Service Crash when creating Com object from RTC Client

quibbler

I have a problem I´m unable to figure out what the solutions could be

We are running the setup in a 2-tier enviroment (SQL server and Services on same machine)

When I run my functionality on the Server I do not get any problems, the error occurs only when we try to run it from the RTC client outside the server the Service crashes and I get following information. (if I run the Classic Client outside the server no problems)

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

> Yes

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

I was able to debug with messages and figure out where the problem occurs and the following code is the problem

***********

IF ISCLEAR(clientFso) THEN CREATE(clientFso, FALSE, TRUE);

clientFSO is a variable to the automation : 'Microsoft Scripting Runtime'.FileSystemObject

***********

and this seems to be the problem when trying to create the object on the Client PC (but this only occurs through the RTC klient)

Anybody knows what this could be

From the log fil I get following information:

Do you have any more code that uses the automation variable?

I can't reproduce this problem, for me it's working fine.

Are you using the latest builds for Client and Service?

quibbler

Yes this is the latest version RTC 2009 SP1 version: build 6.0.29626.0

I do not currently have other code using the automation variable.

deV.ch

Please intstall the latest hotfix build listed here:
https://mbs.microsoft.com/customersourc ... 09%20build

This could solve your problem.

OK

okey, problem seems to be solved after registering the com object again on then Client machine, so the real solution was to update to latest build in this case.
