Re: [Sipp-users] Issue faced with updating filed value of csv injection file
Yes, I got the following errors when I tried to pause the SIPP process using 'kill -SIGSTOP' command on linux and resumed it after the media transfer got completed by using the 'kill -SIGCONT' command. The minor watchdog timer 500ms has been tripped (1200), 120 trips remaining.. Resetting watchdog timer trigger counts, as it has not been triggered in over 600041ms.. Apparently the flow of messages and media was successful. I found no help in the SIPp documentation regarding the working of this timer so I am not sure how this error may affect various scenarios using the pause approach I have mentioned. Can you please suggest any relevant reference documentation I could use. Can you kindly recommend a better solution to this problem.

No. SIPp's internal timing loop will go haywire trying to catch up when you resume it.

Madiha, The mechanism you have described looks like it only works with one call. If that is the case you could exit SIPP (saving any context and the Call-ID of course) and re-enter it to continue the call after the media is done.The alternative we did at Newport Networks was to start and stop the external media generator from the SIPP process. That method will (and did) work for multiple simultaneous calls and you then use something like a pause to control the length of the media generation.Peter Higginson Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2008 21:35:33 +0500From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Re: [Sipp-users] Issue faced with updating filed value of csv injection file Hi,Thanks for the reply Charles.Does anyone know a workaround to this problem.
