Thanks. Now I am getting scan response data. Thanks. I haven't printed a log other than the advertising response.that's why I am not getting a response. But now it's all done. Getting all scan response.

Thanks Kenneth.

Are you sure that the peer have scan response data?

Maybe an nRF sniffer log of the actual on-air data could help for comparison.

Best regards,
Kenneth

Thanks for your reply. I have tried this structure. in both case I received

p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.params.adv_report.type.scan_response = 0

The p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.params.adv_report.type.scan_response will tell whether the received advertisement report is a scan response or not. So you typically will receive two BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT if there is a scan response available, e.g.:

if(p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.params.adv_report.type.scan_response == 0)
//This is an advertisement packet

if(p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.params.adv_report.type.scan_response == 1)
//This is an scan response packet
