Error in UtyNotesSearch after Migrating

[asanzo]

Hi all!!

We are migrating an app that uses Smallcycle from VA 6.0 to 8.0.2.
We did the config map import flawlessly, but when starting the image again we got this problem: http://forums.instantiations.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4930&p=15358, and solved it as the topic says.

Now, we get the following error (I presume is unrelated to the previous one):

"The following error(s) were detected during the startup sequence which may interfere with correct operation:
1) Primitive failed in: UtyNotesSearch>>#setupSearch: due to OS error 126"

This is the piece of stacktrace where it occurs:

Code: Select all

(...)

UtyNotesSearch(Object)>>#error:
   self=an UtyNotesSearch
   aString='Primitive failed in: UtyNotesSearch>>#setupSearch: due to OS error126'
UtyNotesSearch(Object)>>#primitiveFailed:withArgument:backUp:
   self=an UtyNotesSearch
   errorCode=18
   argument=126
   backUp=1
UtyNotesSearch(Object)>>#primitiveFailed
   self=an UtyNotesSearch
UtyNotesSearch>>#setupSearch:
   self=an UtyNotesSearch
   anOrderedCollection=DirectedMessage (an UtyNotesSearch, #foundMatch:summary:, ())
UtyNotesSearch>>#perform
   self=an UtyNotesSearch
   results=OrderedCollection()
   formulaObject=0
   viewObject=*UtyOSPtr {16r00000000}
   sinceObject=*UtyOSPtr {16r00000000}
   msg=DirectedMessage (an UtyNotesSearch, #foundMatch:summary:, ())
   address=nil
   rc=nil

(...)


The code of that method is:

Code: Select all

UtyNotesSearch>>setupSearch: anOrderedCollection
   "Setup the DLL search callback function and answer
     the address of the callback."

   <primitive: 'UTYNOTES.DLL':UtyNotesSearchSetup>
   ^self primitiveFailed

Thanks in advance for any kind of help!

HI

IIRC OS Error 126 is a DLL that's not found. So nothing in your Smalltalk code but the setup of your windows environment.

Look for UTYNOTES.DLL and see if it's either in your PATH or in the image or /vast/bin directory.

Let us know if it helped.

Hi Joachim!
Thanks for your response.

I've read it on several blogs, but what seems odd is that

• I don't have notes.dll or utynotes.dll anywhere on my filesystem or on the server's filesystem.
• I googled those dlls and looked for them on dll sites and nothing came up.
• Previous version of VA didn't seem to have problems, or didn't seem to need those files. (in order to connect to smallcycle server)

So I compared both old and new bin folders and copied every missing dll in the new bin folder, and the problem is solved
The files seemed to be utynw20.dll and utypk1w4.dll, but to be sure I copied every other dll I could find (except older versions).

Thank you very much for your guidance.

Well - UTYNOTES.DLL - is not a dll from Lotus Notes, but it seems to be a wrapper library around notes (delivered from ?), but it is very special for VASmalltalk. Please notice the calling convention #primitive used in your example - therefore this dll contains c code specially written for Smalltalk (and therefore it is highly unusual to find it on the web).

Actually I would expect to see "UTYNOTES.DLL" somewhere on your system - but perhaps you may look at the content of the classVariable "SharedLibrary" or "Aliases" of the class PlatformLibrary and perhaps you detect some redirection ....

An absolute genious

Code: Select all

PlatformLibrary libraryAtIndex: 49 "PlatformLibrary[UTYPK - > 'UTYPK1W4']"
PlatformLibrary libraryAtIndex: 50 "PlatformLibrary[UTYNOTES.DLL - > 'UTYNW20.DLL']"
PlatformLibrary libraryAtIndex: 51 "PlatformLibrary[NOTES.DLL - > 'NNOTES.DLL']"

Thank you very much!!

Perhaps your problem is an indicator that we should provide a little more information in the error message (such as the real name of an aliased .DLL). I'll make a note to look at this for a future enhancement -- Case 48114.
