Getting error in the EX5250INQ-example (launch a valence pgm from green screen)

[ThierryC]

i'm trying the ex5250inq example in order to test the functionality for launchig a valence app, directly from a green screen.

however when i try the example :

- i launch ex5250inq from a cmd-line in green screen
- the browser is opening, in the customer lookup app;
- i get error: "no session id was passed to the server : error log ID : 9

Interesting, it works fine on our end...

Let's narrow some things down:
What release of Valence 5.0 are you running? (on the Portal, click the upper left menu selector to open the drawer, then click the user symbol in the upper left, then click "About" in the lower left)
What browser / version is it launching?
Do you see any pertinent information in the Errors app?

EX5250INQ calls VVRMTCALL. It would be interesting to confirm what happens if you run EX5250INQ in debug and step into the openValenceApp procedure (which goes to VVRMTCALL). In the main() procedure, does it succeed in generating a SID at line 112.00, on the call to VVLOGIN?

Hi Robert,

i'm on version 5.0.20170313.0
launching from google Chrome

When debugging this program i do get an SID

(although it seems that the source line you mentioned (112) is different from what i have on my system. (140)
in the vvrmtcall

could it be that the crossreference between sid and timestamp is not correct and thus causing this issue?
so i'm still getting the error: "No session ID (sid) was passed to the server"
although the portal opens, the example app is opened, and the customer app is opened

136         // good-to-go... attempt to create a session                  
137         sid='*CUSTOM';      // this tells VVLOGIN to generate a session
138         lngid=*blanks;      // blank language id here means defer to po
139         rmtCallId=%subst(%char(%dec(%timestamp())):9:10); // unique tem
140         vvLogin(sid:usrid:envid:lngid:rmtCallId);                      
141         if sid='*ERROR'; // something went wrong...                    
142           remote.errMsg='Valence session not created; see Valence error
143           return;                                                      
144         endif;                                                        
145

the values is get in the vvlogin are the following
sid: 22696C24DDADE0F5217121F144E8701740862883B3BDCAFB61 8B1CC8EB63
84DC'
usrid: 1001
envid: 0
lngid: ' '
rmtCallId: '0945108010'


i can also see that the session variables are correctlye written to the vvsessvars PF

this is the ur that is transfered in vvRmtCall1(url) (ps. is changed the name from my system to xxxxx)

This turned out to be a front-end problem, which has been fixed in the latest Valence 5.0 build (5.0.20170415.0).
