EA running through ASP.NET/COM

[clibby]

I have a Delphi application that calls EA via COM to extract a model to XML. This works fine when I run at the command line.

I have a web page that kicks off a script that calls this application. I've set up impersonation so that it uses the same user as when I'm running at the command line. My application successfully starts EA, but EA hangs for a few seconds before returning these errors:

Exception EOleSysError in module ModToXml.exe at 0002D355.
Server execution failed.

and in the event log:

Event Type:Error
Event Source:DCOM
Event Category:None
Event ID:10010
Date:9/12/2005
Time:6:05:32 PM
Description:
The server {67F4E0FA-46A7-4255-B084-69A9433D08C3} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

Any idea how to get this to work?

Never mind - got it working

Good to find out that I am not alone with this problem.
The OLE interface called from a perl script works fine from the command line.
Called from a cgi-bin web server it fails with
Win32::OLE(0.1502) error 0x80080005: "Server execution failed"

Is there any more news on this?

Please enlighten us with the solution. As you can see from the earlier answer this problem is common, but the solution is not.

I believe that this is how we fixed it:

In Component Services you need to go to the DCOM Config folder and select EA.APP component and go to its
properties.

Goto the Identity tab and change the selection to 'This user' and provide the login and password.

That sounds plausible, at least for a single user.

Hello,

I tried a few different permutations for this but, while not understanding what the goal is, I did not succeed :-(

The perl script is running as an CGI from an apache HTTPD service which is running on its own windows userid.

I tried to set the apache httpd and the EA DCOM settings to the same user but this did not work either.....
Any ideas how things should be??

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

we had the same failure in the Java automation interface. A "Unknown Exception" in pre-830 builds are now displayed as "Failed to construct object. Error code: 0x80080005".

Identifying the user that is used to run the DCOM component as described above helped to solve the problem.

Thanks!
