Re: [Astlinux-devel] Grrr I cant get Voicemail MWI status to refresh

[Michael K. <mic...@ip...>]

Hi Devs

Ok I am doing some more testing as I want to get this sorted.
I have now reverted to Asterisk 13.23.1 and have removed mailbox polling in voicemail.conf.
Surprisingly AMI: VoicemailRefresh IS WORKING after all! 
What I am suspecting is that it did work when I tested previously but it was just very delayed and I was assuming it was some other watchdog process changing the MWI's. I have confirmed that this is not the case e.g. I left for quite a while and there status did not change.
As such, I'm going to keep testing over the next few days and if there is no change in the time then I'm going to assume that this version is ok. If not then I'm going to need to go to 13.26.0.

I will keep you posted.

Regards
Michael Knill

    WOPR, I love it, great classic movie reference.
    
    Have you used WOPR to find a solid 13.x alternative to your old 11.x version ?  Possibly Asterisk 13.23.1 ?

I did a test run emulating one of my 2000 line production systems and found that as the mailbixes get lazier and lazier so does the dialplan..  call processing slows down..  Macros and gosubs seem to get slower and slower as the number of calls get processed and voicemails get left..  (the production sites are still running on old 11.20.6)

(a physical i7 4770k with 8 gigs ram)..  scripts on aastra(mitel) 68xx series physical phones make the phones answer, place calls on hold, transfer, etc..  since audio files play, they also can leave Voicemails..  the WOPR box estensions.. answer , play RTP, hang up, xfer etc.  its the best emulation of a hotel environment I could create without 100s of FXO ports wired to 100s of FXS ports.

I also run an externnotify script and some users get VM2email..  the email process is offloaded..  so the email command is simply a catcher for the email data.
