Customization corrupted all the time

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by AlexDupuis 310

Hi, 

I'm working on Dynamicvs SL 2011 FP1 (version 8.13.60522.00) installed on Windows server 2008 64bits. 

Most of the time (not always), when I'm doiing changes to my customization in VBA, the program crash and after that, I can't open it, I get a Windows crashed application screen. Export don't work neither, what I'm ending up is working in text editor, import my changes, test and loop back in the text editor. Adding new fields this way is a pain. 

Hopefully someone will be able to help me to fix this issue. 

Thanks.

    Hi Erich, thank you for you time, hopefully someone will have an idea of what that could be.

    Someone told me that it could be because I imported cst files with VBA insted of the binary. I may try something related to that, just delete everything and recreate the whole thing, I'll see if it fix the issue.

    RE: Customization corrupted all the time

    I think you are right, the hotfix doesn't apply to you.

    There's little more help I can give you.

    Not being even able to export the customization is weird. Do you get to see the export customization list?

    The VBA customizations are kept in the SYS.CustomVBA table using a storage model which I find annoying. Those records might have got corrupted in your case.

    The customization data (the VBA source code, the control properties and positioning, along with any binary design data) is stored in the CustomVBA table using a binary serialization. Because of the so called 30500 bytes per record limit, each customization data might get partitioned so it can expand across several records. The RecordIndex field is used to sort out the separated sections. The export screen (9150000) just dumps the contents of the customization, it doesn't really compile any code. In theory the export is a no-fail operation.

    Having said so, this storage model has been successful for many years. I don't trust it because I'm picky. That's why I never get too greedy in the customization: if you have to code too much inside the customization, better move out the code.

    Check if there's anything fishy in the CustomVBA records. The first two bytes of the PropData field are the size header with a little endian order. 0x2C75 means 29,996 bytes, a full customization data section. A normal customization might expand across a few 0x2C75 full sections and end with the Max RecordIndex of a smaller size. The other CustomVBA fields control the loading access rules and order, they also might have issues.

    I looked at the HotFix, it says to update "solomonwrapper.dll" to version 8.10.31015.00 (2012-10-15) but I'm already to version 8.13.60522.00 (2015-05-22) for this file.

    I will get a look on that hot fix. Sometime, it crash when I try to save, other times, I save my changes, I'm able to close the form but not to open it back, from this point, I can't export it neither, the only thing I can do is import my lastest backup.

    What I'm changing doesn't seem to impact that, sometime it happen when moving a control, sometime when a change things in VBA. But either way, I redo the same change and it work so, it's not a particular change that cause the problem.

    I'll try the hotfix and let you know.

    Thanks.

    Does it crash while you are editing or run-time?

    There is a hotfix for this version about a crash while inserting controls in the forms. Check out article 2773029.
