Issue with connecting to Cincom Public Repository [7.5.1nc]

Christopher Petrilli
I have a strange situation. If I run 'visualnc' through either the
Explorer, or through the Start menu on Windows XP2, and it loads the
default 'visual.im' image, everything works OK. If, instead, I double
click on the *exact same image*, which loads and runs, but when I try
and connect to the Public Repository, then I get the following dialog:

    Unable to connect to "Cincom Public Repository" because of the
following error:

        Peer communications error.

Any ideas why this might be occurring? They are identical images, just
different in how I ran them

This message is a IP connection failure of some kind.

Do both the working and non-working image run as the same user?

Does ad-hoc SQL work on a local store for both?  Does ad-hoc SQL work
on the public Store for both?

I don't know what the problem might be, but understanding the above
will help narrow it down a bit.

All the best,

That's what I figured, but it makes no sense. See below...

> Do both the working and non-working image run as the same user?

They are run as the same user, on the same machine, one after another,
and the order of running them doesn't matter. I can telnet to the 5432
port on the server without any trouble, and can connect using pgadmin
even.

Unfortunately, I'm traveling, and don't have any access to a local SQL
store at this point.

I'm confused. When you run visualnc, do you mean a windows shortcut by
that name? Else, how does "running visualnc through the Explorer" differ
from "double click" on that image?

Also, how do you explain that 'visualnc' (note the 'nc' part) is exactly
the same as visual.im (note there is no 'nc' part)?

I double click on the 'visual.exe' file, it loads a "default" image,
and that works. When I click on the exact same "default image" (i.e.
visualnc.im), it doesn't work.

Could this be related to a "default working folder" problem?
I have seen this before -- usual default folder is
    VWxx/image
sometimes its not depending on how you invoke things.

But they are different, you said it yourself, visual.exe launches visual.im and clicking on visualnc.im launches visualnc.im,

Re: Issue with connecting to Cincom Public Repository [7.5.1nc]

But you were clicking of visual.exe not visualnc.exe? Vm considers image with the same name as default. The easy way to find out is to edit store profiles in each and compare carefully,

In the case of Visual Works 7.5 NC, there is no visualnc.exe
installed. Instead, it is visual.exe.

This is a stab in the dark, but maybe you are actually using  two
different VMs and only one has permission via your window's firewall.
  To verify they are the same or different engine, after you start up
VW, do something like:
    CEnvironment commandLine

And if they are different, try with the same engine.  Or temporarily
disable your firewall software.

OK.  The reason I asked was in case the run parameters set a user somehow.

Another launch question comes to mind.  Do you perhaps have the .im
extention associated with a different VM from the one you use in the
start menu?

OK

Right, but you could use ad-hoc SQL to connect to the public store
from both images perhaps?

Here's what I get when I run it via either the shortcut:

#('C:\Program Files\Cincom\vw7.5nc\bin\win\vwnt.exe' 'c:\Program
Files\Cincom\vw7.5nc\image\visualnc.im')

And here's what I get with clicking on the Image file:

 #('C:\Program Files\Cincom\vw7.5nc\bin\win\visual.exe' 'C:\Program
Files\Cincom\vw7.5nc\image\visualnc.im')

Interestingly enough, neither prompted me with the firewall to
connect.  It seems if I manually drag the image to the vwnt it works
fine, but not on visual... I'll hvae to reviw this later.
