Hello,

Program connects and works fine but Error -18 still pops up intermittently.

The Clients and Server runs on Windows XP SP2.

Best regards,

%SQLitening_SendOrReceiveError  = -18 - Error sending or receiving message"

cj

ConnectionTimeOut = Number Minutes --- Control the number of minutes the server will wait to receive a message from an active connection.  Default is 30. Set to -1 if you want to never timeout.

Have you tried setting ConnectionTimeOut to -1  in SqliteningServer.Cfg
Is the server software up to date, size 125,440 bytes?

Don't test here with XP.



Fredrick Ughimi

I have tried using -1 and installed the latest Server. Error still showing. The error pops up more frequently now.

The latest server I downloaded and using is ver 1.53 and its 122kb. Its there a newer version?

No newer version than 1.53 at this time.  10/22/2011

Does error happen on all clients or just one?  Anything unusual in SQLiteningServer.Log?

This error normally means a TCP/Communications/Network problem.

Fredrick Ughimi

It happens on the 3 clients presently in use. Nothing unsual I can see in the Log (well, how would anything usual look like?).

Well, for the past hour or so since I changed the value of CONNECTIONTIMEOUT to -1 the error hasn't poped up. Still watching...

Are you saying there is a problem with the network?

#8
SQLiteningServer.log
111022102117 Dcon #16317 TimeOut

If nothing is sent to server within timeout period error 18's appear (as they should) on client.

Refreshing the FACT does not disconnect clients (which is very cool.) :D
Tried several times while changing timeout.

Fredrick Ughimi

Is there a side effect if you tell the server not to timeout (ConnectionTimeOut=-1)?

Fred or someone else may have to answer this.
When a client ends the server terminates the connection.
My answer is no problem..

QuoteIs there a side effect if you tell the server not to timeout (ConnectionTimeOut=-1)?
Each connection consumes resources at the server (memory/handles/cycles/etc).  If you have a client that connects and then leaves for the day you probable should disconnect it.  It's your call.  If you have a finite number of clients and you have the server resources to have them all connected then no problem.

Fredrick Ughimi

Thank you for the information. Can I set it to one minute? I.e ConnectionTimeOut=60

Per manual:
ConnectionTimeOut = Number Minutes --- Control the number of minutes the server will wait to receive a message from an active connection.  Default is 30. Set to -1 if you want to never timeout.

It is in minutes, not seconds. 
1 = 1 minute (which will force users to send something to the server every 59 seconds or get timed out.)
