Error Conditions

In the case one or the other session cease to live, for example if the server is not responding, or the connection dropped, the attempted transfers will fail, and you will see a notification in the status bar.

Recover Runs

If Catia is closed, or if the focused Catia model has changed, any attempt to transfer or refresh will fail. The solution is to reopen Catia and use the reload button from the Catia source panel in the adapter main window or disconnect and re- connect using the appropriate button in the same panel.

If the E-TM-10-25 server is not responding, you will notice it when attempting transfer in this direction or if you try to refresh the session. You might want to reconnect to the COMET® server the way you connect the first time. If there is any pending transfer to E-TM-10-25, you can attempt them, but you will most likely have to cancel the transfer is any error are raised.

Error Messages

The following messages can be displayed in the status bar or in the Catia data source panel:

  • “Catia is not available”.
    • Meaning that no running instance of Catia has been found. If you started the adapter with administrator privileges, Catia must also be run under the same privileges.
  • “COMException”
    • Any kind of COMException means that something went wrong on the Catia side. It can happen for example when trying to connect to a running instance of Catia that has no model loaded.
