Hi all

Our clients are in isolation due to COVID-19 and are working from home. They are using VPN access and RDP to their workstations at the office where they run the application built in PB 12.5. The application randomly crashes with this message:

 

Any thoughts on why this is happening and how to fix it?

(ps. we are currently working on upgrading to PB 2019)

 

Thank you,

Teresa MacDonald

Teresa a virtual friend (Chris Pollach) told me to look in the Windows Application Event Log. Windows will tell you why the application is aborting and where (the module of you application or any DLL).

Make sure all needed files (exe, pbds, dlls, images, icons,ini) are in the same directory. This will eliminate any security issues you may have.

Just thinking: Why instead of your user running the pb application from their terminals, make them run the application from a Folder in a sharedrive in the server. Deploy the application in it and let them run the application from sharedrive:\folder\test.exe

Regards,

Clarence

Hi Teressa;

   If you are running the App through Citrix as a W10 client - then the issue could be because PB 12.x built Apps are not W10 compliant. If this is the case, try creating a short-cut to launch the PB App's EXE but in the short-cut's properties, try and specify the use of a lower MS-Windows "compatibility" mode.

Regards ... Chris

This error doesn't seem to be a PowerBuilder problem.  It seems to be third-party software Performance Series client that is having trouble.

Not sure if this might be useful information. When connecting remotely, access rights many times are different then when working in the office.

We tried that. also tried running in Windows 7 compatibility. The app is intended to be installed locally. I feel that is the only solution. VPN is just to slow and it keeps crashing.

Thanks for your help.
