Hotdesking with member penalties

[cursor]

I am interested in getting more information on this point for QM 1.6.3.0:

#1218 - Optionally passing penalties to Addmember entries

How do I implement this?  I am using Asterisk 1.6.2.15 at the moment and we need to have backup agents on several queues.  Right now I run my own AGI script to log the agents to their respective queues in one swoop along with any penalty.  This would be simplified if QM would pass a variable for penalty so that MAIN agents get 0, WRAP get 1 and SPILL get 2 or something like that.  Where can I get some examples for this feature?

Hi,

This feature populates two new channel variables ${QM_AGENT_PRIOLBL} and ${QM_AGENT_PRIONUM} when AddQueueMember is called by extensions 25 and 35 in the queuemetrics context.

QM_AGENT_PRIOLBL is set to "U" when the queue is not assigned to the agent, "M" when the queue is a normal working queue for the agent (Main), "W" when the agent is set as Wrap for the queue, "S" when the agent is set as Spill for the queue.

QM_AGENT_PRIONUM is set to 0 when the queue is not assigned to the agent or the queue is a normal working queue for the agent; 1 when the agent is set as Wrap for the queue, 2 when the agent is set as Spill for the queue.

Please take a look at the updating.txt and to the extensions_queuemetrics.conf provided example.

Thanks.

Thank you for the information.  I changed the dialplan to include the new variables:

  '35' =>           1. Answer()                                   [pbx_config]
                    2. Macro(queuelog,${EPOCH},${UNIQUEID},NONE,Agent/${AGENTCODE},HOTDESK,SIP/${QM_AGENT_LOGEXT}) [pbx_config]
                    3. AddQueueMember(${QUEUENAME},SIP/${QM_AGENT_LOGEXT},${QM_AGENT_PRIONUM}) [pbx_config]
                    4. Hangup()                                   [pbx_config]

But now I seem to have a problem because I can only get the agent to register on a single queue and not to all assigned.  It will only log the agent into the queue where he is configured as MAIN.  I then have to add the member to the WRAP queue manually after that.  Is there some modification I need to make to the configuration to add WRAP and SPILL queues automatically?

Hello Cursor.

This is, effectively, a bug. It's filled as 1233 in our bug tracker and it will be solved for next QM release.
Thank you and regards.

If you upgrade to the current RPM version 1.6.3.1, we expect it to be fixed.
