Part II: Developing Outbound Applications - Test Outbound Application

Testing outbound application is similar to testing inbound applications. Here we list a few more tips specific for test outbound applications.

1. Outbound call log file

The outbound call scheduler log files are under <Voicent Dir>/Gateway/outcall/logs. These logs are different from the gateway logs.

2. Outbound call request files

When the call scheduler receives a call request, it will save it to a file. These files are under <Voicent Dir>/Gateway/outcall/reqs. Files with extension .log are calls already made, and files with extension .req are calls to be made. Please note the format of these files are subject to change and might not be backward compatible.

During debugging, it is nice to clean up the request directory from time to time. To do that, stop the gateway, remove all unwanted request files, and start the gateway again.
