When NRPC network connection lost, Notes/Domino need to handle it more quickly

Notes/Domino NRPC connections (on port 1352) are usually persistent. In some environment, Firewall or other devices will kill the connection after it idle for a certain period of time. In such case Notes/Domino is not aware of the connection lost. It will try to re-use the connection with many retries. The retries will take a few minutes until Notes/Domino reports "Network operation did not complete in a reasonable amount of time".

To handle such situation better, please reduce the number of retries, but try to establish a new connection. Or, set the default value of server_session_timeout to a very small number, like 10, so as to close network connections proactively, avoid 3rd party devices cutting the NRPC connections.

      It needs to handle it less serious (avoid crashes) and with less Spinning Wheel Of Death for... Minutes(!) where the Client is completely blocked.

      We get the same problem. Turning on/off a VPN can also cause the client to crash.

      I have same request. This is a client-server issue. Clients do not recover from broken connection -> then window not responding and similar things happen. On Mac/arm Notes on 95% does not recover from broken connection.

      This would greatly improve the experience for end users

      Yes, had the same problem with many users in our environment. Client - Server connection was cut by some network device on the way randomly causing the Notes client to hang "forever". Very frustrating for regular end-users who don't know about ctrl+break etc.... we were able to make it a bit better by implementing Server_session_timeout=5, but it was still not ideal.

      I'm seeing this alot with Client to server if the client has got a server not responding it's almost impossible to get it to reconnect. I usually restart the client to get it to work.

      Hi Thomas,

      especially the client => server connection is an issue, because that is what stresses users.

      Is this for server to server connections or mostly for client=>server connections?
