Hi,
I am trying the new multi threads feature from IDS CS6 (contra using multiple instances).
But I seem unable to start several sessions from the same client.
I do have a machine with 4 core processors (even a multi-instances license), so I should be able to start 4 sessions in parallel.
I start a single IDS instance with SOAP on port 12345.
Using SoapUI:
- I make a call to "BeginSession": it returns successfully (for example sessionID 2)
- If I make a second call to "BeginSession", it returns a SOAP fault telling me that the call is already part of a session...
- If I make a third call, it returns successfully (sessionID 3)
- And so on, every second call will fail
- Furthermore, it seems that the failing call triggers the end of the previous session, because I am unable to call EndSession after that. It would explain why every second call will succeed.
- if I call BeginSession, then EndSession, BeginSession, EndSession... it works without problem.
I also tried using two different clients running from two different computers, against the same InDesign Server:
- Call BeginSession from client 1: success
- Call BeginSession from client 2: success
- Call EndSession from client 1: success
- Call EndSession from client 2: success
- If a client tries to open a two sessions in a row (without callind EndSession on the first one), it fails as I described in the first case above.
- If a client tries to close the session opened by the other client, I get a SOAP fault too.
So in conclusion, are we limited to open only one session per client???
Does IDS CS6 retain information on which client opened which session, and then ensure to have a maximum of one session per client?
This is a big problem, as I want a unique controller opening the sessions and running all server script calls... It should definitely need to open several sessions in parallel, else there would be no point in using multi-sessions instead of multi-instances.
Thanks for your help,
Martin
