Hi Phil,

<< If not I'll have to look into using Indy (ahhhh). >>

If you are using RAD Studio XE2 then you also get a full version of IP*Works, which you can download from your EDN account.  

I have been using it with the IP Multicasting protocol to send messages between client applications and a server so that's another option you could look at besides UDP or TCP/IP.

Steve

Thanks Roy and Steve for your suggestions.

I'm using C++ Builder XE (not had the need to move to XE2 for now) so I can't get IP*Works and I'm not sure about Synapse as I've never used them and I'm trying to steer away from any learning curve. But I will if the Messaging doesn't appear in the next version.

It's just nice if I cant keep it all under one roof so to speak. One less thing to have to worry about and keep updated / implemented in future versions of the this project.

Thanks again,

Phil.

Phil,

<< I'm wondering if I should be looking at an alternative way to get a
message layer happening between a client / server or should I just hold in
there for the Messaging layer for general messaging notifications and
broadcasts with the ElevateDB server? >>

Just to confirm - are you talking about the user-defined request handling in
the EDB Server like DBISAM has, or the async messaging and notifications ?
I'm assuming it's the latter, but you recently asked about the former, so
I'm just making sure.

Sorry Tim, I got in a muddle, I'm still refering to the Server Procedure so my client and server applications can communicate like the following example using DBISAM...

void __fastcall TMainForm::ServerEngineServerProcedure(TObject *Sender,
     TDBISAMSession *ServerSession, const AnsiString ProcedureName)
{
 int LicenseCommand;

 if (AnsiCompareText(ProcedureName,"LicenseProcedure") == 0)
 {
   LicenseCommand = ServerSession->RemoteParams->ParamByName("LicenseCommand")->AsInteger;
   ServerSession->RemoteParams->Clear();

etc etc  ............

Good, because that's easy, whereas the notification stuff isn't so easy.

Cool thanks Tim, glad it was the easier one to do

Hi Tim,

I just wanted to touch base and see if we are any closer to having the
Server Procedure equivelant in ElevateDB...

I'm Currently moving a 2nd software product from DBISAM over to
ElevateDB so in effect we will be upgrading all our customers who these
products from DBISAM to ElevateDB and they are both client / server
products and use the Server Procedure for some time critical features to
import external data from PABX phone systems as dictated by the client
program.

Any news would be helpful,

Thanks again,

Phil.

Yep, it's done (and has been done for a while now), and I should be able to
roll out a new minor release for EDB soon.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.
