RPC communication not working

Hi,


I am trying to test the RPC functionality of the bOS server with the postman tool. When I try to send a post request as described in the manual to call a function (please note that the .net test file link at the manual page does not work so I cannot see more detail/examples), I am always getting an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." response. The Any idea what I am doing wrong? RPC is enabled in the server service configuration file.

Thank you in advance

Hello,

Thank you for notifying us about broken link. The RPC demo client can be downloaded here:

Please let us know if you have any more questions.


Best regards,

No. The send notification procedure does not check that.

Ok I will do that, just one more question to help me troubleshoot the issue. Does your internal sendnotification procedure, waits to get an acknowledgement from Apple servers to verify and respond that the notification was send ok or not?

tnx

There might be a problem on your side. We tested it and it works.

Check your firewall settings, use Wireshark and see if the packets are received.

Or try to install bOS server on other machine with clean configuration and test it there.

I have also checked that the config file has the line <add key="EnableRPC" value="True">. As I said, it was working correctly and it just suddenly stopped working without touch anything from my side!

Hello, It seems that it happened before the update... The strange thing is that I am not getting any error message either sending it through the RPC demo program or through the bos config itself. The only thing I remember seeing in the logs some day was something about "The request channel timed out" or similar, has this anything to do with push notifications (one-way communication)?

Hello,

did that happened after you updated your bOS server?

What error message did you get?

Check that you have set "EnableRPC" to true in BOSService.exe.config file.

Hi. The RPC was working without any problems for a couple of months, up until a week ago. Since then, I am unable to send any notification to any of my iOS devices (nothing changed or touched on my end). Is there a problem going on or something to do with the new 4.2.9 update?

Adding apostrophes to the message text was what needed, thank you Tilen!

Hi,

if you are getting "No parameterless constructor defined for this object" message while calling SendNotification, it is probably that you have forgotten to add apostrophes around the message.


Here is the example for sending the notification to Android device from RPC:


If you are having problems with receiving the notification message to your device (not related to RPC), then please open another topic.


Best regards,

Another strange thing with the new build is that if I call the function "SendPush" for the parent "User" object, the server message is then "OK" but again the notification is not presented to the client device...
