Very slow start of IGSSMaster, Dashboard and Maintenance.
I have one of the flowing questions
WHY:
- Does it take my IGSS Master about 1½-2 minutes to start up?
- Does it take my Dashboard about 1½-2 minutes to start up?
- Does it take my Maintenance about 1½-2 minutes to start up?
- Does it take my RMScmd about 1½-2 minutes to start up?
- Does it take my Notifier about 1½-2 minutes to start up?
- Does it take my Audit trail about 1½-2 minutes to start up?
Only my IGSSmaster is slow to start up
If it only is the IGSS Master that uses a long time to start up, one of the reasons could be that the Audit trail is configured to utilize an MS-SQL database which is inaccessible.
You can access the Audit trail set up from the System Configuration form found in IGSS Master > Design and Setup tab > System Configuration button.
On the Files tab of the System Configuration form, you can set up the Audit trail in the Audit trail data group.
All modules are slow to start up
All the modules have dot net components. IGSS dot net modules are signed by VeriSign and if the machine has not been online (internet) while running IGSS, the dot net components have not been verified and are trying to get verification.
Fix 1 – Connect the machine to the internet once
Connect the machine to the Internet and start IGSS, the VeriSign certificates will automatically be downloaded to the machine and IGSS will from now on start up at normal speed.
Fix2 – Create startup configuration files for the three modules.
Step One:
Create* three text files in your GSS folder. The GSS folder is found in the installation folder where IGSS was installed on the machine. The default installation folder is Program Files > 7T > IGSS32 > V9.0
Step Two:
Name the files
- Maintenance.exe.config
- IGSSMaster.exe.config
- Dashboard.exe.config
- RMScmd.exe.config
- Notifier.exe.config
- Audittrail.exe.config
Step Tree :
Open the files in MS-Notepad (or another text editor) and add this text to each file:
| <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <configuration> <runtime> <generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false" /> </runtime> </configuration> |
Step Four:
Save and Exit the files and re-start IGSS. The three modules will start up in normal speed.
*When you create files make sure they do not have a .txt extension. The correct extension is .config
**Sometimes it can be difficult to create a file with a certain extension, if the extension is not displayed in the Windows Explorer. To display file extensions, do the following (English version of windows)
In the Windows Explorer toolbar, click > Tools > Folder options > View tab. Click the Show hidden files and folders radio button to display all hidden files and folders, including the .config files you have created.
