Issue/Introduction

If a SD Job should logoff, shutdown or reboot a computer, a Toast Notification should be displayed to ask confirmation.

But on Agent with language set to German, French or Spanish, nothing is displayed and there is an application error in Windows Event Viewer :

Faulting application name: cfCafDialog.exe, version: 14.5.0.530, time stamp: 0x63d2928d
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.22000.1165, time stamp: 0x5f69600f
Exception code: 0xc0000374
Fault offset: 0x000ea609
Faulting process id: 0x116c

Environment

Client Automation 14.5 CU1, CU2, CU3, CU4 or CU5

Agent in German, French or Spanish

Cause

The files caf.es, caf.fr and caf.de contain localized text button for TOAST notification.

 

Example in German :

 

IDS_CD_TOASTDEFER="Verschieben"
IDS_CD_TOASTCANCEL="Abbrechen"
IDS_CD_TOASTRESTART="Neustart"
IDS_CD_TOASTREBOOT="Neu starten"
IDS_CD_TOASTLOGOFF="Abmelden"
IDS_CD_TOASTSHUTDOWN="Herunterfahren"
IDS_CD_TOASTHIBERNATE="Ruhezustand"
IDS_CD_TOASTSLEEP="Schlafmodus"
IDS_CD_TOASTTURNOFFDISPLAY="Abschalten"

 

 

This is causing a problem because texts are too long for Toast Notification Buttons. It seems button text are limited to 7 characters

 

Text in English are :

IDS_CD_TOASTDEFER="Defer"
IDS_CD_TOASTCANCEL="Cancel"
IDS_CD_TOASTRESTART="Restart"
IDS_CD_TOASTREBOOT="Reboot"
IDS_CD_TOASTLOGOFF="Logoff"
IDS_CD_TOASTSHUTDOWN="Shutdown"
IDS_CD_TOASTHIBERNATE="Hibernate"
IDS_CD_TOASTSLEEP="Sleep"
IDS_CD_TOASTTURNOFFDISPLAY="Turnoff"
