Input - acceptUDP

 

Description

Accepts incoming UDP packets from another PAM. Deserializes them, and injects the products asynchronously into the receiving PAM. Due to the nature of UDP communication receipt of the packet is not guranteed. The entire "send transaction" must fit in a single UDP packet.

 

Configuration Variables

listenPort
The port number to listen on for incoming UDP packets.

 

Product

Deserializes the data contained inside the UDP packet.  If the data is a product it will be injected into the system.  If the data is a dictionary object it will be restored.  All other data is dropped.

 

How it works

Waits for a UDP packet.  When a packet is received it is deserialized.  If the resulting object is a dictionary it is restored.  If the object is a product it is injected into the system.  All other data is dropped.
