When does Communication Manager insert the shortcut flag during call processing?

Question

Options

• ADuring the termination phase (imsterm) of call processing
• BDuring the origination phase (imsorig) of call processing
• CDuring the initialization phase (imsinit) of call processing
• DDuring the dialing analysis phase (imsdialana) of call processing

• A
  88% (30)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  6% (2)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option A is correct because Communication Manager inserts the shortcut flag during imsterm (the termination phase), which handles the incoming call leg at the destination endpoint - this is where CM sets the flag to signal that certain processing steps can be skipped on subsequent passes, optimizing efficiency.

Option B (imsorig) is wrong because the origination phase handles the outgoing side of a call, where the calling party initiates the connection - shortcut logic isn't applied here. Option C (imsinit) is wrong because initialization is a one-time setup phase that runs at system startup, not during active call processing. Option D (imsdialana) is wrong because dialing analysis focuses on interpreting dialed digits to route the call, not on flagging processing shortcuts.

Memory tip: Think "Terminate = Tag" - when the call terminates (lands) at a destination, CM tags it with the shortcut flag to speed up any re-processing of that call leg.
