Error: Broken pipe (Write failed)

Communication error with the server (e.g. when loading company settings)

Written by Petr Pech

This error means that the connection between the client and the server was interrupted during communication. It most commonly occurs when you change a connection (e.g., the server or database) without restarting the application. The client terminates the connection, but the server is unaware of this.


Typical scenarios:

  • changing the connection without restarting Flexi

  • switching the server / database while the application is running

  • unstable network connection


How to resolve the issue:

  • close ABRA Flexi

  • restart the application

  • log in to the desired server again


Impact:

  • the server may temporarily retain "hanging" connections

  • this may result in unnecessary load on the server


Summary:
The "Broken pipe" error indicates an interrupted connection between the client and the server. In most cases, restarting the application and reconnecting will resolve the issue.
