Description

RV client caches the IP address of remote RV daemon, and does not re-do DNS lookup when reconnecting.  When a remote daemon fails, and then changes IP address, the RV client fails to reconnect.
 

Issue/Introduction

How does RV client reconnect to daemon when the daemon fails and changes IP?

Environment

8.x all

Resolution

RV instroduced a new error advisory in 8.0,  _RV.ERROR.SYSTEM.RVD.RECONNECT_FAILED.  This advisory indicates that after becoming disconnected from its daemon, the transport cannot reconnect at the same IP address.

The RV client can listen to this advisory, destroy the invalid transport and associated objects, and then recreate them to reconnect.
