upload error reports from application

[sreindl]

Hi,

is it possible to upload error reports which have been saved to disk before?

The following scenario: We are selling a client/server software. The server is usually running on a machine in the internal network without direct internet access and without UI.
The idea is to provide a error reporting module which is saving the reports to disk and to provide a service which allows the user to download the data and to upload the reports from the client machine...
It is basically working by using your web services (i.e. Report.asmx) but the reports are not encrypted (i.e. they are XML files). Those files cannot be processed by the smartassembly executable (download fails).

Regards
Stephen

Can you please clarify the error reporting system you are attempting.

How can the user download the data from the server is there is no internet connection?

The SmartAssembly Error reporting system uses *.sareport files. These files are encrypted.

Custom error reporting requires the Professional edition. Descriptions and examples can be found in these articles

This can be done by writing a custom error handling using the Smartassembly SDK:

The report can be saved to file using this OnReportException method. (see the “More information about the SDK samples” section of this page http://www.red-gate.com/supportcenter/Content?c=SmartAssembly%5chelp%5c6.2%5cSA_SDK.htm&p=SmartAssembly)

The file can be transferred. (e.g. USB stick to online machine then emailed)

The error report files can then be imported from the command line using the “addreport” command ( http://www.red-gate.com/supportcenter/Content?p=SmartAssembly&c=SmartAssembly/help/6.2/SA_UsingTheCommandLine.htm&toc=SmartAssembly/help/6.2/toc1479859.htm)
