SC Team - Have been noticing issues with the second instance of sierra(DTC) while the primary connection is still active and running.

Corresponding log messages from primary & secondary listed below. Any suggestions on how to go about this?

thanks

This would indicate the primary instance, is under a heavy load or has run into a reliability/stability problem may be due to an operating system problem.

In this case restart Sierra Chart.

Thank you for the reply. Restart of primary didn't help either.

Both my primary and secondary instances have 0% CPU and with only 3 charts on primary & 1 chart on secondary. All the charts with only 1 study on each chart which shows (0ms) run time as well.

Would figure out and update you.

thanks

Some network connectivity issue.

From our perspective must be caused by some kind of security software on your system.

I have the same problem.

@ejtrader did you find a solution ?
Is it related to a firewall/antivirus/windows update issue ?

In my case - I was trying to use the GDI functionality with T&S records in Secondary instance. This was NOT a code issue as the same code when used in non-GDI area works fine. This was also NOT related to GDI leak as I have checked about it. Atleast in my case - Some unknown combination of GDI/T&S/DTC Client - was contributing to the intermittent DTC client disconnect issues. Had to pick a different route for this and don't have issues. Don't think this was related to firewall/network/security issues.

Thanks
