The session will not be moved to a different server. That would be a stellar
feature, but it doesn't happen. Not sure what to tell you about the app
losing connectivity. Might be nice to know a little more about what it's
actually doing when it's idle. Run Filemon against it with an active
session, then disconnect the session and see what happens with the file
activity.

Subject: [THIN] Session Disconnect times



When a users session disconnects from a Citrix XP box do their applications
still stay completely active?

 

Here is my issue.

 

XP farm load balanced running on Windows 2003.

 

Each of the 3 XP servers host a gui fron end for a network application
located on a data server on the same physical switch. The application
requires a constant connection to the network share that it is run from.
What seems to be happening is that when a users session disconnects after
the time out the user is able to reconnect and find the application in the
same state it was in when the disconnect happened. However the application
then spits out an error that has lost connection to the data files - there
is a retry or exit button in the application. Clicking retry a few times
re-establishes the connection and the application resumes without problems.

 

In a load balanced environment do disconnected sessions move from one server
to another - for example if a user connects to server 1 then disconnects is
it possible that the session will be resumed on server 2 when they try to
reconnect? If so that would explain the delay in re-establishing the
connection to the data files for the application.

 

I have looked into the server auto disconnecting drives and time limits
usually seen with the red x in my computer.

 

Any thoughts???
