        for(var i=0 ;i<arguments.length; ++i){
            lr.message( 'arg[' + i + '] type: ' + typeof arguments[i] + ' =' + arguments[i]);

    function Action()
    {

        var handle1 = vtc.connect('123.123.123.123', 8888, vtc.VTOPT_KEEP_ALIVE);
        lr.message('handle1: '+ handle1.handle + ' handle2: ' + handle2.handle);

        if(handle2.handle!==0){
            handle2.createColumn('CID_2', callback );
            handle2.updateMessage('CID_2', 1, 'bbbb', callback );

            handle1.columnSize('CID_1', callback );
            handle1.queryColumn('CID_1', 1, callback );
            handle1.rotateRow(vtc.VTSEND_SAME_ROW, callback );
            handle1.queryRow(1, callback );
            handle1.rotateMessage('CID_1', vtc.VTSEND_SAME_ROW, callback );
            handle1.rotateMessages1('CustomerID,CompanyName', ',', vtc.VTSEND_SAME_ROW, callback );
            handle1.clearColumn('CID_1', callback );
            handle1.getLastError( callback );
            handle1.disconnect( callback );
