ADSISSERVERLOADED?

[Mike Draper]

Using the ADS RDD, I want to know if the Advantage Database Server is loaded
or I should use the local server. I tried the statement:
if adsisserverloaded(diskname() + ':' + curdir()) == 0
It always returns 0 even if the server is running on the current drive.
request _ads
REQUEST ADSKEYCOUNT, ADSKEYNO, ADSGETRELKEYPOS, ADSSETRELKEYPOS
rddRegister('ads', 1)
rddsetdefault('ADS')
rdd2use('ADS')
if adsisserverloaded(diskname() + ':' + curdir()) == 0
set server local
aservtype('Local')
else
set server remote
aservtype('Remote')
endif
If I change the 'if(adsserverloaded...' to == 99 to force it to use the
server, I get an Advantage error 6313 (Connection error) when I try to open
the 1st table.
It does work in the Advantage 'local' mode.
What should I do?

Mike,
Use the DataControls to do some tests: AdsDataSource, DbfDataSet and
DBBrowse.

That works to identify the existence of the Advantage Server. Thanks.
What is the name of the 'rdd' (as in 'USE tablename VIA rdd') for Advantage
DBF/CDX/FPT type tables? There is too much code using 'SELECT tablealias'
to convert to dataset terminology.

Mike,
There is no difference when using Xailer to access to a Advantage database
file than without Xailer. I really do not know what you are doing wrong. The
VIA clause is 'ADS' as usual.

Mike,
Try to make a small sample that opens the table with DataControls and RUN
IT. If it does work on design time but not on run time then you may have a
problem with your advantage libraries.

My fault as usual.
My small sample worked of course with what seemed like exactly the same
code.
The thing that was different is I had the Advantage DLLs in the big project
folder and not in the sample test. Unfortunately (meaning stupidly by me)
the Advantage dlls in the project folder were for Advantage 7.1 and I am
running Advantage 7.0.
I replaced the DLLs and everything is fine.
Thanks for your help.

I spoke too soon.
Everything is fine as long as the Advantage Server is running. If I stop
the service, the program does not know what to do except fail when it tries
to open the first DBF.
How do I tell if the Advantage Database server is running?
The TAdsDataSouce believes what every I tell it.

Mike,
Check property nServerType: asDEFAULT should first try to connect with the
remote server, if it fails it will try with the local server.
It maybe necessary that you make a real connection to the ADS server using
data dictionary (function ADSConnect60). Consult xHarbour documentation for
further information.

With xHarbour.com xBuikl:
request _ads
if adsisserverloaded(diskname() + ':' + curdir()) == 0
set server local
aservtype('Local')
else
set server remote
aservtype('Remote')
endif
rddRegister('ads', 1)
rddsetdefault('ADS')
rdd2use('ADS')
does the job of determining the type of connection available and making it
work.
