Hi,

Upgraded today to 1.1.10. Everything seems to work fine.  

Some things I've noticed that may be done for next version:

• Windows service description is missing for the 3 NetXMS services. Trivial but would look better.
• Copyright in Alarm Notifier may be update to 2012
• Reports is still not working for me: Execute works, however when I try to render the result to PDF I receive the following error:
      'Rendering report' has encountered a problem. Cannot render report xxx job y: Input/Output error

Regards,

Dan

Hi,
Good work with this new release!
The new web interface was exciting news! But it didn't work for me, is it something I have missed?

I downloaded the war-file, and gave it to jetty. Jetty deployed it without any errors, but when I try to access it from the browser it get an error like this (see also attached screenshot):
Problem accessing /nxmc-1.1.10/. Reason:

    ProxyServlet: /nxmc-1.1.10/

The application is there, if I use another non-valid url jetty gives another message. Suggestions..?

Regards,
Kjell

Hi!

Try to use the following URL: /nxmc-1.1.10/nxmc?startup=org.netxms.webui.core.nxmc

Best regards,
Victor

Yes, now it works!
Looks great, thank you for efforts. Think a new web UI will be very appreciated.

Best regards.

Hi,

You made me curious, how do I make the new web interface work? Platform is Windows 2008, at the moment web interface is provided by NetXMS service.

Regards,
Dan

Hi!

Installer for 1.1.10 does not contain new web interface yet. You have to install application server by yourself (Tomcat or Jetty should work) and deploy war file available from download page. Next release will have Jetty bundled into installer.

Best regards,
Victor

@dang said in NetXMS 1.1.10 released:

      'Rendering report' has encountered a problem. Cannot render report xxx job y: Input/Output error

I've fixed couple more issues with reporting, it will be included in 1.1.11.
In a meantime, please check couple of things:

1. netxmsd started with full path to netxmsd.conf (e.g. "netxmsd -c c:\netxms\etc\netxmsd.conf", not something like "netxmsd -c ..\etc\netxmsd.conf")
2. "JavaPath" parameter in netmxsd.conf should point to java executable (e.g. "JavaPath=C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_17.x86\bin\java.exe")
3. "JDBCDriver" should be set to appropriate driver (e.g. "JDBCDriver=org.postgresql.Driver"). Currently supported: org.postgresql.Driver, com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver, com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver, com.mysql.jdbc.Driver and oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver.
4. "JDBCUrl" is set to proper jdbc connection string (e.g. "JDBCUrl=jdbc:postgresql://localhost/netxms")
5. "report-generator.jar" is in directory specified by "JavaLibraryDirectory" parameter. Default location (for windows build) is "c:\netxms\lib\java\"

Hi Alex,

here are my findings:

1. netxmsd started with full path to netxmsd.conf (e.g. "netxmsd -c c:\netxms\etc\netxmsd.conf", not something like "netxmsd -c ..\etc\netxmsd.conf")
   C:\Program Files\NetXMS\bin\netxmsd.exe" --config "C:\Program Files\NetXMS\etc\netxmsd.conf" -d
   => OK

2. "JavaPath" parameter in netmxsd.conf should point to java executable (e.g. "JavaPath=C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_17.x86\bin\java.exe")
   was:
   JavaPath=/usr/jre/bin/java
   now:
   JavaPath = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe"

3. "JDBCDriver" should be set to appropriate driver (e.g. "JDBCDriver=org.postgresql.Driver"). Currently supported: org.postgresql.Driver, com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver, com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver, com.mysql.jdbc.Driver and oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver.
   JDBCDriver= com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
   => OK

4. "JDBCUrl" is set to proper jdbc connection string (e.g. "JDBCUrl=jdbc:postgresql://localhost/netxms")
   JDBCUrl=jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433/netxms_db
   => I think this is not right, I'm using odbc to connect with the database, 1433 port is used for a mssql tcp/ip connection. Telnet test confirms this as connection to this port fails...

5. "report-generator.jar" is in directory specified by "JavaLibraryDirectory" parameter. Default location (for windows build) is "c:\netxms\lib\java\"
   JavaLibraryDirectory = "C:\Program Files\NetXMS\lib\java"
   => the only file in this directory is the "report-generator.jar". Should there be anything else in there?

Dan
