In Powerbuilder 2017 R3 Build 1858, I am attempting to create a small executable that parses a json API result and then both populates a database and writes image files to the local file system of the server. I will be running it as a scheduled job so I have built it entirely out of NVOs. Everything is fully built out in the Powerbuilder IDE and I am able to deploy a Pcode 64-bit exe and it runs fine on my machine from the exe even when moved to another folder.

Moving the exe to the server it will run the executable up until I try to initialize the httpclient. Nothing further happens and an error isn't thrown. The following is the beginning of the of_getreport function of my n_importer NVO:

integer li_rc , li_inactive_rows, li_count
long ll_id, ll_userid,ll_row,ll_root,ll_index,ll_child,ll_count, ll_data
string ls_string,ls_result,ls_body,ls_title , ls_image, ls_filename
blob lb_image
String ls_get_url
String ls_response_text, ls_status_text
string ls_race, ls_age, ls_arrest_date, ls_charges
long ll_status_code
boolean lb_fileDeleted

integer s_iCount, s_lLineNum
MessageBox('of_getreport()', 'primitves set')

datastore lds_population_inactive

OleObject loo_xmlhttp
MessageBox('of_getreport()', 'Objects set')

MessageBox('httpclient', is_reportUrl)
try
  MessageBox('of_getreport()', 'httpclient http ')
  httpclient http
  MessageBox('of_getreport()', 'http = create httpclient ')
  http = create httpclient
  MessageBox('of_getreport()', 'sendrequest')
  li_rc = http.sendrequest( 'GET',is_reportUrl + is_credentials)

  MessageBox('li_rc', li_rc)
  MessageBox('http.GetResponseStatusCode()', http.GetResponseStatusCode())
  if li_rc = 1 and http.GetResponseStatusCode() = 200 then
    http.GetResponseBody(ls_string)
  end if
  MessageBox('of_getreport()', ' JSONParser json ')
  JSONParser json
  json = create JSONParser
  ls_result = json.loadstring( ls_string )
  ll_root = json.getrootitem( )

catch (runtimeerror er)
  MessageBox("Runtime Error", er.GetMessage())
end try

Based on the messages, it seems the line " http = create httpclient " is the last executed. I added the message boxes after finding the application wasn't working on the server.
