We were in the middle of an 8008 upgrade. We have been dealing with some App Studio funk - so I decided to upgrade my dev environment to 8009 in hopes that App Studio played a bit nicer.

After upgrading Client and Server to 8009 - and my local App Studio to 8009 - I'm now getting a (WFC 2047) AppStudio communication layer generated error 2047.

Eventually - App Studio does seem to connect to the dev environment - however- navigating between content folders is now taking about 60 seconds from clicking - to responding.

I have logged a support ticket for this - but I thought I should throw it out on Focal Point in case anyone has a suggestion.

It "appears" the Client/Server upgrade went fine - our apps are functioning in a reasonably speedy manner.

This "seems" localized to communication between App Studio and the server - but that's speculation on my part.

I am thoroughly interested in updates on this subject.

Suggestions? Do I need to roll back to 8008? Think a fix will come for 8009 soon?
I'm in limbo here.

As seen in earlier Focal Point posts - it's desirable to keep client/server/App Studio in synch - so today I'll spend a chunk of time un-doing what I did yesterday.

8009 is still available for download this morning. May be a good idea to wait for a bit to try an upgrade.

IBI provided a hotfix that appears to be working.

Do you have a link for this hotfix? I'm having the exact same issue you are having just upgraded to 8009 server and Appstudio.

IBI Attached it to my support ticket.

If you open a support ticket - I'm sure they can hook you up.

Thanks. I opened up a ticket yesterday afternoon. Still waiting to hear from them. I hope they get this resolved soon.

So, despite what I heard about hot fixes (no more hot fixes) a hot fix was provided.

We're are v8.0.08 and because App Studio v8.0.08 is pretty unusable, we tried v8.0.09 and had the same poor performance with it.

I did receive a hot fox for this and it is now behaving much more responsively.

FYI: I've spent the past couple of weeks on 8009 AppStudio - with the hot fix.

So far - so good (knock on wood).

One issue I've noticed is opening up an HTML document that was created in 8008. When I open it up in AppStudio 8009, the image references are broken and the only way I can correct it is to delete the image and re-add it (changing the source of the image doesn't work ether). I have a case opened for that as well.

I noticed a page created in 8008 – but then upgraded to 8009 – lost the “hook” to show which *.fex populated a dropdown. It was confusing – because the page operated properly – but it was hard to tell “why” it was working when looking at the code.

I opened a case for that too. In the end – I just re-wired the dropdowns in 8009 – and all seems to be working.

Thanks very much for doing the QA on this product, much appreciated

Hi, Can someone point me to the hotfix i am experiencing the same issues, error at start and very poor performance.

Also can i ask when the hotfix is applied do any services restart?

cs_source: Log a case for the hotfix.

To be clear - the hotfix is for your local PC that you do App Studio development with. It's not for the report or web serer.
