Custom Driver GeoScada

Hi,

I have an issue with a new custom driver to retrieve data from EEH. It gives the following error :

My driver is not able to connect to the database. But the database is currently running according to the service manager.

Also, odd thing is that my driver only produced one log file in 20 attempts...

Could you please support me this topic ?

If the database does not contain any of your driver's object types then it won't start. If you run it in debug it will not log anything beyond initialisation.

Hi,

After a fresh and clean GeoScada reinstallation, the driver finally connected to the new created Database. At the end, it appears that the driver was not looking for the right .exe file.

If you have access to the old Registry settings, check how they are configured for the driver. That references the exe file to load. Those log lines suggest however that the exe part is running correctly and cleanly stopping.

"An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine" when connecting to localhost may mean:

1. The server component process failed, in this case Geo SCADA would probably be stopped too

2. Some HIDS type solution is closing the localhost socket

If it were over the network you could use something such as WireShark and look for packets with the reset flag, but with localhost this is much more complex.
