I am using remote FMSA8 as data source via ODBC for 6 months. Have had problems, not with Witango hanging, but that the FMSA does not re-establish ODBC upon a reboot of the FMSA server hardware. FMSA says ODBC is enabled but no connections can be made from any ODBC enabled PC or app. Usually takes a second boot of FMSA application to re-establish ODBC. Witango apps come back online after FMSA reboot without having to reboot the local IIS server.

Moving to FMSA9 this week.

Shannon,
There are know issues with xODBC and Filemaker 7-9 I am not sure if they extend to JDBC but there are related to the FMP plug in in not Witango as I can reproduce them with any ODBC connection to FMP.

I have been working for 1 year with FMI to resolve these.

We are close.

They are
Out of memory errors which cause the plug in stop responding at all ( these seems resolved with 9)
Failure to close connections properly when shutting down the DB

We use JDBC with Filemaker and OCI with Oracle. We're not having trouble with anything but Witango connections now. I'm finding it harder to believe that all of the driver creators got it wrong and Witango got it right...

The old database I used to use, would require this when for some reason witango would burp or lost connection. It was very frustrating, but I never found a way to just stop that one thread from the witango side. It should be noted, that other dbs don't require this. Both MS SQL 2000 and MySQL don't have this problem. I can reboot mysql, and leave witango alone, and it will reconnect. This led me to realize, it is more of an issue with the ODBC driver/db from the vendor. I experimented with other code and found this to be the case, outside of witango.

What database do you use?

Does anyone know if it is possible to kill open database connections without restarting the witango server process? We've had some cases lately where a connection will fail somewhere between the witango server and the database server. Everything but witango recognizes that the session is dead and ditches it. Rather than starting a new session, witango just keeps returning "113 Unable to communicate with the specified data source. The existing connection was lost." on the old session until the datasource timeout kicks in.

The problem is that the some other sessions are often fine, so I hate to kill off everything if I can tell that there are specific dead sessions.
