requestFileTransfer()

The function requestFileTransfer() requests a list of files from the data manager of the active partner in a redundant project. The files are transferred from the active to passive partner. Start a CTRL script with the function requestFileTransfer() on the passive partner. Start the script with the options: -data [hostname] -event [hostname] via a CTRL manager in the WinCC OA console. Enter the host name of the active computer for -data and -event. The function does not wait until the transfer is finished. To see if the files are still transferred, use the function getPendingFileTransferCount().

main()
{
  int iSysId;
  char iReduNr;
  int iReduManId = convManIdToInt(DB_MAN, 0, iSysId, iReduNr); //Data manager of
the redu partner
  DebugN("Manager ID:", iReduManId);
  dyn_string fileList = makeDynString("panels/panel1.pnl");
  DebugTN("File transferred:",requestFileTransfer(iReduManId, fileList));
  int pendingFilesCount;
  do
  {
    //A file cannot be copied if the redu partner is passive
      pendingFilesCount = getPendingFileTransferCount();
      DebugTN("getPendingFileTransferCount=" + pendingFilesCount);
  }
  while(pendingFilesCount > 0);
