Description:An outgoing call (made by dropping a file in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing) in 1.4 does not generate a CDR record for the call it connects the dialed party to, unless it uses the Dial() command.  This worked fine in 1.2.

In other words, if we call someone, and then Dial() is used to connect them, we get CDR.  But if we call someone and then just play them a recording or an IVR tree, then no CDR is generated for the call.

According to http://www.asterisk.org/node/48358 the generation of CDR in 1.4 was moved from the Hangup routine to ast_bridge_call, so I suspect the problem is that these calls are never being handled in ast_bridge_call.  I've tried using ResetCDR() and ForkCDR() with various options but still, no CDR is generated.

I'm marking as 'major' since this results in customers not being billed, which puts us out of business :-).

****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

The call file looks like:

Channel: Local/8585551234@outtrunk-collect
Callerid: 8585551234
MaxRetries: 5
RetryTime: 20
WaitTime: 45
Context: collect-approval
Extension: 16191000001
Priority: 1

And for purposes of testing, I sent that number to:
 exten => _XXX,1,Answer()
 exten => _XXX,n,Wait(5)
 exten => _XXX,n,Hangup()

If I use a Dial(), then CDR gets generated, but this isn't always appropriate, and kludging it by using a Dial(Local/${EXTEN}@default) did not work either as the resulting channel structure was messed up.

Those exten lines were actually:

 exten => _XX.,1,Answer()
 exten => _XX.,n,Wait(5)
 exten => _XX.,n,Hangup()

so they _did_ match the extension 6191000001

I'm acknowledging this, but I have a feeling this is a duplicate of another issue, but I can't seem to find it. Perhaps it has been closed.

Can you try with the latest 1.4 branch from SVN to verify if it hasn't already been resolved?

svn co http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/asterisk/branches/1.4

Thanks!

I just tried with SVN checked out today (SVN-branch-1.4-r239838M) and the problem still exists.

See also ASTERISK-15296 , which seems to be the same problem in the 1.6 branch.  Perhaps the same fix could be applied to 1.4.
