EA Crash by SystemAccessViolation by runReport

[Stefan Bolleininger]

Hi Guys,

Since my try to rollout EA11 i got a problem with some user installations. (It forced me to stop the EA11 deployment)

We are using a little Add-in to enhance the users komfort and decrease the Settings.
Within the Add-in the Command
Project.runReport(Packageguid, template, filename)
is commanded to run the report.

Now, everything wents fine until it comes up to this line.

The runreport ist startet, you will see the full Report-form.
After a short time(report is not started yet) the filename within the form vanishes and the EA crashes.

The problem within the WIN8-failurebox: "SystemAccessViolationException"

Happens with EA1105 and EA1106

The normal Report by using the "Generate Documentation" works fine.

What i currently found out: it is depended on the Windows-User. Some users didn't had that problems (unfortunately noone within my validation team had that problem) and others have if.

For example: My normal windows-user doesn't have if, but my second windows-login on the same Computer has this issue.

Any ideas?

Regards

Stefan

What parameters are you passing to RunReport()?  What are the template and filename values that you are passing in?  Does the user have permission to write to the location specified in the filename?

[Stefan Bolleininger]

The use has the write-permission. (e.g. it is his desktop.)

aproject.RunReport(packageguid,template,filename)

packageguid is a string
Template might be e.g. "System" or "Design"
filename might be any file on the desktop

Best regards

Stefan

Within the problems investigation i didn't found any newer informations.

Even with the normal Documentation, which also drives the RTF-generator, this issue appears.

Any ideas?

This issue (for my case) is fixed in EA 1107.

Unlike Stefan it brakes even in 11.1107 (Trial)
In my case I was generating a RTF or PDF report from a versioned package in TFS.

I tried to checkout the package or generate from a non versioned one but EA still crashes.

I used the Use Case Summary and Use Case Details system templates.

UPDATE: On EA full 11.1107 the problem has gone away.

I'm using 11.1107 and it crashes frequently.  I just ran a report on one package and it was fine; ran it on a second package and it gave me a memory alloc error, tried again and it dies now with an AppCrash.

This happens every few weeks and when I try to reduce it to a simpler model to reproduce the problem, it starts working again.  It almost seems like something in the environment, not the repository contents.  Very frustrating and a huge time waster
