[DUG] Terminal server and FlashFiler

[Leigh Wanstead]

Hi Conor,

Thanks for the answer ;-)

My collegue Daniel told me the same thing. I searched the source code and it
seems that gettickcount is referenced by ExceptionLog(EurekaLog v 5.x ),
JclSysInfo(Project JEDI Code Library (JCL)), TSGrid(ObjectSight Visual
Components). I will take a look to see if I can recreate the same issue on
my testing environment.

Regards
Leigh

  Yeah, 50 days sounds like the key.

  The Windows API function that returns the number of seconds (?) since the
PC started wraps round to 0 after about 49 days.  So whatever your
application or database is doing, it may be using that function somewhere?

  I can't remember the name of the API call, if I do, I'll post it later.

  Ah, found it.  GetTickCount().  Wraps round to 0 after 49.7 days.

  HTH, and Happy Christmas to you all too...

  Conor

  Hello everyone,

  Merry Christmas and happy new year ;-)

  I have a question regarding to Terminal server and TurboPower FlashFiler
2. I am developing a delphi 7 application using open source FlashFiler
database server. FlashFiler database server is embedded inside my
application. If I run my application since the Terminal server reboot,
everything works fine. But somehow only happens to one particular terminal
server after running for 50 days, my application can't restart. It report
the error time out or database file can't be opened. I closed my application
and the database file can be renamed which proves that no one has locked the
file. The only solution I know of is rebooting the terminal server. I can
start flashfiler database server ffserver.exe and ffe.exe in the open source
package without problem even when my application failed. I used database
FFVerify.exe to verify the database. There is no error in the database file.
The terminal server is running windows 2003 build 3790. The free memory left
on that terminal server machine is around 200mb.

  I can't recreate the problem in my own terminal server.

  Do you know what to look at?
