Re: OAS Error : Dr Watson and WRKS.EXE

We have this happen regularly on our development server. Wrks is the process that runs your 'application' on OAS. So anything that sends the app for a loop (bad code, bad data, etc.) crashes wrks. Fortunately, wrks is restarted on demand by the next request, so no big deal really. We just make a habit of cleaning off the Dr. Watson errors from the console every so often. Once code matures and stabilizes, those errors start to fade.
