Closing and Destroying a Probe

Close()

This method closes the socket connection between a probe object and an SS7 stack. You must do this before destroying the probe object.

For details about the syntax, parameters, and return values of the close() method, see the IsupProbe(3) man page.

Destroy()

Only when the probe object has been closed, should you destroy it. After destroying it, the pointer to the destroyed probe object is set to NULL, thus avoiding its subsequent use.

When a probe object is destroyed, its activity object is not automatically destroyed.

For details about the syntax, parameters, and return values of the destroySMProbe and destroyBPProbe() methods, see the IsupMgr(3) man page.

The usual time to destroy a probe object is at application termination. Normally, you do not destroy a probe object during the life of the application.

ISUP::CloseStatus 	        CloseStatus;
ISUP::DestroyStatus       * destroyStatus;
IsupSMProbe * 	            IsupSMProbe;
MyActivityObject *        const anActivityObject= new myActivityObject();
 
closeStatus = isupSMProbe->close();
if (!closeStatus.isOk()){
   cout << “IsupSMProbe:: failure to close Probe /n” << flush;
   cout << “Error =” << closeStatus << “/n” << flush;
   // error recovery
}
 
destroyStatus = isupMgr->destroySMProbe(isupSMProbe);
if (!destroyStatus.isOk()){
   cout << “IsupSMProbe:: failure to destroy Probe /n” << flush;
   cout << “Error = “ << destroyStatus << “/n” << flush;
  // error recovery
}
delete myActivityObject;
