DvISE Service Layer crashes by the FileScan Services

Problem After sending a Message with the FileScan Services, the Service Layer crashes. The problem is not solved by setting up the FileScan Services again in the DvISE Administrator or the DvISE Service Layer on a Novell NetWare Server.

In order to eliminate the effect, create a new DAVID.FIL to exclude problems from this side. The DAVID.FIL contains the Api- and FileScan Services.
    Stop the DvISE Service Layer and re-name the DAVID.FIL to e.g. DAVID_FIL.OLD in the directory »DAVID\CODE«. Note, that the FileScan-entries will all be deleted then!
  • Restart the Service Layer afterwards. You can create a new FileScan service in the Service Layer below »Configuration -> Services -> FileScan Services«. Enter the following path:

    \\Servername\David\Apps\Faxware\Out\Api\*.

    It is very important to enter exactly that path including the final "*." without any extension. Save your entry now.

  • Change to another menu in the Service Layer then and return afterwards to the »FileScan Services«. Your recent entry will not be visible. It has been created below »Services -> API«.
  • Enter a second path:

    \\Servername\David\Import\*.fax

    Spare any other settings as well and save the entry.You can now add any other necessary or wanted FileScan entries.

  • Restart the DvISE Service Layer in the end.
If this does not solve the problem, you can replace the FaxWare User-. He might not have enough rights to convert all the fax jobs correctly.
  • First of all, make a backup of your data.
  • Stop the DvISE services with »DVSTOP« on the Netware console.
  • Next, you delete the FaxWare User- in the NDS on the server.
  • Then you have to perform a DSREPAIR (Full) until it does not return any errors.
  • Restart the DvISE services now with »DVNDS« on the Netware console.
  • A request for a username and a password will open. It also contains the item "USE RIGHTS OF THIS USER" which is usually set on "NO".
  • Enter the username of the administrator (including the context) as well as the password.
  • Now set the item "USE RIGHTS OF THIS USER" on "YES".
