Frequently Asked Questions - Running Developer (xdev)

Running the BuildProfessional 'xdev' Developer FAQ

The Developer Client has timed out waiting for a request to be processed. The maximum time for the a request on a remote server is 60 seconds. To run larger requests, use the internal service (which has no timeouts).

The Developer Service is running on a different user profile than a foreground user. By default it is run as "system" and should be changed under Control Panel / Services / Properties. Make sure the user running the Web-API Service has access to the database.

This error could be due to application or version definition corruption on the Repository (sfiles). Please e-mail the file created in the temp directory to support@todaysystems.com for help in determining the corruption.

Background: View the bad reply file in an XML editor. One of the application or version definitions will be corrupt. This will either be detected by the XML editor or by viewing the property values. The CenturyBase is a good place to look (it should be 1982).

The application or version definition will need to be deleted. Use commands similar to the following:

archive -czsv4 -fsave.tdy -aappn

archive -dv4 -aappn

(go to administ and re-create the version or application)

archive -xsv4 -fsave.tdy
