VVEngine does not retain Profile "pathname" on WS

[CaptPat]

I made the unfortunate decision to upgrade a machine from WS2003EE to WS2008EE RC1 - just to make life more difficult;).

I am running VVEngine 1.1 SN5 and I created a simple profile in VVPro 2 - and saved it in a file called Everything.fsf...

I then added the Profile to VVEngine, using the browse feature under "add profile" and the full path of the profile was correctly shown, however once I clicked the "SAVE" button at the bottom of the screen and returned to the main vvengine view, the full path was no longer shown. When enabled, vvengine reported it could not find the profile.

The XML file generated incorrectly shows just the filename of the profile, not the full pathname - this is not a problem on WS2003EE! It seems to be a new issue with latest WS2008EE RC1 OS... I've searched the forums but not found this reported yet.

Thank you for the report, which browser are you using? Is Javascript enabled? Are you pointing the browser to 127.0.0.1:8001 ? thanks!

Hi

I am having the same issue on a Windows 2003 Standard R2 server. I have VVEngine running as a service and when I configure the profile on VVEngine it comes back and tells me it cannot find the profile after when I enable the job.

Here is an except of the log.
07/02/2008 13:08:47 [136770.672-PID:6436-08136] Loading profiles from XML file C:\Documents and Settings\repl\Application Data\VVEngine\VVEngine.xml

Here is the VVEngine.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<SETTINGS>
<HTTP>
<PORT>9090</PORT>
<CLIENTS>*</CLIENTS>
</HTTP>
<ITEM>
<PROFILE>Uploads_Replication.fsf</PROFILE>
<DESCRIPTION>Uploads Replications</DESCRIPTION>
<CATEGORY>External</CATEGORY>
<ASSOONASCHANGED/>
<MONITORSOURCE/>
<MONITORTARGET/>
<ASAVAILABLE/>
<DISABLEDATSTARTUP/>
</ITEM>
</SETTINGS>

The Profile should be pointing to “W:\ViceVersaProfiles\Uploads_Replication.fsf”

I am using IE 7 and scripts are enabled, though it keeps asking to allow the scripts to run.

Thanks,

Jerry

I got it working by fixing an access error on a log file folder and modify the VVEngine.xml file after VVEngine service was stop. Once I did these two things I got it to keep the profile location.

The question is why didn’t record it correctly

Thanks,

Jerry

The issue is that some browsers (including the latest FireFox 3.0) do not keep the file path when selecting a file, so VVEngine does not know the file path , but only the profile name.
We have now fixed this and will be publishing a new VVEngine build in the next couple of days. thanks
