Re: How to trace this error?

The instance is still alive and nobody shut it down. I'm running a test application in the instance. I guess that's the problem. Strange thing is that it seems ok if I keep working on it, but after an idle time, whatever I will do it tells the error and I have to reconnect. So I have to trace it.

Thanks.
