Hi,

I'm new in using AGENT++ 3.4, I thought I read the documentation but one point is still not clear for me is the use  of  start_synch() .... end_synch() .

I wanted to know how works the ThreadManager start_synch()  method.
Does it woks  like in Java  that is to say all resources accessed  beetween start_synch()   and end_synch()  are locked and reserved by the Thread which is using them and these resouces are release after the bloc or does is works by doing a copy  of  the resouces what permit other Threads to process requests  which came during the execution of the  start_synch() .... end_synch()  block.
 
my question is because in my code  while updating an EntryView in a table even if I use this block or not I have no error and everything seems to be OK
 
see my exemple :

....
.....
....
 
 while(fgets(myFileLine,512,iFlowFile)
          && not_time_to_stop(stopEventToMonitor))
    {
      start_synch ();
   sscanf(myFileLine,"%[^|]%c%[^|]%c%[^|]%c%[^|]%c%[^|]%c%[^|]%c%[^|]%c%s",id,&c1,from,&c2,to,&c3,protocol,&c4,application,&c5,direction,&c6,upstream,&c7,downstream);

      std::string crNetobs = std::string(repositoryName) + "/" + IPM_REPOSITORY_LEVEL + "/cr_";

      std::string agtFile = crNetobs + id + ".netobs";

      toAdd = FALSE;

      if(file_is_modified_since(agtFile.c_str(), tmpTmpLastAgtDataUpdate[atoi(id)]))
      {
        time(&tmpTmpLastAgtDataUpdate[atoi(id)]);
        get_netobs_qos_values(cnb,ipnb,opnb,ibnb,obnb,md,ad,xd,id,repositoryName,IPM_REPOSITORY_LEVEL,lastreading,toAdd);
      }

        o=Oidx::from_string(OctetStr(from),TRUE);
    o+=Oidx::from_string(OctetStr(to),TRUE);
    o+=Oidx::from_string(OctetStr(protocol),TRUE);
    o+=Oidx::from_string(OctetStr(application),TRUE);
    o+=Oidx::from_string(OctetStr(direction),TRUE);
    o+=Oidx::from_string(OctetStr(upstream),TRUE);
    o+=Oidx::from_string(OctetStr(downstream),TRUE);

     if(toAdd)
   {
        myRow = find_index(o);
        if(myRow == NULL)
        {
          myRow = add_row(o);
        }
    
    set_row (myRow,
     from,
     to,
     protocol,
     application,
     direction,
     upstream,
     downstream,
     strtoul(cnb,0,10),
     strtoul(ipnb,0,10),
     strtoul(opnb,0,10),
     strtoul(ibnb,0,10),
     strtoul(obnb,0,10),
     strtoul(md,0,10),
     strtoul(ad,0,10),
     strtoul(xd,0,10),
     strtoul(id,0,10));
   }
      else
      {
        remove_row(o);
      }
      end_synch ();
  }
....
....
....
