Hallo, ich hoffe, ich darf auf deutsch schreiben.

Seit mehr als acht Stunden versuche ich nun EWA zum laufen zu bringen.

Zuletzt habe ich es neu installiert, es waren neue DLL's dabei...
Habe aber meine alte DB reinkopiert, bei denen ich schon die neuen API Daten eingebaut habe.

Lange Rede kurzer Sinn....
Meine aktuellen Transaktionen werden nicht angezeigt, unter anderem vermutlich.
Wie es aus sieht, wurden aber alle Daten empfangen, denn es sind jede Menge Dateien in dem "Cached XML Files" Bereich zu sehen, die alle aktuell und voller Daten sind.

Ich weis nicht weiter.
Ich möchte möglichst meine alte Datenbank behalten. Ich kann auch alle alten Daten abrufen, wie gewohnt.

Geändert habe ich nur die API-Codes, da ich bis zu letzt die alte API-Codes verwendet habe.

I hope you don't mind that I reply in English. As I understand it, foreign language postings aren't allowed within the international forums, you would need to post that in the localized German forum section. If you've got trouble understanding my answer, send me an EVE mail or create a thread over at eveger.de and link it here.

That said - copying the database might not be enough. You need to update the database too, as it has also changed over time. If you haven't already done so, do ? -> Check for updates. If your database isn't too old, it should upgrade your existing data and preserve the old contents. It's a good sign that you see new XMLs to be fetched. My bet is that although EWA can fetch the data with the API key you provided, it then fails to insert the data into the DB, because it assumes a certain table structure which your old DB doesn't provide yet. Have a look at Extras -> Application log and see if it shows any database errors (ADO something ...)

If that (=upgrading the DB) fails, I can offer you to have a look at your DB, provided you trust me enough to send me your DB file, of course.

API key's are ok and working fine.

A new install with a brand new DB work fine too.

the old DB may be to old like you say and so I hope I can use both DB's in same time. will it work ?

The last proper use of EWA was April 2014

Nope, that doesn't work.

Have you tried updating the DB as I suggested? Menu "?" -> "Check for updates"

The new database update (version 73, sde-20160912-TRANQUILITY-legacy) has been published.

I've also released a new version of EWAAutoData (1.0.37). It fixes the issue that in Windows 10, EWAAutoData didn't appear in the taskbar and was also missing from the ALT-TAB list.

Folks,

I've prepared a guide on how to create (and distribute) your own database update for EWA. OP has been updated accordingly.

I'd appreciate any comments/suggestions.

ESI API aka "The End Is Near"

Fellow EWA users,

in case you missed the recent memodev blog, CCP just announced a new API for EVE: EIS.

I'll spare you the technical details, which you can find in the above linked dev blogs, if you're interested. Here's the important
part concerning EWA (I've boldened the important bits):
Quote:

Once we replicate all current CREST and XML API functionality in ESI, we will be shutting down both services. We are targeting 18 months from the release of this blog[/b] to achieve functional equivalence and work with application developers to upgrade their applications. Removing the need to use the XML API will be our first priority. We will be monitoring use of the XML API and CREST to both identify and assist third party developers in their migration efforts.

This is going to be an orderly and measured winding down of operations. As the first step of that, developers should know that as of the release of this blog, CREST and the XML API are officially in maintenance only mode. We will continue to deploy security updates and critical bug fixes to them, but any new feature requests will be implemented in the ESI API.


This means that EWA would have be to rewritten, basically from scratch. I'm not going to do that. Considering the new technology used for ESI, Swagger, and that EWA is written in VB6 (which obviously still works, but is heavily outdated) and that both technologies don't fit well together (there's Swagger support at all for VBClassic), I herewith declare the end of EWA.

I'll keep publishing database updates as long as the XML API works, but once that's switched off by CCP - it's game over. As mentioned in the quote above, that'll leaves you with ~18 month to hunt down and settle with an alternative marketing companion.


A personal note: when I started EWA back in 2007 and made it available to the public in 2008, I never thought that it would last this long. I've I'm not totally mistaken, EWA is the oldest, still supported 3rd party trading application. Even when I took a ~1 year off (Monoclegate), I kept publishing database updates. It therefore is sad to see this "baby of mine" die, but times are changing and I fully understand CCP moving on/forward. It was good while it lasted.

Fly safe!
Hel

Oh well, that went faster than expected. With the Legacy SDE also being discontinued as of now, that's it.
