OPENDACS API .NET question regarding usage collection

We’ve used the OpenDACS Api in both JAVA & .NET. The Java version works well, however, for the .NET version we don’t see any usage data collected in the dacs.usage file like we do for other apps. Would an expert be able to take a look at the code & let me know if there is anything missing please?

Hello @adam.martin,

The code looks about right to me.

However, if usage file is not being updated, where you would expect it, I would go back to basics:

  • Are you connecting to a local daemon or remote?
  • Verify that the path to the usage file is existing, no typos, and permissioned to the user executing (if in doubt, permission everybody for full control, and once all working, then go back to the required perms).
  • If it's a local daemon and local usage file, testing is easier:
    • Restart the daemon, make sure it is healthy and starts writing the file, makes a startup entry
    • Instead of custom client, run the client that came with your SDK, such as DACSSubscribeClient
    • Make sure the entry is created
    • Compare to your code, and if still can not figure the difference, as it can be subtle, build up from the working DACSSubscribeClient up, to your custom requirements
  • If it's a shared remote daemon, still I would test with standard example .Net client that came with SDK, such as DACSSubscribeClient and make sure you generate usages on that first, then compare to the custom client and try to figure out the difference, only restarting it and making sure that it writes usage on startup may not be in your control in this case.

Hope this helps

  • Are you connecting to a local daemon or remote? - remote dacs.snkd being used, same one as the Java component is using.
  • Verify that the path to the usage file is existing, no typos, and permissioned to the user executing (if in doubt, permission everybody for full control, and once all working, then go back to the required perms). - usage file is updating with usage data from other components. I also see the user Login success, but no usage. Could this be something to do with the DACSLOCK?
  • If it's a local daemon and local usage file, testing is easier:
    • Restart the daemon, make sure it is healthy and starts writing the file, makes a startup entry
    • Instead of custom client, run the client that came with your SDK, such as DACSSubscribeClient
    • Make sure the entry is created
    • Compare to your code, and if still can not figure the difference, as it can be subtle, build up from the working DACSSubscribeClient up, to your custom requirements - will try this
  • If it's a shared remote daemon, still I would test with standard example .Net client that came with SDK, such as DACSSubscribeClient and make sure you generate usages on that first, then compare to the custom client and try to figure out the difference, only restarting it and making sure that it writes usage on startup may not be in your control in this case. - Will try this

Hello @adam.martin,

If you mean the libraries, dacslock dlls, if there is any doubt would obtain from a clean SDK download and re-test.

If you mean locks in the items? Don't think so either, as you are mentioning that Java client is creating usages on them properly, I would not expect anything is off with the dacslocks in the items.
