Working with pmon.ctl

[tobias_raab]

Hi everybody,

I like to start / stop managers using pmon.ctl or just using the tcpOpen / Write / Read commands but I can't make it work.

Using the pmon.ctl functions always results in error messages like variable "gTcpFileDescriptor" not defined or "gTcpFifo", etc..
Am I missing a libary/script containing those globals or am i doing something utterly wrong?

If i do it manually with tcpOpen / write then just nothing happens at all.

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

Try to define two variables in your script, although they are not used:

int gTcpFileDescriptor,gTcpFileDescriptor2;

Cheers,
Emanuel

[eivanovic]

sorry... and also:
string gTcpFifo

Is it possible to connect to a remote pmon using tcpOpen/tcpWrite in v3.14 with the multiplexing proxy running?

We experience the tcpOpen command timing out when it attempts to connect to the pmon on the remote machine.

The Multiplexing Proxy is used for the encryption of TCP messages between WinCC OA managers, e.g. for a remote UI connected to the Data and Event Manager.
The process monitor WCCILpmon is not using the encryption via the Proxy manager.

Due to security reasons in standard configuration accessing the process monitor from a remote machine is not possible.
You have to enable the access from remote machines before you can communicate with the process monitor.
