Issue Description:
We have been experiencing several cases of the beas 64 bit add-on crashing when run in the SAP Business ONE 64 bit client and the user is not interacting with the screen for a few minutes.
Cause of the problem:
Is to be found in an unknown bug of the Powerbuilder version R0 with OLE objects on 64 bit (this are vastly used in with SAP 10).
Solution:
If you're running beas 64 bit Add-On with SAP 64 bit client on an SAP version lower than SAP 10, the best option is to uninstall the 64 bit client of SAP and remove beas 64 bit and run ONLY with the 32 bit client of SAP and the 32 bit beas add-on.
If you're running on SAP 10, which only supports the 64 bit client and therefore forces you to use the beas 64 bit Add-on, you will have to install the version linked below that contains an hotfix for the issue.
