Sample code connection error

[rhitch]

I have Quantify installed and am able to successfully connect.
I have downloaded the sample code for Invoice Sync.
I am receiving the following error executing the sample code.
What is causing his error?
Thanks

Hi, rhitch.

Since we could not reproduce this on our end, can please review the below conditions and if any of it is not true for your test setup; can you try with satisfying all the below and please let us know.

• Quantify is installed and can login from the same machine that the sample code is tested from.

• The libraries - Avontus.Core, Avontus.Rental.Library, Avontus.Rental.Utility are referenced in the sample project from the above installation folder.

• SQL Server setup that is being used does not impose any additional access restrictions.

Thank you for posting!

I have been working on the sample C# code all the morning. I found out with the help of the software TCPView from SysInternal (TCPView for Windows - Sysinternals | Microsoft Learn) that when the software calls the line of code:

   bool success = AvontusPrincipal.Login(User, Password);

The NIC sees a communication on port 1443 (SQL port) to my PC IP address instead of the server address “www.mywebsite.com:4443”.

Because the connection string is encrypted, I do not know if the error root cause is in the connection string or another part of the code. Is this API is only consumable within the same local network where is the Quantify server hosted.

I found in the forum a user that has a request similar to my needs, but the Avountus response was that the QuantifySettings.xml file in C:\ProgramData\Avontus\Quantify\Settings\ has the values to perform a remote connection using the Quantify website interface/port. If that is true why the communication seen on my end is trying port 1443 and not 4443.

Connect to Quantify API remotely

I am trying to do a proof of concept for connecting a web/ mobile app via a C# integration to the Quantify API and I am having trouble proving that the connection will work. I have downloaded the sample app, and am trying to run that under the same conditions which I will need to use from the app. I keep getting the following error - "Avontus.Core.DataPortalException: 'DataPortal.Update failed (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): A network-related or instance-specific error occ…

Hi, rhitch.

Thank you for the details.

Is this API is only consumable within the same local network where is the Quantify server hosted.

The API can connect to local or remote. The prerequisite is to have the Quantify Client installed and working on the same machine you’re testing it from and is successfully connecting to the same server that you’d like your code to connect to. Basically, the code would be sharing the same configuration and connecting to the same database as the installed Quantify.
Ideally, in your Visual Studio project, you should be referencing the three Avontus.* DLLs from the Quantify installation folder.
Fulfilling both the above should suffice for connection using the first two options (“This computer” and “Local network server”) which are direct SQL connection (not web based). If you’re using the third option, URL based, additional configuration is needed in the Visual Studio project. Please let us know if you need details for it.

Thanks for posting.

Hi.
As I posted in my original message…
Yes, I can make a connection to Quantify using the client.
And yes I have the required libs.

And yes, I am using the 3rd option - URL based.
So Yes I will need further details

Thank you

[AvontusDev]

Hi, rhitch.

Thanks again for the details. To connect to the remote URL, a <system.serviceModel> section, similar to below, may be defined in the config (App.config). Once you’ve got the section setup, you should be able to connect by setting the below properties before invoking Login.

        Avontus.Core.ApplicationContext.DataPortalProxy = "Avontus.Core.DataPortalClient.WcfProxy, Avontus.Core";
        Avontus.Core.ApplicationContext.DataPortalUrlString = "https://quantify-web-url/wcfportal.svc/binary";

Hi.
The sample code is now working - thank you.

How do the Invoices get updated to indicate that they have been synced ?

[AvontusDev]

Hi, rhitch.

Can you see if the SyncStatus Property of Invoice Object solves it for you?
