Omnis Data Bridge Client-side connection management

Posted by Kon K on October 22, 2022 at 3:30 pm

I have a legacy desktop Omnis app that opens data files via the Data Bridge (performance be damned).

In a situation where the ODB closes the connection (say due to a timeout when a laptop is closed for 5 min), is there way to check on the client side if that’s what has occurred?

When this happens, the client practically locks up. I scoured the docs for any notation api or event or command to check for the odb:// connection state but found nothing.

Does anyone know of a reasonable solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Kon,

what Omnis version and what ODB version are you using?

Best,

Andreas

Latest and greatest: 10.22 and 1.78 respectively.

Our app itself has recently been migrated from Omnis 5 but that probably has no impact.

Any hints would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Kon,

I would not recommend running the ODB server on a laptop machine for exactly this reason. As it is a server it supposed to stay available for the clients.

I hope this helps.

Best,

Andreas

  But as far as you know, there is no way to detect this kind of event (dropped ODB connection) in the client-side code, correct?
