Hey,

I tried searching Datasocket properties but could not find one that would tell the number of processes. connected via DS. Has anyone else been successful?

Is there a way to read the url's connected to the DataSocket Server programmatically?

Hi Ivan,

What exactly are you trying to do?  Are to trying to programmatically form a URL string, or do you have some other type of connection ID and you are trying to find the URL from the ID?

Also this post is a little old so I am not sure anyone previously on it will answer.

Hi Brian,

I am sorry for not explaining the problem in more detail.
So here is the setup:
I have a dedicated computer running the DataSocket Server, and I have various other computers in the lab accessing the DS Server.
The computer with DS Server also runs a VI that at this moment only publishes information, so that other computers can read the data.

I would like for the other computers in the lab to be able to write certain data to the VI on the DS Server computer.
I can set it up manually by entering all the required IP addresses, but that setup is static and non scalable.
On the other hand, if I was able to programmatically see who is subscribing to my DS Server, I would be able to programmatically publish data to those computers.

Hopefully that explains the problem better.
Thank you in advance for you help.

Hi Ivan,

I have a slight idea.  You could use the system exec VI to run the command "netstat" (assuming a windows OS).  This gives the ports and the foeign addresses open on the server.  I think this will give you enough of the information you need.

Can anyone in the community back me up on this idea?

Hi Brian,

Thank you for a timely reply. That does give me the needed info.

Thanks again.
