Has it been so long since I programmed LabVIEW that I forgot some basic stuff??
I have a main VI which originally called dynamic processes in parallel.
I then called the sub-vi's dirtectly and still run them in parallel, but thwey now have seperate names.
I use a QSM. Each parallel thread now has it's own QSM, because although I was using a Queue Name for each dynamic queue, the data that was being extracted was shared or done between the two threads. If I confused everyone with the statement, I shall explain.
Two parallel processes, calling a QSM (re-entrant). They have the same number of elements and matching sets.
EX:
Process 1 Process 2
Task1 Task1
Task2 Task2
Task3 Task3
Task4 Task4
Task5 Task5
Task6 Task6
I was expecting each thread (each process) to extract from the queue the list of tasks as entered (from Task1 to Task6). What the processes were getting was the following:
Process 1 Process 2
Task1 Task1
Task2 Task3
Task4 Task5
Task6 default
Each Process was sending a different Queue Name to the QSM. Each queue should have it's own name.
I need to get this running by tomorrow with no excuse! So I decided to do a lame workaround by also having 2 QSMs. That fixed it..
In each parallel process (which are a copy of each other with different names) there is a call to open a telnet session. I probed and placed breakpoints in the code. Although each process has a different name and the call to the function that opens the telnet session is re-entrant, the very same telnet reference number is assigned to both processes.
Why? Why would they get the same reference number? I made all vi's down to (and including) Telnet Open Connection as re-entrant (although it was not needed) and it still assigns the same reference number to each telnet session. Why? What I am not seeing? What am I missing?
Unfortunately, I cannot post the code.. But it is not complicated code. Just 2 sessions with different IP addresses. I would expect different telnet session references...
As a matter of fact, I need to try something silly..
