Re: ExgMgr: Bluetooth works but IR beaming doesn't

[Miguel Angel Sotomayor Hernandez]

I've solved my problem.

The problem happens when sending more than 64KB of data. It works fine 
when sending over bluetooth. When using IR, there is no error using 
ExgSend, but, something happens and data is sent incomplete.

What I did is sending in chunks of 64KB, instead of trying to send 
everything. It now works fine on both, IR and bluetooth.

I hope this helps someone facing the same problem

Hi all,
I'm using Exchange Manager to share some data between two palms. I'm 
having this problem:

I'm using "?_beam;_btobex:" as a prefix in the name of the "file" to 
be sent so users can choose amongst beaming using IR or sending using 
only bluetooth (no sms or mail or anything else). When I select 
bluetooth it works just fine, sending "files" up to a few Kb. When I 
select beaming using IR the information is incomplete. The only 
difference is what I choose in the dialog (Beaming or Bluetooth). As 
you can see, this error doesn't depend on my application, but the 
exchange manager.

Does anyone know the reason of this behavior? should I use another 
prefix for IR beaming (while still preserving bluetooth)? why chosing 
ir beaming sends incomplete information while chosing bluetooth sends 
it complete?

Here is my function:

Err EnviaDatosDispositivo(Char *dbName, void *buffer, UInt32 tam){
   ExgSocketType exgSocket;
   Err error;
   Char name[51];
     MemSet(&exgSocket, sizeof(exgSocket), 0);
   StrCopy(name, "?_beam;_btobex:"); // only works when using bluetooth
   //StrCopy(name, "_beam:");
   StrCat(name, dbName);
   StrCat(name, ".");
   StrCat(name, libExtensionReportes);
     exgSocket.description="Reporte Storecheck";
   exgSocket.name=name;

     error = ExgPut(&exgSocket);
     if(!error){
                  while(!error && (tam>0)){
                 UInt32 bytesEnviados = ExgSend(&exgSocket, buffer, 
tam ,&error);
           tam -= bytesEnviados;
           buffer = buffer + bytesEnviados;
                 }
       if(error)
           FrmAlert(ConexionAlert);
       error = ExgDisconnect(&exgSocket, error);
             if(error)
           FrmAlert(ConexionAlert);


   }

   return error;

}

Thanks in advance

Miguel
