Remote connection server - pass through to legacy proxy and fail

Deadline
1

Hi,

Edit:
Solution:

  • Use the ‘Web Services’ connection
  • Take better notes the next time you do this!

I’m trying to set up a basic deadline instance, using the remote connection server as the only interface to the repository. The server is a Windows 10 VM. Calls to the RCS made through the Python API are failing.

The ‘deadlinercs-’ log files don’t show any commands come through.
The 'deadlineproxyserver-’ log files show the commands that I would have expected the rcs to handle along with errors like
"The endpoint ‘http://127.0.0.1:49668/api/repository?Version=’ cannot be found.

The Python script making the calls ends up with the error
“TypeError(‘string indices must be integers, not str’,)”
which generally means that a string is being treated as a struct somewhere in the stack.

How do we ensure that the RCS picks up the API calls that it should?

Thanks in advance for your help.
HP
