Download BC symbols from remote server

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Bartek W 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

I have the same question (0)

    Hi

    Did you try using server IP?

    Like

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

              "serverInstance": "BC160",

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