On Windows XP PCs, I recently installed Dev Studio 7.7.03. When I boot the WinXP PC, I receive an error message about FDS Application Error and referecing memory could not be "read"

I have WebFocus7703 service set up with the
Log On user name/password being the same that I use to start my PC. The service starts.

WebFocus and my application seem to work.

What is causing the FDS error when I boot my PC?

Hi all,

FYI, Brad has a case opened regarding this issue.

Brad, when you have a solution from the case, can you please post it here for future reference? Thank you in advance for sharing with all.

Cheers,

Kerry

What's the ticket#?

We're seeing something similar on Windows 2008-64; fds.exe is reported to have crashed by Windows. If we run it from a cmd prompt, we see:

03/28/2012 16:12:14.612  errmes: "error in HLIABN: failed to open acceptor for subsystem 'IBIS    ', code 0

"

Is this what you're getting too? What does that error message mean?!? Neither me nor Google have ever heard of HLIABN...

HLI might refer to Host Language Interface -- the published API for navigating a FOCUS file. It is (or once was) used internally by TABLE and MODIFY.

If so, I would guess that HLIABN is its abend-handling subroutine.

That's stuff it does in the evening, I take it? (http://translate.google.com/#auto|en|abend)

Yes, but only if you're located in Germany.

It is Case: 8078-2546.
Still trying to resolve.

I did find this among the known problems for 7.7.03M:
https://techsupport.informatio...oblems/80532546.html

Apparently it has to do with long APPPATH settings. Unfortunately the description doesn't mention how long...
This particular problem was fixed in 7.7.04 according to the above, but there doesn't seem to be a hotfix for us poor 7.7.03 users?!?

I tried shortening our APPATH to the bare minimum (still ~350 chars long), but that's apparently still too much.

Funny, I just got off the phone with a WF support tech for a problem in our 7.6 environment, who claimed that 7.7 was much more stable than 7.6 was.

Thanks for the info.

The strange thing is that we are insatlling on over 100 sites. The FDS error occurs only on XP sites (not Win7) and not on all sites.

Still investigating. Will look at the APPPATH.
Thanks

Any news on this? Any ETA for a patch?

Support uploaded a Trace file but I have not heard anyhting yet.
