Error message: Automation server can't create object

Hello
I'm currently receiving the error message: 'Automation server can't create object' when trying to view reports. This only happens when i try to view them through the IIS server using the .net launchpad. It happens with both reports that i have produced and Feature example reports, it also happens from both client machines and the server.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
regards
Matt

Hi,
I am not sure if you still are having this issue. In my experience I have seen this issue if for all the BO related services the rights are not proper. These have to be given from dcomconfig.
Hope this helps

Automation server can't create object when calling a jsp from a button

Hello,
I have created the following jsp that allow me to execute an external program that is located on the client side:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
If I call this jsp in a simple html page is works correctly when i call it from a button in apex (3.0) I got the error message Automation server can't create object.
Any idea ?
Thanks,
Claude-Alain

Hi Claude,
Just be sure that you really (like really) trust your endusers, because I can see some huge opportunities for exploiting that JavaScript routine you've shown. If you're not taking steps to prevent cross site scripting (search this forum or Google for details on what that is), then it's not beyond the bounds of possibility for someone to do something 'nasty' which would do horrible things to your end users if your executing a program on their client machines without any warning or validation of what that program actually does.
Sometimes it's best to work backwards from the point of view of....what if you walk into work one morning and find that 400 end users machines have had their hard-drives wiped because the script arbitrarily executes whatever command you pass to it? Then you can perhaps see that what sometimes looks like a good idea might not be such a good idea after all ;)

Automation server can't create object ActiveXObject jsp

Hi
Below code snippet is completely working fine on IE when it is embedded in an HTML document.
          var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); // creating a Scripting FileSystemObject.
          var fh = fso.CreateTextFile("data.xml", true); // creating a file handler variable which is pointing to the given file.
          fh.WriteLine(str); // Writing str value to file through file handler variable.
          fh.Close(); // closing the file handler object.
But when I am embedding the same snippet in a JSP and trying execute on the same IE, it is failing at ""var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");"" and throwing a javascript error as "automation server can't create object".
I have gone through google and could not identify what might gone wrong.
if some had come across the same scenario, pls throw some light on this.
Thanks.

Pretty sure there is a forum specifically for JSP.
But when I am embedding the same snippet in a JSP and trying execute on the same IEJSP executes on the client not in IE.

Error: Internal/Bug( #609) Automation server can't create object

Hi Friends,
I am new to Oracle BPEL.
I am getting the following error message when I click Flow,Audit and Debug tabs after deploying the process.
Error: Internal/Bug( #609) Automation server can't create object
Had anybody faced this problem and resolved it?

IIRC this can be down to browser security setting. You may find you needs to turn some security options on (or at least set to 'prompt' under tools- > internet settings -> secuirty - > custom level... etc

ERROR: Automation server can't create object

Hi,
I am at my wits end, and I hope you can help me. I have
compiled a Webhelp project that runs just fine in Firefox (with the
exception of expanding text but blah blah blah... :P)
When I compile the same project in IE, I get an page loading
error that tells me that "Automation server can't create object"
(with reference to 'whskin_pdfhtml.html' in a file path, and my ToC
is not visible.
My tester, who is on another machine in another location,
tells me HIS ToC loads fine, but he gets an out of memory error at
line 59.
I have trawled thru these forums for an hour now, and I am no
closer to solving this problem. I have tried creating a brand new
empty project with one topic and I get the same error.
Any ideas on what's happening?
Of course, we have a demo tomorrow at 6am.
thanks

Guessing here.
1] You have created webhelp pro when you don't have RoboHelp
Server installed on the server.
2] Your source has some output files in it. The topic
concerned being the one that gives the memory error. This result is
what you get when you view in RoboHelp an output file that has been
imported into the source. I don't know whether it gives the same
error in the output again.
Or are you viewing the help locally instead of from a server?
What version of IE.

Automation server can't create object SapROTWr.SapROTWrapper Wrapper

Hi,
ActiveX control may not be registered on your machine. It may have been
removed/cleaned from your machine, but one of its other components in the
form of an IE Addon is still installed on your machine.
Try running IE8 in no-Addons mode. Start>(All) Programs>Accessories>System

Error launching office client: Automation Server can't create object

Hello friends, i would like to know the solution to an expected error in SAP BPC for MS 10.0. Attached the picture with error. I have tested two scenarios.
1. Client Environment
OS Windows 8
Microsoft Office 7.0 (32 bits)
IE ver 11, version 11.0.9600.17416
I also have been tested on Server environment and failed too.
2. Server Environment
OS Windows 2008 R2
Microsoft Office 10, 64 bits, ver 14.0.7128.5000
IE ver 11, version 11.0.9600.17420
Pls, any recommendation to this situation would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

Hi Daniel
Basically when clicking on that link IE is supposed to launch Excel via an Activex/COM call and the error message says it failed to do that.
The error you are getting is most likely due to the Internet Explorer security settings or due to inability of Internet Explorer to launch the edition of Microsoft Excel installed on that is installed on that workstation.
Please verify the following things:
The edition of Internet Explorer you are running is matching the edition of Excel (if you are running Excel 32 bit make sure you are launching the 32 bit edition of IE and not the 64 bit one).
Under Internet Options -> Security -> (select the appropriate security zone corresponding to your situation) - relax the Activex security until you can find the setting that is preventing Excel to be launched.

This is my kind request to redirect you techies on my problem> I have posted same thing in some old thread.But as its not a good practise,I m starting new thread.
See the post:
http://forum.java.sun.com/post!reply.jspa?messageID=10265047
I m using tomcat server.
My problem is more like Java/J2EE webApp related stuff,where server side code is not able to do some thing on client side. Again,this is my problem:
</br>
Looks like Java script error. All the alerts are coming,but problem comes,when execution comes on line, </br>
var outlookApp = new ActiveXObject("Outlook.Application");
</br>
The same code,if given in HTML file on cleint side,works fine.
</br>
Basically it attaches a docuement in outlook,on client side. Btway when i go for view source of the page from browser,i am not able to get the same code,but it gives me some frameset of Documentum WebTop. Hope that s not creating a trouble.. See Its code,

SBO2004A: Runtime Error 429 ActiveX Component can't Create Object

Hello,
We have an Addon developed with VB6 that run without problems with SBO 6.5.
We have upgraded to SBO2004A and I have referenced in the source code to the 2004 UI and DI. I debug mode (from IDE) we don't have problems, but when I try to execute the addon from a client, I get this error message:
<b>Runtime Error 429 ActiveX Component can't Create Object</b>
Thanks in advance

I'm using Installshield 10.5 to generate the setup file. It's much more easy and not requiered to install Framework 1.1 in each PC client before to install the Addon.
You have to create and msi project, and write the Installscript to retrieve the install directory from parameter string passed by SAP.
After install you must execute the AddOnInstallAPI.EndInstall to notify SAP:
#include "ifx.h"
prototype LONG AddOnInstallAPI.EndInstall();
prototype LONG AddOnInstallAPI.RestartNeeded();
// OnFirstUIBefore
// First Install UI Sequence - Before Move Data

Run-time error '429': ActiveX component can't create object

HI,
I am having the following error in my Excel VBA Run-time error '429': ActiveX component can't create object when running the following code:
Dim objDistiller As New ACRODISTXLib.PdfDistiller6
objDistiller.FileToPDF2 filePath & ".PS", filePath & ".PDF", "T:\Templates\PDFSettings\Standard.joboptions", 1
This code has been working for years on all our systems, but due to recent security issues our administrator changed all user accounts to not have local administrator rights and now when we run this code we get the above error message.
I have had a look at DComcnfg.exe to try and get it to work by setting the default property permissions to allow access by Everyone but I am still getting the error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards.
Shane Chapman.

Hi Shane,
Here is another way to create PDF with Macro using another API than Distiller. This API is faster too.
Probably this post is not of interest anymore but here is how I have done it:
1. Download PDFCreator: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/
2. Use the following Macro:
Option Explicit
Sub printPDFmacro()
'Author : Ken Puls (www.excelguru.ca)
'Macro Purpose: Print to PDF file using PDFCreator
' (Download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/)
' Designed for early bind, set reference to PDFCreator
Dim pdfjob As PDFCreator.clsPDFCreator
Dim sPDFName As String
Dim sPDFPath As String
'/// Change the output file name here! ///
sPDFName = "Facture-" & nclient2 & " le " & Format(Date, "yyyy-mm-dd") & ".pdf"
sPDFPath = "E:\Partenaire Scolaire\Comptabilite\Factures"
PDFFileName2 = sPDFPath & "\" & sPDFName
Set pdfjob = New PDFCreator.clsPDFCreator
With pdfjob
If .cStart("/NoProcessingAtStartup") = False Then
MsgBox "Can't initialize PDFCreator.", vbCritical + _
vbOKOnly, "PrtPDFCreator"
Exit Sub
End If
.cOption("UseAutosave") = 1
.cOption("UseAutosaveDirectory") = 1
.cOption("AutosaveDirectory") = sPDFPath
.cOption("AutosaveFilename") = sPDFName
.cOption("AutosaveFormat") = 0 ' 0 = PDF
.cClearCache
End With
'Print the document to PDF
ActiveSheet.PrintOut copies:=1, ActivePrinter:="PDFCreator"
'Wait until the print job has entered the print queue
Do Until pdfjob.cCountOfPrintjobs = 1
DoEvents
Loop
pdfjob.cPrinterStop = False
'Wait until PDF creator is finished then release the objects
Do Until pdfjob.cCountOfPrintjobs = 0
DoEvents
Loop
pdfjob.cClose
Set pdfjob = Nothing
end sub
Have any questions, just have to poke me.

Vbscript runtime error 429 activex component can't create object

hi i am writing a VB Script where it runs a batch files
but when the batch file is called from the script its giving error as
runtime error 429 activex component can't create object
my script is as follows
strcmd = "utility.bat"
Set wshSystemEnv = wshshell.Environment("USER")
wshshell.Run strcmd
can some one help me with this ?
Thank you

Sorry, your script makes no sense. You never create the object wshshell
and you never use the object wshSystemEnv. Start the code with
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

Runtime Error '429': ActiveX component can't create object

Hi,
I am using below code in vb6 application but this is throwing an "Runtime Error '429': ActiveX component can't create object" error.
CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XoraSession")
is that due to any dll or reference error ?
I have an Oracle client installed on my PC
please share your solution
Thanks in advance

Are either of those 64 bit? If so, your problem is likely related to that.
A 64 bit Oracle client doesn't support OO4O at all, so this code will never work with that client. You need to use a 32 bit one.
If you are using a 32 bit client but on a 64 bit OS, I've found the 11.2.03 installer doesn't properly register the files. Manually registering OraOleDB11.dll may fix it, though we had to do some other registry stuff and it got very ugly. Backing up to a slightly older client should also fix the problem.
