Run BPS designer on the server by two different users
0

Hi everyone,

In version 2021 of BPS Designer does not allow to run designer on the server on two different users (on two different connections to server).
I get a resource usage error (in picture). Do you have an idea how to deal with it?

Alternatively:
I tried to start BPS Designer locally but I get a message saying no connection with the license. I need to open some port in server or something?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Damian,

I can't tell you anything about the error but this documentation will help you:
https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/using-2019-version-of-webcon-bps-designer-studio-on-a-local-machine/115

The firewall must allow a connection to port 8002.

Another option would be to install the Designer Studio version via the avatar menu in BPS Portal. With this all communication will happen via REST without a direct access to the service. In my case, I don't use this option very often.

Best regards,
Daniel

I haven't checked the local designer for this error, I know it used to work in older versions.

But if you are using 2021 try using the remote designer. It doesn't require opening other ports anymore, excepting the one for the portal (http or https). As long as in the connection url in the designer you are using the url from bindings it will magicaly work using the new APIs. Before you would have needed sql and licence port to be opened, but not anymore. This change was a great one in 2021.

Also you can try opening the local desgner using another binding than the localhost one (if you are using that one). Make a binding on the IP and call that one from inside the server. It used to work for us (But it still needs the http or https ports to be open).

Let us know how it went or if you still get that error :P
