Unable to delete entry

avatar

Hi,

When I delete an entry (RDP in this case) and I confirm the deletion, nothing happens. The entry remains.

Regards,

Jasper

Just an update on this.

The entry could be deleted when I closed all active RDP sessions including the ones opened manually with the MSTSC command.

What type of data source do you use and what RDM version?

David Hervieux

avatar

The data source we use is SQL and I use the latest version of RDM.

avatar

Could you verify the application logs in Help-View Application Logs?

David Hervieux

Sure. This is what is listed there:

[20-11-2013 9:09:58]ERROR System.NullReferenceException: De objectverwijzing is niet op een exemplaar van een object ingesteld.
bij Devolutions.RemoteDesktopManager.Managers.RemoteDesktopManagerProxy.DoRun()
bij Devolutions.RemoteDesktopManager.Managers.ThreadManager.Invoke(MethodInvoker invoker)

Let me translate this for you:

[20-11-2013 9:09:58]ERROR System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
By Devolutions.RemoteDesktopManager.Managers.RemoteDesktopManagerProxy.DoRun()
By Devolutions.RemoteDesktopManager.Managers.ThreadManager.Invoke(MethodInvoker invoker)

I found out that after closing and starting the program, the entry is back again.

What RDM version do you use

David Hervieux

We are using 9.0.7.0 64bit. The entry seems to be deleted now. I was also able to delete another entry without any problems.

avatar

If this happen again, could you try RDM 32 bit?

David Hervieux

avatar

Not trying to Hijack the thread but I have a very similar issue happening to me. I am on 9.0.8.0 using SQL Azure as the data source. In my case I am unable to delete an empty group / folder from the list. Nothing is written to the application log and the entry remains even after exiting and launching RDM again.

If it helps, top level groups / folders get deleted just fine, it appears to be groups that are nested and in my case it's a 2nd level group that I'm having the issue with.

avatar

If you empty the folder, are you able to delete it?

David Hervieux

No, it's currently empty and won't delete.

avatar

Let's try to renaming it to see if the change is saved

David Hervieux

Renaming does appear to work, and actually after renaming it I was able to delete it. I exited out of RDM and opened it back up and it didn't reappear so that seems to have done the trick. Hope that helps track down the issue, thanks for your help!

avatar

Let me know if this happen again and I will add some debugging information.

David Hervieux

avatar

I still have a entry reapearing (even after a few days), so let me rename that one also before deleting. I'll let you know what the results are.

avatar

Great thank you.

David Hervieux

avatar

Renaming before deleting definitely works.

avatar

Renaming before deleting works but when it will be fixed in the application?

avatar

Could you try RDM 9.5 Beta to see if you can delete it directly? If it doesn't work I will add a debug information trace.

Is it possible to use version 9.5 Beta with a 9.2.10.0 database?

avatar

Yes it is. It's possible that you get an upgrade database warning but it's only few indexes to optimize it. There is no database structure modification.

David Hervieux

avatar

then I will try it. Thanks

avatar

FYI - I cannot use the database without upgrade ;-(

avatar

I will add an Advanced setting in File->Options to enable the execute without the latest database. This will be to bybass the upgrade when it's not a major upgrade like this one.

David Hervieux

avatar

Is Ok, I will wait for the next update

could be the problem that you guys have no sessions in folder you want to delete but credential-entries inside?
in that case you delete the folder but it re-appears because it has existing credential-entries inside.

plz check second tree "Credentials".

in options->tree view is an option to merge views

Kind Regards
