Handling XMLRPC exceptions

Technical Questions URScript
1

is it possible to handle an XMLRPC exception in URScript ?

I have a program which makes an XMLRPC call to an external server, but if the server is not available I would like to have a default action and not abort the program. is there a way to catch this exception and handle it in URScript ?

Not really. You could try connecting to it by socket which will return a true or false and then choose to connect to the xmlrpc server based on that result.

Hi there,

is ist still not possible to handle xmlrpc exceptions, e.g. if the server is not available?

I do not really want to connect via a second interface (socket) just to make sure that the server is available.

Thank you!

I have had to just add this same logic in to mine, it seems to work well as the timeout for socket connection is much faster…

def NotifyConnect():
  #Test connection with socket
  TestSocketConnected = socket_open("192.168.1.242", 50042, "Test_XMLRPC")
  if TestSocketConnected:
    socket_close("Test_XMLRPC")
    global XMLRPCConnected = True
    #Connect to XML-RPC Server for notifications / logging.
    global notify = rpc_factory("xmlrpc","http://192.168.1.242:50042/RPC2")
    notify.NotifyMsg("Robot Started.")
  else:
    socket_close("Test_XMLRPC")
    global XMLRPCConnected = False
  end
end
