Repository Access - Get server property returning blank string

SDK Version 9

Updated February 9, 2015

asked on February 9, 2015

I am going to upgrade LF version from 9.0 to 9.2, and in my test environment with LFS 9.2, i want to get the server property company, and TotalRetrievalLicenses, but it is returning a blank string. Some properties are fine and some others show a blank string of Server object.

//Get laserfiche server
Server lfserver = new Server("localhost");

//Show property
MessageBox.Show(lfserver.Company);

I have read this question but refreshing not solve my problem (

https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/48695/SDK--C--Repository-Access--Get-Server-Version-returning-blank-string).

Any help will be appreciated.

Try this

//Get laserfiche server
Server lfserver = new Server("localhost");
lfserver.Refresh();
//Show property
MessageBox.Show(lfserver.Company);

Thank you for your answer, but it does not work. I can see the Server properties in the Admin console but for an unknown reason, i can't see some properties using SDK.

Which properties? Bert's code works fine.

Specifically: Company = "", TotalFullFeaturedLicenses = 0, TotalRetrievalLicenses = 0, DefaultRepository = "" and Support = "".

When I changed FlexibleLicensing = True using Admin Console, in the Server property it was equal false after a LFServer.Refresh().

I see what you mean. In VB, before I call lfserver.Refresh, lfserver.Company = Nothing and after lfserver.Company = ""

Interesting and not sure what to tell you. Hopefully someone from LF can supply an answer.

Edit: Here is screenshot of debug info:

Also note that my project is using RA9.0 and my server is 9.2.0.343. Also, VS is NOT on the same machine as LF Server.

And you have configured a Default Repository and your name Company is visible in the Admin Console? I am using RA9.0 to create Server object from LF Server 9.2.0.472.

Once I installed SDK9.2 and changed my project to use RA9.2, then the server info refreshed as expected.

This is actually a known issue with RA 9.0 against 9.2 servers because of enhancements to security added for 9.2. Updating your project to use RA 9.2 should get it working again.

OK. But referencing RA 9.2 into my project does not solve my issue. That's funny! It should work. I just referenced Repository Access assembly in my project but that's not solve it.
