Deadline Mobile and 5.2

Deadline
1

Hey All,

Having a strange issue. Cannot seem to get web services to work period.

Have configured in repos settings. Pulse is active and seen by slaves and by the repository.

f.cl.ly/items/0e0j1L203g0c0T0K0l … 0%20PM.png

But, try to ping via hostname or ip in a browser…

(have double and triple checked dns, can do a nslookup, can ping, but no love via the web.)

This is in service of getting the Deadline Mobile app to work. (have done previously prior to upgrade to 5.2)

Tried the ios app on local network using both ip and fqdns…no love… this led to trying the web browser.

Have stopped and started Pulse several times with web services on and off, in hopes of a stuck command.

Any thoughts? This seems like it should be rather straight forward.

Thanks

Are you able to connect with the browser from the machine that Pulse is running on? Just wondering if maybe it’s a firewall issue.

Also, can you try enabling Pulse Verbose Logging in the Application Logging section of the Repository Options, then restart Pulse? Pulse should print out whether or not the web service is available. You could post the log and we’ll take a look.

Thanks!

I too spent some time figuring out how to setup deadline for the mobile app.
There were two steps that were not really obvious at first and kept the mobile app from connecting to the web service:

  1. configuring name space reservations
  2. by default my firewall blocked port 8080, so I could only connect through a web browser on the machine that pulse was actually running on.

Maybe this helps. Let me know if you have questions.

Cheers
