You may be wondering, “Why is there a server if I am on a stand-alone machine?” The simple answer is that even if you’re on a stand-alone machine, your system has two components: the ATX 2016 application, and the ATX 2016 server. The server, while not residing on a separate machine, still functions like a network server in that it stores data and feeds it to the application as needed.
Even on a stand-alone machine, you can get a server error. The reason is that standalone systems are more likely to experience “sleep” or “hibernation” periods during which the connection between the ATX server and the ATX application stops. Normally, when the system “wakes up,” the connection is automatically re-established, but there are occasions when the system has trouble re-connecting. A simple “start/stop” routine usually revives the connection.
