Unable to create a Windows event object. Last error %d

Description

The operating system reported an error when the application tried to create a new Windows event object for use by the communication manager.

Cause

This is usually a Windows resource issue when not enough handles are available to allow the number of Windows events objects to be allocated that are needed to handle the communication workload from the Attach Manager clients. This is normally caused by running too many processes on a single system when the processes involved all have a heavy handle usage. It can be caused by a programming error in the Attach Manager failing to correctly free handles that are no longer needed.

Action

Check the Windows resource usage to ensure that the use of handles in the Attach Manager process is not excessive. If it is, contact SOFTPRO for technical assistance. Reduce the workload of the system where the Attach Manager is running. Increase the memory available to the system where the Attach Manager is running.
