Cause

Issue occurs when the user allows BMF to sit running for long periods of times without any repository activity then the MySQL server will timeout the connection.
Resolution

Connection timeout is controlled in the my.ini file for MySQL by changing the configuration value of wait_timeout. Apply one of the following workarounds:
1. Increase the value of wait_timeout in the my.ini file. This will require that the user shutdowns BMF and then restart the BMF MySQL service.
OR
2. Restart BMF if BMF has been sitting idle for a long time.
OR
3. Switch to a more robust repository. Note that the current version of BMF does not include the default MySQL repository. But user can still use their own copy of MySQL, it just will not be included in the BMF install.
