Input - acceptSerializedProduct

 

Description

Accepts incoming serialized products from another iPAM with a corresponding putSerializedProduct DIM. When a connection is made, the incoming input stream is deserialized and the products are injected asynchronously into the receiving iPAM.  Unlike the limitations of sending products (<64K) over UDP as with the putUDP DIM, this agent can send products of any conceivable size.

 

Configuration Variables

listenPort
The port number to listen on for incoming serialized products.

 

Product

Product is the same as that built by the sending putSerializedProduct DIM. Any FileRefs contained in the product are converted to local FileRefs.

 

How it works

Waits for a serialized data stream.  When a connection is made the incoming stream is decompressed and deserialized. If the resulting object is a product then it is injected into the system, otherwise it is dropped.
