Documentation

The connection between a Python^® client and a MATLAB^® Production Server™ instance is encapsulated in a matlab.production_server.client.MWHttpClient object. You use the constructor to instantiate the connection between the client and the server.

The MWHttpClient() constructor has the following signature:

The constructor has the following arguments:

• url — URL of the server instance to which the client connects. The URL must contain the port number of the server instance.

  Note:   The URL contains only the host name and port information of the server instance.

• timeout_ms — Amount of time, in milliseconds, that the client waits for a response before timing out.

  The default time-out interval is two minutes.

Note:   The MWHttpClient object is not thread-safe. If you are developing a multithreaded application, create a new MWHttpClient object for each thread.

Create a Default Connection

To create a default connection, provide a value for the server instance URL. The timeout_ms argument has a default value, so you do not need to specify a time. This code sample shows how to connect to server instance on a host named mps_host using the default time-out of two minutes.

import matlab
from production_server import client 

my_client = client.MWHttpClient("http://mps_host:9910")

Configure the Connection Time Out

You specify the connection time out by providing a value for the timeout_ms argument. This code sample specifies a time-out of one minute.

import matlab
from production_server import client 

my_client = client.MWHttpClient("http://mps_host:9910",timeout_ms=60000)
