Download BC symbols from remote server

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 20

Hello,

i have an on prem instance of BC16, I am able to download symbols correctly form machine in the same intranet as BC server, server in launch.json is specified like: http://serverNetworkName.com, everything works fine.

For this instance there is a web client exposed externally under https://clientUrl/BC160. IIS is installed on the same machine as bc service.

How can I download symbols for project on my local machine? I cannot use clientUrl/BC160, i get a connection error: connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, in other words - timeout.

Of course I cannot use http://serverNetworkName.com as my local machine does not see internal server name.

Thank you for any suggetions.

Regards

    Add port number to server and check if it is open on your remote server

    Hi

    Did you try using server IP?

    Like

             "server": "">https://19x.xxx.x.x",

              "serverInstance": "BC160",

    [/quote]

    In launch.json      

    add the following lines:    

               "server": "">https://clientUrl",

               "serverInstance": "BC160",
