Move SIP Header from REFER to INVITE

[djohnson]

We are working to connect Genesys PureConenct and Genesys PureEngage together, passing through Cisco CUCM.  We have a SIP trunk from CUCM to Connect and a SIP trunk from CUCM to Engage.  The original proof of concept had an INVITE sent from CONNECT to CUCM which contained a set of 12 custom headers that I was able to use a SIP Transparency script to pass through.  What we found was that this maintained multiple calls resulting in a need for double the license count.

We have moved to a new solution that uses SIP REFER messages from Connect to Cisco, resulting in a new INVITE being sent from Cisco to Engage.  The problem is that there is a custom data field in the REFER message that needs to be copied over to the INVITE that is sent to Engage.  I am not able to find a mechanism that allows me to take the custom data field in the REFER and pass it to the INVITE.

Hi @djohnson , Do you find a solution?

I have exactly the same issue and I couldn't find how solve it yet. If you have a solution, I'll appreciate if you share it.

If not, I let you know if I find something.

Is there a solution available for this issue ? One of the methods to copy headers is using sip-copylist (see reference link below), but do not know how to implement it on REFER. As the incoming dial-peer for refer is Dial-Peer 0.

Can someone guide?

Hi Pranav, 

Did you try to consume REFER in the GW and passthrough the unsupported header?

voice service voip

 no supplementary-service sip refer
 sip
  pass-thru headers unsupp

This should send a new INVITE (REFER consumption) from GW to CUCM with the custom header added.
