  • VE Pro - When the Host Crashes

    If my host crashes while I am connected to one or more instances in the VE server, I am finding that the server does not disconnect the instance. So, when I re-launch my host, I cannot re-connect to the same instance because VE thinks it is already connected. But the plug-in within the host is not connected. Without a way to disconnect an instance from the VE side, I am stuck and am forced to exit the VE server and load my metaframe again. Am I missing something? An option to disconnect an instance from the VE Pro interface would fix this. I am loading the VE Pro server (actually both the 32 and 64-bit servers) and their respective metaframes before I launch my host. I am doing this because I want to be able to open and close projects freely. Does this all make sense? Thanks for any replies or insight. --Andy.

    Just to clarify: this happens when the last-saved state of the VE plug-in is "not connected", but the plug has been connected since the last save. Therefore, when the host crashes and the project is re-opened, the VE plug-in state is "not connected". However, because the plug had been connected, and then the host crashed, the VE Pro server still shows the state of the instance as "connected".

    You are right, if the host crashes while being connected - the instances will stay as "connected", because they simply have not received a command to shut down. It would be a bit unsafe to shut down an unpreserved instance after a period of inactivity. What if you accidentally unplugged a network cable - or (as in your case) the host software crashes. Then the instance would disappear and the data would be lost.

    We might look into making a "force delete instance" option for the server, so you could manually kill a ghost instance when this occurs.

    Thank you Martin. Yes, it would be most helpful because I have run into this a few times already and it is a bit of a pain to exit the server and load the whole metafile again. Great job on the software though, it is making my life so much easier.
