ADOConnection on serverice tier (RTC)

ara3n · 2011-01-06

Hello

Has anybody tried and run the ADO automation on service tier?

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=23038&hilit=lADOConnection

Based on this example, this doesn't work on RTC but works fine on classic.

//lvarActiveConnection is of type variant

lvarActiveConnection := lADOConnection;

//this is where it errors out when on RTC 
lADOCommand.ActiveConnection := lvarActiveConnection;

The error is

The expression Variant cannot be type-converted to a String value.

If I change the code to

lADOCommand.ActiveConnection := lADOConnection;

The compiler errors out

Type conversion is not possible because 1 of the operators contains an invalid type.

Integer := Automation

So nobody has tried to use ADO automation on RTC?

I have seen ADO connection on a NAV Module (Orderbase) and i encountered problems with it, because classic & Service Tier seem to handle the automation different.
I can't tell you whats the problem, but what i have seen is that there has changed things from classic to RTC.

Unfortunatly in the code i've seen the ADOConnection var is not further assigned to a var of type Command, execute is directly called with a string in it, so no solution for your problem, sorry...

Thanks. For right now I'll run the solution on NAS. I will see if I can find another solution. Probably .NET framework.

We run this and have stumbled upon same error.

We are planing to run the automation with NAS service to go around it.

I have written another solution. Here it its

Nifty,
I actually found another solution for this which seems to work fine. I made a simple test with it too for retreaving customer names to another test table:

Here is the code:

{ // Globals: 
txtQuery	 		Text		250
autADOConnection	 	Automation	'Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.8 Library'.Connection	
autADORecordSet	 	Automation	'Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.8 Library'.Recordset	
recTestitaulu	 	Record	 	testi	
}

// SQL Kyselyn alustus / SQL Query
txtQuery := 'SELECT * FROM [Your Company$Customer]'; // Customer table for the test

// Automaatioiden alustus / Automation creations
CREATE(autADOConnection);
CREATE(autADORecordSet);

// Tietokantayhteys / Database connection string
autADOConnection.ConnectionString := 	'Driver={SQL Server};'
                               	+ 'Server='+'PalvelimenNimi'+';' // Server name
                               	+ 'Database='+'TietokannanNimi'+';' // Database name
                               	+ 'Uid=UserName;' // Query user (remember rights)
                               	+ 'Pwd=UserPassword;'; // user's password

// Tietokantayhteyden avaus / DB connection open
autADOConnection.Open;

// SQL Kyselyn ajo avattuun kantaan sekä tietojen tuonti RecordSet Automaatiomuuttujaan / Query execution and retreaval for record set
autADORecordSet := autADOConnection.Execute(txtQuery);


recTestitaulu.RESET;

// Looppi RecordSetin läpi / Loop through record set
WHILE NOT autADORecordSet.EOF DO BEGIN

  // Uuden rivin luonti testitauluun / New line per record
  recTestitaulu.INIT;
  recTestitaulu.No := autADORecordSet.Fields.Item('No_').Value; // Perusavain Sarake 1 / Prikey yada yada
  recTestitaulu.Name := autADORecordSet.Fields.Item('Name').Value; // Nimi tieto Sarake 2 / some value
  recTestitaulu.INSERT;

  autADORecordSet.MoveNext; // Siirtymä seuraavaan RecordSetin riviin / next record

END;

autADOConnection.Close;

The error is
The expression Variant cannot be type-converted to a String value.

Greetings,

I run into this all the time. I think it is an incompatibility between design and execution in the compiled code of the program. (A Bug.)

My resolution is so simple that it's silly. Nonetheless, it works.

I save my code object without compiling. I re-open the object and compile it. It has taken several attempts at times to get this to work. Eventually, I always win over the machine.

Once I remember closing Navision entirely and re-opening the application and re-opening the object before it would compile without the nasty little error message.

I just tried it with an ADO connection that works on the classic client.

On the RTC, somehow it does even not find the data source. From where does it select the data source, shouldn't it be selected from the client?

hi ara3n,

What is the dotnet type (subtype) you have used to declare the variables (sqlconnection for example)?

thanks in advance

ara3n · 2013-10-28

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection

Hello ara3n ,

I am trying to access the http://mibuso.com/blogs/ara3n/2011/01/1 ... tc-in-nav/ site but it's not available. Can you please provide the address again.
