Re: [DPP-Devel] rejoing session

[Zieris, F. <Fra...@fu...>]

Hi Marco,

as soon as the client leaves the session (for whatever reason), the host should see a dialog which says that the last participant left the session and is offered the choice between keeping the session running and stopping it.
If he keeps the session running, he should be able to re-invite the client immediately from the contact list.
Only if he stops the session, he needs to start a new one.

But either way, for the client it looks the same: He will see a session invitation and can (and should) after accepting the invitation choose to re-use an existing project (the project that recent session used).
Such an invitation process is much faster as only the changed files need to be transferred again – and in case of an aborted session, there should be next to no changes at all.

But you may want to find out why the client gets disconnected in the first place.
You could take a look in the logfiles which are in your Eclipse workspace under ./metadata/SarosLogs.
Look for timestamps around the time the disconnect happened.
If you found something, please post it here, and we are happy to take a look.

Cheers,
Franz

Subject: [DPP-Devel] rejoing session

Hi,

I have this recurring scenario and I'm wondering if there is a way to solve it.

We have Host starting a session sharing a project with Client. After a while Client get disconnected for some reason. Client goes back online and wants to rejoin the session.

The only way I have found is that Host shares the project with Client again.

Is there a way to allow Client to rejoin the session without action on the Host side?

Thanks

Marco
