Exchanging a driver may result in an intermediate driver configuration file causing configured connections to be lost

Exchanging a driver may result in an intermediate driver configuration file causing configured connections to be lost

Summary

When a driver is exchanged with a new driver, the driver configuration of the new driver is opened automatically. With some drivers that use TCP communication, the connections that are created in the driver configuration during the exchange of the driver, are stored in an intermediate file and are not taken over. When the driver configuration is closed to complete the driver exchange, and reopened again, the driver uses the final configuration file, in which the connections are not existing.

Description

When a driver is exchanged with a new driver, the driver configuration of the new driver is opened automatically. With some drivers that use TCP communication, the connections that are created in the driver configuration during the exchange of the driver, are stored in an intermediate file and are not taken over. When the driver configuration is closed to complete the driver exchange, and reopened again, the driver uses the final configuration file, in which the connections are not existing.

Solution

An issue was addressed in the handling of driver configuration files during driver exchange. Now the driver no longer uses an intermediate file during the exchange, and the connections are stored correctly.

Information

As a workaround, on driver exchange close the driver configuration, then reopen the driver configuration to enter the connections.
