The first thing you can try is to set some environment variables in your
WAA startup batch file:

SET WAA_WORKERTHREADS=5
SET WAA_HOST=localhost
SET WAA_PORT=1024
SET WAA_TRACE=ON
SET WAA_INTERNAL_LOG=ON
SET WAA_DEVMODE=OFF
waa1srv.exe



WAA_TRACE allows the detail of logs to be configured.
WAA_INTERNAL_LOG causes more detailed information to be sent to the log
when internal error handling takes place.

Well it did not help me tracing the program errors
The stats showing on WAA are

    Total Transactions = 101
    Commited    = 93
    Abort = 8
    Package errors = 8

I could not able to find out how these errors are being generated. They are
not going to browser. There is nothing in Xpperror.log. Can you help me
tracing these errors. I have tested the application. It works fine.

Thanks

This shows that you had 8 package errors, so something is not working fine.
Can you show your log?

Mustafeez,

> Here is log file.

You need to update your startup batch file to enable the environment
variables I described to you earlier.  These will increase the number and
type of log entries, and are there to enable you to debug your issues.

Hello Mustafeez Rehman,

You may also check the log file which generated by the Web-Server (i.e.: 
Apache or IIS ...etc)

Phil,
what is the purpose of WAA_DEVMODE?
What is the difference between running in developer mode and not running in 
developer mode?
Could you enlighten me, please? I did not find anything in the docs for that 
switch.

Cheers and TIA,
Martin

BTW, am I on your spam-list? I sent you two PM within the last 6 months and 
did not get any reply - both were about the new version of WAA.
I used to get replies from you earlier on, though.

I've look and can't findit - but I know it's in there somewhere 'cos I've
seen it 

If there is an environment variable like this:

WAA_DEVMODE=ON

Then when loading package dll's, WAA will rename them to add a tilde to the
front of the name:

MyPackage.dll -> ~MyPackage.dll

You can now update your dll by simply copying it to where the server
expects it to be.  When a request is made for a function in that dll, WAA
checks to see if there is a new version of the dll available, and if there
is it unloads the ~MyPackage.dll and deletes it, renames MyPackage.dll to
~MyPackage.dll, loads it and executes your form-func.

It is definitely not a good idea to use this mode in a production
environment because of the overhead involved in checking for a new dll each
time a form-func is called.

Phil Ide

Hi Phil,
thanks a lot for the info - a very clever way of doing it!

Did you read my BTW?

I did recieve your messages and replied to them.  It seems though that your
ISP is being a bit strict - I notice this a lot with German ISP's.  My
workstation spoofs mail.idep.org.uk, so it sends mail direct to your
mailbox without going through any gateway mailservers.  However some ISP's
have instigated a host-checking, where my IP address is compared against
the MX record for idep.org.uk, and apparently rejects on the ground that
there is a mismatch.

To resolve this, I can either:

  a) Change the MX record to point at my workstation
  b) use mail.xodc.org.uk as my mailserver, as this is
     both local and has an associated MX record

I'll try and get this sorted asap.

Regards,

Phil Ide

Phil,
thanks for the info. I sent you a PM including several other mail-aliases 
from different ISPs.
