Shared memory object: Read lock instance can't be set, no active version?

[Former Member]

Hi there,

I'm trying to use shared objects to enable my WD4A application that is launched from the portal. It works in development as there is only 1 application server. But when this is moved to the next box, which Portal is in 'external access, ie. users can access Portal from internet, not within the intranet', it gives me the following error, when I try to ATTACH_FOR_READ.

The read lock on the instance 'AB14D249FFA74340E10000000DDF2424' in the client '' 
of the area 'ZL_AREA_1O' cannot be set, since there is no active version. However, the area 
constructor was started for the automatic structuring of the area instance.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Also - my test system (which is failing for me) has a few application servers - do shared objects in shared memory work in instances where a few application servers exist?
