Communicating the Client Process with server

[Accessing citadel database using excel m]

when we control a server process pot it reflects the values in client process too, but when we control client process pot, it never reflects the changing values in server process. we have tried it with all the functions(increment, value, enable, reset, decrement, resetvalue, visible, verify) of a pot. Its very urgent for us as we have to implement it in our process as soon as possible, we tried your support cell through phone but they were unable to solve this problem.

What you are looking for is a remote connection. When using Edit Connection, you are only creating a one way connection: it reads the value from the server. To be able to update the value on the server, and also be able to see changes from other sources (such as another client connected) you need a two-way connection. This is done through a remote connection.
Take a Pot object for example, right click on it in Object Explorer and choose Properties. In the dialog there is a section for Position source. You want to change it to be remote and then specify the source.

For more information on Remote connections see Chapter 5 of the Lookout Developer's Manual. In the Lookout 5.1 Developers Manual look on page 5-7 (Choosing a Source Position for Control Objects
) and page 5-29 (Connecting Clients to a Server).
