    Persistent Variables - 0 - Introduction

    VBScript

     

    If you use variables in your script the content of these variables will be lost when the current call ends. Furthermore it is not possible to share the content of a variable with other simultaneously running scripts (same scripts, different scripts of the same or other user). There are lots of cases where you need to "remember" the content of a variable or simply share information between simultaneously running scripts.
     
    Persistent Variables solve this problem. This extension provides an easy to use VBScript class (PersistentVariable) which stores it's content into a database and retrieves it from there.
     
    The visibility, i.e. scope, of a persistent variable can be configured finely grained:
    • User
    • Group
    • Global
    • Namespace
     
    A variable with the scope User is accessible form all scripts of the current user. A user scope variable of another user with the same name does not interfere.
     
    A variable with the scope Group is accessible form all scripts of the current group. A user scope variable of another group with the same name does not interfere.
     
    A variable with the scope Global is accessible from all scripts of all users.
     
    A variable with the scope Namespace is accessible from any script (of any user) defining the same namespace. A variable being stored in another namespace but with the same name does not interfere.
     
    The default scope is User or Group if the variable is used in the call routing of a user or group.  That means that each user and group has his own set of persistent variables without any need to worry to interfere with other users or groups call routings.

     

     

    The Persistent Variables can be used with ANY SwyxWare version. The inlcuded examples and the GSE Action itself however might be stored with the most recent SwyxWare version of the time the Persistent Variable version was released. This means that you might need to use the latest SwyxWare version to be able to open the included GSE Rules (.rse files) and the GSE Action (.ase file) within your GSE.

     

     

    Example: Night Switch
     
    Based upon the Persistent Variables extension this is an example on how to implement night switch functionality into your SwyxWare. There are four scripts included:
     
    • Night Switch Manager
      Modify the night switch status via DTMF menu or Post Dialing Digits (e.g. using speed dial keys to call into the manager to switch the night switch on or off)
       
    • Night Switch enabled call routing script
      A simple example on how to use the night switch persistent variable in a call routing script to differ between day and night call routing
       
    • WebExtension for SwyxIt! Skin
      A simple ASP web page that displays the current state of the night switch as red or green area. By clicking into this area/page the status can be toggled.
       
    • Shortcut for SwyxIt! Skin or Windows Desktop
      A simple WSH script which toggles the current state of the night switch.
