Request to hopen a handle fails; includes message from OS

 

Your code is trying to open a handle to a process listening on port 5001 but one is not available.

Thank you for reply.

Does that mean the port is not available to be listened to?

How can I find out which ports can be chosen in this case?

It doesn’t necessarily mean that the port is not available, but that there is currently no process listening on it.

If you are expecting a server to be running on that port, you might want to check what’s up with it - it might be crashing or hanging in an error trap, not reaching the point where it opens the port.

If you are just experimenting, you first need to start a second q process with the command line parameters -p 5001 which will make it listen on that port.

Right, you’re right

Before using the hopen command, it is necessary to open the port listening with the \p command:

\p 5001       /system[“p 5001”]       /q.exe -p 5001

hopen 5001

Now work

Thank you to all for answer
