BR Forum

Is anyone else having issues with the Wiki? I have tried from a couple different browsers and I am seeing a lot of error messages at the top of the page. I have attached a screenshot of the errors I'm seeing in case it is helpful to anyone. Thanks.

Steve may be on to something. What are the contents of your brlistener.conf? Ours looks something like this: logfile=/usr/br/brlistener.log loglevel=10 [ LABEL=BR431fb EXECUTABLE=/usr/br/br431fb_executable.sh STARTDIR=/usr/br/ STDERR=/usr/br/br431fb_stderr.log CONFIG=/usr/br/br431fb_config.sys ] The...

That particular log file looks normal to me. Do you have any other log files you can share? I'm curious what your STDERR log is showing, if anything. Perhaps that will have more information that may help narrow down the problem. In my experience, the client-server error receiving data errors are alm...

Steve, I was able to get it working but I had to use an external tool to make it work. I ended up using cURL (which is free) to dump the contents of the webpage into a text file and then read that text file from BR. I was never able to directly read secure websites directly from BR. Thanks for the f...

htmldoc - this is a free program that quickly and easily converts HTML to PostScript or PDF via command line. Many of our invoices are generated in HTML and this allows us to easily convert them to be printed/emailed/stored without altering our invoice programs. Tons of command line options allow f...

In my experience I've never had to adjust anything on the client side. If you do have trouble on the client side you may want to verify that the network you are connected to is marked Private. Sometimes you get strange behavior if Public is selected. The process to do this varies by Operating System...

Susan, If you still think the issue may be related to something Microsoft is pushing out you might be able to narrow it down by cleaning up system files. Right click on the Operating System drive, go to Properties, then click Disk Cleanup. Then go to Clean Up System Files. One of the checkboxes will...

I may have spoken too soon about being able to successfully connect. Everything works fine in my test environment but when I move the program to our live environment (which is client-server) things seem to break. Is there some special configuration I need to do with client-server? I have the ca-bund...

Thank you Gabriel and Gordon for the information. I was able to successfully connect to a couple different secure sites after placing the ca-bundle.crt with my BR executable. I appreciate the information!

Does anyone have a sample of connecting to a secure site with BR? The programs in http.zip on the FTP site seem to be dated and sites like UPS now require secure connections. The wiki mentions that ca-bundle.crt is required to connect to HTTPS however it has no instructions of where this should be p...

Have you tried removing the quotes after the put command and seeing if it works? Since there are no spaces in the path to the .exe you should be able to remove them and it may be the character causing the gibberish. Not sure if this will help any but this is the script I use to upload some documents...

John, Prior to increasing the WORKSTACK I had tried writing the call to a Linux shell script and still got the error. However ever since increasing my WORKSTACK I have not received a BR Assertion error. I have a backup program for sending e-mails in place in case we start seeing the errors again but...

Doug - thanks for the memory specs. I updated mine to be similar to yours (most notably my workstack was much smaller). Since changing those settings I haven't had a report of a BR Assertion error. A few of our primary users are gone today however so I'm not positive the issue has been resolved. But...

Steve, Another big thanks for the extra suggestions! There is definitely a pattern to the errors. For example, when running a batch of 50 invoices, invoices 31 and 48 may always cause the BR Assertion error. Each time I get the errors, I have to add code to our invoicing programs to skip these invoi...
