What do I do if I cannot add the target application server to the Portable Data Scheduler?

Check Client Server Settings

Verify the following on the client server:

  • IRC Portable Data Scheduler service is stopped on the client server: If the service is stopped, restart the IRC Portable Data Scheduler service on the client server as follows:
  1. Click Run on the Start Menu. The Run pop-up window is displayed.
  2. Enter services.msc in the field provided and click OK . The Services window is displayed.
  3. Right click IRC PDS Service and click Start to restart the IRC Portable Data Scheduler service
  • Check whether the server name specified is correct and whether the server is up. Specify the correct server name and wait till the server is up.

Check Target Server Settings

If Internet Information Services (IIS) on the target server does not support .svc files, you will not be able to add the target server to the IRC Portable Data Scheduler.

Check whether IIS on the target server supports .svc files as follows:

  1. Open Server Manager (From task bar or start menu). The Dashboard tab is displayed, by default.
  2. Click Add Roles and features.
  3. Click Start the add role and feature wizard & click  Next.

  4. On the Installation Type page ensure that the option Role based or feature based installation is selected.

  5. Click Next.
  6. Select and highlight desire server name and click Next.
  7. Click Next on Server roles page.
  8. Expand .Netframework 4.5 features.
  9. Under WCF Services, select the check box HTTP-Activation.
  10. Click Install.

Certification Manager

If the Get URL is not working for the Certification Manager, then ensure that you have the following entry under the <Applications> tag at the location [InstallPath] > PDSService > Config > ApplicationConfiguration.xml . Else add it manually.

<Applicationname="CertificationManager" displayname="CertificationManager"assemblyName="PDSServicePlugin"className="Approva.CertificationManager.Platform.PDSComponents.PDSServicePlugin.PDSServiceTasks"assemblypath="\Platform\bin"\></Application>
