Dyalog RIDE can connect to running interpreter sessions, but in order for that to work, is there a way to tell an already running session that it should start listening to incoming connections?
I know I can start a new session with the following environment variable set:
RIDE_INIT="serve::4502"
and it’ll listen.
>Solution :
There are two steps to accomplishing this. Since the interpreter wasn’t started with RIDE_INIT="serve::4502", we need to set this initialisation string. After that, we’ll need to actually start listening for an incoming connection. Both of these are accomplished using the 3502⌶ function (called Manage RIDE Connections):
3502⌶'serve::4502' ⍝ set initialisation string
3502⌶1 ⍝ start listening
We can combine both into a single step by mapping the function over an array of these two values:
3502⌶¨'serve::4502' 1
