How many progress session open in my windows OS

[kartikeya.sharm]

hi all,
how can we find number of progress session in windows OS and can we take handle of 2nd progress session ? If possible then how?

A handle is a memory pointer within a session to an 'object'.

It seems to me that you are trying to make some kind of a connection between two sessions. Am I right?
If so then this is not the way to go. If you want the sessions to 'communicate' with each other then you must use other ways:
Look at this KB article:

Casper.

For two sessions on one box, you will probably want to look at sockets, as briefly mentioned in that KB article. But, if you want a more general approach which is cross platform, then look at Sonic.

Thanks tamhas,

Like the KB entry said ... database or (yuck) files.

Database is sensible for very loosely coupled processes with no time constraints, especially if the traffic is one way. E.g., one process creates a report request and then goes off on other work and a reporting process picks up the request and processes it.

Sockets are sensible for more direct coupling between limited number of sessions, e.g., a constantly running server process and a client process which is triggered from time to time such as in response to an EDI message.

Sonic is indicated when there are multiple loosely connected processes, traffic in multiple directions, especially when there are multiple machines and one requires reliable messaging.

Passing files is indicated when you don't care enough to do a quality job.
