Lyle From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Opela, Gary L CTR USAF ABW 72 ABW/SCOOA Sent: Friday, August 27, 2010 12:55 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: ARAPI.NET ** Okay, I've done this before, however I've reimaged my computer. I've tried to set everything up, but I'm still getting an error. Here are the steps which I've taken to set up my new environment: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Create a folder: C:\ARAPI.NET 2) Unizip the ARAPI71.NET.zip to c:\ARAPI.NET; move files directly into ARAPI.NET 3) Created a new Environment Variable named LIB with the value of C:\ARAPI.NET 4) Added to the EV PATH the value C:\ARAPI.NET 5) Created a new EV named ARTCPPORT and set it to the value I have in my AR Server, not to 5920 6) Used RegAsm from Microsoft.net/framework/2.x to register BMC.ARSystem.dll 7) Rebooted computer 8) Opened new visual basic project in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 9) Added Reference to C:\ARAPI.NET\BMC.ARSystem.dll 10) Added Reference to C:\ARAPI.NET\BMC.arnettoc.dll 11) Added the following code: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Imports BMC.ARSystem Module Module1 Sub Main() Dim ARServer As New BMC.ARSystem.Server Try ARServer.Login(<Server>, <User>, <Password>) Console.WriteLine("Successfully logged in to remedy server") ARServer.Logout() Catch ex As Exception Console.WriteLine(ex) System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000) End Try End Sub End Module ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12) Ran in debug mode and received the following error: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The specified module could not be found. (Excep tion from HRESULT: 0x8007007E) at BMC.ARSystem.Server._Eval(Object v) at BMC.ARSystem.Server._performLogin(String methodName, String server, String user, String password, String authentication, String locale, String charSet, In t32 port, String apiCmdLog, String apiResLog, Boolean logInitAndTerm) at BMC.ARSystem.Server.Login(String server, String user, String password, Str ing authentication, String locale, String charSet, Int32 port) at BMC.ARSystem.Server.Login(String server, String user, String password, Str ing authentication, Int32 port) at BMC.ARSystem.Server.Login(String server, String user, String password, Str ing authentication) at BMC.ARSystem.Server.Login(String server, String user, String password) at ConsoleApplication1.Module1.Main() in C:\Users\Gary.Opela\AppData\Local\Te mporary Projects\ConsoleApplication1\Module1.vb:line 7 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Like I said, I've done this before and it worked. This is very simple and straightforward, just trying to open a connection. I've verified the user name and password and server are correct. The error is saying I'm missing a module, but everything that I can find is included and is in its place. I've tried this both on Vista and on Windows Server 2k3. I'm running AR System 7.1 Any help is greatly appreciated. _attend WWRUG10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ NOTICE: This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
