  • 1.  DashBoard button task not working after update?

    Posted 08-08-2019 04:43

    Have recently moved up from DB 8.3 to 8.6, a few buttons that have multiple SEQO tasks no longer work correctly. Some tasks trigger, some do not. These buttons have around 50-60 SEQO tasks on them. Is there a limit on the number of tasks?

     

     

    Cheers

    There is no limit on the number of tasks.   Can you copy and paste the ogscript from one of the tasks here?

    Hi Tom.

    This issue appears to be a change in DashBoard to send multiple RossTalk messages using the same connection for all tasks in a panel instead of in individual TCP/IP Connections for each one - this was changed in 8.4 to avoid overwhelming the device with too many connection requests and to guarantee the order of the messages. 

    It has recently been discovered that this change can cause the messages to hit a size limitation on the XPression's receiver side. An update to XPression will resolve the issue - adding pause messages every few (5 or so) tasks to wait a few hundred milliseconds would work around the issue.
