PC crash in massive invoice printing

Atreiu

It seems to be the first time this happens, because I've found nothing on the net.

The need is to print a lot of invoices at the same time: so I select 300 invoices in the "posted sales invoices" page (page 143) and click "print" > "preview".
It should use the "Sales - Invoice" report (report 206)... And this is the list of errors I get (translating messages from Italian, so the text will not be probably correct)...

A) <<Server "net.[url=tcp://localhost:7046/DynamicsNAV/Service]tcp://localhost:7046/DynamicsNAV/Service[/url]" is not available. Reconnect?>>
(then it sometimes reconnects, but we're at the beginning again...)

(it cannot often reconnect): <<Server connection is lost. The application will be closed.>>
(it doesn't reconnect) <<It's impossible to connect to the server. Retry?>>
(In this case the Navision service is blocked so I try to restart it, but I get another error): <<Attempt to restart the service "Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server>> .... <<Impossible to stop the service "Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server" on the local computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request within the expected time"
(after this I need to restart the pc to get the control again... And if it's the customer's pc... it's not a nice thing at all...)


I got these errors even trying to print only 30 invoices... and even with the original report... and it does not depend on the type of printer...


thank you in advance

Try to run the report one by one (one invoice per run). May be the paging in SP1 will help in that (server will send data to client in chunks). Now it is generating whole report on the server and sending it as a whole and this can kill the server...

Atreiu

Ok, thank you. But the problem is that my customer wants to cast them all at once...
And it's very strange because the server is powerful (I don't remember how much RAM it has, but it seems to be enough)... so why it crashes even with 30 invoices? Do you know if the problem is on the server or the workload is on the client itself?

Try reading Kine's reply for answers to your questions. ](*,)

Uhm... I think that I've not understood kine's replay (maybe it's my bad English)...
I'm sorry for this... so I'll ask some mora explanations...

You suggest that I run the report one by one (one invoice per run): how can I do this "in one click"?

Can you also explain me what is the "paging in SP1" (and which SP1 you refer to)?

thanks

The reason suggested to try running the report one by one, is to try to identify what the real error is. Most of the times people get fixated on what they believe is an error, and waste hours and hours of their clients time and money chasing unicorns.

The first step in fixing ANY problem is to define the problem. So eliminate as many variable as possible first.

Hello,

I'm also facing the same Problem with "NAV2009 SP1 RTC" version.
Here it's not due to massive data processing but i'm just not able to start application.

When i start, it connects to database, Gives me a message of introduction of

The server "net.[url=tcp://localhost:7046/DynamicsNAV/Service]tcp://localhost:7046/DynamicsNAV/Service[/url]" is either unavailable or your connection has been lost. Do you want to attempt to reconnect?

---

Yes No

When i say 'Yes' to above message, i get another below message...

Microsoft Dynamics NAV

---

The connection to the server has been lost. The application will close.

OK

It seems that very few RTC users has faced this problem... ](*,)
Let me know, if you have fix.

Have you tested your network? May be some HW problems...

mahesh

Yes, i tested with all permutations..
checked NAV User rights, Services, Active directry, Config file, NAV rights, HW etc...
All PCs are working except one. :-k
