ActionRegenerator

Hi, I have been trying to get the ActionRegenerator to work.

I have download the latest version of the API, ActionGenerator, server & client, installed the API and put the actionregenerator on the server, which is running Windows 2003 Server.

I have created a actionregenerator BigFix account and I have connected to the console sucessfully.

I have configured the actionregenerator.config file as follows

######################################

  1. Action Regenerator Config File

######################################

  1. You need to change these config options:

databasedsn=bes_EnterpriseServer;

username=ActionRegenerator;

password=*******;

signingkeysfolder=D:\Program Files\BigFix Enterprise\ActionRegenerator;

  1. You probably don’t want to change these (although you can if you want)

preactiontitle=AUTOGENERATED: ;

sitename=BigFix AntiPest;

fixletid=4;

actionid=2;

targetrelevance=true;

daystillexpire=7;

temporaldistribution=60;

skipverification=1;

The output I get from the command line is as follows

ACTIONLOG: Tue Mar 11 16:42:34 2008: Running Script…

Does anyone know what I’m not doing correctly

I played around with my config file and created new user accounts. I get a different error message if I mess up the database location, username or password, or set the signingkeysfolder to an invalid path. I get the same error message if I set the signingkeysfolder to a path that contains some other users key files or if I use BES Admin to remove the user.

So, I believe that one of two things is happening:

  1. You removed the ActionRegenerator user

  2. The signingkeysfolder path contains some other users keys

If you can log into the console as the ActionRegenerator user, can you propagate actions? Are you sure that the signing keys used used for the BES Console are in the same path as in the actionregenerator script?
