yes I am aware of what it was saying... but 101 was most certainly a valid
extension, at the same time this was going on we could send our own
origination command to AMI for 101 to call out and it worked just fine,
that error is not produced by asterisk at all, its not a valid asterisk
error return, you are mis-interrupting some other error and reporting it
back as a asterisk error
I think it was some error inside your java, at the time this was happening
we only saw data stream on webapp.sh on the click to call attempts, we
where also looking at data streams on your agi.sh saw nothing, the cli with
agi and verbose 10 notifications enabled saw nothing, and we also looking
at the AMI stream, nothing there as well, so we dont even think your
connector was even talking to asterisk at all
we fixed the issue last night, stopped the webapp.sh and agi.sh files and
prevented them from start @ boot, rebooted, cleared settings in vtiger PBX
manager or rather put in a bunch of junk, saved, rebooted, put settings
back into PBX manager, rebooted then turned the .sh files back on, not sure
what steps fixed but simple stop and start of .sh files and/or system
reboots did not fix
we still have issue on on test server where it seems vtiger altered
something in asterisk where all the extensions we had in vtiger no longer
will ring though a call queue, we have no data on the event we where not
actively monitoring data streams, and your asterisk connector has never
written 1 log to its own log directory, everything was working Friday, and
Monday we checked on it again and found that vtiger was stuck in endless
loop of inbound notification and those extensions would no longer sent a
sip invite though call queue, even after they where removed from vtiger and
a reboot, and the asterisk connector was completely shut down, keep in mind
these are test servers dedicated to getting vtiger to work, they are lamp +
asterisk + freepbx + vtiger only we have not moved into phase of testing
with other packages so the problems we are having can only be vtiger, this
is what concerns us about closed source java+agi, beyond we can not see
code to try to help you we now have situation where it seems your connector
and AGI have altered asterisk, we dont know whats it doing.
the whole reason we advocate for just use the AMI is its simple and works
and your not really doing anything that requires the interactivity that AGI
allows, AMI can be used to originate call as well as be monitored for
inbound, this is how tapi drivers work that plug into on site CRMs like
ACT, SAGE CRM, Lexis Nexus, ect, its also how sugar / sweet crm are
handling it
I think the tiring the call records to data in vtiger is a great idea, but
why are you generating your own CDR log's via AGI, and this is where I
think you guys are hung up on using AGI, but asterisk does have it own
MySQL tables and CDR reccords, why not during the isntall of vtiger ask for
the asterisk database name and credentials and query them for the info, and
vtiger should not be forcing all calls to record, asterisk gives us ways to
record and not record calls, if you want to link to recordings fine but
again you should be looking to see if a call was recorded, beyond a
performance issue and potential duplication of whats already being done in
the Asterisk, this ventures into a legal issue, a lot of places all parties
must be notified and consent to call recording, with vtiger it forces the
recording
the general rule of thumb here is if you need user input like your making
a IVR and logging what was entered then you need AGI, if your just
originating calls and monitoring for inbound use AMI, in either case SQL
should be used to get call record data
AGI has it problems that you are unnecessarily dealing with, they are
common for AGI, what if my agi script finishes before the call ends, what
if the call ends before my agi script finishes and a whole host of other
issues that you simply dont need to deal with for what your trying to do

Hi,
From the logs, it clearly states that the extension - 101 was not found by
your Asterisk server when AMI originate request sent from Vtiger
Connector.
In order to nail down the issue, can we have a online meeting today or
tomorrow so that it would help us know what really is causing the problem.
I will be available from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM IST at my office. Please tell
us your convenient time within this so that I can send you meeting link.
Thank you.
regards,
Akshath
