Version, Connections, and Permissions

This topic details a few useful things to check when troubleshooting an issue within Exago.

This topic references <WebApp>/, <WebSvc>/ and <Sched>/as a placeholder for the Web Application, Web Service API and Scheduler Service's install location respectively. The default install location is C:\Program Files\Exago\ExagoWeb\ (/opt/Exago/ on Linux), C:\Program Files\Exago\ExagoWebApi\ ( /opt/Exago/WebServiceApi/ on Linux) or C:\Program Files\Exago\ExagoScheduler\ (/opt/Exago/Scheduler/ on Linux); however, these directories can be changed during installation.

Verifying Folder Permissions

A common issue when installing or updating Exago is to not set read/write permissions on various folders the application uses. For these folders the user accessing them via the IIS app pool must have read write permissions. For the default app pool this is the IIS user. The folders that require read/write permissions are listed below.

• <WebApp>/Config – this folder contains the configuration settings loaded and modified by the Admin Console.
• <WebApp>/Temp – this folder is used to store some temporary files.
• The folder specified in the Report Path of the Main Settings.
• The folder specified in the Temp Path of the Main Settings.

Verifying Administration Settings

Some settings in the Admin Console are used to connect to other programs such as databases, Web Services, .NET Assemblies or the External Interface module. Each of these items will have a Test Connection  icon next to them. Click Test Connection to verify the connection.

The following settings can be checked:

• The Data Source(s) being utilized by the report you are investigating.
  

  

• General > Scheduler Settings > Schedule Remoting Host and Remote Execution Remoting Host
  

  

• General > Other Settings > External Interface
• Storage Management > Class Name
• Storage Management > Check Database Settings

Verifying Versions

When updating Exago occasionally issues arise because the Storage Management database schema,Scheduler Service or Web Service API have not also been updated. For the Scheduler Service and Web Service API to function properly they must be running the same version and build as the Web Application.

When using the .NET API you will need to copy the DLLs from the updated Exago application to the bin directory of the host application.
