Polling M o de
Nevertheless, there is a way to stop the execution interactively before
reaching the target application stop time. See “Controlling the Target
Application” on page 12-13.
If the target application execution finally reaches the stop time and polling
mode execution is stopped, host-target communication will begin functioning
again. However, the host-target communication link might be in a bad state.
If you still get communication error messages after polling mode execution
stops, type the command
xpctargetping
to reset the host-target communication link.
After the communication link is working again, type
tg
to resync the target object on the ho st side with the most current status of
the target application.
Target Screen Does Not Update D uring the Execution of the
Target Application
As with the restriction mentioned above, target screen updating is disabled
during the entire execution of the target application. Using the kernel with
the Enable target scope option enabled (see
xpcexplr GUI) does not work.
You should therefore use the kernel with the Enable target scope property
disabled (text output only). The kernel enabled with text mode actually
provides more information when running in polling mode.
Session Time Does Not Advance During the Execution of the
Target Application
Because all interrupts are disabled during a run, the session time does not
advance. The session time right before a nd after the run is therefore the
same. This is a minor restriction and should not pose a problem.
