Hello,

Following the link Soft-launch options - DataMiner Dojo to enable an 'AppEditor' in DataMiner 10.2 CU0 MR, we

  1. Went to C:\Skyline DataMiner
  2. Since there was no SoftLaunchOptions.xml file we created one.
  3. Restarted the server.

This is the snippet of the file :


After doing this, we don't see the App editor. Can you please tell me where we are making a mistake ? Or where we need to check ?

Thank you in advance 🙂

Hi Arunkrishna,

Can you check if the user permissions are active on your DataMiner user?

General/DataMiner web apps.

Modules/User-definable apps

Regards,

Hi Klaas, thank you. After enabling those permissions, I can see
‘ + Create a new app’.

Is this the expected result ?

Yes, you should see a + like in the answer from Miguel

Hi Arun,

After enabling the 'Application' feature, you should see the following icon in the landing page:

In DMA version 10.2.4, the '+' icon is displayed next to 'Other apps':

As mentioned in the introduction of the soft-launch article, many of the soft-launch options also require an IIS restart when they are activated. Could you try this and see if it solves the problem?

Hi Marieke, I restarted the server. Wouldn’t a server restart also restart IIS ? Nevertheless, I restarted IIS too. How do I check if the application framework module is enabled ? Where in cube should I check ?
Marieke Goethals [SLC] [DevOps Catalyst] commented

The application framework is not available within DataMiner Cube, but on the DataMiner landing page. To access this page, browse to the IP or hostname of a DMA or to “https://[Your DMA]/root”, depending on your configuration. Note that extensive documentation will be published about this very soon (there’s a pull request waiting on GitHub in case you want a sneak peek: https://github.com/SkylineCommunications/dataminer-docs/pull/163/files).

I see only Dashboards and Monitoring on the landing page. Should I see something else too ?

To clarify, restarting the DMA does not restart IIS. Doing an upgrade does restart IIS though.

Hi; I also have problems to get this working.

I followed all the steps above; restart the entire windows server; but I never see the “+” or “Other Apps +” option.

Note; We have “recently” jumped from 9.6 to 10.2 and also never used the softlaunch before.
