FIX: Transaction Integration applications that use custom TRM or ELM headers may throw an "Unhandled Exception" error after the applications are migrated to Host Integration Server 2009

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a Transaction Integration (TI) application that is running on a Microsoft Host Integration Server 2006 server or an earlier version.
  • The TI application uses custom TRM or ELM headers as described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
    810956 FIX: A new feature in the COM Transaction Integrator gives the client program full control over a TRM request and lets the client program process the TRM reply
  • You use TRMIN, TRMOUT, ELMIN, or ELMOUT as the names for the user-defined type definitions for the custom TRM or ELM headers.

In this scenario, when the TI application is migrated to Host Integration Server 2009, you receive an exception that resembles the following when you run the TI application:
Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index and length must refer to a location within the string.
Parameter name: length

at System.String.InternalSubStringWithChecks(Int32 startIndex, Int32 length,Boolean fAlwaysCopy)
at Microsoft.HostIntegration.TI.ClientContext.OldContextToNew(Object[] contextArray)
at Microsoft.HostIntegration.TI.ClientContext..ctor(Object[] contextArray)

Cause

This problem occurs because the update that added the ability to use custom TRM or ELM headers intended for the names of the user-defined type definitions for the custom headers to be in a certain format. This is described in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
810956 FIX: A new feature in the COM Transaction Integrator gives the client program full control over a TRM request and lets the client program process the TRM reply
Information for the TRM request or the TRM reply, or both, is passed to the TI run time through an optional parameter that contains an array of data. Formatting for the TRM request and the TRM reply is defined in the user-defined type definitions in the TI type library. The name of the user-defined type must start with the characters TRMIN for the TRM request and with TRMOUT for the TRM reply. This prefix is case-sensitive. TRM requests and TRM replies may have multiple user-defined type definitions. For example, you may have the following user-defined type definitions:
  • TRMINExample1
  • TRMINExample2
  • TRMINExample3
  • TRMOUTSample

In order to support TI Client Context objects that you created in earlier versions of Transaction Integrator, Host Integration Server 2009 checks for various keywords that were used in the older Client Context objects. In this case, TI was checking whether the lengths of the names that are used for the custom TRM and ELM header user-defined definitions were greater than 5 bytes for the TRMIN or ELMIN headers and greater than 6 bytes for the TRMOUT or ELMOUT headers. This check was implemented because it was expected that the headers would include a suffix following the TRMIN, TRMOUT, ELMIN, and ELMOUT prefix. The exception occurred because the length check was failing.
