NIPING Error

[Former Member]

Hi all

I am trying to run NIPING on my PC to connect to an NIPING on the SAP application server.

niping -c -H cshcrad1.contact-energy.co.nz -L 1000 -S 3280 -B 1000

connect to server o.k.
*** ERROR => bytes_written <> bytes_read (1000, 14) [nixxtst.cpp  1088]

It always keeps coming up with this message.upto a byte zsize of 25K

If I increase the byte size  to 50K, it comes with a different error message

niping -c -H cshcrad1.contact-energy.co.nz -L 1000 -S 3280 -B 50000

connect to server o.k.

*** ERROR => NiTClientLoop: NiTReadLoop (rc=-6) [nixxtst.cpp  2590]

I have the following questions

- Is the message bytes_written <> bytes_read normal? If not what should I do?

- What should I do to fix the failure for the 50K size?

Thanks in advance

It looks like you connected to a dispatcher instead of an niping server.

Did you actually start the niping server using the following command?

> nipng -s -S 3280

If your instance is running on instance number 80 and you want to run an niping test, you have to start the server on another port (default is 3298).

You can also use niping to perform a connection test to the dispatcher. The right call is:

> niping -c -H <servername> -S 3280 -X 6

You get a full list of extended parameters calling:

> niping -X 0
