WebGIS Q&A

Question

Sometimes I'm presented with an error message saying something along the lines of:

[COMException (0x800a0bcd): Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A0BCD]
   ... long stacktrace continues...

And no human readable description to help me in my diagnosis. What does the HRESULT code mean?

Answer

Sometimes the thrown error does not contain a human readable descriptions, and sometimes the description is lost in translation (e.g. when .NET transforms a HRESULT status code into a proper Exception object). Below is a table with most common of the possible HRESULT values with their symbolic representation:

HRESULT	Symbol	Description
0x8004001F	GF_HE_OUT_OF_MEMORY	An out of memory condition while using the GeoMedia engine ensued. You might want to revise your Map Server memory usage thresholds for more aggressive Map Server recycles.
0x80040133	GDO_HE_InvalidObject	This happens most of the time when the library connection is broken, or the data therein are corrupted. Specifically, the library part of the WebMap Publisher metadata might exhibit such behavior and a republishing is needed for the specific service source.
0x80040638	GM_HE_INVALID_GRECORDSET	A connection failure occurred when trying to access the features inside a recordset. Sometimes this also happens when you publish a legend to the WebMap Publisher metadata which contains features incompatible with the service source type or its usage.
0x800403A9 0x80040B76 0x80040B76 0x80040BD3 0x80040BD9 0x80040BEB 0x80040D2A 0x80040F97	GMST_HE_FILEACCESSDENIED GMSS_HE_FILEACCESSDENIED GMST_HE_FILEACCESSDENIED GF_HE_PermissionDenied GF_HE_AccessDenied GF_HE_FileAccessDenied GF_HE_DDLPermissionDenied ADO_HE_MFCACCESSDENIED	These are all some kind of permission problem encountered.
0x8004045D	GWM_HE_IMAGETYPE	An invalid image type has been passed to the WebMap API
0x80040BCD	GF_HE_NoCurrentRecord	The recordset is not set to a valid row. This mostly happens when the recordset is empty, and the logic tried to examined its contents without establishing whether it contains anything. In WebMap this happens for example when you try to access an empty Service Source to which no data has been published yet.
0x80040E3A	GWM_HE_NO_AUTOSCALE	No autoscale object has been set prior to calling the CreateMapByRange of WebMap API
0x80040FBD	GWM_HE_NO_CACHE	The cache folder has not been set or is invalid. Rerun the GeoMedia WebMap Configuration Wizard and configure it on the appropriate page, or use the Geospatial Server Administration Console to set it in the GeoMedia WebMap/Settings option.
0xA07B0001	GWM_E_MAPSVRMNGR_TIMEOUT	The request for a free Map Server expired in the Map Server Manager.
0xA07B0002	GWM_E_MAPSVRMNGR_NOTREADY	The request for a free Map Server arrived at the Map Server Manager when it was still not ready to process it.
0xA07B0003	GWM_E_MAPSVRMNGR_REJECTED	The request for a free Map Server was rejected by the Map Server Manager. Possibly due to the request queue being full.

The full list is attached as an excel file.

Armed with the list and a detailed log file of WebMap and/or its services makes it easier to pinpoint the exact problem.

Is it possilbe to get all GeoMedia exceptions (their HRESULT, symbol and description)?

Do you mean the zip file attached to the article with the full list is insufficient for you? The link should be visible to you at the very end of the article.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick answer. The zipped file is visible for me and I am able to see all exceptions from this file. I am working on functional attribute validation and try to solve position of the error.

Hi, I got this on Geomedia WebMap 2020, in a server farm (2 nodes). When I tried to show getcapabilities after instance setup. All workflow in Geomedia Desktop and AdminConsole. HRESULT: 0x800A0005, What this mean?
