Hi All,

we have application which is developed in PB 11.5 and recently we have migrated it to PB2017 to make this work in windows 10 machine. But we are facing issues with it. 

We could open the login form but later it will closed automatically, sometimes we receive an error as "system error". 

Could you please provide your advises to over come this issues.

Thank you in advance.

Hello Sadananda,

I would run the application from the PB debugger and pinpoint the exact line that causes the crash.

It might be DB issue (i.e. need for an up-to-date driver), or ANSI/Unicode chars, or many more things related to the new platform.

Best,

Marco

It sounds to me like a missing runtime library or maybe wrong runtime build installed.

- Do you have a runtime installed or are the dll's simply copied to some place?



Maybe a way to figure out is to run process monitor and see where it crashes: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon

we have copied all required DLL's from C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\Shared\PowerBuilder to our local machine.

Do we need copy any other DLL's



Thank you.

I had this exact same problem. I could run my application EXE with no issues and then something changes and I have to now 'Run As Administrator" . Otherwise, the application crashes.

Hi Sadananda;

  Can you tell us ...

  1. Is this a PFC based App?
  2. Does your App have code in the System Error event to capture / log the exact error code & error text?
  3. Did you run the PB 11.x App code through the PB2017's "Migration Assistant" before migration?
  4. Does your APP call external O/S API's or 3rd party DLL's?
  5. Is your App receiving any Warning or Error messages when performing a Full Build?

Regards ... Chris

Hi Sadananda;



1) Does the App work (run) OK from the PB IDE?

2) In your project object where you build the EXE ... did you include a "Mainfest"?



Regards... Chris

Thank you Chris.

1. It is not PFC based app. it is windows application.
2. yes, we have code to capture some of error codes. But here we didn't receive any error it just closes the application without any warnings/ errors.
3. yes, we ran the code through Migration assistant and then built pbd's
4. we didn't receive any Warnings/ errors on Full Build.

we have run migration assistant in our server and built PBD's. we are able to use application in server i.e. WIndows 12 R2 server but facing issues in windows 10 local machine.

we also have copied required DLL's from powerbuilder Shred folder and copy in our local machine. Do we need to copy any other DLL's. we are using windows 10.0.17134.472 version. Please advise.

Thank you again for your help,

Hi Sadananda,

 

you could try to run the application with /pbdebug parameter (or from IDE using the "Enable PBDebug Tracing" from System Options). It writes a log file about every line it executes. So you can find out what statement produces the crash.

Regards,

René

Hi Sadananda;

For the DWO that causes the crash in the DS ... can you open the DWO's source and see if the 1st line in the source code states "release 17;",

If not, change the release number to 17, save the DWO and then retest.

HTH

Hi

Now, SQLCA connected without any errors. I have added driver details in connection string and able connect transaction successfully.



But, still application crashes at datastore retrieval. I tried run one single query and able to retrieve information but couldn't retrieve from data store. Please advise do we have any dll's or drivers for datastore also.



Driver details added to existing connection string: Driver={ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server}

Application crashes at :

li_rowcount = lds_access_level.Retrieve(s_uid)



Application works good in server and crashes in windows 10 local machine.



Thank you.

Are you running from the PB IDE?
if yes why are you not run in debug mode to find the line that cause the crash 

do you have any external DLL calls from the app?

In the app we have developed , the data windows are not painting on Windows 10. We are using 2017 R3. We have tried having an empty datawindow without a data object and the application simply crashes with system error. 

We get the error below in the event log 

Faulting application name: sample_application.exe, version: 1.0.0.1, time stamp: 0x5b6318c2

Any help and insights into resolving it is much appreciated.

Hi All,

we have done some more test cases on application and found that application works fine if we run as administrator. But all users have normal access and doesn't have administrator access to application. Please advise, how we can resolve it without run as administrator.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Sadananda,

In your Project Object that builds the App's EXE .. do you include / embed a "Manifest" in the EXE?

Hi, 

I have the exact same problem.  It was working fine but Windows 10 released a new update and after that the app crashes when a dw is involved.  

Do you have any news about the subject? I would appreciate any comments

 

thank you
