---

Decrypt stream

procedure DecryptStream(const Stream: TStream)

Parameters:

• Stream: Stream

---

Controls whether data packets are sent individually or if small packets are held back to send as part of fewer larger data packets. Normally, you will want this disabled as it can have a significant effect on performance. The only time when its worth keeping the property enabled is when there are many small packets to be sent and you need to keep network bandwidth to a minimum.

See more at Nagle's algorithm

property DisableNagle: Boolean read write

---

Sends a request message through the Self channel for processing and gets back an aMessage. CodeGen uses this method when generating a proxy from RODL Files.

procedure Dispatch(aMessage: IROMessage)

Parameters:

• aMessage: (In/out) message data

---

Configures the available fail-over and load balancing options provided by the Remoting SDK. By default, channels are set up to talk to one specific server only. Two independent options are available to provide fail-over and load balancing:

• Enables fail-over support. If the connection to any given server fails, the channel will automatically keep trying the next server specified in ServerLocators, until a working server is found or all servers have been tried.
• Enables load-balancing support. Each request dispatched through the channel will go to a different server configured in ServerLocators, resulting in calls being more or less equally distributed over the available servers.

Enabling any of these options obviously requires the server to be implemented in a stateless way, so that it does not depend on all requests from a client going to the same server. This implies using a class factory different from Per-Client and, if sessions are used, a session manager that allows sharing of session state between servers.

Controls whether to use HTTP Keep-Alive to keep the connection alive between requests.
If enabled (true) , once a request is made and a connection is established, this connection is kept open and used for future requests.
If disabled, the connection is closed, and a new connection is created for future requests.
Since establishing a connection is - relatively speaking - a costly and resource intensive operation for the network, compared to sending small amounts of data, it is recommended to keep this option enabled for optimal performance, if requests to the server are done relatively frequently.
For Keep-Alive to work, the option must be supported and enabled on both client and server.

Fired after stream was encrypted

property OnAfterEncrypt: TROBaseConnectionOperation read write
delegate:  procedure OnAfterEncrypt(Sender: TROBaseConnection; aEncryptedStream: TStream)

---

Fires after the channel is done probing a specific server for availability. You can use this event to check the result of the probing, possibly to update internal data structures or to display server status in the user interface.

property OnAfterProbingServer: TROEndProbeServerEvent read write

---

Fires after the channel is done probing all servers for availability. You can use this event to check the result of the probing, possibly to update internal data structures or to display server status in the user interface.

property OnAfterProbingServers: TROEndProbeServersEvent read write

---

Fires when exception is raised in asynchronous mode

property OnAsyncException: TROAsyncExceptionEvent read write
delegate:  procedure OnAsyncException(Sender: TROTransportChannel; Async: IROAsyncInterface; anException: Exception)

---

Fired before stream will be decrypted

property OnBeforeDecrypt: TROBaseConnectionOperation read write
delegate:  procedure OnBeforeDecrypt(Sender: TROBaseConnection; aEncryptedStream: TStream)

---

Fires before the channel starts probing a specific server for availability. You can use this event to:

• check or adjust the server configuration
• to include/exclude the server from being probed by changing the TROServerLocator property.

property OnBeforeProbingServer: TROBeginProbeServerEvent read write

---

Fires before the channel starts probing all servers for availability. You can use this event:

• to check or adjust the server configurations
• to include/exclude individual server from being probed by changing their TROServerLocator properties.

property OnBeforeProbingServers: TROBeginProbeServersEvent read write

---

Fires if an exception is raised during the execution of a remote request. This could be an exception returned from the server, a communication problem or an error within the client. Depending on the type of error, your event handler can try to rectify the problem, and set aRetry to true to have the channel try and perform the request again. For example, an application could show a dialog asking the user to confirm if his internet connection is available, with Cancel and Retry buttons.
If aRetry is set to true and the call succeeds at the second attempt, the call will return to the original code that initiated the request, as if the exception never happened.

property OnException: TROExceptionEvent read write
delegate:  procedure OnException(Sender: TROTransportChannel; anException: Exception; var aRetry: Boolean)

---

Fires if an EROSessionNotFound (or the descendant SessionNotFoundException) exception is raised during the execution of a remote request. This usually indicates that the server cannot authenticate the client or that the session has expired. The most common use for this event is to perform a call to a special Login service provided by the server (possibly after prompting the user to enter username and password), and to set the aRetry parameter to true if login was successful.

property OnLoginNeeded: TROExceptionEvent read write

---

This event fires as the channel is transferring data for a request or response to or from the server, informing of the current progress. It can be used to keep the user interface updated during lengthy transfers,e.g. by showing a progress bar or the remaining transfer volume. Note: the accuracy and frequency of calls to OnProgress depends on the channel type; since channels transport data packets in different sized chunks (or even all-at-once), OnProgress might show a very fine progress for some channels, while jumping from 0 to 100% in one step with others.

property OnProgress: TProgressEvent read write

---

Fires after a stream with a response message has been received from the server. Use this event handler to inspect and possibly modify the stream, before it continues to be processed by the higher levels of the Remoting SDK framework.

property OnReceiveStream: TStreamDispatch read write

---

Fires just as a stream with a request message will be sent to the server. The event handler can inspect and possibly modify the stream, before it continues to be sent off to the server.

property OnSendStream: TStreamDispatch read write

---

Fires before changing of a server locator.

property OnServerLocatorAssignment: TServerLocatorAssignment read write

---

Checks the accessibility of servers from the ServerLocators. This method is intended to provide fail-over and load balancing support in the Remoting SDK Architecture.

function Probe(aServerLocator: TROServerLocator): Boolean

Parameters:

• aServerLocator: Server locator

---

Checks the availability of all known servers.

procedure ProbeAll

---

Sets at what intervals, in milliseconds, the channel will probe the servers configured in ServerLocators for availability. The default value is 60,000 (60 seconds). See the ProbeServers property for a more detailed description. Although somewhat misnamed, this property defines the Interval between probes, not the actual probing Frequency. The property name is persisted for backward compatibility.

property ProbeFrequency: Cardinal read write

---

Toggles whether the channel will continuously probe the servers configured in ServerLocators for availability. If enabled (true), the channel will ping all servers at a regular interval to determine if they are reachable. If a server fails to respond, it will be disabled for future calls until a later probe can reach it again. The interval between probes can be configured using the ProbeFrequency property. By default, server probing is turned off.

Fires if an exception is raised during the execution of a remote request. This could be an exception returned from the server, a communication problem or an error within the client. Depending on the type of error, your event handler can try to rectify the problem, and set aRetry to true to have the channel try and perform the request again. For example, an application could show a dialog asking the user to confirm if his internet connection is available, with Cancel and Retry buttons.
If aRetry is set to true and the call succeeds at the second attempt, the call will return to the original code that initiated the request, as if the exception never happened.
