"Catastrophic failure" exception on export...

Hi,
I am working on .Net application that uses CRXIR2 embedded server as a 3rd party reports application.
I am trying to run a report based on a stored procedure, and got this "catastrophic" exception:
Catastrophic failure at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintOutputControllerClass.Export(CrReportExportFormatEnum exportFormat, Int32 Reserved)...
ErrorCode = -2147418113
when i run:
crystalBytes = reportClientDocument.PrintOutputController.Export(ConvertToCrysalExportFormat(format), 0);
I tried looking up this exception and error code, and all i got was somethong related to SQL server 2000.
I'm using SQL server 2008...
Also, when running other reports based on database views, the reports ran successfully..
Does anyone have an idea?...
Thank you,
Dana.

Hi,
I think I've found the problem.
I changed my stored procedure parameters, from int to bigint.
I ran the report in the designer, using the new stored proc - it worked ok.
when i run it using RAS, i first set parameter values using :
reportClientDocument.DataDefController.ParameterFieldController.SetCurrentValue("", parameter.Name, this.logId);
where logID is of long datatype.
when i change it to int, i don't get the exception.
Is it not possible to set a report parameter value to long datatype?

Catastrophic failure ( Exception From HRESULT:0x8000FFFF (E_UnExpected))

Received this error after installing the desktop client from Azure.
Created LS app, deployed to Azure, Installed client, received the error.
I am currently running VS2013 Update 4 and Silverlight 5 (5.1.30514.0). The client download and installs, but on execution, I get the error.
I read the article below, but to no avail.... Any ideas?

I managed to resolve this. Being that the application is in beta, there is no SSL attached to it. I tweaked the config to not require encryption and it worked. I'm having another issue now...
I published an update to the same application. When I run it from my desktop, it shows the application has been updated and to run the application again. Well, everytime I run it, I get the "Updated successfuly" message and advised to run the application
again. I found a blog post regarding the same issue, but his resolution did not work for me. Here is the link: http://jandho.blogspot.com/2012/09/out-of-browser-ls-app-keeps-on-showing.html

Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED)) in biztalk pipeline

I am working pipeline component , where I am reading stream and then promoting properties something like this . As I am using streamreader I added using statement. But when i add this I got error Reason: Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT:
0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED)) . I am not understanding what it mean? If I removed using statement it works fine no issue. Can somebody explain me.
Note: I am planning to convert this code with stream pipeline later. But right now have to maintain below existing code, which I am trying to add using statement.
if (pInMsg.BodyPart != null)
if (originalStream != null)
using(StreamReader sReader = new StreamReader(originalStream))
StringBuilder sBuilder = null;
while (sReader.Peek() != -1)
sBuilder = new StringBuilder(sReader.Read());
if (sBuilder.ToString().Substring(0, 2) == "test")
string[] TCount = sBuilder.ToString().Split(SepratorChar.ToCharArray());
testCount= Convert.ToInt32(TCount [1]);
string srcFileName = Path.GetFileName(pInMsg.Context.Read("ReceivedFileName", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/file-properties").ToString());
pInMsg.Context.Promote("EDIFileName", "https://Zones._870.EDIProperty", srcFileName);

//pInMsg.BodyPart.Data = originalStream;
//outMsg = pInMsg;
//outMsg.BodyPart.Data = originalStream;
//return outMsg;
return pInMsg;

I think this synatx should solve that issue

"Catastrophic Failure" trying to export from Crystal Reports Explorer v10.5

In using Crystal Reports Explorer v10.5 (add on to Crystal Enterprise v10) I am trying to export just over 211k records to MS Word.
The data is coming from a Business View (created in Business View Manager) that uses an OLEDB connection to an Oracle database.
I get the following error message:
CrystalReportVIewer
Error caught in ICrystalReportGridViewerImpl::render
webReporting.dll '0x80004005'
Catastrophic failure
line: 16031
I have no idea what's causing this or how to resolve it. Can anyone assist? Thank you!!
Edited by: AmberDoreen on Mar 21, 2009 2:03 AM

No - it doesn't work with any of the viewers and the same error occurs. I think we've determined that it's due to the amount of data and the % of resource allocation in order to export the results. The query behind the data is pretty complex, and the Oracle views that are being accessed are also pretty beefy. It's just a huge hit on resources. I've advised my client to provide more filters & reduce the amount of returned rows to see if that clears things up. I'm waiting to hear if they are successful. Thanks for responding, though! I'll update once I hear from the client.

ICE: Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF(E_UNEXPECTED)) from Windows Embedded Media Creator

Windows Embedded Standard 8 ICE Toolkit
when I attempt to Create IBW Image from Configuration....
joeEmbed

Sean, i figured it out. I have to choose the "folder" option, because the "flash" disk option doesn't recognize that I have any USB sticks plugged in when I do. However, when I choose the "folder" option, I point to the root
of my USB drive (a USB drive that I've previously used as a WES8 IBW boot drive and only deleted the contents) and that's when this "catastrophic" error occurs. I discover that I need to create a bootable IBW USB drive each time in order for this
method to work. Its a pain to go through the whole "disk part" procedure to make a bootable disk. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks, Joe

RFC call ended with "Communication Failure" exception (Function call failed; could not find the function

Hi All,
I am getting error while executing oDATA service from SAP Netweaver Gateway
Error details:
RFC call ended with "Communication Failure" exception (Function call failed; could not find the function
I am using SAP NG 740
Project is created in Gateway system using SEGW having Map to Datasource option used.
in SPRO manage alias, I had seleted Local App option. Screen attached
I had tried all troubleshooting like delete and add service and alias in "/IWFND_MAINT_SERVICE".
but still getting same error for all service.
Kindly advise.
Regards
Vivek

Hello Vivek,
Service builder would have also generated code for RFC Exception handling to catch exceptions raised when communication fails between your GW and BE for some reasons.
Handling is done for 1. System Failure 2. Communication Failure & 3. Business Failure;
Put a BP in your DPC or DP_EXT class where exception code is written to check what exactly is has caused communication failure.
Check if that RFC is existing in that destination or not.
For your reference : Code would be something like this. Put BP here and check the problem.
* Error and exception handling
IF lv_subrc <> 0.
* Execute the RFC exception handling process
   me->/iwbep/if_sb_dpc_comm_services~rfc_exception_handling(
     EXPORTING
       iv_subrc            = lv_subrc
       iv_exp_message_text = lv_exc_msg ).
ENDIF.
Go inside this method and check to get info on what has to be done to resolve issue.
Check carefully what has gone wrong and fix it accordingly.
No need of adding service & deleting as problem is not because of that.

Ashwin

Using Windows 7 Professional, as soon at I try to start a system restore, I receive error message "Incorrect function. (0x80070001)" and "Catastrophic failure (0x80000FFFF)." How can I avoid this and perform my system restore?

Windows Explorer has stopped responding for the most part and I found http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2694911 list of solutions. After working through all of the first options on the list, I tried a system restore three different points
but got the same two errors: "Incorrect function. (0x80070001)" and "Catastrophic failure (0x80000FFFF)."

Hi TAS,
Regarding the error message, I recommend you try to this :
"0x8000ffff" error message when you try to restore a Windows 7-based computer by using System Restore

If your issue persists, let me known.

8000FFFF catastrophic failure

In an ASP page we get the following message when trying to connect to an Oracle database via Oracle ODBC driver:
provider error 8000FFFF catastrophic failure.
The error is random.
The server configuration is:
NT 4.0 SP5
IIS 4.0
MDAC 2.6 (same problem with 2.5 and 2.5 SP1)
Oracle ODBC driver 8.1.5.5
SQL Server 7
SMS 2.0
Trend Micro antivirus suite
Oracle 8i 8.1 is installed on another server.
Do you know what can cause it?
Thanks in advance.

You should try updating both the ODBC driver and the Oracle client patchset (I believe 8.1.5.1.2 is the latest). If that doesn't work, you can try turning on tracing to see what the last ODBC call made is-- that will help isolate the problem.

Problem "The OLE DB provider for linked server reported an error. The provider reported an unexpected catastrophic failure Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider for linked server"

hi
i'd like to ask question about linked server.
my linked server used to work but now when i try to select from linked server i was told "The OLE DB provider for linked server reported an error. The provider reported an unexpected catastrophic failure Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider
for linked server"
but in fact for test connection i was told "the test connection to the linked server succeeded".
could anyone help me? thank u very much
best regards
martin

Hi,
In addition to Tracy's post we have to know those answers as well:
* what provider are you using for the connection
* what do you connect to
for example, if someone try to connect to oracle using sql server provider then several simple queries are going to work probably OK, but once you are trying to use T-SQL or any complex SQL query then the errors are starting.
please post the connection string (without the password!) + the query that you are trying to use.

Update 10.7.4 has triggered MBP catastrophic failure.. help!

Please Help!
2009 Macbook Pro 15.4" 4gb RAM (Unibody)
HD 500.11 GB FUJITUS MJA2...
I tried to install an update for 10.7.4 via the combo package. The update says it failed so I tried to install it again- every time I got to finalizing/moving things around stage of the update it would say that it failed. I believe it may have succeeded, at least partially. I went to restart my machine and now I am stuck at the Apple logo Grey screen. I have tried the following:
Shift for safemode: it got me through to user login once, but then I hit restart and reset the PRAM and after that no more safe mode success.
Safemode now fills up the progress bar to a certain point and then the bar just dissapears and I'm left with the spinning gear of infinity.
Verbose mode/single user mode: got me to a screen white text ending in:
"mac framework successfully initialized using 16384 buffer headers and 10240 cluster I0 buffer headers"
There is no input allowed.
Target mode successfully gives me the target symbol, but I have not tried to access it as a drive.
I have managed to boot into CMD-R recovery mode and tried to repair my disk. Unfortunately it reads in red 'Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk....disk, and restore your backed-up files.' Upon 'Verify Disk' it red errors out with: Invalid node structure. The volume Macintosh HD coudl not be verified completely. Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk.
when I try to do other boot-key combos sometimes it will just turn on for a brief second and then turn back off again.
I have never tinkered around inside my machine either.
I don't have a current backup, I suppose that is what I will be doing now via target mode.
I have also checked for the flashback virus a couple weeks ago and was in the clear.

2009 MacBook Pro eh? It looks like your hard drive has failed. Three years is pretty standard. Often, then only hint you have is catastrophic failure.
If you put the old hard drive into an external enclosure or similar device, you may still be able to migrate your data from it. Just because it won't boot doesn't mean you can't still read from it. Still, I wouldn't keep trying it. As long as you are buying a new hard drive, may as well get sometime to use with Time Machine too.

"catastrophic failure" in Teststand database viewer using mySQL

Hello all,
I am using Teststand 3.1 and mySQL version 5.0.3 I have everything set up and teststand seems to be logging results to the database. The reason I say this is because I can see the data using a mySQL query browser. The problem is when I try to use the Teststand database viewer I get a "Catastrophic Failure". I right click on a field from the database and say view data and I get the failure. Any ideas on what this problem is and/or how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
EHat

EHat -
I just debugged this problem last week using MYSQL source for their ODBC driver. This appears to be a bug in their ODBC driver.
Basically the MS DataGrid control is trying to access catalog info from a handle that has not yet been connected to the database. Internally in MYSQL a function table is null and a dereference occurs which causes an access violation. Even though the MS control should be better behaved, the MYSQL driver should be returning an error if the table is null, not crashing.
For the next version of TestStand we will workaround this problem. I have an updated DatabaseViewer that you can try attached to this posting.

Recovering from catastrophic failure - keys and media - help?

Not sure if this is the right place, but it looks like a good place to start...
Situation is:
- MacbookPro catastrophic failure.
- Can't locate original media (not even sure of the version but I think it was a couple versions back of Creative Suite)
- Foolishly didn't record License Keys other than electronically... on the failed computer
I'd love to reinstall on a soon-to-be-purchased new MacbookPro, but I haven't a clue how to round up the needed items (media and license keys).
Does Adobe have a way to find out what products I have registered?
Can they provide downloadable media images and license keys for those versions?
Any other suggestions?
(Yes, I know... buy the new version, but looking to use license I already have since I'm staring at the cost of a new MacBookPro)
Thanks to all.

Thanks Mylenium.
It dumps me to a series of questions trying to isolate my problem (none of which matches) before it dumps me at a page saying my support options are the forums.
Any other ideas?

I am always getting a General Failure Exception

Hello,
I have been working on a UDO form.
Recently my code is generating "General Failure" Exceptions at parts where the code worked a couple of days ago!
My add-on was working perfectly before, and I haven't changed anything in it.
It is setting a general failure exception, when i set the String property of an EditText object, and when i set a form's visible property to true.
What could be the problem?
Thanks
