Vault 2010: Exception has been through by the Target of an invocation

[mark-j-a]

We are having problems from time to time with getting new files into the vault. We continually get an Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

I have no idea what this error means or how to go about fixing it and as per usual the vault help notes don't help at all.

I have attached a jpeg of the actual error message.

If anyone can help with this problem or explain how to go about fixing it, i will be greatly appreciative.

Just as a side note, the files which seem to stopping the check-in process are typical above 30MB would this have anything to do with the problem.

Hi Mark,
You use Vista OS right? it seems caused by a new limit request-filtering feature in IIS7.
You can try:Change the setting in IIS which only allows files up to a certain size to be uploaded. Start->Run-> run as administrator, go to c:\Windows\systems32\inetsrv, and type the following command and execute: appcmd set config "Default Web Site/AutodeskDM" - section:requestFiltering -requestLimits.maxAllowedContentLength:104857600 -commitpath:apphost.
Got this from http://forums.iis.net/p/1108662/1702390.aspx#1702390.

Hope it could help.

Hello,

I am having a similar issue when trying to check parts into Vault.
I am running Windows 7 (x64) and have Vault configured for a single user.
Part size does not seem to be the issue here, this part is only a few KB.
I've attached a screen-shot - I assume this has to do with a IIS setting?

Thanks in advance,

- Felix

Hello,
Is your server also installed on Win 7? ADMS 2010 is not supported on Windows 7. There is a couple threads about such issue, and some user provide some workaround, you can search the forum and have a try. However, I do not think it is officially supported.

Thanks for the quick reply - the server is installed on the same machine, so also Windows 7. I'm new to all things IIS, so implementing a work-around may be challenging... what's ADMS?

Hi Felix,
ADMS means Autodesk Data Management Server, and is not supported on Windows 7. So you may try installing the ADMS on other OS as a workaround.
