Stack trace: Invalid attempt to call WinAPI.pathExists running in CIL on the client.

Hi All,

I wrote a Sysoperation service to create folders in filesystem and output SSRS reports into them.

The code for creating folders & saving reports into them is running correctly on own. But, when I try to run it in using a Sysoperation Service, I get the below error:

"Stack trace: Invalid attempt to call WinAPI.pathExists running in CIL on the client."

I am not sure whether CIL is allowed to access WinAP methods. Has anyone encountered this earlier?

Best Regards,

Michael Brown

    Hi Michael,

    u can use

    WinAPI::folderExists(path);

    to validate folder path.

    Hi Mukesh,

    Thanks for replying. "WinAPI::folderExists" is the very statement that is throwing error!

    This is somewhat annoying as I have written a lot of code around this and now it is stuck at the last step.

    Best Regards,

    Hi Mukesh,

    I could resolve it by using

    System.IO.File::Directory(path);

    instead of

    System.IO.File::Exists(path);

    Thanks for pointing me in right direction.

    Hi Folks,

    I have written code which was originally working fine in AX4 but after recoding it in AX2012 R2 - the final part of the code calls the call smmOutlookEmail - to generate an email including details of a purchase order which has been coded off the back of a sales despatch note.

    My issue is that all working fine until smmOutlookEmail.new is called and I get the error;

    Stack trace: Invalid attempt to call smmOutlookEMail.new running in CIL on the client.

    Anyone any ideas on a way round this??

    Hi Kauto,

    Is outlook available on the machine which is running CIL code(Server)? If not, you can send mail using .Net objects. Below link shows an example of same.
