I have changed the event program in SYSEXSXS to create a work file. I have a program which does a _connect, _process, _commit, _disconnect. No work files are being created, neither are there any trace records other than sxsstoretofile. I would have expected a record to be created for the _connect, _commit and _disconnect. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

My program looks like this:
define data
parameter using sxsev-a
object using sxsnat-o
local
1 #filename(a100)
end-define

added by pjf
* Open/create this file and write the document into it.
compress ‘G:\TEMP\tamino\event’ sxsev-a.state Time ‘.txt’ into #filename
leaving no
define work file 3 #filename type “unformatted”
write work file 3 variable sxsev-a.state
close work file 3
end of pjf additions
sxsev-a.rc := 0
*
end

Hi Priscilla

There is some information I’d like to have to help you.

First of all: Server Extension event functions are only called when another function of the same Server Extension Object has been called before. Same object means: same Server Extension and same session.

So you can never get any _connect event. And _commit/_disconnect are only raised when the event function is part of the same Server Extension Package.

Here are the relevant snippets from my program:
DEFINE WORK FILE 1 “G:\TaminoSXS\employee10000000.xml”
READ WORK FILE 1 RECORD WORK-IN
COMPRESS work-xml-in WORK-IN INTO work-XML-IN LEAVING NO
END-WORK
* --------------------------------------------------- GET WEATHER DATA
#commandverb := ‘_connect’
perform request-doc
#data := work-xml-in
#commandverb := ‘_process’
perform request-doc
#data := ‘'
#commandverb := ‘_commit’
perform request-doc
#data := '’
#commandverb := ‘_disconnect’
perform request-doc

* --------------------------------------
define subroutine request-doc
* --------------------------------------
if #commandverb ne ‘_connect’
compress #DATA ‘&_sessionid=’ #sessionid ‘&_sessionkey=’ #sessionkey
into #data_plus_session leaving no
else
#data_plus_session := ''
end-if

REQUEST DOCUMENT FROM URL
WITH DATA NAME #commandverb VALUE #data_plus_session
RETURN
HEADER NAME ‘HTTP-Statustext’ VALUE HTTP-STATUS-TEXT
PAGE XML-IN
RESPONSE HTTP-STATUS

IF HTTP-STATUS = 200 THEN
… use the XML toolkit parser
END-SUBROUTINE

if XML_PARSER_XPATH = ‘ino:response/@ino:sessionid’
#sessionid := XML_Parser_content
write ‘=’ #sessionid
else
if XML_PARSER_XPATH = ‘ino:response/@ino:sessionkey’
#sessionkey := XML_Parser_content
write ‘=’ #sessionkey

end-if
end-if

The _process is using the SXS extension, so I would have assumed there should be an event triggered.

Another question - if one just does a straight _process, which implies ending the session should the event be triggered then, or is it only when there is a _connect, _process, _commit?

Thanks… Priscilla
