A problem occured when attemping to check-in

[Anonymous]

I am using Autodesk Inventor 2009 and Autodesk Vault 2009. The operating system is Windows Server 2003 R2 for Vault. This problem happens a least once a day. I try to check-in a dwg into the vault and the screen freezes and nothing else can be done. The error message I receive once the screen becomes unfrozen is The server returned the following informatiom: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. Is there some setting in vault that I have missed? I have included a screen pic of the error.

The Vault server installed this hotfix at

 ?
If not, this hotfix should resolve the problem.

I went to www.autodesk.com, then Services & Support, went the drop down menu under Knowledge Base and selected Autodesk Vault. I was brought to a page called Autodesk Vault Services & Support where I typed Hotfix : DWG Property Re-Indexing – Server Hang in the search area.
Another page appeared with the zip file ts1087486.zip.

I have installed the fix.
Thank you for your help.

We've also enountered this error recently when trying to ADD and CHECKIN files using Vault 2008

A problem occurred while attempting to add the file to the server. Would you like to continue adding any remaining files?
The server returned the following information: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

Also the vaulting performance is extremely poor. The Server guys have performed an ADMS Defragmentation which has made things useable again but at times it just hangs.

Will this patch also address our issue ?

No, the hotfix is for Vault 2009. Maybe the vlog of
ADMS would have some information why it happen. If so, you could log a report
with product support or post the vlog to this newsgroup. Also provide
information on when it happen, so it is easy to indentify from the
vlog.

vlog can be found, for example on a Windows XP Pro,
the default path is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Autodesk\VaultServer\FileStore

I have the exact same problem with Vault 2008.
Did you find a solution?
I look at my vlog file to try to find what's going wrong but I'm not a computer wiz so I don't understand what that vlog file is telling me...can someone translate this in human langage?
This "invocation problem" start a few week from now...is there any known automatic microsoft update that is causing this problem?

We're still getting the error ocassionally, no solution yet

[smjanows]

I'm going to reopen this thread since I'm having issues as well, and have seen some consistency.

I'm getting this error with parts that have OLE links, such as an image for a decal. It often depends on the number of decals. For example one decal works, with two it will not check into the vault and throw the exception error. It's the same image file for both decals.

On another part I can have 2 of those decals but not three. I tried placing the linked image file into different locations on the drive (a texture library on a server as well as the same folder as the part file) with no difference in behavior.

The decal is a 476KB JPEG file.

I did notice that the decal image file is shown as unresolved for all but the first one in the links editor. It's the same file.

Inventor 2009 SP2.
Vault 2009 with the hotfixes mentioned in previous posts.

Had this problem in Vista x64 and now 7 x64 as well. I will attempt this with a non-production 2010 Vault and 2010 Inventor.

[smjanows]

So I have a solution for my particular case. I down scaled the decal image to 1000x1000 pixels for a file size of 97KB. With the smaller file size the problem went away.

So a question for Autodesk: Is there a file size limit on 3rd party links in part files? Base on my experience the answer is yes, but what it is I don't know.
