We are using a registered version of RTF2PDF and are seeing an intermittent problem that is proving difficult to resolve.
RTF2PDF is used by .Net components in COM+ on an application server. .Net code, in a .Net web service, on a separate web server communicates with the COM+ components which in turn use RTF2PDF to create PDF documents using RTFs held in a database.
For the majority of the time, everyting works successfully, but we see an intermittent issue where COM+ will appear to stop responding to a call. In this case, the COM+ function completes, the document has been successfully created and the 'finally' block of the function successfully logs that it has completed, the call just never responds to the calling code (which throws an RPC error a number of minutes later).
Could unmanaged code in RTF2PDF be holding onto a resource that prevents COM+ from completing? Are there any sugestions as to the best way to determine what is happening? Any other suggestions/advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
