Hi,

I think this is in for a while now but never solved:



When I want to add a user in the user permissions and it's an AD user, I click on the little icon which allows me to search for a AD user.

Now when I search with the wildcat * I see a lot of results in which I can scroll with the vertical scrollbar.

Clicking twice on the scrollbar will close the window and select the current selected user. Clicking twice on the scrollbar should not behave like clicking twice on a entry.

Regards,
Erik

Tried the Xendapp for the iPhone, but looks to me that the app is also still in beta.
Program chrashes a lot. I'll contact their support today with my experience.
I was'nt able to send a message with VC, but this can also be a firewall issue.

VC calls the XendApp service using https (port 443) when sending. Current issue XendApp are having right now is they have a login issue where login only accepts username (and not email as in the login form). According to them it will be fixed later tomorrow.

Hi, thanks for the info.

I think our firewall here prevents me to use this service. I tried several proxy settings but did not get through. When pressing on the refresh button to get the provider it takes some time to show me 'The operation has timed out' message.

Some other Xendapp issues I encounter:
  1. In the connection settings of the Xendapp I have setup the timeout to 20, but it looks to ignore this setting.
  2. In the connection window the port column shows 21 for this connection, this is not correct.
  3. There are test buttons to check the connection for FTP, would like to have one here aso for this service. Now I have to make a job and I have to recreate a task everytime while I can't save the Xendapp task due to not be able to select a provider. Take me a lot of time to test the connection :-(
  4. Would be nice also to see the address column filled too to setup a firewall. (Same for SQL connections)
  5. Xendapp Support is fast. They responded within the hour to questions I had regarding the iPhone app.
  6. The Xendapp iPhone app needs a username to login, not an email address. This will be fixed in the next version.

Erik

Erik,

we will look at XendApp issues. Currently you cannot specify a proxy - I think that is what you need?

In the setup of the Xendapp connection you can setup the proxy. Are you not using this setting in your code when making a connection to the webservice of Xendapp?

This solution is for applications that write the file several times. One example is notepad which generates two write events. I am not sure if that is your problem - probably not as it works for you when you restart service.

However, this will probably prevent multiple triggering in your case. Still we are interested in having the log files from you if you experience anything strange.

Erik, re-download and take a look at Connection settings. We are now using proxy values and have included a test button.

Hi Henrik,

I downloaded the last version and saw the changes made.
Like the test button.
Thanks also for changing the port number in the connection port column.

Could you tell me how the timeout setting is working?
Looks like I have to wait app 100sec to see my connetcoin fail.
In the settings of the Xendapp I have it setup to 20 seconds, so I don't understand this bit.

If I use the sysinternals tool TCPview I can see a connection made by VC when I press the connection test button. This is howeven not the proxy I setup at the connection of Xendapp.
There is also a server proxy setting, but also this is not the server listed.

So two questions here. The time out issue and where do you get the proxy settings for using the Xendapp connection?

Erik

Timeout setting is never used. Currently we use default timeout for web service client (maybe 60-100s).

Proxy settings are fetched from Proxy settings in the Connection.

When using the new report task, I received an 'error handler' with the following 'error details':

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

This is the list of events I used to get it.

1. Select "Job report" task from "Internal".
2. Select "Job report' tab.
3. Select "Cancel" button.
4. Select "Cancel" button.
....'Error handler' screen pops up.

Didn't know if I should post this here or in the Support area.

EDIT: This is using the Final Build of 6.1.4, btw.

I noticed that when I have the 'Grid Filter' option enabled and have filtered the list by typing part of a name of a list of jobs I have, if I try and click the 'Clear Filter' up top, in the ribbon area, It does nothing. I have to click the 'Clear Filter' on the yellow filter dropdown area on the far right hand side.

I assume these buttons should work the same. I see no effect by using the one up above. (see Screenshot)
