SharmIPC not working within a service
Sheol83 opened this issue · comments
Hello,
to me it looks like SharmIPC won't work when the implementation is run as a service. I usually have a project with the implementation, accompanied by a console project (for testing) and the service project. Normally the first started console project registers as a MASTER and the second console project as a SLAVE. When running these projects as a service they don't seem to know each other. Both of them register as MASTER and they can't communicate. Is there any solution to this?
Try to setup "Global/mySharmIpcName"
//from here https://github.com/hhblaze/SharmIPC
unique name must start from the prefix "Global/" to make communication available
for processes executed by different OS users
Okay, I've tried that but the client process still logs:
"tiesky.com.SharmIpc: Master of Global/GetCurveWithDate"
Is there maybe anything I need to consider when running the SharmIpc host as s service?
Try also under other user account (than the client account) (with "/Global") and let me know. I think this should definitely work. We got one such service running under Administrator account and many clients started under different credentials. Problem can b LocalSystemAccount
Thank you for your support so for!
Our services are always running under a specific user. So normally I would assume my services are in the same scope and should be able recognize each other?
What is the best practice for hosting it as a service? Currently I have put it in a "ServiceHost" instance which is normally used for WCF services. So I guess this is not the ideal way of doing this? Maybe the connection is closed immediately after creation so the client is in fact the only "master"?
var serviceHost = new SmartIpcServiceHost(); // This host class creates the "SharmIpc" instances and contains the event handlers
_host = new ServiceHost(serviceHost);
_host.Open();
Have no idea about best practice...it's just MemoryMappedFiles inside and inter-process mutexes.
What is about just 2 console applications test and current release version, does it run in your environment (under that user who hosts the service)?
btw, I have just published newest version 1.12, make other test with this one, please
It works now! I'm not absolutely sure why but maybe because of the new version. Thanks a lot! :-)
Very well!
