Smart Database Connector: Configuration Page Is Empty
Smart Database Connector: Configuration Page Is Empty
You encounter the following problem: The configuration page (http://localhost:33333) of the Smart Database Connector is empty. The service is running (check Task Manager) but the event log shows an error like Category: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel - System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File name: 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Diagnostics.Abstractions' when you perform a restart of the service.
The reason for this problem is that the temporary .NET Core execution folder has been corrupted. This comes from a bug in .NET Core from Microsoft (fix is planned in Nov-2020).
Solution:
Delete the shadow copy of the service so that it will be recreated automatically with all DLLs needed.
- Stop the Smart Data Base Connector Service in Task Manager.
- Locate the folder: C:\Windows\Temp\.net\Scan-IT to Office Tools - Smart Database Connector\
- There is a sub folder like xngvhz1s.an0 (name is individual) ⇒ Delete this folder!
- Start the Smart Database Connector Service again.
