datastore.print() occasionally returns -1 under EAServer 4.2

Post by wpfeiffe »

I have just started using Amyuni (replaced the Acrobat PDF Driver) with EAServer for our PB report engine. Using EAserver 4.2 and PB 8.

My retrieval and printing works for the most part but I occasionally will get a good retrieve and then get a -1 on the print. I have this fail the print job, but the -1 really doesn't yeild much info.

I am having the reports print via multiple threads and am using the example amyuni multithreaded code with the cdintf.dll activex.

My code is attached below.

Any ideas on how to start debugging this?

Thanks,

Bill

public subroutine of_print (datastore anv_ds, string as_filename, string as_print_job);// Create the ActiveX object
// To be able to use the ActiveX interface CDINTF should be registered in your application folder using Regsvr32
oleobject pdfobj

pdfobj = create oleobject


// Connect the pdfobj ole object to the cdintf interface of CDIntf.dll
// To be able to use this dll CDIntf should be registered in Windows.
pdfobj.ConnectToNewObject("cdintfEx.cdintfEx")

// Attach to PDFprinter
pdfobj.DriverInit (PrinterName) // PrinterName is declared as the name of the existing printer
// PDFPrinter.PdfDriverInit "My PDF Export" this is for the developer version to install the printer
// only for the time the application is running and remove it after.


// Set this printer as default
pdfobj.SetDefaultPrinter

// For Each report to be printed:

anv_ds.Object.DataWindow.Print.DocumentName = as_print_job


pdfobj.Lock(as_print_job) // The Lock/Unlock functions are available in version 2.06 of the PDF Converter

pdfobj.SetDocFileProps(as_print_job, 1 + 2, "", as_filename)

// Enable the printer before each printout. This is for the Developer version 2.1
pdfobj.EnablePrinter(LicensedTo,ActivationCode)

anv_ds.Print()

pdfobj.Unlock(as_print_job, 180000) // 3 minutes


// End for each report

pdfobj.DriverEnd()

destroy pdfobj

end subroutine
