Metastorm 9 and the Visual Studio Debugger

  If you  hit the debug button, it  does a deploy and then tries   to access http://localhost/ProcessDiagnosticsService/ProcessDiagnostics.svc   and fails.  Visual Studio opens up  briefly and closes

 

  Under options  - Deploy  - there is a place  to  give the url  for the Process Diagnostics Service  but and the default is the above.

 

Visual Studio   has a debug Server and you can  start a windows service but I don’t think they are the same thing.

 

Question:   What is the Process Diagnostics Service?  Where can I find it so  I can configure  the Designer to use it?

 

The documentation  is not very clear.

 

Thanks!

Hi

 

I'm not sure, but I think it could be AppSight Black Box Service from redist directory. Let me know if you found the proper one :smileywink:

Re: Metastorm 9 and the Visual Studio Debugger

You need to go into Add/Remove programs and do a Modify for Metastorm BPM SR1.  Once into the components screen, under Engine category, you need to select to install the Diagnostic Services component.

 

Once installed, you might need to modify the web.config for the Diagnostic Service to make sure the database connection is valid.

Kudos to Ari there...

 

Yes the SR1 update does install the new features for previously installed components (i.e. the Debug feature in the Designer) but it does not install new whole new components (i.e the v9 MetaProcessData Service)...

Ari -

 

  Thanks!  We installed the Process Diagnostics Service  on  the server

    The database connection appears to be corrrect in the web.config file

 

  But now  in the designer  on my local pc  I get

 

The remote server returned an unexpected response: (405) Method Not Allowed.       

 

What does  this mean?

 

Thanks!

Re: Metastorm 9 and the Visual Studio Debugger

Peter,

 

It sounds like you are trying to use debugging on a remote engine?  Process Debugging is currently only supported in an all-in-one environment (Designer, Deployment Service, Engine, Web Client).  We hope to be able to include support for remote environments within a future release, but for the time being to use this feature you'll need a single machine.

My issue was that the initial install did not create the virtual directory correctly.  After deleting the virtual directory and recreating it, it worked fine.
