Error -8819

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 25 May 2005

Q:
When users try to browse a context, they get the error -8819. The DS is healthy. Our servers are NetWare 6.5 SP2 or SP3 with eDirectory 8.7.3.4.

A:
Error -8819 normally means "server connection lost". There is a long- standing client bug where connections can be lost when the workstation is sending a sustained stream of requests to the server. ConsoleOne is inefficient in terms of the network traffic generated so you might be encountering this client bug. Try running it from a local machine instead of over the network. This will eliminate the traffic generated from loading and reading snaps-ins, which may help.

Also, the '88' prefix indicates a client issue, not a server issue. A '89' prefix indicates a server issue.
