Details

Sometimes a DDE/Suitelink object will get disconnected from a DAServer. If this happens there isn't an automatically reconnection function.

We monitor this connection and reconnect if needed using a script inside of the DDE/Suitelink.

• Open your DDE/Suitelink object. Click on the scripts tab
• Create a script called Reconnect
  
• Configure the script as below
  
  Scripts: Execution type: Execute (default) and locked
  
  Expression: Me.ConnectionStatus <> 2
  Trigger type: WhileTrue (default)
  Trigger Period: 00:00:05.0000000
  Script body Me.Reconnect = true
   
• Save your DDE/Suitelink and redeploy

Now anytime the DDE/Suitelink disconnects it will try to reconnect to the DAServer every 5 seconds.
