SmartConnector processor of an EWS Server fails to run

[mike_meirovitz]

Hi,

We have a customer who is using our EWS Server extension. The EWS server address is http://localhost:5300/EcoStruxure/DataExchange

When the setup processor starts, we see this error in the log file:

2022-11-22 13:14:46.5842,Status,Service,<no principal>,Starting REST Provider http://127.0.0.1:8083,
2022-11-22 13:14:46.6163,Debug,Service,<no principal>,RestConfiguration SmartConnector REST Provider is not valid.,MayNotContinue : EWS Server referenced by Ews Server Id was not found.,

2022-11-22 13:14:46.7315,Info,Processor,<no principal>,Validation Prompt for EBO-OPC Client Setup Processor: MayNotContinue : Failed to initialize. ,

When we try using the IP in the EWS address instead of "localhost" (for example: http:/192.168.1.117:5300/EcoStruxure/DataExchange) we get a different error:

2022-11-22 12:57:51.0444,Debug,Service,<no principal>,RestConfiguration SmartConnector REST Provider is not valid.,MayNotContinue : EWS Server referenced by Ews Server Id was not found.,
2022-11-22 12:57:51.0444,Debug,Service,<no principal>,Redirecting assembly load of Ews.Common, Version=2.4.10.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=223885051a9a1eff, loaded by (unknown),
2022-11-22 12:57:51.0444,Status,Service,<no principal>,Starting PortalAddress,

Any idea what may be the reason for the error?

Thanks.

Hi Mike,

Ews Server Id – The ID of the SmartConnector EWS Server which will be the data source. This value
is displayed on the EWS Server Detail page.

Can you please check if you have the correct value for Ews Server Id?

Hi Nilou,

Thank you for your answer. This is the EWS address defined in the SmartConnector Processor.

http://localhost:5300/EcoStruxure/DataExchange

I also tried the IP address instead of "localhost". Same results.

See the screen capture below.

Thank you.

Hi Mike,

The information which you sent to me is  the 'the Processor Configuration
Detail Page' but I need ' the Endpoint Configuration Detail Page'.

Configuration >> endpoint >> Click to Edit button on action toolbar to navigate  to the Endpoint Configuration Detail Page >> Details Tab >>  Http Configuration

Thank you

Hi Nilou,

Thank you for your answer .

Is the endpoint mandatory for the EWS Server Setup processor to work properly?

Should it use the Ews.RestExtensions.SoapEwsRestProvider class?

Thanks.

Hi Mike, 

Thank you for your explenation.

It could be an initialize problem, If you don't have any endpoind.

Have you received this error in the log file when you tried to started processor?

Can you please attach the log output from %programdata%\Smartconnector\Logs? we'll see what's going on.

take a look at the smartconnector success kit by searching it on this forum.  it talks about rest api endpoint configuration- may help you identify an issue.
