"Generate full Report" causing crash or error

Hi All,

Having some issues with charting, the generate (full) report button is causing flexsim to crash. On one of the occasions I actually recieved information after this :

exception: Exception caught in flexscript execution of VIEW:/active/ReportsAndStats422634984/tabs/Full Report/Generate Report>OnPress line 27 instruction 56. Discontinuing execution.

Any help would be much appreciated - I had issues with this function in a project a few years ago (here), was kindof hoping that it would have been rectified by now (but perhaps it has and I am missing something)...

Looks like a problem with the exportfullhistory command. You could try running exportfullhistory("myrundata.mdb"); and see if it creates the database. I'd also try changing directory permissions, and check that you have Full History switched on.

Thanks Jason. Yes full history on, tried the command this time, unfortuneately same result. I did manage to get chart to work ok on one set of results (after several crashes within Chart due to "integer overflow" or something) so I doubt permissions, maybe whatever version of jet engine that comes with access 2007 doesn't get on with FS (or my setup thereof)??

New computer in a few weeks, maybe that will resolve a few of these things, otherwise I guess back to the recorder again...

Hi Paul - a few questions:

Does it happen on a simple test model? If it's only one model that has the problem can you send that or reproduce it in another model?
Do you get the 'save-as' prompt for saving the database ? (when not using the command)
Does the mdb file get created?
What operating system and flexsim version are you using? I've checked it works in 5.04 under Win7Pro 64-bit.

We may need to get A.J. involved to solve this.

Cheers Jason

- No I believe it was actually working earlier (although as i mentioned had earlier problems due to "integer overflow" within the chart app itself), and even within the same model the same thing didn't always happen
- Yes the save as generally did come up, a database was created but didn't get "released" (that extra access locked for editing file hung around and didn't disappear)
- OS XP, using FS 5.04

To be honest I am getting by with recorder atm, and will be upgrading to a new computer in a few weeks, so unless others are experiencing the same problem don't really need this urgently resolved atm. Will update in future how it goes with new system...

Paul,

It sounds as if the function that generates the database is crashing. This can happen for a number of reasons, but one of the more common reasons is that there is an object in your model that has an invalid name. Make sure that object names all start with a letter and contain only letters, numbers or underscores. Special characters can be a problem.

If you've checked your model for invalid names and are still having this issue, you can email the model to Flexsim's support team and we will take a look at it to see exactly where in the database generation process it is breaking down, and how to fix it.

A.J.
