When running under Com mode the HelloWorld test page comes up OK but when I try to send the business object XML file the server hangs.

The Url is: http://localhost/ctlserve5/getallctl.pac5?

Output under file mode works and is:

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Josh

Also keep in mind that your COM server may run under different security than your standalone EXE. If you didn't configure DCOMCNFG (and you shouldn't) the COM server will run under the security context of the IIS Application Pool that hosts your Web app. Make sure that account has the rights needed to access files on disk and any other resources. If you don't - file access errors ensue and if you are in COM mode without SYS(2335) set your server will show a hidden file open box and hang.

Check out the documentation on COM to see the few extra steps you should take for COM servers specifically around setting UnattendedMode in the configuration or explicitly setting SYS(2335,0) in your process classes.

Managed to get the com server working but only as the interactive user. This causes problems because the server gets logged off at night and does not come back up until we log in. We ping it every 15 minutes but it still knocks us out.

I included pictures of the application pool, dcom config page(the object is crmserver.crmserverserver), the ini file, the module status page.

The application pool is set to administrator.

The ini file is:

You should never use the Interactive User for a live application. As you point out it only works with a logged on console and that's no good on a server (for lots of reasons - security, auto-logoff, screen lockout).

The proper way to do security is as follows:

Configure your Application Pool to the user account that has the rights that you will need. Looks like you've done that with the Administrator account.

Leave DCOMCNFG alone - the default for COM objects is 'Launching User' which will be the Application Pool account. If you have interactive user set now, go back and remove that and set the Identity to Launching User which will inherit whatever the AppPool is running under. You might want to change the Launch and Access permissions and make sure that the user the AppPool is using has Launch and Access rights.

Now - that should just work - assuming the account you are using has the rights you need.

Note there may be other complications like network shares not being visible (they won't be because you're creating a new user session so you have to map any drives as part of your application or use UNC paths). If it doesn't work check your Windows process list and see if the EXE is showing up in the list. If it is and nothing is happening it's possible the server hung during startup - most likely due to an error in the startup code.

If you're using the latest version of Web Connection you can also check the request log and trace file (wwTraceLog.txt) for any errors that occurred in your server. You can also add some trace code to your server in YourServer::OnInit() to check and see if your code actually ever gets fired at all. From within the server code you can use:

this.Trace("Made it into OnInit")

TempFilePath=C:\temp\wc\

ShowStatus=On
ShowServerForm=On
SaveRequestFiles=Off
UseMTS=Off
COMReleaseUrl="http://localhost/crmserver/wc.wc?_maintain~release"
[automation Servers]
KeepAlive=1

The server gets fired up. The first thing it does after that is open up data files that it expects to see a drive mapping that as you accurately described it no longer sees.

I change the table dictionary file (tabldict) from drive mapping (J:\Master\) to a unc (\\nas\data\webdata) then it takes forever to load and the app times out before it can access data.

If I try and set a drive mapping script such as:
oWshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
oWshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive( "J:", \\nas\datawebdata)

the server "fails to load" altogether.

Your thoughts?

Thanks,

Josh

Well the server is loading it's just never getting past the init because it's failing on the drive mappings/network access.

I'm not sure what the solution is but the server is in fact loading. I would think mapping a drive would work, but maybe it's a permissions problem you can't just map the drive like that I believe - you need to specify username and password.

Put this in a protected folder... Domain, User name and password in a text file probably not the best idea...
Any suggestions would be welcome.

I know you got this working but could you see if you can get the following to work (which is built into Web Connection) into the Server's YourServer::OnInit() code:

mapnetworkdrive("i:","\\RASXPS\CDrive","username","password")
IF (!IsDir("i:\temp"))  && point at some known path or file
    this.Trace("i: drive was not mapped...")
ENDIF

You'd want to do this as early as possible in your startup code and before anything else is fired. If the connection is slow you might want to increase the timeout a little if you are loading data as part of your server initialization.

I don't have a good repro scenario here as all the machines are running hte same accounts so I can log on easily anywhere without passwords, but if it explicitly use invalid passwords it definitely fails.

I just think it's probably cleaner if the application can set its own mapping rather than relying on an external mapping from the OS startup.

Managed to work on your script and had to make a few changes to make it work.
Changes were 1)spaces between drive and path. 2) User name and password were reversed 3) took out all the quote marks

Thanks again for your help.

See you in October for the training in Arizona.
