TIBCAlerter error after upgrading to 5.6.20

[davort]

Hi,
I've upgraded to 5.6.20 from 5.6.19 and my app started crashing. I am using Delphi XE.

I use TIBCAlerter to catch Firebird database events and to perform some tasks on a MySQL database that need to be performed upon certain changes in Firebird database.

I just installed the new versions of IBDAC and MyDAC, recompiled the app and it crashes. Delphi IDE debugger pointed to an error within tgdsalerterthread class, that wanted to read the address 0x 00 00 00 44.

After I uninstalled the 5.6.20 and went back to 5.6.19, everything works as supposed.

Were there any changes within the IBCAlerter class in this last version, that I should address in my code (e.g. changed/switched properties etc), or is it possible that this is just a bug?

Since many of my programs rely on the functionality of the TIBCAlerter, I was forced to switch back to 5.6.19.

Thank You very much on Your fast response!

Best regards,
Davor

We have already fixed the bug with AV on calling the TIBCAlerter.Start method. The new IBDAC build 5.6.21 including the fix is already available for download at our website(secure.devart.com).

Hi, me again.

And I am pretty much pissed off.

The TIBCAlerter now doesn't throw an error. But it also does not respond to any events, sent from the Firebird server.

Version 5.6.19 worked fine, Version 5.6.20 crashes with an error, and Version 5.6.21 doesn't respond to the events.

Could you *please* correct this, since most part of the functionality I have to support, depends on this component?

I do not have the sources, otherwise I would probably provide the fix myself.

Thank You on Your *prompt* response and thank You for taking this matter seriously!


Best regards,
