I am trying ti implement socket adapter in a output acrd as below:

=

VALID(GET("SOCKET","-HOST xx.xx.xx.xx -PORT xxxx -SIZED -T ", "data"), LASTERRORCODE( )+":"+LASTERRORMSG( ))

Is this usage correct?

Technically, it is valid, but ultimately not a lot of use, as with a GET() the content would have to be there at that exact moment in time.

I think what you're trying to do is setup a socket receiver.  This is something you cannot reasonably do using Command Server.

If you were to use the WTX Launcher, and have the input card as a socket with a command line such as:

-HOST 9.81.79.104 -PORT 6000 -MODE server -EOM ### -NEM 1 -QTY 9999999 -T

....and have this set as a source trigger, then you could have the WTX Launcher wait for messages on port 6000, terminated by a ### sequence.

Let me know if this helps with your project.

Thank-you.

Hi Paul

I am trying a synchronous call to a legacy system using socket adapter. Also I cannot use a launcher.

Could you advise me on below?

1) would specifying a LISTEN value help?

2) if i am to run multiple instances of map to the same target would the socket pick up corresponding response?

Thanks

Ah, so the target system is already listening as a server, and by using WTX GET() with the socket adapter, you are attempting to simulate being a client?

The third argument of your GET() is the data you put to the system, and then the result of the rule should be the reply from the socket server?

I have setup a simple socket server, using WTX with the listener set as:

Input 1 (T):    Socket: -HOST 9.83.119.124 -PORT 6000 -MODE server -EOM ### -T+
Output 1   :    Socket: -HOST 9.83.119.124 -PORT 6000

I then used a WTX map rule:

=GET("SOCKET","-TV -HOST 9.83.119.124 -PORT 6000","This is a test###")

...and the map executed correctly, with the output from the server of:

This is the IBM Websphere TX server
You entered :    This is a test

I hope that fully answers your question.

Thank-you.

Paul.
