Troubleshooting application definition
Error / problem | Reason | Solution |
---|---|---|
Missing firmware | The required software is not installed on the device | Install the software on the device. For further information, see Creating an IDF in the ELIAS guide and Firmware update. |
Doubled names | Two applications have the same name. This causes conflicts because applications are identified by their names. | Use unique names. |
Hidden application cannot be executed | Applications are invisible for the user when they run in hidden mode. This option is available for applications of the custom type. | Enable the option Start automatically or Application restart to start hidden applications on start or to run them non-stop, respectively. |
Problems with certificates in combination with VMware server | Server problem occurred: After successful installation, the VMware server uses a self-signed certificate. If a device is configured correctly, it will not accept. The reason is that the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) is mandatory for server certificates. |
Create a server certificate in the Windows-CA with FQDN. If you use mmc: Create a server certificate using the Snap-In Certificates (Local computer). The key must be exportable. The display name of the server must be vdm. The name must be unique in the certificate store Local computer / Personal. |
COM port redirection in RDP session does not work | Communication errors such as high latencies in the network between your serial device and the virtual desktop do not allow serial communication. | Use the permissive mode for the RDP application. This parameter causes communication errors to be downgraded to warnings, and communication becomes more tolerant of timeouts. Define a free parameter in your RDP application definition with the permissive option. Example: For further information, see Defining free application parameters. |
