isAnswer()

The function isAnswer() checks whether the workFunction() of a dpConnect() is called the first time after the connection was established via dpConnect().

The work function is called as follows:

(1) isAnswer() returns TRUE (otherwise FALSE).

(2) getLastError() returns an errClass with getErrorCode() == 144 (system lost) and getErrorDpName() the system name. The dyn_dyn_anytype is empty.

(3) Only when the  _original.._invalid, _original.._bad, _original.._status,  _online.._invalid, _online.._bad, _online.._status are queried, the getLastError() returns an errClass with getErrorCode() == 144 and getErrorDpName() the system name. _invalid, _bad bits are TRUE , the invalid bits are set for _status, and  _stime is the current time. All other values are dummy values (0, FALSE ).
 

In all other cases the work function is not called.

(4) isRefresh() returns TRUE (otherwise FALSE ).

(5) getLastError() returns an errorClass with getErrorCode() == 157 and getErrorDpName() the system name.

When executing dpQueryConnectSingle()/-All with remote all (a dpQueryConnectSingle or dpQueryConnectAll to all systems), only the first answer that is returned (generally the answer from the own system) will be considered as an answer (first row). All other answers are considered as refresh (system comes or a redundancy switch). This means that the isAnswer() returns TRUE only the first time (and isRefresh() returns FALSE ). Afterwards, the isAnswer() returns FALSE (and isRefresh() TRUE ).
