sockets

[Ed Hilovsky]

That is fine for the user count. Count *clerk or *report. But these are
sockets. I close them, they are not being used. Why can't I use it again ?
That isn't what I was told. As you can see below, I was told shutting the
socket down makes it available for someone else. That isn't the case.



In answer to your question, the sockets are sharable just the same as
filePro.  The use of sockets and how long they are tied up is for how ever
long it is waiting for an answer.  Obviously if you are waiting for a
request, the sockets function is active all the time.  If you only are using
it for sending requests and getting a reply and then shutting the socket
down, it usually is very quick and available for someone else.  There is a
command to tell you if the socket request was successful so you can trap it
and loop through until it works.  I would only start with the 6 that you
need (1 dev and 5 rt) and we can easily add more later at the same per unit
price one at a time.

I think you are confusing "process" as in "filePro processing table in a
prc/tok file" with "process" as in "an instance of an executing program,
such as dclerk or rreport".

It is not the executing prc/tok file which is granted the license, but
rather the instance of *clerk/*report executing it.
