ReelSrv Icon    The Reel Server Interface provides for communications to the Host System
The Reel Server Application is a Bi-directional, fully buffered communications control application. 
It facilitates requests from the Host system to the Event Processing System (via Reel Track) and the return of the data from Reel Track back to the host system.  In the event that either System is down, the Reel Server application can buffer requests until either system is restored.  All communications in/out of the Reel Server application is done via TCPIP.

The screen below show a typical Reel Server transaction log.

Here you can see the database name that is configured for use, and the TCPIP port definitions used to communicate with the Reel Server application and the connection information regarding the applications that are currently connected to the Reel Server Application.

The Statistics screen, shown below shows the number of transmissions from the host to the Reel Server, from the Reel Server to Reel Track, from Reel Track to the Reel Server and from the Reel Server to the host system.  Any errors in any of the above transmissions is also shown.  The screen below shows all operations have completed normally.
