RPC_X_INVALID_ES_ACTION

Encoding Services received an action that conflicts with its handle

RPC_X_INVALID_ES_ACTION belongs to RPC Serialization Services. A serialization handle is initialized for a particular encoding or decoding style and buffer mechanism. Calling an encode operation on a decode context, using an unsupported handle action, or reusing a handle after an incompatible transition violates that state machine.

Log how the handle was created or reset, its operation mode, buffer style, and the generated encode/decode routine invoked. Keep one owner for the handle and serialize access. If a buffer is used for both directions, explicitly reinitialize the serialization context rather than changing application flags around an existing handle.

What to inspect

  • Match encode routines only with encoding handles and decode routines with decoding handles.
  • Track handle creation, reset, and free operations in order.
  • Do not share one serialization context concurrently between threads.
