ATX Server and the Stand-Alone Environment
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 2021 application, and the ATX 2021 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.
Server Errors on Stand-Alone Systems
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 reconnecting. A simple “start/stop” routine usually revives the connection.
