Datasocket reader: Not permitted to create new items

[TonNg]

Hi,

I am using LabCvi 8 3dSimWriter and 3dSimReader examples.  The writer in on one computer and the reader on another.  Both computers are connected to a local network.  The writer runs first.  When trying to connect the reader to the server using "dstp://MyOtherComputer/3dcont",  I get the error: "Error: Not permitted to create new items" on the reader, and no graph data is displayed. The writer server, however, shows:" Process conneced = 1, Packets received = 13, Packets sent=6".   What did I do wrong?

Also,  does datasocket support bi-directional data?

Thank you,

Ton Ng

You need to configure DataSocket on "MyOtherComputer" with the proper permissions to let other systems access it. Run the Start>>Programs>>National Instruments>>DataSocket>>DataSocket Server Manager program on "MyOtherComputer". In this application, you can create the 3dcont item and give read permission to your reader machine for this item. You could also add your reader machine to the Creators Permission group to allow your reader machine to create items on "MyOtherComputer". But the previous method is better than this because this method allows *any* program to create items on "MyOtherComputer", which may or may not be what you want.
