I have a server running 6.0 on AS/400. I notice in the console that every time a Notes client retrieves data from the server, a session is opened and immediately closed. Aren’t session supposed to remain open until some big threshhold of concurrent users is hit and then only the oldest session gets dropped? This server is keeping zero sessions open. Anyone have any insight for me?
Subject: Client sessions immediately closed?
Can you clarify what you mean by “retrieves data from the server?” If you open a database it should open a session, which normally stays open unless you end the Notes client, switch users, or if server_maxsessions and server_session_timeout are set and limits reached. Also, can you clarify what statistics you are looking at? “Show stat server.users” should show number of open sessions, and “show users” should show details on each session open. Users can have multiple sessions open too of course.
Subject: RE: Client sessions immediately closed?
I open a database in the Notes client. The server console immediately responds with two lines: “Session opened for Greg Bussey” and “Session closed for Greg Bussey.”
I do something else in the database using the Notes client, like open the database properties or switching to a different view or opening a document. Again, the server console shows two new messages:
“Session opened for Greg Bussey” and “Session closed for Greg Bussey.”
Anything I do in the client that requires it to access the server will result in a new session opened and immediately closed – as reported in the Domino console.
I checked notes.ini for max session and session timeout variables. There are none. There are also no such settings specified in the notes.ini part of the configuration document.
