I have a programmer who is making a call to GoldMine and loading the gm7s32.dll file, and the connection attempt gets no return for perhaps 5 minutes, after which it gets a return of -4. This doesn't always happen, and on some machines it apparently never happens. I don't see anything that would explain why this is so. Here's the call he's making.
| Code: |
Private Declare Function GMW7_LoadAPI Lib "gm7s32.dll" Alias _
"GMW_LoadAPI" ( _
ByVal sSysDir As String, _
ByVal sGoldDir As String, _
ByVal sCommonDir As String, _
ByVal sUser As String, _
ByVal sPassword As String) As Long
rc = GMW7_LoadAPI(SysPath, GMPath & ":", CommonPath & ":", GMUser, GMPassword) |
I can see the EXE sitting in task manager waiting for the return. It takes 5 minutes and then it returns -4.
Anyone have any ideas where I should point him? |

well, a -4 return means bad password. Is he using the currently-logged-in GoldMine user at each workstation and the same password for all?
It's weird that it takes 5-minutes though...

Here is a list of all of the LoadBDE/LoadAPI return codes:
| Code: |
1 -- success
-1 -- BDE/API failed to load - this means a problem with BDE 6.7 - or your SQL engine in 7.0
-2 -- Cannot find license file - 6.7 or lower - can't find license.dbf, 7.0 can't find license.bin - the files should be in the GoldMine install directory.
-3 -- Cannot load license file - this could happen because of user rights on the machine, also caused on 6.7 or lower when certain data objects are instanced before BDE. In 7.0 - it's most probably rights.
-4 -- Failed to validate password
-5 -- Invalid GoldDir - couldn't resolve the Alias for the GoldDir parameter.
-6 -- Invalid CommonDir- couldn't resolve the Alias for the CommonDir parameter.
-7 -- Failed to allocate the needed TLS slot - TLS stands for Thread Local Storage so that unique data is stored for each thread, and certain variables are shared between all GMx32 threads.
-8 -- General failure - this is a catch all error in 6.7. In 7.0 these have been expanded to -11 through -19
-9 -- No access to files for this user - you've either passed an invalid user for the dataset, or no user at all.
Added in 6.7:
-10 -- No SQL credentials - you should set the SQL credentials for this user in the user's GM preferences dialog.
Added in 7.00.51208 are more detailed errors that would have just been -8 and they mirror the first 9 returns, except for -8. These are all VERY BAD ERRORS:
-11 -- FATAL Exception captured on DB Engine Initialization
-12 -- FATAL Exception captured on user/alias cleanup
-13 -- FATAL Exception captured when loading license file
-14 -- FATAL Exception captured when validating user credentials
-15 -- FATAL Exception captured when validating Gold Alias
-16 -- FATAL Exception captured when validating Common Alias
-17 -- FATAL Exception captured on extract_TLS()
-18 -- FATAL Exception captured on attempt to read user SQL credentials - this is either an intermittant data read problem (network not available) or it has no access to license.bin.
-19 -- FATAL Exception captured when checking file access
7.0 in general adds:
-20 -- Invalid data dictionary - cannot read/find datadict.xml or datadict67.xml. The file can't be found, or the file has been corrupted. Reinstall a good copy.
