The setup is the following:
I typed in "dstp:///knob" for URL. Selected publish and subscribe. And ran the datasocket server on computer A. Then I typed in the same URL in computer B and selected publish and subscribe. Didn't work. Computer B has a red light next to its control with an error message: "Error: Not permitted to write data item" Basically computer B becomes a subscriber only.
So I opened the datasocket server manager. I changed from localhost to everyhost in the "default writer" group. When I tried running it again, now the error message was, something like, "Error: Can't connect to the item, another writer already exits"
I noticed that if I try to predefine an item in the DSS manager, I hav
e the option to allow multiple writers. And it actually worked. It also works if I run the same setup in a single computer.
How can I change the setting so that multiple writers can control an object?
Thank you
