When inventor crashes, do you get a CER (Crash Error Reporting) Page? Have you sent that in? What details does it contain?
Abosolutely nothing shows, even in the event viewer. IV just disappears.
As you've made adjustments to try to get this to work, has anything changed in the symptoms -- e.g., number of files before crash, etc.?
each time I run "add projects" its gets a little further, say a few more files.
Are there any errors being reported in the server error log? Is the server on the same machine?
Server isnt on the same machine, there is no errors there either. iv dissapears on scanning local files.
As the process goes through, what can you tell us about the Inventor process' resource utilization? You can see this by simultaneously running Task Manager. One useful column to add to its display is "GDI Objects" -- sometimes exhausting the GDI limit (10,000 objects per process) can cause crashes.
cant add any more columns to T/manager, only shows image name, user name, CPU & mem usage.
Whats Inventor process' resource utilization?
its been dissapearing around the 400 files mark.
Have you tried installing Vault SP2? Does that make a difference?
done! no difference, tried the 2 data management server hot fixes too. even got the 3gig switch too!
If you have a relatively small set of files that reliably causes this to happen, can you send it to us? I can provide FTP link if that helps.
no, sorry.
