I have made a modification to my production application to access an AWS database instance to gather remote data and integrate it. When I attempt to connect to a database and instantiate a DB object on my block diagram to manage that connection -- done through 3rd party LabVIEW developers' SAPHIR GDatabase MySQL toolkit -- it says it has issues resolving the hostname. This is only an issue when deployed to the cRIO and running from there; it works fine when deployed over My Computer with its WiFi connection.
Will this cRIO reject communication with WAN/internet IPs or hostnames if a gateway or DNS is not specified? I have read on some threads in the past, as well as experienced on my own, some very long bootup delays if a gateway or DNS (not sure which causes it) is specified and cannot be found. While my gateway/DNS is always found at the same IP, I would hate for something to become unreliable.
I am assuming I will have to specify a DNS server to navigate whatever issue is causing the VI to not be able to resolve the hostname in its current format. There are more than 2 "." in the hostname preceding the domain portion, i.e. "cluster1.cluster-123.us-east-2.rds.amazonaws.com". Can I specify my gateway, located at the same address, as the DNS server and just not fill out the gateway address, or will it flat out refuse to communicate otherwise?
The obvious issue here is my lack of knowledge on how this is transcribed into embedded Linux as far as managing the NIC goes, so I do appreciate any advice.
Dev box: LV 2015 Professional on Win7 SP1
cRIO: NI RT/RIO 2015
Thanks
