CNVNewVariable() argument is invalid

[David_Lee]

Just such a syntax : "CNVNewVariable("\\\\localhost\\cnvtest.exe", "mycnv");" it always report error. which argument is wrong?

By the way, may I need open the TCP port 59110 before using the network variable?

The wrong parameter is possibly the network variable path, which is not the name of the executable but the one you have created either programmatically with CNVNewProcess or in the iteractive application.

Hi Roberto,

I use the following code:

char process[] = "mymcnvtest"; 

int main ()

{

    char path[256];

    CNVNewProcess(process);
    CNVStartProcess (process);
    strcpy(path, "\\\\192.168.0.62\\");
    strcat(path, process);
    CNVNewVariable(path, "mycnv");
    CNVDeleteProcess (process);
...

}

the CNVNewVariable() still report the argument is invalid error.

The first argument to CNVNewProcess is a machine relative path - meaning, you do not specify the machine's name or IP address but rather, <process>\<folder>\<sub-folder>\<sub-sub-folder>\<etc>.

So, in your example, the call would be:

    CNVNewVariable(process, "mycnv");

Now it is working. Thanks Mohan.
