Hello,
I've constructed a setup for 3CX v9 where the prompts of 5 IVR's change every hour. The prompts can be quite long, up to 8 minutes each.
The IVR number 1 is set to play "message_1.wav" (IVR 2 plays "message_2.wav" and so on...). Every hour that "Message_x.wav" is overwritten and replaced by a new file "message_x.wav". This happens without 3CX knowing it.
The queer thing is that the IVR's keep playing outdated files, even if they have been physically deleted and replaced in the folder "\\myserver\c$\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\3CX\Data\Ivr\Prompts". Even after twelve hours and twelve changes, I still hear a 12 hour old prompt.
3CX caches the files somewhere, probably in memory. As a test i tried deleting an up-to-date prompt, while it is being replayed. This is possible. The 2 minute message is played until the end.
Sometimes things work as they should: if i manually replace a prompt with a short test-message, that test-message is immediately loaded and replayed. I have no explanation why this works correctly.
Rebooting 3CX is one solution. But is there another solution to force 3CX to refresh the prompts without rebooting?
thanks,
regards,
