IsServiceReady

(RPC Manager Library)

Description: Is Primary Server Active for a Service. Only available in VTS 6. This module returns an indication of whether or not the specified server is in synchronization with the server instance. Returns "1" if the local instance is in synchronization with the server instance.

Returns: Boolean

Usage: Steady State or Subroutine call

Format: \RPCManager\IsServiceReady(ServiceName [, OptGUID])

Parameters: ServiceName { text } { required } { no default }

The name by which the service is known.

OptGUID { text } { optional } { default (see note) }

Any optional parameter that provides the GUID of the application in which the service instance is known. The default is the application to which the caller belongs.

Comments: This module is a member of the RPC Manager's Library, and must therefore be prefaced by \RPCManager\, as shown in the "Format" section. If the application you are developing is a script application, the module call must be prefaced by System\RPCManager\, and the System variable must be declared in AppMod.src.

If the 16-byte binary format of the GUID is not known, the GetGUID function may be used to obtain it.
