These aren't caused by MC but originate from IB.as I am new to MC. do we email MC support for these errors to find errors ?
From another topic:
So when a connect TWS to Multichart, I have the following error message:
-"market data farm connection is broken:cashfarm"
-"HMDS data farm connection is broken:euhmds"
Does this problem happen all the time for you or only occasionally on set times? The latter is expected because IB's servers are not up 24/7.These messages are generated by IB API. Please contact IB support directly regarding this case.
Also see Interactive Brokers' system status.

I don't know; that's something for IB. It also depends on whether it's really an issue: if the disconnects happen in the 'server reset times' (see the link in my post above) it's not an issue but expected behaviour.any idea how does IB resolves this issue
Do these errors need to be fixed for you? You didn't mentioned that trading with IB through MultiCharts didn't work or you didn't receive price data. For example, if you don't trade US futures, then a connection alert with the 'usfuture' IB server is not a problem.
oh ok, i didnt think that far. so far, it didnt affect due to connection last night at 11.40pm and yes it was close to the autologoff time, then i changed itI don't know; that's something for IB.

IB daily server reboot and TWS auto logoff are 2 different and *unrelated* things.

Read carefully and in detail... From IB's link above:
System Availability
Trading is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with the exception of system reset times described in the table below.

you should read this answer to my question about IB's daily sever reboot
The answer is No. Those resets do not affect IBController nor TWS. During reset TWS shortly losses communication to the server and then restores.
IB daily server reset affects TWS thru IB gateway & IB controller ?
https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/i ... Status.php
I know IB gateway dont need TWS to run, but does IB controller is the same way, or runs TWS
