Hello all,
I was joking about the voodoo chants when I first posted but several
days later and little progress made I am now seriously willing to consider
any chants anyone knows.
on a more serious note does anyone know if it's possible to "talk" directly
to a uvrpc daemon? (uniobjects) I know you can with smtp and other socket
programs if you know the language/syntax, so I think it should be possible
with uvrpc ("uniobjects"). Any suggestions/ideas on how (if possible) to do
this would be appreciated!
What we are seeing are users (who are ALL using the EXACT same VB 6 program)
having problems with writes and receiving back corrupted data (to a universe
database using uniobjects). We have turned on logging in uniobjects but I
am having some trouble reading the log files (its hard to tell if the
corruption is coming to uniobjects or from universe). We have tested the
universe programs that the VB app. calls and they work exactly as they
should. We have tested the VB 6 apps and they too appear to be working as
expected (but obviously something is wrong)/ We have
tested/checked/rebooted the entire network (to include the aix machine).
What is throwing me is that if the basic program does not find a match to
whatever was passed to it, it returns null but sometimes we get back garbage
to the VB app, which to me means that the basic program got a valid value
and returned a valid response that somewhere in the chain got corrupted.
We have even done an iptrace on the aix box to see what it gets/sends as
well as on the windows PC(s) but sadly I am not able to fully comprehend
what I am seeing.
If anyone is willing (and this is asking a lot, so please forgive me) to
look at an iptrace I would be incredibly grateful! I have two trace files,
1. one from a windows PC that was not able to edit an order
2. one that logged all the traffic coming/going to the aix machine on the
uvrpc port
any suggestions/chants/thoughts would be extremely welcome!
I hope all this makes sense, if not this is what working 96+ hours in the
last 7 days does to you
thanks again
dougc

This, I think, will fall into the Voodoo Chant school of hopeful wishing
... but the message number looks vaguely familiar to me. Do you know
which line of your code is returning your error? What happens if the
code just retries the read?
The problem I'm thinking of that we had was our program talking to Word.
Word would "go to sleep" and you'd get an error looking a bit like that.
Retry, Word would have woken up, and it was fine 2nd time. Try trapping
the error and retrying, and see what happens...
Cheers,
Wol
