vrf To_From sockets Timeout

Question asked by VRFuser on Dec 12, 2007

Thanks Stan,

In fact, I make a ping to the machine before to execute a To/From socket box, but sometimes the server closes the socket associated with my communication port, in those cases, the server replies to the ping, but VEE is blocked... Has anyone had this kind of problem?

In any case, I think that part of your reply clarifies the situation ("Since you are running into network timeouts-- something that is beyond the control of VEE - ...)

Regards,

David.

Since you are running into network timeouts-- something that is beyond the control of VEE - I'd suggest that before you try connecting to the socket you ping the machine to make sure that it is available. That can be done very quickly.

A simple approach is EXECUTE PROGRAM with
  cmd /C -n 1 -w 1 x.x.x.x  > pingResults.txt

followed by a FROM FILE that reads in the result file and checks to see what happened.

This would of course sit in your program before trying to attach to the socket. It would add a second or two to yoru program ( once ) but would get around the timeouts

regards

Stan
