Hi All
Would someone shed some light for setting up the timeout when using HConnect... as I wanna keep alive as longest as possible when the screen with remoting HConnection remains idling?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

I never used it with HFsql but you can try using WD Connection Timeout or WD Command Timeout in the optional connection information

Hi, does your connection "sleep" after say a 1 minute idle ? This seems to be new to v20 ... They actually fixed a 'bug" (I reported it) in v20 C/S, where when a user lost connection to the C/S HFSQ, in the middle of a transaction, the C/S engine would not recover automatically. Fixing the above bug, introduced (I think) another issue. If your user is idle for a minute or so, it takes a long time to do any kind of file access after the user "wakes up" the app.
I bypassed the problem with a simple procedure in my main window: Timer(RefreshNotify,2000) where RefreshNotify just reads my licence file (HF file)
The settings Paulo refered to didn't make a difference in my situation

Steven
I do a menu and call for a HConnect each time for openchild windows then I leave it for less than 3 mins and it popups a reconnection windows asking me to click OK to reconnect, I know it doesn't make sense to me, but what can I do and I did this "WD Connection Timeout=6000" as exteneded param of HDescribeConn..., with no hopes, it looks pretty constant.
Of course, I can quit and re-enter the wd app, I have no clue at all. Timer might not work while entering data at the time the timer triggers to reconnect and I will lose all data before saving it to hfSql.
Is it a bug???
Needs some further help.
Thx in advance
Cheers

King,
that does not look as a WD problem to me. I can have an application open, with a connection to spearate hfsql server, whole day or even longer. The connection remains active even if I don't do anything at all.
I suspect it is security setting in the router or firewall, which kills the connection after some idle time. In that case the keep-alive trick mentioned by Steven will work |

Hi Arie, are you sure you are using HF C/S version 20 ? It does not happen with Classic HF files or with HF C/S versions prior to v20, on my internal network. I can reproduce it, but since I don't think of it as a bug - rather a feature, since it catches ALL orphan transactions now - I am NOT complaining

Hi King, the timer will work just fine and you will NOT lose any data when it fires up ... I have a licence file that has just ONE Record and I use a HReadSeekfirst in a timer to read it every 2000 hundredths of a second.
It doesnt do any damage to your users ongoing work.
Its also a solution if your nics/network cards are GREEN or (on Save Power mode) - it really is very difficult to control your users installations.

Yes, it could be the adsl-router->wifiBridge-Router and w/s firefall issue. I'll try out directly to adsl-router at home instead.
The wifi key might alter occasionally to prevent intrusion and they are all in wifi-ac instead of wifi-n but it never happens when using wd/wb15-->17 with wifi-n (app stays all day long without reset at all) and somehow when upgrading to 19 then to 20, things happened, all settings remained the same and I thought those usb wifi-n were old then to wifi-ac with no hope at all.
Any tricks to overcome are welcome.
Anyway, thx all.
Cheers

Just have a test on remote logon is OK and I leave it idling on for more than 20 mins and still have response by clicking the mouse.
Strange..., not the firewall and routers...
No clue??

Same here using WD18 on client/server HFSQL. Server is Ubuntu at a datacentre. Losing connection after 2 min, reconnect window does reconnect. Thought it also has to do with server settings. Thx for pointing out Timer function. Will give it a try. |

Yes Timer(RefreshNotify,2000) works as workaround
Thx Steven Sitas
Cheers

ps. 'wish if pcSoft could let us suppress a popup dialog asking to RECONNECT as it shows real IP+port# and will let us to give some more params to do the settings. I did tweak the router and it works a charm for remote login as idling for a whole day with no connection lost indeed. |
