TCP Tasks

The TCP Task can be used to send data over TCP.

Remarks

The TCP Task can be used to send data over TCP.

TCP Send Adapter

The TCP Send Adapter provides a light-weight TCP client. To begin Server and Port must be specified.

Specify the data to be sent in DataToSend. Upon execution the task will connect to the server and send DataToSend. The adapter will then wait for the server to signal the end of the response by looking for ExpectedResponse in the returned value. When detected the execution will complete and the response will be available in the Response property.

Additional scripting properties BeforeSend and AfterSend provide additional flexibility allowing any number of commands and operations to be performed.
