Hi Ritech,

For the deployment issue, please set the FTP server's firewall support to PASSIVE MODE.

The following two firewall rules are necessary for passive FTP to function properly:
The firewall must allow connections on port 21.
The firewall must allow connections to the ephemeral ports used by the FTP application.
Please refer to the articles below.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/publish/using-the-ftp-service/configuring-ftp-firewall-settings-in-iis-7
https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/NAT_and_Port_Forwarding/Active_and_Passive_FTP_Overview_and_Configuration

 

For the issue installing the app on the local desktop from Azure VM, please provide the detailed error and screenshots to us for more study, thanks.


Regards,
ZhaoKai

Hi,

Thank you for your response.

I have created Azure VM and also Installed PowerClient on it, but I am not able to deploy app on Azure VM through powerclient future.
It is deployed successfully on local server.
I transferred myapp named folder from local server to Azure VM using filezilla.
When I tried to upload through filezilla some files were not uploaded in first attempt but in second they were uploaded successfully.

App is successfully installed on Azure VM also and is running also , but I am not able to install it on local desktop from Azure VM whereas from local server I am able to install it and it is working properly.

Is there any setting in Azure for this kind of requirement or Am I missing something?

Please help me with this!

Please find the attachment of error message as Error and Error2 is the error that came while transferring files using filezilla.

 

Regards, 

Ritesh Desai

Hi Ritesh;

This could be an Azure network / proxy issue that requires some tweaking.

Note that in the GA release of PowerClient, the PB IDE's PowerClient project will have an MSI option (currently missing in R3 beta). So you could use that MSI to populate the IIS based PC server in Azure.

I'll add to what Chris just said: OFFLINE INSTALLERS ROCK!

The main reason to have an offline installer is that you have the installer available at any time. It can be copied to location X and installed on platform Y, and you don't care if the Appeon website is up, or if the traffic is horrendous.

Think you screwed something up and want to reinstall? No problem, no wait time, no hassle.  :)

you need to configure the azure firewall to allow ftp access (if you are doing ftp), and of course RDP so you can access the server.

 

other than that, its a vm of windows server, so the setup is the same.

Hi Ritesh;

FWIW: I would use the PowerBuilder Installer to download the "off-line" install packages. Then FTP them up to the Azure host. Then you can run the respective PowerClient Set-Up using the appropriate install Setup.exe. Just my $0.02. HTH
