I uninstalled Edge Agent. Then reinstalled it and this time I choose the pilot Kinetic exe. At the last minute I read that there is a 64 bit version, so I used kinetic64.exe. Upon launching I get the warning that the 32 bit version is preferred due to the way to utilizes memory.
However, the function maintenance now opens in classic, just as it should! I will go back and uninstall the edge agent and install it again and this time choose the 32 bit version of my pilot kinetic app.
It also works for our classic custom dashboards!
Thanks guys! I couldnāt have figured it out without your help!
It works, as in the classic dashboard opens. But it does not pull over the part number from the open with menu. It just runs my BAQ wide open. I think there is something else going on here. I may have to rebuild the dash in app studio as @Banderson said. If I am rebuilding it, then it will be in the new kinetic format anyway. So the old classic dashboard wonāt be used (in this one case).
I am trying to convert the old dashboard to the new kinetic app studio. I have the dash converted just fine, but I donāt see how to load the dash, pre-filtered on the part number that I right-clicked open with on. A brief forum search didnāt turn up a guide. Has anyone tackled this yet?
Youāll need to create an event that fires on form loadā¦ or perhaps an after event if there already is one. Add a row update in that event and add a column where
Ep Binding: Part.PartNum (or TransView.PartNumā¦ or whatever youāre using)
Expression: leave blank
Value (JSON): "%session.context.initialValueIn.ValueIn%"
This might work, but it seems like the right click open with is reverting back to the original classic form. Is there some option somewhere that enables a dashboard (or application studio app) to be used from the right-click open-with menu? I have to figure out how to replace the existing old form with the new app.
Ah, thatās familiar. Our Menu Maintenance is bugged in the web client. If we make any change to any menu, it deletes the URL value. When the URL value is null, we get this error. Nothing actually goes looking for Edge Agent, the error message is a bug.
Try this on one of your menu items - copy out the URL value so you can put it back later, delete it in menu maintenance, then try to open the application. If you get the same error but didnāt before, youāve found your problem.
If your web client menu maintenance is also buggy about the URL, updating from REST is how we get around.
to save this kinetic app as a menu item. I created the app in application studio.
When I try to save this, I keep getting the error that āprogram can only be updated on user defined menu itemsā. This is a brand new UD menu item, so IDK what the problem is.
Maybe try a stock app that you know works? For support I ended up making one instance of the BAQ app set up with a URL and one without. One opens in the web client, the other throws this error.
The dashboard I want to deploy really only needs to be accessible from the right click menu. Technically, I can search and launch the dash right from the menu, but it runs wide open without a part filter.
Did you ever get past this? Is there any more ādetailā to the error that may point to anything?
Since you did a āsearchā to get to the menu itemā¦ Iām assuming you were making changes to an existing menu. Was it a UD menu to begin with and youāre attempting to CHANGE it to a Kinetic menu? Can you create a new menu from scratch and see if it goes through?
