VixJob_Wait or Vix_GetProperties gives 0 for handle

[snedic]

Hi,

Is anyone else experiencing troubles on Windows with VIX version 1.12.2-1031769 after VixHost_Connect when trying to get VIX_PROPERTY_JOB_RESULT_HANDLE?

I mean both:

Vix_GetProperties(jobHandle,

  VIX_PROPERTY_JOB_RESULT_HANDLE,

  &hostHandle,

  VIX_PROPERTY_NONE);

and

VixJob_Wait(jobHandle,

VIX_PROPERTY_JOB_RESULT_HANDLE,

&hostHandle,

VIX_PROPERTY_NONE);

are always returning 0 for hostHandle.

It works fine with earier VIX APIs (1.11.x) and it works fine on Linux (even with 1.12.2)

Thanks and BR

What error is being returned?  The hostHandle will only be zero in an error case.

And what product/version are you connecting to?

Hi lemke,

Well VixError that Vix_GetProperties or VixJob_Wait are returning is VIX_OK. This is what bothers me. Handle is zero and returns are signalling that everything was OK.

What is extremely strange is that the same code works well on 1.11 APIs. I am experiencing this only with 1.12.2...

I tried to connect to vCenter 4.1.0 and 5.1.0 (no UXs)...

I can provide you with more information or connect to other products aswell...

Thank you,

iks

Hi,

In 1.12.2 I am getting "failed to load library", see vmware-vixWrapper-xxx.log:

vthread-3| I120: Log for VixWrapper pid=4408 version=1 build=build-894247 option=Release

...

Error 182 is

ERROR_INVALID_ORDINAL

182 (0xB6)

The operating system cannot run %1.

Does vmrun work?

Does your app link any of the libs VIX uses, with a different version?

I've usually seen INVALID_ORDINAL when trying to use a library that's missing some symbols because its too old.

Hi,

I made a clean project and it works perfectly... Even tried vmrun and it woks. There must be some dll exported functions mismatch between different dll versions because I am seeing this invalid ordinal 182... And yes, app loads a lot of stuff that vix might be using, so I will investigate in this direction...

Thanks.
