Unable to submit large attachments through v9 ECL / older ECL Legacy interface works well [ Edited ]

[Thilo]

Hi,

This wrong behavior is repeatable with the SDK .Net sample application "SampleV9Client".

Write a procedure with a small start formular with only one attachment clip. Start this small process with the "SampleV9Client" using a picture with a size of around 8MBytes and the following error message will displayed:

Fehler beim Empfangen der HTTP-Antwort für http://localhost/ECL.WS/Service.svc. Die Ursache kann sein, dass die Dienstendpunktbindung kein HTTP-Protokoll verwendet. Eine andere mögliche Ursache ist, dass der HTTP-Anforderungskontext vom Server abgebrochen wird (vermutlich auf das Herunterfahren des Diensts zurückzuführen). Weitere Informationen finden Sie in den Serverprotokollen

InnerException:

Von der Übertragungsverbindung können keine Daten gelesen werden: Eine vorhandene Verbindung wurde vom Remotehost geschlossen Server

If you try to start the same process with SDK .net sample application "LegacySampleClient" with the same picture - everything works fine! But this ECL.Legacy interface does not support all the new v9 features.

Can anyone give me a working ECL-WCF configuration (client and server site) which is able to handle large attachments? Or a working .net sample application with the new v9 ECL interface.

Hi Thilo,

If smaller images are working, then the problem may lie in the conservative default values in your calling application's binding configuration (under service model). In your calling application you should have a service model defined somewhere like this:

<

system.serviceModel>

<

bindings>

<

basicHttpBinding>

<

bindingname="BasicHttpBinding_Service"closeTimeout="00:01:00"openTimeout="00:01:00"receiveTimeout="00:10:00"sendTimeout="00:01:00"allowCookies="false"bypassProxyOnLocal="false"hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"maxBufferSize="65536"maxBufferPoolSize="524288"maxReceivedMessageSize="65536"messageEncoding="Text"textEncoding="utf-8"transferMode="Buffered"useDefaultWebProxy="true">

<

readerQuotasmaxDepth="32"maxStringContentLength="8192"maxArrayLength="16384"maxBytesPerRead="4096"maxNameTableCharCount="16384"/>

<

securitymode="TransportCredentialOnly">

<

transportclientCredentialType="Windows"proxyCredentialType="None"realm=""/>

<

messageclientCredentialType="UserName"algorithmSuite="Default"/>

</

security>

</

binding>

</

basicHttpBinding>

</

bindings>

<

client>

<

endpointaddress="http://localhost/ECL.WS/Service.svc"binding="basicHttpBinding"bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_Service"contract="svcReferenceMetastormWS.Service"name="BasicHttpBinding_Service"/>

</

client>

</

system.serviceModel>

Things like MaxReceivedMessageSize and MaxStringContentLength should be increased to accomodate big data gets. The corresponding values should also be increased in the ECL.WS web.config.

If problems persist, please send an email to HelpDesk.

Hey Thilo,

Edit your ecl.ws web.config:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Metastorm\BPM\ECL.WS\Web.config

and add the following within system.web: <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="2097151" />

<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="2097151" />

...

</system.web>

After I add that I'm able to upload large files.  I was testing with 32mb .pdf's and an 8mb .jpg. I attached my web.config

Cheers,

Dan
