Hello.
I’m using Asterisk 1.8.x
I have downloaded trial of Visual Dialplan Professional and it looks very good and i’m planning to buy this software if it will satisfy all our needs.
In our system was already deployed a lot of ODBC_FOO functions which interacts with our corporate MSSQL database.
These functions selects data from database and puts results of call (dtmf input, etc).

I have not found any ability except “custom code” to manage these functions.

How can I access to these functions with Visual Dialplan Professional ?

And my second question is: which kind of database connections limitations have Integration Server? One simultaneous connection or count of SQL servers?
How will this limitation work when several calls tries to access database?

Mthawk,

I’m not aware of a better/easier way to call odbc_asterisk function from VDP than to use custom component.

As for the Integration Server, the limit is the number of concurrent (simultaneous) calls, i.e. number of channel licenses. It comes with one free license for database, email and payment module.
If you wish to support more that one concurrent call you will need to purchase additional channel licenses.

Hello, Raman. Thank you for answering.
I see.
What will be when second call will attempt to access database while one connection is active?
Error or wait?

Mthawk,

Second concurrent call that utilize DB module will fail.
