Reconnect to Web Client After Async Error *New Feature*

Hello everyone!

As you may know, if your network connection drops when using Web Client, you will get an "Async" error message from Silverlight. Previously, you would not be able to do anything to recover from this error, except for closing the browser completely.

With the release of GP 2015,  upon receiving an Async error in Web Client, you will be presented with a "Restart" button, as shown below. This button will bring you right back into your Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 Web Client session.

Async errors can come about from a few different things.

Network Interruption

An Async error can occur from a network failure at any point between the Silverlight Application and the WCF Endpoint. Examples of this could be a suddenly blocked port or the loss of network connectivity.

Form Messaging

An Async error can occur when the messaging between the Silverlight Application and the Session Host becomes out of order. With an unexpected message coming through, the error will be thrown to ensure that we do not cause additional issues.

WCF endpoint is no longer available

There are two common scenarios that could cause this issue. The Runtime Process.exe task was ended for that user through Task Manager, or the Administrator ended that user’s session through the Session Management snap-in in Web Management Console. You would also see this message if the Session Host was rebooted when a user was connected to the session.
