If you have "Office Data Collection" running it will not time out the
client. Unless they've crashed out already in that case it will just free
up your license. Someone who you don't want timed out you could give them
access to "Office Data Collection".

TIMEOUT FACILITY
The Progress ClientTimeOut is a server based setting, thus needs to be
configured in the Progress.ini file because this is what the database server
uses when it starts the database. The Progress ClientTimeOut works by
monitoring the database activity for each (ALL) Progress connected sessions
at the server. If you need more flexible settings, then you need to use
another form of ClientTimeOut that that runs at the client workstations (not
the server) and allows you to specify different timeout settings based upon
the Vantage UserID login.

In other words, can vantage.ini be changed to have the ClientTimeOut line
instead of progress.ini. This way it would only affect certain vantage
users.
Our data collection runs off of Plant Floor.vtg and all other vantage users
use Vantage.vtg
After opening these files in edit mode I noticed that they both point to the
IniFile=V:\vantage\vantage.ini
Now, if I create a new vantage.ini called new_vantage.ini without a
ClientTimeOut=20 line and have Plant Floor.vtg point to this .ini file, will
this work?
Or will it not because of the init2reg we did in Progress earlier?
Thanks again.

The progress version that shipped with Vantage 5.1 had a problem with the
ClientTimeOut setting and would time out Data collection. None of the prior
versions or newer versions do this. I think it was Progress 9.1A ???
It works fine on 5.2 and the version of progress that came with it. It does
not time out data collection stations as they update the clock every minute
and never are inactive for over 20 minutes. (that's what our time out is set
to) I'm assuming if you set ClientTimeOut equal to 1 it might do that. We
went from Vantage 4.0 to 5.2 because the feature worked too good on Vantage
5.1.
One thing I have noticed is the time out isn't exactly the number of minutes
you set it to. It might be a minute or two sooner than the time you put in
the ini file, but you just have to play around with it. We tried 30 minutes
at one time then moved to 15 minutes after that we found that 20 worked the
best for us.

Do I remember that you can't disable this on individual computers? I have

Could you tell me if I am wrong?

There is a setting in the progress.ini file under the X:\progress\bin
folder. called ClientTimeOut that has to be added and the value set.
After
you set this value you have to push this into your registry using an init
to
reg command. I think it's a program we got from Vantage support.

the programmer here, is going to e-mail you the files you need to your

Rodney,
It looks like you are using Mike Podlin's Timeout utility, which is
not
a Vantage product. You will need to contact Mike to get a new license
number. His licenses are based on the server address or server name, so
you
will need to email him you Vantage.vtg file and the name of your server.
He
can then issue you a license. I'm not sure of his current email address
these days.

We have upgraded our Server from Windows NT 4.0 Operating system to
Windows
2000.
Since the upgrade, we have been unable to properly run the Timeout
facility.
We are currently running on Vantage version 5.2.
When accessing Vantage, we now get the following message:
"Invalid License
Check to see if the License Code is entered correctly in your
V:\Vantage\ClientTimeOut.ini.
This program will run in shareware mode and will close Vantage after 5
minutes of idle time."
We are able to access Vantage, but all sessions idle for 5 minutes are
terminated, which is unworkable.
Our ClientTimeout.ini file reads as follows:
[Vantage Client TimeOut]
License=PKUKIFJJ
DefaultTime=20
MultiSession=No
Would anyone in the Group know how to get around this problem?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
