of SIP request suspended in the transaction identified by tupple (tindex,tlable) with the actions in route[rtname]
After t_suspend() you can get the transaction identifier (tindex, tlable) via pseudo-variables $T(id_index) and $T(id_label), e.g.:
if(t_suspend()) { xlog("sip request suspended in transaction [$T(id_index)/$T(id_label)]\n"); exit; }
One example of usage can be passing the $T(id_index) and $T(id_label) via mqueue to another process for further handling.
So, besides the new additions, now following cfg tools can be used to do asynchronous operations directly via config: - the mqueue + rtimer module - pass a task via mqueue and get it in rtimer specific processes to run it further - async module - intended to collect asynchronous specific implementation, for now able to sleep and execute a specific route after a time interval
