Stopping and starting connection

[bjorn.rudolfsson]

Hi all,

I'm trying to stop an active connection and then start a new one
using RGenericAgent, and I've run into problems.
Stopping seems to work fine, but then when I try to start it again,
using StartOutgoing() it fails with KErrInUse.
I've tried everything I can think of, including getting progress
nofications, waiting with User::After, closing the agent and
opening it again. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas anyone?
Any help at all would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Bjorn

Hi,

I've got exactly the same problem.

It seems that if you close the current connection through Tools/Connection Manger, switching to another IAP is possible afterwards.

Have you found a code-wise solution to this ?

Hmm, this was quite a while ago, but I did find a solution for it. If I remember correctly this was caused by a known error in the Series60 platform. The solution was that when/if you get KErrInUse you simply have to try and call StartOutgoing again, and the second time it works. I simply added a retry mechanism to my RunL. If I got KErrInUse during connection stage I simply called StartOutgoing again. As far as I remember that solved the problem.

Hope this helps.

Thanks man,

that code strip is actually included in the application, but I solved the problem by completely reinitialising the phone.

I must have thrown the CommsDB into some kind of secondary state. too much tempering I guess.

Well,

moved over from WinCE to Symbian. New platform, new problems, new challenge. Trying to get a finalized product out as soon as we can right now.

How about yourself ? Still chewing on those tobacco bags ?

[bjorn.rudolfsson]

Yeah, there are a lot of things to get used to when switching to Symbian.

Nope, quit the tobacco in february, also got engaged and am getting married this summer :-)

Cheers,

Hi,
after some deep device logging it seems really that there is a problem if one wants to 'reuse' a new RGenericAgent for the current thread on Series60,v1.2 devices.
But a 'reuse' is not necessary.
One RGenericAgent is enough for the whole lifetime of your thread. In my case I open,stop & close the instance in the 'Server.cpp' .
Keep care that you 'wait' for the response of the StartOutgoing before you use the socket(s).
