Errors on launch "Unable to satisfy request as diagnostics are in use"

or  "Waiting for updates to complete at another station"

Problem:

Receiving these errors: "Unable to satisfy request the diagnostics are in use" or "Waiting for updates to complete at another station"

when launching the software.

Solution:

Theses errors could be generated if the Product Executable (i.e. EYECARE.EXE or EYEMD.EXE) is blocked by a firewall application such as Norton Internet Security or McAfee Internet Security.  Please note:  this problem is not unique to the server, the local stations on the network could generate this error if the firewall is blocking the executable.

Here are some other possible causes:

bulletRestart the Advantage Database Server Service on the server
bulletCheck for missing HELP.DBF file as this file is what typically controls when this message comes up
bulletIn Compulink version 8.1 or newer, all clients with over 7 stations/users and all WAN clients using RDP, must have SQL Server software (Advantage DataBase Server) installed as a service  on the server and Compulink's software must be flagged to utilize this service.  NOTE: when using McAfee firewall, you must access the firewall settings and make sure the EXE is not blocked.  Disabling the McAfee firewall does not release the EXE. McAfee will continue to block access and must be configured to allow full access.
bulletIf you are using an RDP session as Administrator to launch the software, use the MTIER solution.
bulletClients with 5 to 6 users must use the ADSLOCAL.CFG file.
bulletThis error is generated when running diagnostics.
bulletCheck the ADS.INI for wrong paths such as LAN_IP=X.X.X.X or LAN_PORT=X.  The server name , server IP and the port must match the information from the server.
bulletCheck ADSLOCAL.CFG for number of connections and user license information
bulletClient is mapped using IP address and not the server name (NETBIOS NAME)

Also possible ...

Cause:

A user had open files in the Advantage software when Config.cbs file was updated or changed.

Solution:

bulletReboot the server and update the config.cbs
bulletClose all open files and sessions in computer management and update the config.cbs file. (NOTE: updating the Config.cbs file is not always necessary if the date of this file reflects the most current available.)
