Hi again, I got the logging function working - inspired by the code you linked to, but I think there is a bug - maybe an infinite loop, becuase I get "The AR System Plug-In server is not responding. Cannot connect to the system at this time. Contact your AR System Administrator for assistance. : RPC: Timed out (ARERR 8939)." after a while, and it stops after the first call to my logging function.
Is there a way to attach a debugger like GDB/DBX to Remedy to be able to debug the plugin? Observe that the ARS6.3 server is not the same machine as the one i'm running my C development environment on.

You just need to get the value of the pointer and make it globally available so that you can call the function from within your code. There are a number of other undocumented functions that I found that are interesting too, such as AR_PLUGIN_PROP_GETUSER_FUNCTION, which returns the username, password, auth string, etc. of the calling user. These other functions are not documented anywhere, but they are outlined in the header files.

I have had a few difficulties with the development of an ARDBC plugin. I am trying to update an existing code, but without much luck. I started off compiling the code, and verifying that I could see the plugin in the list of available vendor names when creating new vendor tables - that went fine. I then selected the vendor name, selected a table, and was presented with a long list of nothing. I've spent a lot of time trying to discover the best way to debug the driver, ending up with making sure that the following was appended to the ar.cfg: Plugin-Log-Level: 400 # guess - not sure whether it makes a difference Debug-mode: 131072 # see ConfigGuide-630.pdf for debug-mode. # 131072 : ARPLUGIN logging I now get a lot of information about the plugins being loaded, eg: ARDBC Plug-In Loaded: BEC.ARDBC.TDIV0310 version 2 ARPluginSetProperties undefined ARPluginInitialization defined ARPluginTermination defined ARPluginCreateInstance defined ARPluginDeleteInstance defined ARPluginEvent undefined ARDBCCreateEntry defined ARDBCGetEntry defined ARDBCSetEntry defined ARDBCDeleteEntry defined ARDBCGetEntryBLOB defined ARDBCGetListEntryWithFields defined ARDBCGetEntryStatistics defined ARDBCCommitTransaction defined ARDBCRollbackTransaction defined ARDBCGetListSchemas defined ARDBCGetMultipleFields defined As well as information about when the plugin's functions are being called, which is nice and neat. Now I am having trouble with Remedy administrator starting to hang after I select vendor tables in the create vendor form dialog. The AR System Plug-In server is not responding. Cannot connect to the system at this time. Contact your AR System Administrator for assistance. : RPC: Timed out (ARERR 8939). I've tried to follow the sparse guides on how to write to the arplugin.log, but I am having a spot of trouble getting my head round the ARPluginSetProperties implementation needed - I find the available documentation a bit sparse. A point in the right direction is much appreciated. I'm using the C API, and coding for 6.03 on a windows platform. (we're in the midst of migrating to 7.5, but need to get this corrected for 6.03 anyway) Thanks in advance.
