SDK Reload Web Interface Sample Script (195914)

SDK Reload Web Interface Sample Script

The SDK includes a sample script used to reload the Web Interface. This script builds a URL based on the server and web interface and uses an HTTP GET to force the Web Interface to reload. The URL the script builds is: http:////Customization/ReloadMetadata.aspx?ReloadFromWorkingCopy=1

While this does work against older versions, Active Roles 7.0 and 7.1 returns a 404 Not Found error. Is this script still applicable to v7.0 and 7.1? If not is there an updated method that can be used to script a reload of the Web Interface on v7.0 and 7.1?

This is a documentation issue, the SDK is missing some additional information that needs to be included to the web.config file. A product defect (TF00695468) has been raised.

WORKAROUND

Please perform following steps:

1)  Open web.config

        a.  You will find this in C:\Program Files\Dell\Active Roles\7.0\Web\Public or where Web Interface is installed

2)  Go to <system.webServer> section

3)  With in that go to <handlers> section

4)  Add the following statement in <handlers> section

<add name="ReloadMetadata.aspx_*" verb="*" path="ReloadMetadata.aspx" type="ActiveRoles.Web.Application.Customization.MetadataReloader" preCondition="integratedMode"/>

STATUS:

This will be fixed on a future release of the product.
