Thread Connections Being Dropped.

A customer using my application is experiencing disconnections that
can occur every few minutes to every few hours.  All of the clients
disconnect at the same time, which tends to suggest that either the
server is dropping the connections or something other than the client
end is causing it.  KeepConnections is set to True.

The customer is sending me the trace file so I can see if there's
anything strange in there.  No other customers have reported this
problem.

Any ideas?

Delphi 7
DBISAM 4.24 Build 1

Thanks.

Actually, KeepConnections doesn't have anything to do with C/S connections
directly.  It's just a way of specifying that sessions should keep all
database connections around until the session is closed.

As for the problem you're seeing - my guess would be faulty hardware or a
firewall issue, or someone at the site is stopping the database server.

I ran into an issue where the server was installed under a login account
(not as a service) and when that person logged out, or was logged out by a
screensaver, the server blipped off.

Hi Tim,

Sorry, been swamped for the last few days with work so I've only just
had a chance now to read the newsgroups.

Ah, ok, I didn't realise that.  I thought it was some sort of "keep
alive" signal to the server.

Thanks.  I'll get them to check it out.

Thanks Johnnie, I hadn't thought of that.
