exception when trying to add new connector

[ami]

Hi,
I'm trying to add a new connector to the element and when performing Update(); I'm getting an exception
The server threw an excepption. (exception from HRESULT: 0x80010105(RPC_E_SERVERFAULT)).
any ideas why? what is the meaning of this message?

First thought is that you need to set the connector's ClientID and SupplierID before calling Update. If that isn't the problem, could you show us your code please?

I called Update() after setting client and supplier and yet same exception is showing.
the code is:



Element newElem = (Element)m_ElemUseCase.Elements.AddNew("NewElement", "Activity");
newElem.Update();
Connector con2 = (Connector)newElem.Connectors.AddNew("Con", "Transition");//create connector from new element to one below
con2.ClientID = m_ListActivities[rowIndex].ElementID;
con2.SupplierID = m_ListActivities[rowIndex + 1].ElementID;
con2.Update();


if you dont understand something - ask me...
thanks-
Ami.

Ami,

If normally you shouldn't set the ClientID, only the supplierID (since the connector was added on newElem.
You better check if indeed the ClientID == newElem.ElementID

PS. What version are you on? There could have been a fix for this issue...

Hi geert,
I will check if I have to.
my version is 8.0.858

I just want to say that this is the way I was working till today (I'm talking about the client - supplier) and my code worked just fine, I dont know what went wrong...

Sometimes Repository.GetLastError() provides some useful information.

I will try it and tell you the results

GetLastError() just return an empty string...
so its not EA exception??....
