Unable to Create a User Defined Function in Replicate

[Machholz]

Hello all, 

I have followed the documentation, read the README in the /addons folder, and compiled the sample UDF 'My Transformation' successfully. But the Qlik service is unable to load, and I am thinking it is because there is an error either in the addons_def.json file or something within the .dll. I am unable to figure it out and would appreciate any help.

Here is my addons_def.json:

I have already tried using an absolute path as well, but that did not work. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Hello @john_wang,

I also received that same error in "repcmd.log" but wasn't sure what that was. I used a cli compiler instead of Visual Studio directly, so I will try your instructions and see if the problem continues. 

Thanks.

Hi John,

I wanted to check in to see if there have been any updates on this issue. I'm encountering the same error:

00016704: 2024-11-03T20:49:16 [ADDONS ]W: Failed to load add-on path <C:\Program Files\Attunity\Replicate\addons\MyTransformation\MyTransformation.dll>, error: <%1 is not a valid Win32 application. > (at_addons_manager.c:251)

I’ve tried compiling the DLL as a 64-bit application using Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt, but I’m still running into the same problem. Do you have any solutions or suggestions?

The compile code I used was this:

cl /LD /O2 /MACHINE:x64 MyTransformation.c /Fe:MyTransformation.dll /I "C:\Program Files\Attunity\Replicate\addons\include"

addons_def.json

{
	"addons":	
	[
		{
			"name":	"MyPasswordProvider",
			"type": "STARTUP",
			//"lib_path": "samples\\MyPasswordProvider\\MyPasswordProvider.dll",
			//"lib_path": "samples/MyPasswordProvider/MyPasswordProvider.so",
			"init_function":	"ar_addon_init"	
		},
		{
			"name": "MyTransformation",
			"type": "STARTUP",
			"lib_path": "MyTransformation\\MyTransformation.dll",
			//"lib_path": "samples/MyTransformation/MyTransformation.so",
			"init_function": "ar_addon_init"
		}
	]
}

Thanks for your help!
