Sanjeev_Harrish,
Concerning your question on reconnecting to a Citrix Server
Session.....
Citrix servers allow clients to disconnect from published applications
and reconnect to them later. When a client disconnects from a published
application using the Disconnect option, the session on which the
application was running remains active on the Citrix server (even on
Load Balanced machines). To reconnect to the same session, the Master
ICA Browser must send the client to the Citrix server with the client's
disconnected session. When a client selects a published application to
run, the Master ICA Browser checks its list of disconnected sessions in
its database against the name of the selected published application and
the identifier for the client. If both pieces of information match an
entry in the list of disconnected sessions, the Master ICA Browser sends
the address of the server containing the client's disconnected session
to the client and the client reconnects to the disconnected session. If
no match - no reconnection - it will connect client to least busy server
that contains the published application and creates a new session.
Note however that if users frequently disconnect and reconnect to
sessions on load balanced Citrix boxes rather than logging off, the load
might not be distributed evenly among the servers in the Farm.
Also be aware that all clients connected to a Citrix server use the
same amount of processor resources (basically clients that run
processor-intensive app's have the same weight in a user-load
calculation as those using non-processor intensive applications). You
can compensate for differences in load balancing if you have clients
reconnecting by adjusting the User Load parameters on the servers before
changing the load balancing parameters on the Advanced tab. Be sure to
make adjustments to ALL servers in the Farm - making changes to just one
will do nothing.
Since you have handheld devices that are doing the "disconnect" you
should first adjust the disconnect time on the Citrix boxes to do the
disconnect just prior to the handheld disconnect time - that way the
client can reconnect.
Best of Luck,
