Dear Michael Davidsaver.

 

Thank you for your quick reply.

 > By adding the function (ca_context_create(ca_enable_preemptive_callback)) you mentioned, the execution result and the following error message occur.

The error "preemptive callback required ..." means that a call to
`ca_context_create(ca_enable_preemptive_callback)` is needed.

"dbContext" is the code behind "local CA" links.  This is a shortcut
which allows the CA server and client of an IOC to talk to each other
without actually going over the network.

This code only supports libca in the newer preemptive mode.
