Re: Web broadcasting 10.5
Hi Fatima,
I guess that the service "BoardMailerService" is of start type "Automatic" but it isn't active and you can't start it manually?
For Board 11.0 I have set two entries ("WatchPath" and "LogFolder") in the file "Board.Mailer.Service.exe.config" located in "C:\Programme (x86)\Board\Webapi". I think it is the same with Board 10.5:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5.2"/>
</startup>
<appSettings>
<add key="WatchPath" value="d:\tmp\Board\bc"/>
<add key="LogFolder" value="d:\tmp\Board\bc"/>
</appSettings>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" culture="neutral"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-10.0.0.0" newVersion="10.0.0.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>
Please set it to a valid path and the Mailer Service will start (after restarting the other Board services).
Starting with Board 11.1 this configuration has been moved to "C:\Programme (x86)\Board\Webap\App_Data\config\mailer.config".
<appSettings>
<add key="webUrl" value=""/>
<add key="watchPath" value="d:\tmp\Board\bc"/>
<add key="logFolder" value="d:\tmp\Board\bc"/>
</appSettings>
I hope I could help you,
Thomas
Re: Accessing Web Client - 10.5
Hi Stephen,
we use "Board Engine" and "Board WebApi Engine" on the same computer and access it using HTTPS.
After upgrading to 10.5 we got the same notification. By the way, each browser refresh changes the ID.
Our solution: We checked the configuration and have changed the following in file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Board\Board WebApi Server\App_Data\config\appSettings.config":
<appSettings>
<add key="host" value="https://fqdn.domain.de:443/" />
<add key="boardEngine" value="localhost" />
...
<add key="useSSL" value="true" />
...
</appSettings>
Now it works for us. I hope it helps you too.
Best regards,
Thomas
Re: Creating a dataview (help) ?
Hi, Shoaib
Another option is to create an entity(called report metrics, for example) having the elements "total # of employees","# of employees that have a target","# of employees that achieve 100% or more" and create a cube by manager, report metrics and month/quarter. You can populate this cube using dataflow and it turns to be a simple board dataview.
Re: Can I change the background on the Board web login screen?
Hello Neil Chapman and Alexander Kappes also some of my clients had the same question. Will we get a solution in one of the next releases?

Re: Show inactive members
the function is not available because the number of elements in the product entity exceed the Entities-Cut-Off defined in your database (see info in your screenshot -> "Displaying first 300 members").

Kind regards,

Re: REST API
Hello Daniele, and thank you for your answer!
I'm afraid I don't know how to write the whole URL (parameters and hashed key). However, I also have the same problem with the Postman API which doesn't require authentication.
Are you using the same version as me (v10.3.0)?
Are you able to get data from the Postman API? (https://postman-echo.com/get)
Thank you for your time!
Paul
