I have a v8 application that runs 24/7. It uses a form timer to run a process that sends and retrieves EDI files to FTP sites. This process runs every 30 minutes. It works like a charm... except about once a week the application crashes because the network drive has become unavailable due to system resources. I.E. If I go to MY COMPUTER and double click on the network drive (G:), I get an error message stating "drive unavailable. insufficient system resources". Only this PC is effected and it is not a network issue. If I exit out of the Rbase application, the drive immediately becomes available on the PC. (nothing else runs on this PC. It is dedicated to this 24/7 application) I have moved this application to a second PC and it demonstrates the same behavior, so it is not hardware related. The application uses several file commands performing external file functions and using wild card characters. I am wondering if this may be the issue? Such as : ERASE g :\ rbti \ edi_v8 \ ftpfiles \*. 850 g :\ rbti \ edi_v8 \ ftpfiles \*. 850 or DIR 'G:\RBTI\Edi_V8\ftpfiles\AWM*' (Output of the above goes into a file to obtain filenames in directory) or Zip C :\ Windows \ System32 \ cmd . exe / c MOVE MOVE & vedifile & v856file :\ Windows \ System32 \ cmd . exe / c MOVE MOVE & vedifile & v856file (variables vedifile and v856file contain wild cards) or SET VAR vlaunchprog = 'G:\RBTI\Edi_V8\winscp.exe' VAR vlaunchprog = 'G:\RBTI\Edi_V8\winscp.exe' SET VAR vlaunchparams = '/timeout=15 /script=uploadAWM.txt|W' SET VAR vlaunch = (. vlaunchprog & '|' & . vlaunchparams ) LAUNCH . vlaunch SET VAR vlaunchparams = '/timeout=15 /script=uploadAWM.txt|W' SET VAR vlaunch = (. vlaunchprog & '|' & . vlaunchparams ) LAUNCH . vlaunch The applicaion also uses the " rsearchandreplace.rbl" plugin extensively on external files. Something in the code is eating up memory and not releasing it, but I have been unable to pin point the culprit. I am leaning towards one of the above. Any thoughts on memory and wild cards, zip, launch or plugins? (WhileOpt is turned off) Thanks, -Bob
