Hi all ,
Today i trying some interesting topic -"Interprocess Communication-in baan ".but i have doubt in this?
how to possible connect the sender and receiver?
Is that program in 4GL or 3GL ?
then sock.listen(port number)-in this which port number i use?if i use putty port number ,how to connect baan and putty?


Thanks in Advance..

There are two IPC's one @ bshell Level and the Other @ OS Level.. What exactly is your requirement?

Sessions do communicate using bms commands at bshell level

Hi,..Ajesh
Thanks for your reply ..
can you please send any script which was you tried ..??

Is it in this any client and server program separately ?
if yes ,please explain it...in programming level..

Well Anukass, i have used prcm.bms commands ,i.e, one session communicates with other. I am now looking for implementation of these IPC's after your posts...

You can use bms.send and bms.recieve and get the processes talking to each other..What have you tried?

Hi
can you please send sample server and client side program in socket?

I have not done on cross platform, i assume you mean different servers??

Have done on same Server. This is what i have done

On Sending Side



function extern send.bms.commands()
{
long process.id,ret.val

long event(EVTMAXSIZE), bms_id


process.id = activate("gbtstupd.inv")
| ret.val = send.bucket(process.id,"This is a Test Message")
ret.val = bms.send("Sending BMS Message",event,"",process.id)

}



On Receiving Side




choice.bms:
before.choice:
level = 0
received.text = bms.receive$(level,0)
message("String Recieved is %s",received.text)

Hi Ajesh,
process.id = activate("gbtstupd.inv")
In this "gbtstupd.inv" means?then i think both are in different session script right?so which should be execute first ?and how?

Yes, First I am activating the session,gbtstupd.inv and then sending bms command to it.

And then in the gbtstupd.inv , I have written the choice command in which I am receiving the bms command.

Sending and receiving.

Thanks..Ajesh ..
i'm also trying like what you said but i got nothing ..

Please Post your code. Let me have a look.

Hi ..Ajesh
i'm using same logic what you send?
In session1:
choice.print.data:
on.choice:
process.id = activate("tccom9553m000")
ret.val = bms.send("Sending BMS Message",event,"",process.id)

In session2:-tccom9553m000
choice.import:
after.choice:
ret = 0
received.text = bms.receive$(ret,0)
message("String Recieved is %s",received.text)

Thanks in advance..

Hi Anukass

In the receiving side, you need to use like this


choice.bms:
before.choice:
ret = 0
received.text = bms.receive$(ret,0)
message("String Recieved is %s",received.text)


instead of



choice.import:
after.choice:
ret = 0
received.text = bms.receive$(ret,0)
message("String Recieved is %s",received.text)



Also, in the sending side you can check if a process id is generated by looking at the variable,process.id. It should have some integer value.

Hi...it's Working ...
Thanks for your valuable reply..
