Hi
I follow the steps to tracking Release management log and i see the error, a component have in the field "File extension filter" the value "*.*", i change this value to "*.config" and deploy is done

Claims authentication: "Server was unable to process request. --- Index was outside the bounds of the array"

Hi there,
I recently got a peculiar error when users tried to log-in into a SP 2010 portal using claims based authentication.
The following error is logged in the event viewer of the SP server in question:
Event ID 8306 - Claims authentication
An exception occurred when trying to issue security token: Server was unable to process request. ---> Index was outside the bounds of the array.
I also found an IIS warning entry with a similar message:
Event ID 1309 - Web Event
Exception type: FaultException
Exception message: Server was unable to process request. ---> Index was outside the bounds of the array.
I simply could not find an answer to why this happened, but an iisreset seemed to have fixed the issue. I was wondering if anyone here would know a possible root cause for this issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Kreangsak,
It seems that you need to initialize you tables, parameters for rfc function
Dim Wmdvex As Test6.BAPIWMDVETable
Dim Wmdvsx As Test6.BAPIWMDVSTable
Wmdvex = new Test6.BAPIWMDVETable()
Wmdvsx = new Test6.BAPIWMDVSTable()
If there is other table, you need to initialize them with new operator. Null tables does not accepted.
If you problem goes set the call stack's "show non-user code" property and send the stack.

Script component Fail: System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array

In SSIS package “script component” is failing due to the following exception. This exception is occurring sometimes only.  This
script component contain Try/Catch, still it’s failing. What could be the reasons for this exception?

posted before this with more information about the failure.

Thanks for your reply. Please consider the following points too.
1. In this code I don't use any array or list
2. This exception is not happening always, when running the package again some time success some time failing.
3. More than 100 Million records flow through this script component.
4. I applied Try/Catch for whole script component. In this case script component should ignore the recode and should continue but it is not.
5. Same package running successfully in QA Environment with same data. This exception sometime only occurring in Production environment only.
6. Similar error message appearing three time. Can it be a time out error?

Release Management 2013 Server Web Site throwing "Data at the root level is invalid..." error after applying RM 2013 Update 4

I upgraded our RM Server from 2013 Update 2 to Update 4. During smoke testing, I discovered that the RM approval website would get stuck and display a loading wheel when showing the list of releases. After rebooting the server and uninstalling and reinstalling,

Release Management 2013 Update 3 doesn't display retry button

When using Release management 2013 Update 3. I do not get a button to retry failed releases. I am viewed one answer on here that states the release needs to be automatically created from a build. I tried that solution and it still does not appear.
I am the Release Manager and I have every permission given to my account. Can anyone help me with this.
Thanks

Hi Release Mgmt,
Thanks for your post.
First, please upgrade your Release Management 2013 Update 3 to Release Management 2013 Update 4. Then run your TFS build to trigger the release template, if the release not be executed successfully, open the release in RM Client>>Releases tab, you
will see that Retry Failed Deployment button. Please refer to the discussions and answer reply in this post:

How to index occurrences in the array

Hi Is there a way how we can index each occurrence in the array?
It seems that search ID Array is once and I cannot figure out how to do it.
Please advise
Thanks in advance
Clement
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Do you need only the indexes that matches the search element like this?
The best solution is the one you find it by yourself

I'm getting exception index was out of bound how should i fix it ?

In a timer tick event i have:
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (htmlloaded == true)
try
uri = sourceUrlId + forumsIds[counter] + sourceUrlNumber + 1;
filename = uri.Substring(49);
webBrowser1.Navigate(uri);
htmlloaded = false;
timer1.Enabled = false;
counter++;
countpages++;
catch (Exception err)
string ttt = err.ToString();
if (countpages == numberofpages)
timer1.Stop();
The problem is that in the end forumsIds and counter have the same number. forumsIds have 574 items and in the end counter is 574 too. And counter should be allways less then the forumsIds.

Michael i solved it this way.
First i changed in the top of the form the variable counter to value 0 instead 1 so it will start as 0.
In the GetHtmls method where i used the index 0 first time i did:
uri = sourceUrlId + forumsIds[counter] + sourceUrlNumber + 1;
countpages ++;
counter ++;
So first time counter is 0 index 0 .
Then i move it up by one so now counter value is 1.
Now the timer tick event:
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (htmlloaded == true)
try
uri = sourceUrlId + forumsIds[counter] + sourceUrlNumber + 1;
filename = uri.Substring(49);
webBrowser1.Navigate(uri);
htmlloaded = false;
timer1.Enabled = false;
counter ++;
countpages ++;
if (counter == numberofforums)
timer1.Stop();
catch (Exception err)
string ttt = err.ToString();
So now counter is 1 i'm navigating then counter is 2 now it will navigate again when counter is 2.
Since i navigated first time once when it was 0 this is 3 times.
So now counter will be 3 and the numberofforums is also 3.
And in the document completed event i'm also checking if counter == numberofforums:
if (counter == numberofforums)
timer1.Stop();
else
timer1.Enabled = true;
If counter is not equal to numberofforums keep navigating once they are equal stop the timer and finish the navigations.
So in the end i started from index 0 (counter = 0 ) and navigated last time when counter was 2. That's 3 times navigations. And counter is now 3 and i navigated to 3 forums.
I hope i did it right at least it's working like i wanted i think.
Navigated 3 times and there are 3 forums so i think it's logic.

Management of apps purchased outside the App Store

I really hope Apple eventually gives us a way to convert purchased licensed software to MAS licenses so that everything can be managed together. For example, I owned Acorn, Yojimbo, Coda, Keyboard Maestro, and 1Password prior to launch of the App Store.

When the developer of those apps issues a major paid upgrade to those apps you will be able to purchase them through the MAS if they are available and then you can manage them from the MAS.

Release Management vNext deployment succeeds without deploying the DSC to the target.

All of a sudden, a couple of weeks ago, our vNext releases stopped working.
The log in the release management client says that the release has been deployed successfully, but nothing has actually happened on the target server. The log looks like this (which is bad)...
Copying recursively from \\xxxxx.co.nz\Public\Share\Development\Builds\DispatchService_MAIN\DispatchService_MAIN_1.1.7.0\DispatchService\_PublishedWebsites\DispatchService to C:\Windows\DtlDownloads\DispatchService Component succeeded.
That's all it says. No error, no nothing.
It used to look like this (which was good)...

I have tried many things, and have discovered some clues, but have filed to find a solution.
It seems that it is successfully creating the .mof file on the "Deploy using PS/DSC Server" but then it deletes the .mof file and does not try to do a Start-DscConfiguration with the .mof file.
This is very frustrating, as we have sunk an awful lot of time and money into Microsoft Release Manager.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Leighton,
Thanks for your post.
You’re using TFS 2013 Update 4 and Release Management 2013 Update 4?
Do you mean that the files be copied to C:\Windows\DtlDownloads\DispatchServices folder on target machine as expect, but no file be executed to perform the deploy?
You said the release template works fine a couple of weeks ago, do you know which changes happened on this release template after that week?
Only this current one release template cannot works? Or if you create a new release template to run DSC deploy, it will receive the same result too?

Release management with Azure and Visual Studio Online (Cloud TFS)

What strategy would you use to manage the releasing of versioned software to Azure cloud services (web and worker roles)? We are not looking for continuous integration. We are using Visual Studio 2013 and Visual Studio Online (Cloud TFS).
At one point, we were releasing straight from Visual Studio using the Azure Cloud Project Publish tool. This is really bad practice in my opinion as you can never be sure what you are really releasing. Additionally, there is no automated control on the labeling
or branching of code, or the running of unit tests and code analysis checks.
Next, we employed Release builds on Visual Studio Online. Before deployment, one would edit the appropriate Build Definition (whether it be for Test or Production by and filling in the code label (under the "Get Version" build property) that is to
be released. This would then get the appropriate code (by the label specified), build it, and release it to whatever cloud service is specified in the targeted Cloud Project profile (this is using the AzureContinuousDeployment.11.xaml template).
There is still a degree of manual intervention involved. Also, the fact that a version of code is built every time before it is released is not ideal (as far as I understand it would be better if it was packaged once).
Microsoft Release Management tools
look ideal for the job, but are not supported with Visual Studio Online.
Is there a better way of handling our releases?

/waves hand.. These are not the tools you seek. You are looking for continuous integration.
Although CI has the word continuous in there, it does not mean "all the time, every checkin". It can easily refer only to those bits you want to release - -and the way to tell the system which bits you want released is to merge them to a Releases
branch.
If you do this, not only do you get all the joy of controlled CI, but you guarantee what you release is exactly what is controlled in your SCM - under the Releases branch, preferably tagged or otherwise noted as a particular release. That means you can also
rollback to a previous release by simply reverting to a previous release in your SCM!
Of course you don't have to let it happen automatically, you can set it up to build 'continually' and then remove the check on the SCM to see if any changes have been committed. You can replace this with the manual build button.

Release Management performance - Each step takes over a minute to complete

We have set up a Release Management pipeline using vNext Release Templates with PS/DSC. We noticed that every release step takes about 1:47m to complete, whereas the actual tasks that are performed within each step (i.e. copying the component and executing
the PowerShell script) take only a few seconds. We tested this by copying files and executing PowerShell scripts outside of Release Management.
One of our deployments took about half an hour to complete (and should have taken only a few minutes). (I wanted to include a screenshot but got "Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account." when trying to
submit this question.)
We also tested this with a minimal component, containing only one file (one PowerShell script), but even then the deployment took about 1:47m.
Can you tell us what the reason is for this delay? What should be done in order to speed up this process?

Hi Frank,
Does this Release Management performance isssue occurred when you use it at first time? Do you have any setting on your TFS? Would you please tell us your TFS version?
If you have any repro steps, please share with us, thank you.
Best Regards,
Dear Molly,
Yes, this issue has occurred right from the beginning when we started using Release Management.
Could you please clarify what you mean by "do you have any setting on your TFS"? As far as I know, our TFS installation is a straightforward and normal one.
Our TFS version is TFS 2013.
The steps to reproduce (in the simplest scenario) are as follows:
Create a new project in Visual Studio 2013, containing one PowerShell script file. In the script file, perform a simple command such as "New-Item E:\Temp3 -itemtype directory -force".
Perform a successful build of the project, making sure that the script file is copied to the drop folder.
Create a vNext Component in the Release Management Client, that refers to the directory in the drop folder that contains the script file.
Create a new vNext Release Template in the Release Management Client, containing one "Deploying using PS/DSC" action. In that action, set the PSScriptPath to the script file we created.
Perform a new Release using the Release Template we just created. The Deploy action will take a long time, even though the script itself takes less than a second to run.
Please let me know if you need any more information.

Release Management and Dsc - How to queue a build when a release is in progress?

I have VSO and Release Management 2013.4 working and deploying to Azure vm's via DSC
The build profile is set to trigger on commit to the Git repo and the release template is set to be triggered on successful build from TFS
However if a developer commits in quick succession the resultant builds cause releases to overlap in RM? - this causes some of the releases to fail with a DSC error ("the consistency check or pull cmdlet is in progress....")
Is there a way to force RM to prevent concurrent releases? (based on the same release template and build profile)

Thats correct - in this instance its VSO as source control and using the hosted release management to attempt to deploy to azure vms
And yes build takes about 5 minutes but the release template can take up to 15 minutes to run - this means that a second build can cause the same release template to run again (its set to trigger on build)
Error log from RM
