NR Client and two instances of Girder?

[danward79]

Hi all,

I have an NR client, which has some commands on it, for Girder. At the moment the behaviour of girder is split between two girder instances.

An I right in thinking, if you have too events in girder the same, it will action the first instance of girder in NR?

Happy Xmas when it comes!

Are these 2 instances both using the same port?

To support multiple Girder instances, you would need to change the plugin instance ID part of the action.

If you have this code (bold is the plugin instance id)

5001 0000 0000 0002 ffff 0000 0001

You'd have to change the plugin instance ID to the 2nd instance ID. Let's say the 2nd instance ID is -1001, it would be :

5001 0000 0000 0002 fc18 0000 0001

The plugin ID is in hex-decimal form. If you're unfamiliar with decimal -> hex decimal conversion, here's a quick way to do it (for this particular need).

1] Open the windows calculator.
2] Switch to scientific mode (View\Scientific).
3] Make sure Dec is set ( left selection of 4 values )
4] Enter 65536 - [plugin id] (in this case, 65536-1001 = 64536)
5] Now hit the radio button next to Hex. (in this case, fc18 is shown)

Please note that this seems super complex (entering the ID into the action in Tonto), but will -not be needed- once the new designer is out.

Thanks!

Aha! Which leads to the natural question: When will that come out of the closet? (Sorry, been watching too much Queer makeover here...)

Thanks Ben,

So basically I have to config which girder it goes to.
