IDE disconnects automatically

I've seen this occasionally when a buddy is not specified.

Try specifying a buddy in the first query. Type !b, you'll see a list of available buddies, then type !b Buddy_ID. After that, a session will begin with that buddy.

It should work if you 1. connect then 2. change buddies, but it sounds like there might be an issue with the buddy not including some necessary domains. Can you send me the DLS file? I'm at tomragle AT hotmail D0T com.

Thanks.

I'm not sure why AutomatedAgent is always the default, but you can change this behavior by adding this flag to "Extra Options" field of the conversation window before compiling:

The IDE will then launch SomeBuddyId.

When actually launching on a server via the web console, use filters (e.g. Local, Deploy, KnowledgeManagement, etc.) to control which buddy gets launched into the Messenger cloud, AIM, etc. when you hit the Start button.
