This seems to be common problem on windows 2003. One of the resolutions is to go to services menu under administration tools. Select the properties for universe RPC and under the login tab select to allow this service to interact with the desktop.
Under windows 2003 there are a number of security features and I suspect that part of this is to close down unrecognised sockets that have not been active for a while. I believe there is somewhere where you can keep this active, but have not had time to explore. Hope this helps Regards David Jordan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bryan Shumsky Sent: Tuesday, 7 December 2004 4:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [U2] Problem with RPC calls to UniVerse on Windows 2003? Hi, everyone. I've just been working on a project using the UniObjects for Java stuff, and it all works fine...for a little while. That is, I can make connections and do 'thinkgs' on the UniVerse system, connecting and disconnecting with no problem. But after "a while" of inactivity (exact duration unknown), I find I can no longer make the connection any more - the call returns with "The RPC failed." Rebooting the Windows 2003 system makes things work again. Note that I'm not trying to reuse the connection, or the session, or anything; I've actually quit out of my program, and am trying to go back into it again. At first, I suspected that there was something awry in my Java code, but I've discovered that I can create the same problem just by using the UniVerse Admin tool; again, I connect, and "do stuff" with no problem, but after disconnecting and waiting a while, attempts to reconnect generate the dialog box "Unable to open connection - Error 81002 - connection is broken". As the Admin tool is on the same box as UniVerse, this eliminates any questions (I think) of firewall issues, networking problems, etc. While this makes me feel better about my UOJ code :-) it means there's something else going on here. I don't know if it's related to being on Windows 2003 Server, or the fact that this is the Personal Edition of UniVerse (just downloaded from the IBM site; version is 10.0.10), or...? If it's just something unique to the PE, that's fine; I'm using this for testing and development, and if it works correctly in the "real" world, then that's OK, but it'd be nice to know what's going on.
