Problem Description


1327


Socket connection attempts from SimulationRTS to rtsController blocks the toolset.


Full Description

If the toolset times out for an external layer socket connection attempt and displays an error dialog of:

"Cannot open socket connection to external Layer Service master.",

this may be signalling the user that the toolset has run out of file descriptors (the default is 64 per process on Unix). The External Layer Service requires one file descriptor per registration name.

The workaround is to procede as follows:

  • exit the toolset,
  • change the default file descriptor limit (the Cshell "limit' command), and
  • restart the session.
