Keep Alive

The Keep Alive option, located in the File Menu of a project in the editor, keeps a session running on the Tygron Engine even after the Tygron Client is closed. The keep alive mode delays an automatic shut-down of your project session.

There are a couple of scenarios where keeping a session alive in the Tygron Platform is desirable. This option is commonly used in the following use cases:

• For other users to be able to join. The Keep Alive option enables the project to be accessed by users with 'join only' access rights. This can be implemented in a (multi user) stakeholder session, where an organization has a session running, and is inviting external stakeholders (civilians, companies, municipalities, etc) to join the session on the Tygron Platform.

• To complete the process of uploading data from a service. Some services contain a large amount of (3D) data. Having the session continue to process this data in the background will free up a user's time and system. Note that this option does not work for local data, as the session must remain open on the source system.

• To finalize a long calculation. Some calculations can take a long time. It is possible to schedule such calculations with a long scheduled update. When this is selected, the session is automatically set to Keep Alive, and the user can exit while the calculation continues on the server, at the designated times.

After 14 days of inactivity, the Keep Alive option is ended automatically. If you would like to use this option for a longer period, please contact us with our contact form.
