Symptoms

A userinterface that is running over a WAN-connection keeps losing connection after a certain period of time.

The connection is lost for all active users at the same time.


Cause

The following information concerning this error can be found in a "Userinterface-Trace" (with a TCP/IP Trace 3 activated in the uc4config.xml) and the communication process logfile (default location in the temp folder of the "Automation Egine")

Error in the "Userinterface Tracefile":

Resolution

This is not a Automic error, this is an error in the TCP/IP - stack protocolled by Automic.

Automic relies on a stable network connection, the ports used for Automic components must be defined for the one component only, firewall settings must be adjusted to Automic needs. 

The root cause of this problem can only be investigated by the "Network Administrator".

Hint for the root cause of the problem:

The error is a TCP-level connection error that means that the peer unexpectedly disappeared , and we didn't see an orderly shutdown of the connection.
If it always happens after a certain connection length, or after the connection has been idle for a certain period, it's likely that there is a stateful firewall in the way that is dropping the connection after that period.
