TeleSoft's RiscADA and RPC's

TeleSoft's RiscADA and RPC's

[KR AWCZUK victor]

Hi,

	I was wondering if anyone in Ada-land is using TeleSoft's
RiscADA compiler on a Sun Sparc (SunOS 4.1.3) *and* is using
TeleSoft's AdaLan LAN product, specifically AdaLan's RPC facility, in
conjunction with the TeleSoft RiscAda.  I don't know if it's just me
or what, but if I write a very simple multitasking client program and
have both tasks send RPC's (both tasks are in a loop issuing RPC's) to
the same server, the server usually starts hogging the CPU after about
3 minutes of reliable service.  In general, I have found AdaLan to be
quite unpredictable when incorporating Adalan-based RPC's into a
multi-tasking client.  In fact, AdaLan comes with an example program
that demonstrates how to write the client (stub and application) and
server code when the client is multi-tasking.  Even this "canned"
example (slightly modified to send a steady stream of RPC's to the
server) didn't perform up to expectations; the server started hogging
the CPU after about 3 minutes for no apparent reason.

	My main goal is (or was :-) to use the RISCAda compiler with
TeleLan and a TeleSoft Motif GUI builder called "TeleUSE."  Problems
only multiply when TeleUSE is brought into the picture.  The good
folks at TeleSoft assured me that some of their customers use these
three products together with success.  Has anybody had any luck with
the combination of these three products?  Inquiring minds would love
to know!!
