Quit Client Remains Connected to Server


Big Business Server is set by default to wait indefinitely for a Client which is inactive. This provides the highest tolerance for changing network conditions, but it also means that a Client which does not Quit properly is still seen by the Server as connected.

Big Business Server is set by default to wait indefinitely for a Client which is inactive. This provides the highest tolerance for changing network conditions, but it also means that a Client which does not Quit properly is still seen by the Server as connected.

Here are some common causes:

• Client is going to sleep. If you are using laptops, or any machine which Sleeps, it may disconnect itself in a way that doesn’t register on the server. Screen savers do not count as Sleeping, just spinning down the drive.

• Client or network is switching connections. Depending upon the setup, a change may break the connection unexpectedly. Wireless connections may drop and reconnect. Users that are connecting remotely are also susceptible to problems.

To Disconnect a User from Server (without restarting):

1. Click on the User Name to select (highlight).
2. Choose Abort from the Process menu
This will immediately terminate the user. Unsaved data may be lost.
