Apologize for resurrecting an old thread, but I'm experiencing the same issue in v7.9.4.

> I have an application that connects to an SAP WSDL to create, cancel, and lookup inventory information. Ignition v7.9.4, using built-in SUDS libraries. I’m able to connect to the web service, and call all methods on the wsdl without issue, but I’m running into a problem with opening and hanging up TCP connections. I have a gateway timer script that runs once a minute. It opens a client once each time the script is called, then does a query for inventory units that have recently been created,…

I've tried the original SUDS that was installed with the gateway, as well as the jurko suds fork.

I'd be very much interested to see what workaround the devs may have come up with.
