Occasionally, when using the Import or Export feature of
wIntegrate, errors can occur in the communications process. Sometimes,
pausing the processes and re-initiating the process is all it takes to
resolve/overcome the communications errors encountered. At other times,
the hand-shaking between the two systems just seems out of whack. One
thing that may resolve this communication issue between the DataFlo
server and the source/destination system is to adjust the block size
transmission rate between the systems.
To access this feature of wIntegrate, click on the Setup
menu and then select the Communications... menu item.
This will display the following dialog window:
On this dialog window, click on the Setup button to bring up the pop-up
screen below:
On this dialog window, click on the Advanced Tab. The field we are
interested in is the Transmit Block Size. The default for this field is
a value of zero. A zero value specifies the fastest possible
transmission, with no restriction on the number of characters in each
block. When any other value is entered here, that value is used to
indicate the number of bytes to transmit at a time. The larger the
number, the faster the communication will be.
The next time you have a time-out or error in
transmission, go to this field, put in a non-zero
value and then re-transmit the data. Try a value of
128 for instance and see if that takes care of your
transmission issue.
wIntegrate provides an amazing level of control and
numerous options. This tip should help when data is
trying to move too fast!
Can’t you just hear that tune in the background…?
“Slow down, you move too fast – got to make the
morning last…”
Happy Communicating!
