Problem to connect with OPC Server opc.sinumerik.machineswitch using DS_Open

Hi,
I want to connect to an Siemens OPC server type opc.sinumerik.machineswitch using DS_Open calls (CVI 6.0) to read few tags. Running my client software (as well as the NI- sample test client) locally on the same computer as the server the connection works and I can access the tags.
Running the client-software on a remote PC then the DS_Open call "hangs-up" (not even an error message). All the DCOM settings etc should be ok, since I can access the tags using the Siemens Client OPC-Scout as test client.
I have used the same calls in several previous applications and it works with other servers (Bachmann, WinCC), so I am pretty sure that I use the correct URLS etc.
What can be the reason for a specific incompatibility?
Any idea is highly appreciated.
Cheers,
Ronald

Hi Roland,
as experience shows, Remote DataSocket is hard to implement.
The best way to implement this communication is the following:
First of all, check the DCOM -Settings
Using OPC via DCOM with Windows XP
http://www.opcfoundation.org/DownloadFile.aspx?RI=326
Use the “NI-OPC Server” to create a tunnel between the Siemens OPC server and your PC.
Install the NI-OPC Server on your PC and use the “OPC DA Client Driver” to access the tags on the Siemens OPC server.
After that you can access the created tags in the NI-OPC Server with CVI and DataSocket.
Please download the NI OPC Servers Evaluation-Version to test communication.

  • PROBLEM ON CONNECTING WITH THE SERVER FOR THE FIRST TIME

    Hi all,
    I'm using a upload and view concept using JSP & STRUTS.
    Now i'm able to upload the files.
    The problem is for viewing it.
    In this context what i did is that, the files which are uploaded to the server will be listed in the listbox and one of the file has to be selected to view and the view button is to be clicked.
    the problem is that,
    the client who needs to view the file has to login to our server once and have to access the file
    after that the client is able to view the file.
    we are using windows 2003 server
    netbeans 6.0
    apache tomcat 6.0.14
    struts 2.0
    microsoft excel file (uploading files)
    Open office Excel (uploading files)
    internet explorer( browser)

    hi,
    Im getting PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED page. If i'm trying to acces the file in the server.
    but if i manually login to the server by //xx.xx.xx.xx and by providing password and accessing once, the IE is showing
    the file.
    Please help.

    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

  • HT1414 Since updating to iso6.0 I have had problems with my email exchange account syncing correctly - I keeps loosing connection with the server.

    Since updating to iso6.0 I have had problems with my email exchange account syncing correctly - I keeps loosing connection with the server.

    Are you losing the connection to iTunes on the iPad or the computer? You are saying that iTunes is updated. Of course iTunes is updated when you update the iOS software. That's a no brainer.
    If you mean that iTunes is updated on the computer, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with downloading and updating apps on the iPad itself so changing the date on the iPad, signing in and out of the stores on the iPad .... Doing any of that on the iPad would have nothing to do with iTunes on your computer.
    If .... you have not been able to connect to the iTunes or app stores at all on the iPad - try this ...
    Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If you can't connect at all - you can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

  • Connection with a server or service is lost

    I have small network setup with Mac OS X as the server and around 6 clients (mix of PC's and Mac's) authenticating from OD on the server. Since last week I am getting this strange error from server admin "Connection with the server or service is lost. Contact the n/w administrator or try log on again.". I get this error message every morning and none of the server features can be accessed including the log in to the network which fails on all the machines. Everything will work fine when I reboot the server.
    So, I wanted to know what is causing this problem & how to go abt fixing it?

    I can confidently rule out the possibility of an intruder interfering with the network.
    Who said "intruder"?
    So there is no malware on the local client and server boxes, nor on any printers, nor on any WiFi widgets or managed switches or other network infrastructure, and there are no unauthorized wired or wireless connections? That's a very rare achievement. Congrats; most excellent work! (It's probably not malware, though; it's more likely some authorized activity or authorized person and not malware. Though yes, it could be malware.
    As for the disconnection here...
    This could be building cleaning crew borrowing an electric outlet for some of their cleaning equipment. Unplug router, plug in the cleaning equipment, clean, plug router back in, leave. Or some helpful security guards shutting off a power switch or a breaker as part of the nightly rounds, or any number of other variations, too. A vacuum cleaner running across a damaged network cable, or a glitch or sag or transient caused by a high-demand electric device changing its power state.
    Find out which widget (router, switch, firewall, whatever) is involved and work from there.
    Also look for traffic spikes and other such; for odd network traffic patterns.
    Scheduled reboots of network devices or such?
    Hardware problems?
    Also look for time-out programs and idle activity monitors and related; these are rare on Mac boxes, but have been seen in other environments, and have been seen on various network servers.

  • Internet Download error message: the connection with the server has been reset

    With an WRT54GS v6 firmware v 1.50.9 on Windows XP SP2 with Internet Explorer 7, Intel wireless internal adaptor w/ 802.11b,  I was getting the error message "The connection with the server has been reset" when downloading most anything from the Internet.  My IP address would then be reset and download would be interrupted.  To resolve, I turned off the WZC (Wireless Zero Configuration) Services, and this seems to correct the problem.

  • "No connectivity with the server" error for one document but not the other, in the same document library

    We have a number of users all of a sudden getting "No connectivity with the server.  The file 'xxx' can't be opened because the server couldn't be contacted." errors trying to open MS Office docs (Word, Excel, etc.) in SharePoint with IE,
    just by clicking the link and selecting the "Read Only" option.  If they select the "Check Out and Edit" option, they can open the document no problem.  One of my customers gets the error on one document but not the other, in
    the same document library!  The older document (a weekly report) was copied and renamed as per standard procedure.  She can read the older document, but not the new one.
    It is definitely a profile issue, as other people have logged onto the machines of the users with problems and do not get the error.  We have also renamed people's c:\user profile folders and the corresponding Profilelist registry entry and the newly
    created profile does not experience the error for these people.  Renaming the profile back restores all their personal settings but the error reappears.  When we copied the old profile's folder structure into the new profile, many of the user settings
    were restored (but not all, like Dreamweaver settings) but the error did not appear.  We think that the system folders files (like AppData) weren't totally copied over so we're going to run another test using xcopy.  We are rebooting between
    logons to make sure all files are unlocked.
    The laptops and computers are mainly 32bit, Win7 Enterprise running IE9 and Office 2010 Professional Plus, but there's a few 64bit machines as well. The SharePoint farm has 1 WFE, 1 App Server running search and CA, and a shared database server running SQL
    2005 SP4.  SharePoint is 64bit MOSS 2007 with the latest CU.
    We've checked the logs on the client as well as on the server and there aren't any helpful entries.  We've also run Process Monitor, also with no helpful entries.  We're planning to run something like Fiddler next.
    It's not everyone, because there are many people are accessing the SharePoint system and the same files.  It is also not a permission thing, as we've tested by giving the users elevated permissions with no changes.  One person experiencing
    the errors is a Site Collection Admin.  That same person ran a test where I coped a simple Excel file into a Document Library which contained a problem file.  They were able to open it Read Only no problems that day, but the next day, the same
    file gave them an error.   In their case, they usually get a "xxx is not checked out" error and only occasionally get the "No connectivity with the server" error.
    We've tried lots of things including:
    Deleting IE cache
    Deleting SharePoint Drafts and webcache folder contents
    Running IE without add-ons
    Upgrading and Downgrading IE
    Uninstalling and re-installing IE
    Reinstalling our SSL certs
    Repairing Office
    Removing and then adding back in the Microsoft Office "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support" Office Tool 
    Deleting all HKLM and HKLU Office registry settings
    Toggling IE Compatibility Settings
    Toggling the IE Automatic Logon option
    Toggling the location of checked out files
    Adding the site in the trusted sites list
    Adding the site to the WebClient\Parameters registry locations
    Making sure the WebClient service is started
    Rebooting the machine (lol :)
    This is becoming a serious issue, not just because of the inconvenience for the users having to check out every document they want to read, but we have some files with macros that open up other documents to run which are now failing.  There aren't
    "check out" workarounds for some of those macros.
    We're planning to open a ticket with Microsoft, but I'm throwing it out here first in case someone has run into this before, or may have some suggestions on what to try next.  Thanks!
    -Richard.
    PS  I think this needs to be in the "General" forum instead?

    It took three days of dedicated troubleshooting, but I have found the cause of the errors, and a couple of fixes.  It helped tremendously that my own machine was throwing the error.  I have scheduled a couple of users to work with me to test the
    various fixes, to see which one works best, so the story isn't over yet.
    I had backed up my c:\users profile folder and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList registry key so I could restore my profile after I was done.  I made a copy of the profile folder and was using that for awhile,
    but then made another copy where I had deleted a lot of content out of it so that the copies would go faster.  Since a newly created profile did not have errors, I was trying to copy back as much of the profile as possible to make it easier for our users
    to get back to work.  Instead of blowing away their profile and starting from scratch (which we know worked) I wanted to narrow down what was causing the error and just skip that from the restore.  The concept was to keep as much as the users profile
    in tact (application settings, etc.) not just restoring their desktop and My Documents folders.
    When we first tested a few weeks ago, simply copying the folder contents didn't reproduce the error.  I then tried xcopy, but got the "can't read file" error.  Then I tried robocopy, and ran into the "junction" problem. 
    I went back to xcopy, and found that placing the excludes.txt file in the windows/system32 folder eliminated the error.
    So the process went as follows: 
    Reboot and log into the machine as another user
    Delete the profile and associated registry key
    Reboot and log into the machine as the affected user, creating a new profile, and there is no error
    Reboot and log in as the other user
    xcopy the contents of the skinned-down backed-up profile to the newly created profile
    Reboot and log in as the affected user, and the error occurs
    Repeat the above, but add items in the excludes.txt file to see what, when eliminated, causes the error not to appear in the last step
    I eventually found that skipping the c:\users\<profile folder>\appdata\local\Microsoft\office\14.0 folder allowed the entire profile to be copied over without the error occurring.  That was strange, because we've cleaned out the cache folders
    before which didn't fix the issue. 
    So I went about it the opposite way, and tried to delete the 14.0 folder from the restored profile, and after reboot, the error still occurred.
    What eventually worked was deleting the 14.0 folder and copying over a 14.0 folder from a newly created profile!
    One way to do this was to:
    Reboot and log in as another user
    Rename the c:\users profile folder
    Rename the appropriate [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList] registry key
    Reboot and log in as the affected user, confirm that there is no error
    Reboot and log in as the other user
    Copy the C:\Users\<profile folder>\AppData\Local\microsoft\Office\14.0 folder to the other user's desktop
    Delete new profile folder, and rename the backup to be the production folder
    Delete the C:\Users\<profile folder>\AppData\Local\microsoft\Office\14.0 folder and then paste the 14.0 copy from the desktop
    Reboot and log in as the affected user, confirm that there is no error
    We've tried this on a couple machines and it works.  I had to run Windows Explorer as Administrator to access the other profile's folders.
    We've also successfully copied a 14.0 folder created by one profile on one affected computer over another profile's folder on another computer, eliminating the error, so we're trying that first, as that is fewer steps.
    We may attempt to script this, but the self-help instructions are only 5 lines long:
    Reboot and log into the affected computer with another account
    Go to <link to location of 14.0 folder on network> and copy the 14.0 folder
    Run Windows Explorer as Administrator
    Go to c:\users\<profile folder>\appdata\local\microsoft\office and delete the 14.0 folder, and paste the copied 14.0 folder (trying to overwrite it makes Win7 want to merge the folders)
    Reboot and log into your normal account, and confirm the error is gone
    I'll come back and report after we go into the field with this fix, but after the few tests, I am cautiously optimistic that this is it.

  • I have a ipad mini and it says that it has perect wifi yet when i go into safari it says unable to connect with the server how can i fix this?

    I have a ipad mini and i have had it for less then a year, it says that i have perfect wifi up in the left corner where the wifi is always at  but when ever i go into the built in safari it says that it is unable to connect with the server. How can i fix this because with out it connecting to the server or internet it is kind of useless to me. I do have ios7 if that helps

    The wifi symbol only indicates the presence/signal strength of wifi. Not that you are connected.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
