problem with development

Yes, it could be encrypted, and in that case you should provide correct encryption context. However, if you are not using encryption, you can simple pass NULL.

Thank you, i am going to use the fonction SendFileOverNXCP to send a message to the agent and RecvNXCPMessage to receive a message from the agent.

[ophelie6989]

In fact i am not sure that the fonction SendFileOverNXCP is used to send a message to the agent.

• How can i do to send a message to the agent and to receive it? I have used RecvNXCPMessage but i dont arrive to see the message sent by the agent.
• What are the steps for the sending and the reception of message?

Thank you very much

In general, steps are following:

1. create CSCPMessage object
2. fill it with necessary variables and set correct command code
3. create raw message (CSCP_MESSAGE) vith CSCPMessage::CreateMessage method
4. send raw message to agent as usual
5. receive response using RecvNXCPMessage function
6. create CSCPMessage object from received raw message
7. read variables from message object

Thank you, it was what i had done. I have send to the Agent the code 0x0097 in order to get the server informations. But which variable did i have to read from the message object for having the information about the server?

Thank you very much

You don't need command 0x0097 to read information from agent. You should use CMD_GET_PARAMETER (0x0041) and set name of the parameter to variable VID_PARAMETER (85). Agent will reply with command CMD_REQUEST_COMPLETED (0x001D). First, check variable VID_RCC (28). If it contains 0, then value of requested parameter will be in variable VID_VALUE (21). For example:

CSCPMessage msg;

msg.SetCode(CMD_GET_PARAMETER);
msg.SetId(requestId);
msg.SetVariable(VID_PARAMETER, "Agent.Version");

<send message and get response into CSCPMessage *response>

DWORD rcc = response->GetVariableLong(VID_RCC);
if (rcc == ERR_SUCCESS)
{
  char buffer[256];
  response->GetVariableStr(VID_VALUE, buffer, 256);
  // Now buffer contains value of requested parameter
}

Thank you, i have tried what you told me. For the reception of a message from the agent i have done that:

CSCPMessage *pMsg2=new CSCPMessage(); //classe
  CSCP_MESSAGE *pRawMsg2;//structure
  CSCP_BUFFER *pMsgBuffer;//structure buffer
 
  int iErr;
  TCHAR szBuffer[128];

 
  // Initialize raw message receiving function
  pMsgBuffer = (CSCP_BUFFER *)malloc(sizeof(CSCP_BUFFER));
  RecvNXCPMessage(socketId, pRawMsg2, pMsgBuffer, RECEIVER_BUFFER_SIZE,0,0,0);
 
  // Allocate space for raw message
  pRawMsg2 = (CSCP_MESSAGE *)malloc(RECEIVER_BUFFER_SIZE);
  pMsg2 = new CSCPMessage(pRawMsg2);
 
 
  DWORD rcc = pMsg2->GetVariableLong(VID_RCC);
 
  if (rcc == ERR_SUCCESS)
    {
   
    char buffer[256];
   
      pMsg2->GetVariableStr(VID_VALUE, buffer, 256);
      // Now buffer contains value of requested parameter
     
    int compteur;
        for(compteur=0;compteur<256;compteur++)
        {
     
                     printf("%c\n",buffer[compteur]);
     
                }//fin du for
     
     
    }// fin if

But i always don t managed to read informations. I have done a prinft  to see what informations are in the buffer but when i compiled nothing appeared in the buffer.
What do i have to do in order to see the informations that i received from the Agent

[victor]

You have missed code for actual message reception. Instead of

// Initialize raw message receiving function
pMsgBuffer = (CSCP_BUFFER *)malloc(sizeof(CSCP_BUFFER));
RecvNXCPMessage(socketId, pRawMsg2, pMsgBuffer, RECEIVER_BUFFER_SIZE,0,0,0);

// Allocate space for raw message
pRawMsg2 = (CSCP_MESSAGE *)malloc(RECEIVER_BUFFER_SIZE);
pMsg2 = new CSCPMessage(pRawMsg2);

you should have something like

// Initialize raw message receiving function
pMsgBuffer = (CSCP_BUFFER *)malloc(sizeof(CSCP_BUFFER));
RecvNXCPMessage(0, NULL, pMsgBuffer, RECEIVER_BUFFER_SIZE,0,0,0);

CSCP_ENCRYPTION_CONTEXT *nullContext = NULL;
pRawMsg2 = (CSCP_MESSAGE *)malloc(RECEIVER_BUFFER_SIZE);
RecvNXCPMessage(socketId, pRawMsg2, pMsgBuffer, RECEIVER_BUFFER_SIZE,&nullContext,NULL,0);
pMsg2 = new CSCPMessage(pRawMsg2);

Hi, thank you and Happy New Year!!
I have done what you said to me but the message send from the agent didn t work again.

I have that:
-----------Envoi du message a l agent-----------
code du message : A

-----------Reception du message de l agent-----------
¨

When i send CMD_GETPAREMETER, i receive ".." with the code that i show you previously.

How can i do to see the parameters?

Thank you again

[victor]

Hello!

Did you set VID_PARAMETER variable before sending CMD_GET_PARAMETER request? You should have something like

msg.SetVariable(VID_PARAMETER, "Agent.Version");

before converting message into binary format and sending. Also, check VID_RCC variable in response message - may be it contains error.

Best regards,
Victor
